Brody, Brian and Amanda review the Return to Geonosis arc of The Clone Wars season 2. We praise the visuals, action scenes, and new characters like Barriss Offee but criticize the questionable ethics of the Jedi order. While the tone and pace of the arc varies dramatically between episodes, each offers a unique insight into the past and future of the series. 

Join us as we debate the merits of characters such as Ki-Adi-Mundi, Luminara Unduli, and Obi-Wan Kenobi and the careful balance between awkward and romantic dialogue.

Ever wonder the ethical implications swirling around the Jedi's adoption of Force-sensitive children? This fiery debate between Brian and Brody will leave you questioning the righteousness of the Jedi Order. 

But what's a Star Wars discussion without a bit of bounty hunter banter? We're ranking our top five, and spoiler alert, it's not all about Boba Fett. While we pay homage to his iconic role, the cunning Cad Bane steals the show. We also delve into the design of Clone Troopers, their significance, and how they tie the overarching narrative together. So strap in, as we embark on an epic journey to a galaxy far, far away.

Have you seen the 2008 animated Clone Wars film? Well prior to this review, Amanda and Brody had never seen it, nor did they have any plans to. Brian, however, a Clone Wars stan, had seen it when it released and implored that as such he's the only true fan of the bunch. 

A film centered around the kidnapping of Jabba the Hutt's son, Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano must recover Jabba's son in order to foster a positive relationship between the Hutts and the Galactic Republic. 

But was this movie any good? Listen in to our review to grab our thoughts on whether this movie was a hit or a giant heap of bantha fodder.

The planet Ryloth, home to the Twi'lek people, falls under the oppressive occupation of the Separatist droid army. In "Storm on Ryloth," Ahsoka disobeys orders during an attack on the blockade, leading to a loss of her squadron. Anakin guides her to persevere and entrusts her with another daring mission.

In "Innocents on Ryloth," Obi-Wan must infiltrate a droid-occupied town to sabotage anti-aircraft guns, only to discover the inhabitants used as living shields. Clones forge an unlikely bond with a refugee Twi'lek girl, Numa, shedding light on the true human cost of the war.

The saga concludes in "Liberty on Ryloth" as the Republic strives to liberate Ryloth from the droid army led by Wat Tambor. Mace Windu persuades Twi'lek freedom fighter Cham Syndulla to join forces in a climactic battle to save the capital city and ultimately free the entire planet.
