Listen Later

On this week’s episode of Skytalkers, we’re continuing our The Clone Wars Rewatch and discussing the two episodes, “Mercy Mission” (405) and “Nomad Droids” (406)! Tune in to hear us discuss: 


  • How were these C-3PO and R2-D2-focused episodes first received by fans in 2011? 
  • How do these episodes lean in to archetypes found across fairy tales? 
  • What do these episodes say about the role of the clones and droids during the Clone Wars? 
  • Why does it matter to have parallels to classic stories like “Gulliver’s Travels” and the “Wizard of Oz” in Star Wars? 
  • …and much much more!
