This week, R2-D2 and C-3PO get into a dispute with some tree people, and find themselves recreating scenes from Gulliver's Travels and The Wizard of Oz. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, folks! Except, actually, Sam is still in Kansas. Plus: We chat about The Acolyte finale!

This week we spend more time talking about The Acolyte than about the actual thing we're here to talk about. Also, Sam got another cat! He's a cutie. The cat, that is. Sam is alright I guess.

This week we experience one of the coolest, weirdest, and most canonically important arcs in The Clone Wars — and so we enlisted the help of our lore expert and newly degree'd philosopher cousin, Cal! And he was more prepared for this episode than either Sam or I had been for this whole podcast. We expected no less.
