We're back from our early September break and returning with another very strong arc, the Slaves of the Republic (or Zygerian Slavers) arc, based on a 6-part comic written by Henry Gilroy and published by Dark Horse. This arc is special because we get to two things that are very rare in Star Wars: Obi-Wan truly at a loss for how to save people, and Anakin acting like James Bond.

We're back, just before our two-week hiatus, with Plan of Dissent and Carnage of Krell! These episodes very impressively serve their purpose capping off conclusion of the Umbara arc, setting a new standard for the quality of stories Clone Wars can tell and giving us some of the finest voice acting in the series so far from Dee Bradley Baker.

We've finally reached one of the best and most pivotal arcs in all of the Clone Wars: Darkness on Umbara. Not only visually stunning but also some of the best writing we've ever gotten for the Clones and their infamous temporary leader, Pong Krell, the Umbara arc represents a new high water mark for quality in the show.

Potentially hitting the low point for the Clone Wars, this two episode pair focuses almost entirely on C-3PO and R2-D2, and could be completely skipped over without losing anything for the larger Star Wars storylines. While they introduce some interesting Willow inspired magic and creatures, they are never mentioned again in canon and so, by the end, it's like the story never even happened.

We return this week with one of the rare fully standalone episodes of Season 4, in this case a Gungan version of Kurosawa's 1980 film, Shadow Warrior! While the ending differs quite a bit, in a more family friendly way, the bones are all their and it's not a bad outing on Naboo all told.

We start season four off with a bang (or an underwater implosion, more specifically) in the truly unique arc Water War, detailing a planetary civil war between the Quarren and Mon Calamari. In our assessment the show has never looked better, or been more spectacular, than it does here. Even if the story can't quite keep up with the visuals, it's still a great time overall.

We've finally reached the end of the third season of Chronological Clone Wars, and it wraps up on a bit of a lighter note compared to the previous two arcs. While the episodes themselves feel pretty par for the course for Clone Wars, the technological advancements in terms of how they design their more organic looking sets are noticeable, and there's a solid lesson for Anakin to learn tucked away in the last few seconds.

We're nearing the end of our third season of Chronological Clone Wars, and truth be told neither one of us remembered much about this arc prior to our rewatch. But afterwards, we were shocked at how much very important info comes from these episodes, including the some serious characterization for Captain Tarkin outside of the movies, and the "death" of Echo.

We've been talking for a long time about actually recording and posting our discussions from before we start recording the episodes as their own things, so we're finally giving it a shot! Let us know how you feel about these separate, conversational style pieces that aren't necessary attached to any specific bits of media.

We've finally returned to our chronological watch through of the Clone Wars, and we're back with a bang! The Mortis arc is one of the iconic arcs from the show, and we've got a lot to talk about in terms of how George Lucas seemingly views both the Force itself, and the definition of balance.

We are finally taking a look back at Andor's second season. When we ask ourselves the question, "Is Andor's second season truly a masterpiece?", we find it hard to answer any way other than an unequivocal YES! However, when we ask whether or not all Star Wars should be like Andor, that is a more complicated answer. Let's dive in!

Cad Bane's tale is a strong contender for the best of the series so far, up alongside Dooku's arc. From his background as a kid on the streets to finally putting on the iconic hat, it's interesting to see what led him to be the character we know and love from the Clone Wars. And even despite knowing how it ends up, they still manage to get some good tension into the finale, which is no easy feat.

Let's talk about the first three episodes of Tales of the Underworld! A fun story dealing with Asajj's resurrection, and somewhat unique in the Tales series as the story is one long story instead of three separate ones.

After a lengthy delay due to being out of town and then being sick, we are finally back to talk about the series finale of Andor. And what a series finale it ended up being! Let's jump in!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastsCHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf
This block proves to be an absolute masterpiece. As incredibly well written as it is, it can be difficult to watch at times, when the parallels being drawn between what is happening in the fictional Star Wars galaxy and our own are getting clearer with each passing moment.
