Episode 63: Rush Clovis Arc

Guess who’s back, back again? The Right Honorable Rush Clovis — except he’s wrong, and dishonorable, and wrecking not just Anakin and Padmé’s marriage but also the GALAXY’S ENTIRE BANKING SYSTEM.

In our recap of the Rush Clovis Arc (The Clone Wars 6.5–7, "An Old Friend", "The Rise of Clovis,” and "Crisis at the Heart”) we talk about why the Clone Wars chose to tell another economic story, and figure out why it’s so compelling. We talk about Padmé and Anakin’s terrible marriage, whether or not Rush Clovis is redeemable, and why Palpatine is the GOAT master planner.

It’s all set against the gorgeous Swiss chalet backdrop of Scipio, feat. our fave bounty hunter Embo, his dog, and an absolutely fantastic snowboard chase scene. 

Next week, we get a palate cleanser in the form of a JAR-JAR ARC! We’re watching “The Disappeared,” Parts One and Two (The Clone Wars 6.8–9).
