#221 – Clone Wars Conversations Season 1 Reviewed & Ranked: Is This Better Than The Movie? Jar Jar Returns, Dodgy Animation & Clone Individuality

Clone Wars Conversations officially commences! This year Dave, Maff, Mike and occasionally Megan will be reviewing every episode of the 2008 Clone Wars animated series.

In more detail, they first talk about their general thoughts on the first season before Megan talks about her highlights and favourite characters. The squad then talk about the animation style before Megan goes to bed. The boys then talk in-depth about each standalone episode, full arcs and their high & low points of the series, including the clone’s personalities, the villains, the horror elements and where Maff thinks the show is going, given there is very little dramatic tension for the main protagonists. Near the end, Mike also confirms the chronological watching order of the first 3 seasons of The Clone Wars!

#212 – Is Phantom Menace That Bad? Fixing The Star Wars Prequels & Leading To Clone Wars Conversations With Dave, Maff & Megan

This week brings another Star Wars conversation, where Dave, Maff, Megan & Mike go back to 1999 with the first of the controversial Prequel Trilogy; The Phantom Menace! The episode serves as a soft lead into the Clone Wars animated series, which Dave, Maff & Mike will be delving into in 2024 – Maff hasn’t watched the prequel trilogy in many years, while Mike is a staunch defender, so tune in to hear; is Phantom Menace actually any good?

In more detail, the gang discuss their impressions of Phantom Menace from when they first watched them and how they felt about it after the recently rewatch. They highlight certain characters, namely Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, the political dialogue, how the movie was different from the original trilogy, things they believe could’ve been improved, elements that they enjoy and whether or not this film still deserves to be maligned even 24 years after release!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming episodes on Attack Of The Clones and the Clone Wars movie, leading to the trio’s upcoming show; Clone Wars Conversations! It’ll debut in 2024 and will be a monthly podcast by Dave, Maff & Mike where they’ll be going through each season of The Clone Wars animated series.

WHAT WAS THAT BUSINESS ON CATO NEIMOIDIA? It’s time for another spoiler-free book review and this one is about the recently released Brotherhood by Mike Chen! Set in the first few weeks of the Clone Wars (just after Ep II: Attack Of The Clones) this story delves into the shift in Anakin & Obi-Wan’s relationship once Anakin is promoted from padawan to jedi while also dealing with crisis on Cato Neimoidia (as mentioned in Revenge Of The Sith) plus this book introduces a Clone Wars character, shows what Padmé & Anakin are like when aware from prying eyes as well as much more!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in June 2022.

This volume introduces us to Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi, her old Wookiee master; Arkoff, two excitable younglings and Lily’s padawan Keerin!
