Duel of the Ranks

Brian and Amanda delve into two enthralling episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, season two. "Cat and Mouse" sparks their interest with its thematic parallels to The Last Jedi. The episode introduces the formidable villain Admiral Trench and marks the true chronological beginning of the season.

"Bounty Hunters" takes a different turn, channeling the spirit of Akira Kurosawa's classic film Seven Samurai. This episode unveils a new group of bounty hunters as well as familiar scum and villainy such as the cunning Hondo Ohnaka. Both Brian and Amanda find these episodes to be a turning point for the series, impressed by the diversity of characters and storylines on display.
