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.

If you'd like to join in the discussion, leave a voicemail at (512) 850-6653, and we might feature your comments/questions/corrections on the podcast!
