#249 – Clone Wars Conversations Season 5 Pt 2 (E6-13): Younglings Getting Their Lightsaber Crystals On Ilum and R2D2 & The Droids Stuck In The Void

Genuine Chit-Chat

Clone Wars Conversations continues with the second part of Season 5 (episodes 6-13)! Dave, Maff & Mike talk in-depth about two arcs in this episode, as their journey on this Clone Wars companion podcast continues!

In this episode, the trio discuss the first arc (ep 6-9); where a group of younglings go on a quest to Ilum for their lightsaber (Kyber) crystals with Ahsoka & Yoda and then meet Huyang to help construct them, where they are interrupted by a certain pirate; Hondo! The second arc apparently features George Lucas’ favourite Clone Wars episodes (10-13), where a small-statured general goes on a mission with a handful of droids to infiltrate a separatist ship and end up being stranded in the desert known as The Void before finding a curious out of place local. As well as talking about these episodes, Dave, Maff & Mike discuss George Lucas’ involvement in the Clone Wars, Huyang’s appearance in Ahsoka, droids in Star Wars and more!

Episodes featured; The Gathering, A Test Of Strength, Bound For Rescue & A Necessary Bond and Secret Weapons, A Sunny Day In The Void, Missing In Action & Point Of No Return.
