#255 – Clone Wars Conversations Season 6 Pt 2 (E5-7): Return Of Clovis: Anakin Almost Beats Padmé’s Friend To Death, Plus Muuns Banking On Scipio

Clone Wars Conversations continues with an underrated arc, about Anakin’s possessive love of Padmé and Palpatine’s control over the galactic banks, all in the second batch of episodes from Season 6! Dave, Maff & Mike talk in-depth about Anakin’s fall, Padmé’s tactics and Palpatine’s plans!

In more detail, the trio discuss Star Wars banking, the further plots of Palpatine, how brutally Anakin almost kills Clovis and the impact on his marriage with Padmé it has, plus Mike talks about Muuns and Darth Plagueis, the handmaiden Teckla Minnau, Rex’s helment change and much more, including what these episodes mean for Revenge Of The Sith & beyond (without detailing Bad Batch, as Dave & Maff have yet to see it).

Episodes featured; An Old Friend, The Rise Of Clovis and Crisis At Heart.
