Show Notes

On the planet Kiros, artisan colonists created a society with no weapons, only art and beauty. Let's see how that plays out for them! Count Dooku makes an offer the governor can't refuse: 'Safe haven' for the citizens of Kiros as slaves, under the control of Zygerrian Atai Molec! 

Anakin, Obi-wan, and Ahsoka arrive. The battle rages! When Obi-wan goes to meet to discuss terms for surrender, D'Nar explains he meant that Obi-wan would surrender. Obi-wan wants to settle things the old Zygerrian way, which just turns out to be hand-to-hand combat. Obviously, D'Narr beats the shit out of Kenobi.  

Obi-wan returns to his old stand-by, reneging on surrender negotiations - but D'Nar escapes to his ship and takes off. Anakin and Ahsoka give chase by sacrificing their AT-PT walkers to double jump, just like Mario dropping Yoshi down a pit. 

They bad cop/worse cop D'Nar into explaining that the Zygerrians will use the colonists to rebuild their slave empire. Then the Jedi Council discusses things and comes to the conclusion that the Zygerrians will use the colonists to rebuild their slave empire! 

Our jedi travel to Zygeria to try to locate the kidnapped colonists.  Ahsoka is playing the part of the slave because Anakin claims he wasn’t any good at it when he played the part despite an 8 season run on Tatooine that Watto described as ‘a good time had by all’.  

Ahsoka meets a slaver and Anakin talks his way into a meeting with the queen, he gives the queen Ahsoka and the queen must be picking up what Anakin is putting down because she is super into this whole scene.  Somewhere Kit Fisto senses a very erotic disturbance in the Force.

Rex and Obi Wan find the Togruta leader and try to escape on a lizard.  I’m not sure why that’s the character trait they chose to highlight for Obi Wan, but there you go.  

Obi Wan is captured and we transition to the slave auction and get a pretty sweet RotJ music cue and R2 launches the lightsabers to Anakin and the jail break is in full swing.  The jedi are quickly overwhelmed but Anakin fights to the last and the queen is so into Anakin’s determination that she is about to join Kit Fisto in an erotic coma.  

The queen and Anakin are flying on lizards and the queen is violating quite a few HR regulations. They have a philosophical debate about self interest and freedom and I haven’t learned the queen’s name until now but I suspect it’s probably Johanna Galt or something subtle like that.

The slaves have been put to work. Obi Wan tries to make things better, but "Jedi only make things worse".  Which breaks Kenobi's spirit when he realizes he cannot help the others.  

The queen & Dooku argue, and her PM betrays her, so now enter Anakin to be framed for her murder.

Anakin announces that a republic fleet, having just jumped into light speed, will even the odds, they free the slaves from the prison camp! After being freed, Ahsoka encourages the Governor to join the republic.
