We dive into Clone Wars Season 4 episodes featuring Gungans and droids while exploring deeper themes about citizenship and sentience in the Star Wars universe.
• The Gungan-focused "Shadow Warrior" episode portrays them as a capable military force rather than comic relief
• General Grievous is captured by just ten Gungans, showcasing their effectiveness against droids
• Jar Jar Binks impersonates the Gungan leader and shows surprising competence
• R2-D2 and C-3PO's standalone adventures in "Mercy Mission" and "Nomad Droids" were the least-watched episodes in the series
• These episodes raise interesting questions about droid sentience and whether artificial intelligence deserves rights
• The conversation explores how beings hierarchically classify others as "second-class citizens" even within oppressed groups
• Next week's live episode will cover the emotionally powerful Umbara arc
Join us next week for our live discussion of the Umbara arc! Watch episodes 7-10 of Season 4 and bring your tissues – it's going to be an emotional ride.
