The Clone Wars Rewatch: “Darkness on Umbara”, “The General”, “Plan of Dissent”, and “Carnage of Krell”

This week on Skytalkers, we’re discussing the Umbara arc from The Clone Wars. Considered some of the best episodes of the series, we’re excited to dive into them: Darkness on Umbara (407), The General (408), Plan of Dissent (409), Carnage of Krell (410). Tune into this week’s episode to hear us talk all about this four-episode arc! What was the reaction from fans when these episodes first aired in 2011? How do these episodes develop the clones as individuals? How is Rex shown as a leader throughout the Umbara arc? Fives? Why is it important to have a character like Pong Krell in this show and what does his character have to say about the larger themes surrounding the Jedi, the clones, and the war? …and much, much more!
