This week! Why Jedi are the Worst Guardians in the Galaxy!
Clone Wars Season 5 episodes 6–9 take us on a wild ride with Jedi younglings constructing their lightsabers—and facing enough danger to question the Order’s parenting skills.

– David Tennant’s fan-favorite performance as Huyang
– Our top 5 favorite ships in the Star Wars galaxy

This week we’re getting rebellious!
The Onderon arc in Clone Wars Season 5 explores the thin line between resistance and rebellion—and the emotional fallout that turns heroes into extremists.

We unpack:

– Ahsoka’s leadership test and her emotional arc
– The irony of Anakin Skywalker training rebels
– Political themes that still feel bold and relevant today

This is Star Wars storytelling at its most provocative—and it’s only the beginning. Hit play and join us on the path toward the rise of the Rebellion.
