14. The Capture of Nute Gunray

Welcome to For the Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! On today's episode, we return to our chronological rewatch of The Clone Wars as Andrew (@StarlightAndrew), Conor (@DepaBanana), Don (@DonovanMeade), and Jake (@JediJake__) discuss the Nute Gunray Arc of the series! We talk about the heroics and comedy of "Master Bombad" Jar Jar Binks, the heart of Padme Amidala, the team-up of Ahsoka and Luminara against Asaaj Ventress, turning General Grievous into a horror movie monster, and the tragedy of Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb, and how the slimy coward Viceroy Gunray connects them all together! We also make an announcement about our next episode!  Episodes Discussed: "Bombad Jedi" (S1E8), "Cloak of Darkness" (S1E9), "Lair of Grievous" (S1E10)  Submit questions for our Q&A on Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod and on the SWE Discord Server!-https://discord.gg/zeBMQjGu  "WHAT CHOICE?": Star Wars Fans for Abortion Access-https://www.gofundme.com/f/what-choice  Support the Amidala Initiative-https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-amidala-initiative-for-equality-texas  Follow the podcast on Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod and Instagram-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.
