35. The Blue Shadow Virus

Welcome back to our Clone Wars rewatch, here on For the Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! On this episode, Andrew (@StarlightAndrew), Don (@DonovanMeade), Jake (@JediJake__), & Conor (@DepaBanana) discuss the Blue Shadow Virus arc! We look back at one of our most nostalgic arcs of the early portions of the series, including the campy wonderful villain that is Dr. Nuvo Vindi, all-timer Glup Shitto Peppy Bow, the unexpected origins of Anakin's flirting line in The Phantom Menace, the horrors of Jar Jar in a hazmat suit, and the threat of the titular virus itself throughout the episodes! We also talk about how our views of the episode have changed in a post-pandemic world, and give birth to a few new memes to add to the podcast lore.  Episodes Discussed: "Blue Shadow Virus" (S1E17), "Mystery of a Thousand Moons" (S1E18) Listen to our newest Bad Batch recap!-https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/r5IQMWTiGwb Listen to our Best of 2022 episode!-https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/vjmH73ViGwb "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 Subscribe to our YouTube channel!-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_Aywl930XitqQYXrOr2Bg Follow the podcast on Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod, Instagram-@fortherepublicpod, & TikTok-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.
