Clone Wars Conversations continues with the third & final part of Season 4 “Battle Lines” (episodes 19-22)! Dave, Maff & Mike have split this season up into 3 so the trio can discuss certain arcs and individual episodes of The Clone Wars in more detail to make this Clone Wars companion podcast even better!

In this episode, the trio discuss the 4-part arc with episodes Massacre, Bounty, Brothers and Revenge. These episodes are centred around the Nightsisters of Dathomir, Savage Opress finding (Darth) Maul and Asajj Ventress finding her way in the universe, while Obi-Wan is pursuing on Maul & Opress. Dave, Maff & Mike talk about these episodes that are far more mature than prior episodes, while delving deeper into the involved characters & galactic events, all with some lore/trivia sprinkled in!

Clone Wars Conversations has been releasing monthly since January 21st 2024 on the usual podcast feeds & YouTube (eps 221, 225, 229, 233, 236, 238 & 241 of GCC): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcO1Ib_BGD8Y79aRWUxSWwdy3eyNrbXBl
