"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (television show) - season 1, episode 17 - Blue Shadow Virus - July 2023 review

"Star Wars:  The Clone Wars" (television show)

season 1, episode 17 - Blue Shadow Virus

"Fear is a disease; hope is its only cure."

 

Back on Naboo, they discover some Separatist droids, and Padme asks the Republic to send Jedi to help - Obi-Wan and Anakin in particular.

There is some kind of Separatist secret lab on Naboo. The only evidence is that downriver, the water is contaminated and is killing livestock.

As they're investigating the location of the secret lab, Padme and Jar Jar are captured.

The Blue Shadow Virus was something from before, that had only thrived in water, but some doctor / mad scientist has made an airborne version of it, and he wants to release it to the galaxy at large. They didn't explain why the doctor did that. Is he just a mad scientist? When Padme mentioned that the virus had been eradicated, he said it had been murdered. That's certainly a telling perspective. Doesn't he realize that the virus is going to kill him too?
