Check out the entire Fourth Year Clone Wars playist here >>>

Me as a kid: The prequels suck because of the political plots.

A true criminal doesn't rob a bank he owns it

This arc was great in that it, more than any other arc, shows how Palpatine and Dooku played both sides of the conflict to further the Sith's rise to power.

"WE MUST DEREGULATE, THE BANKS!" - only Palpatine could make this statement sound epic.

Palpatine always accepts more power with great humility. Such a noble figure and bright light of decency for the Republic.

I must say... Palpatine and Darth Plagueis were geniuses

I love how the thumbnail really captured the complexity and genius in a decades in the making, galaxy spanning, devious plan to take control of the Galaxy with this simple utterance "BANKS!"

"The bank will decide your fate!"

I learned economics from the clone wars

The Credit is mightier than the Lightsaber

“Let’s take a moment of silence for these brave clones.”

Have my F, and my like, for our hero Commander Thorn. May he rest in peace. For the Republic!

Palpatine be like: "Infinite Money Glitch *Not Clickbait!!*"

This arc is one of my favorites. I wish there was a Disney+ series that dived into politics of The New Republic and the mess that the Empire left. Something like House of Cards but Star Wars.

Ah yes another important piece of star wars lore and story.

Honestly I love learning about the logistics and politics of star wars it makes the galaxy feel more alive when theres more detail so this ark was very enjoyable for me

Has anyone else ever stopped around

Idk why but Anakin losing it and beating the shit out of Klovis like a frat boy always makes me chuckle

Alan does not receive nearly enough credit in these comment sections. His comprehensive SW analyses and ability to compare/contrast it to the real world is incredible. Keep it up Alan!
