Welcome to the return of our Clone Wars rewatch, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! As we return to our coverage of The Clone Wars Season 2, Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Conor (@DepaBanana) look back at the standalone episode "Bounty Hunters!" A tribute to Akira Kurosawa's legendary film Seven Samurai, we discuss how Kurosawa's films have inspired Star Wars over the years, and what future stories have taken similar story beats from Seven Samurai following this episode. With the return of Hondo Ohnaka, the introduction of several new Bounty Hunters to the Star Wars universe, and a story depicting Bounty Hunters in a different light than what we normally see in Star Wars, this standout episode of The Clone Wars marks a fitting return to our journey through the animated series.
Episodes Discussed: "Bounty Hunters" (S2E17)
