# Episode 320: How Come He Doesn't Have A Lightsaber?
### Description
Well listeners, it's finally here: the D-Squad Arc of THE CLONE WARS. But did we hate it as much as we thought we would? Kind of. But there are also a few things to appreciate here as well. Also included: a buckwild ranking of Star Wars video games, some spoiler-free discussion of _The New Jedi Order: Traitor_, and the Jedi status of certain republic colonels.
