Space dads, space witches, and redemption arcs abound in the final season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch and in the Tales of the Empire animated miniseries. 

Holly Raymond Phd, the poetess, professor, and reader of All The Star Wars Ever has returned to share her insights on these animated Star Wars shows on Disney +

We cover a lot of ground in this spoiler-filled episode:

• Animation styles
• Biology is not destiny is also true about midi-chlorian counts
• Being choosy about trans narratives
• Depicting war in a family-friendly show
• Ambiguously ethnic Jedi cultural practices
• Project Necromancer, Sniper Clone X2 and the rest of the show’s conspiracies
• “the intrinsic lesbian desire to have Asajj Ventress in every show.” 

If you missed it, Holly and I covered Bad Batch Seasons 1 and 2 here.
