Before we dive into the final episodes of season 2 of Star Wars - The Bad Batch, we discuss the book “Sanctuary - A Bad Batch Novel.” If you have not read this book yet, Stef and Chris take the time to give a spoiler free review of the book, and then they dive right into the book itself. How are the characters different in book form? Have their opinions or perspectives of certain characters changed? What about the different characters introduced in the book? Should you even read this book? Listen to hear what the divas have to say!

THE DIVAS HAVE RETURNED!

After surviving a lot of technical issues, the divas can finally return and discuss a episode we kinda wish was our last episode of The Bad Batch. In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss "Pabu" (s2e13). Clone Force 99 is still not returning Cid's phone calls, and Phee wants to take them to a safe location. What we didn't expect is that The Bad Batch will be taken to paradise. What do the divas think about this Star Wars episode? Listen and find out!

Y'all....we did our best. We tried to record an episode about The Bad Batch, and every bad technical thing happened during our recording. It was the worst. In our entire 5 years we have never had so many recording blunders. So we decided that we are going to give it another try when we record again. Our deepest apologies! For this week's episode of Dark Side Divas we go back to our Clone Wars days, and go back to a time where Stef almost destroyed Chris with laughter. Specifically this is when we talk about The Star Wars - The Clone Wars episodes "The Box" (s4e17) and "Crisis on Naboo" (s4e18). We go back to a simpler time where Obi-Wan Kenobi fakes his own death, traumatizes Anakin Skywalker, gets plastic surgery to assume the identify of a bounty hunter, and go undercover while hanging out with Cad Bane. All of this while being inside Count Dooku's box. Good times! If you haven't listened to this episode before, check it out!

When Star Wars gets serious, it gets very serious. In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch episode "The Outpost" (s2e12). We check-in with our bestie Crosshair, who is having a "wonderful" time on Coruscant. He goes on a mission to a far off remote planet where we met a new hot clone, and Crosshair actually opens up to him. This episode has some strong themes around veterans being forgotten, and Stef and Chris get right into it. Listen to hear what they have to say!

The Empire loses a ship and our boys decide to track it down. Why does this feel like a horror movie?

Will The Bad Batch get their home back?! In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch episode "Retrieval" (s2e10). In a episode that is often labeled as a filler episode, Stef and Chris explain why it is not, and why this strange mad max like story is very important to the overall meta plot.
