Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

The Bad Batch, now streaming on Disney+, is the latest canonical Star Wars TV series from creator Dave Filoni. Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky never tire of talking Star Wars, and in this episode we talk about The Bad Batch as well as other installments in the Filoni-verse, Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, and The Mandalorian, and explore what these shows have to say about the complicated nature of good and evil, the spirituality of parenting, and the importance of diversity.
