Welcome back, Shadow Lords! In this episode, Julia and Bex are back with our trusty character, theme and plot analysis. And, of course, don't forget the goofs.

Talking points include: ok... these episode were something I guess, set up and payoff, in the end is it the writing that needs work, a lack of investment into the characters and their stories, dialogue to fill space, the "Palpatine Has Returned" quandry of telling and not showing, men just be dying, Sheev's self-care skincare cabin retreat, Darth Dingo: the seventh Beatle, an experiment in style and violence and oh, yeah, a Bad Batch spoiler.

Don't forget to leave us a review if you like the show and drop by our socials on Instagram, Bluesky & Tumblr (@thebatchpod) to say hi, chat, and enjoy Bex's beautiful memes.
