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.

Talking points include: I'm gonna be honest, its a lot of us just digging into the issues we have plus discussions of Speed Racer, how there's a lot of telling and not enough showing, more about character arcs and the Dark Night of the Soul, why are there always so many Inquisitors aka the legion of Scary Guys, is Star Wars animation getting too popular and yeah, even more Speed Racer. Devon was pretty great in these eps tho.

Talking points include: why these episodes feel like progress, the character cascade and what we want to see from Maul, Mrs Brander Lawson and her hot Imperial wife, Maul's pandemic internet archetype, unnecessary additions in these eps, the hottest man is old and in distress, rapid fire show name brainstorm sesh, an unappreciated Roller Coaster Tycoon reference, book club!, and how Gertie! Spy Kids became the Inquisitor.
