This week, we discuss the first season of The Bad Batch. Find out what we enjoyed, what we think could be improved for season 2, and the ways in which we see the show strongly interlocking with the wider Star Wars universe. Plus, Kristen waxes poetic about both clones and blue bois.

The cause we’re highlighting for this bonus episode is the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance. Donate to support LGBTQ+ Asians and Pacific Islanders here.
