The Diva Batch - The Summit

Warning, Stef and Chris were both in a mood when they recorded this one and this episode is very chaotic. In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch episode "The Summit" (s2e15). The Bad Batch decide to infiltrate Tarkin's Summit so they can plant a transponder on Hemlock's ship and follow him back to boob planet. That's easy, right? Meanwhile someone else makes everything worse. Sigh. Join us as we barrel directly into tragedy!

So how is Echo and Crosshair doing? We find out in this episode! Just a fair warning, we had some technical difficulties with our audio but we were able to deliver a fun episode for all of you! We discuss important topics like, which Star Wars character do we want to have a "quickie" with, and why it is important to vote (and VOTE DAMMIT!). We discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch Episode "Tipping Point" (s2e14) where we see Echo saving Clones, and Crosshair not doing so great. What will the divas have to say about this episode? Listen and find out!

Ready for a special edition of Dark Side Divas and the Divas Book Club?! 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? In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch episode "Metamorphosis" (s2e11). Clone Force 99 is informed by Cid that there's a crashed ship that they can easily recover cargo from, but is it always that easy when Cid asks you to do something? Meanwhile we met the worst villain in Star Wars history. What will the divas have to say about one of the most important episodes in animation history? Listen and find out!

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. Meanwhile we pop off about George Lucas and his opinion on AI. Listen to hear what the divas have to say!

Ready to be personally attacked? It turns out Star Wars is very good at that. In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch episode "The Crossing" (s2e9). Omega misses Echo, and the boys are fighting. They are on a mission to find a bunch of exploding rocks for Cid, but the story becomes a personal attack on Stef and Chris over and over again. What will they say about this episode? Listen and find out!

Sometimes the truth isn't enough. After Stef invents a word to criticize Chris's perfectly cromulent content creation methods, we discuss the Star Wars - The Bad Batch episode "Truth and Consequences" (s2e8). Rex calls The Bad Batch for help with finding proof that Admiral Rampart blew up Kamino. Will they be able to help Senator Chuchi and prevent the senate from creating a new army, while also force retiring the Clones? Who in this episode seems to always be one step ahead. Listen and find out what Stef and Chris have to say!
