This week on The Essentials, Mallory, Esra, and Gina go see a Star War on the small screen. Mallory goes deep into how the animated series offers redemption to the storylines of the Prequel films, Esra applauds the layered complexities added to Anakin Skywalker, and Gina ponders the deep-rooted contradictions that make up the franchise. Thanks for being a subscriber to our podcast!
