It is the day that all
Star Wars nerds revere – May the 4th/”May The Force” – and it’s time to explore the LGBT+ representation in one of the biggest pieces of pop culture in living history.
The road to more meaningful LGBT+ representation has been a long one for
Star Wars, but in recent years, the hit sci-fi series has upped its game.
The Bad Batch Affirms Order 66 as the Linchpin of the Star Wars Universe
Star Wars: The Bad Batch arrives on Disney+ today, as a spin-off from
The Clone Wars picking up on the eponymous dysfunctional military unit introduced in the first arc of the show’s final season.
The series premiere is a feature-length adventure, playing as a multi-episode arc of
The Clone Wars streaming as a single presentation. As with the theatrical release of the original
Clone Wars film, which feels like severaldifferentepisodes stitched together, the season premiere of
The Bad Batch feels like a three-part story that has been neatly edited into a 72-minute adventure. This gives the story a clear three-act structure.
Psychohistorical Crisis (2001) is set in our far far future, with humanity spread out across the galaxy. It begins with a psychohistorian called Eron Osa seeing his “fam” destroyed, and with it the better part of his mind and his memory.

What’s also brilliant here is the reality of millennia of recorded history and predictable futures, which both future and past are simul
Forged in the aftermath of a global war that left Earth’s Northern Hemisphere in ruins, the Federation united first Earth, then the Solar System, and finally the stars across a vast volume of space. Although humans were not the only intelligent species in the region, they were by far the most technologically advanced. Thus, it was trivial for the Federation to dominate. Indeed, it had no external enemies (which didn’t stop it from constructing space fleets and weapons able to depopulate continents).
Unfortunately for the Federation, the novels were written by a staunch pessimist who didn’t believe any human organization was eternal. According to Piper, a major cause of the Federation’s downfall was economic: local economic development disrupted interstellar trade, which in turn led to strife, open conflict, and secession as various regions tried to shore up their economies. Ultimately, civil wars left the old Federation in ruins and too weak to resist predators like the Spac
