We’re wrapping up our discussion of Ahsoka’s first season with a look at the secondary characters and B-plots that tied the show together. Did Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati break new ground as villains? How much did Hera even matter to the story? And did the series do a good job of exploring the nuances of New Republic galactic security debates, in which our warrior heroes are often working against democracy?

Plus, Haley tells Eric about a wild Ahsoka fan theory that dredges up one of the weirdest things to come out of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
