We restarted our discussion on the following comment after 1:05:40 due to another audio error, which we have cut out, but otherwise the recording is still sound! We are revamping our setup this weekend to avoid this issue from recurring again. Below is a summary of Liam's final point before audio error-
Dark Empire from Legends/EU came before midichlorians were first explained, and the story had trouble balancing force spirits and force science together. The Bad Batch is working on the same idea of dark side force user cloning as applied to The Rise of Skywalker, and the promise of Omega and the overall The Bad Batch story's contribution to Palpatine's cloning efforts.

Liam and Sanak go live to discuss The Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 5 "The Return" as well as a Live Q&A where we take your questions, comments, and theories about the series. We spend some time midway to discuss some recent Star Wars news as well. Please be aware we had some audio issues on the stream, so the ending of the podcast is abrupt.
Sanak's Final Comment: Have Dark Disciple scenes used as a shocking and violent montage to cover the general story beats, during the process where Asajj is revived by the Sleeper, which produces the Water of Life. If not already hitting fans over the head with more Dune allusions ("The Sleeper Has Awakened!"), it can be a way for Quinlan or someone else to directly revive Asajj, be something Hemlock would desperately want (and connect to Thrawn arriving to Dathomir at the end of Ahsoka), and ensure that Dark Disciple is something people will be interested to go back and read about!
