Which is just so lame and gay, especially when you consider that Quinn was fine when she was The Joker’s Robin (like in BTAS), and (this is reaching deep into the recesses of minutiae) weren’t the witches introduced as somehow being involved in forcing the birth of Darth Maul with their dark force magic?
It’s literally just “ok take that cool, established element from the story and crank the lame to 10 and the gay to 11”
I'm not sure if the witches were established in one of the EU novels or the Clone Wars show. But I'm surely noticing that witches are spotlighted in the Ashoka show, Acolyte show, Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. Probably other media I missed well. And we all know why this is happening.
I agree with Harley Quinn. Best if they just left the character as is. The need to constantly and incessantly "deconstruct" and "subvert" things is killing traditional media. Again, we all know why this is happening.
I actually had that one. It may have been the first EU novel I read which isn't great since it was set 8 years after ANH while Heir to the Empire happens almost right after RotJ, but it was still quite good from what I remember.
The original nightsisters were great. Mother Talzan was clearly evil yet also looking out for her kind (fair enough). The Disney stuff with them has been hit or miss. Acolyte is terrible, while the Jedi Fallen Order series does a great job with Merrin.
Harley Quinn is nothing more than a vehicle for the feminist message.
The sudden obsession with the Night Witches in Star Wars is the same thing. A convenient vehicle to carry the message to the viewers.

'The Courtship of Princess Leia' from 1994.

100% EU. They rode rancors in Empire at war. Was fun.
