While I am personally obsessed with the Nightsisters, I find it disappointing that the non-Nightsister witches of Dathomir are never explored outside of the original work this entire mess was introduced in, which was The Courtship of Princess Leia. Especially as the 'good' witches were the main focus of the story they were introduced in. This is why I want to have them in my Heart of Shadow story at some point.

Dathomir's portrayal in Star Wars has always had a lot of, well, issues, and in fact there are a lot of similarities across the portrayals. But the differences are also interesting to me, and I think the retcon choices say something about the different people involved here.

Right now I'm re-reading The Courtship of Princess Leia and while I enjoy collecting the essential Dathomir witch trivia, this story is a dumpster fire of misogyny and other severely troubling attitudes.
