Part 7/10:
Particularly problematic was the storyline involving the all-female society of witches, who used Force magic to generate their offspring—a plot point seen by many as a blatant attempt to insert lesbian witches into the canon. This element was promoted heavily in promotional interviews, which contributed to the perception of the series as driven more by political correctness than by rich storytelling.
Headin herself acknowledged that the depiction of no men in the witches' society was intended to evoke a natural closeness between the characters, but critics dismissed this as simplistic and plot-driven rather than a meaningful choice. Many argued that these elements served to push an agenda rather than explore genuine storytelling or character development.
