I can't imagine how hard it would be to wipe out an existing army of seasoned veteran clone troopers with a handful of new hires that can't hit the broad side of a barn, lol! They may just have a killcode "Order 67." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalvasflam Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) All things considered, I was ok with this particular episode. The truth is, the squad wasn’t going to all of a sudden go and kill a ship full of imps. Edited August 15, 2021 by kalvasflam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The season ends with their relationship now clearly defined. Spoiler Crosshairs for sure is not coming back to the squad. He's a "good soldier" and knows the Empire is the future but they cement that he's done with that squad. It's the writers way of saying he is the antagonist to the Bad Batch. Period.I still say he's going to die in the end, but he is officially placing that block between him and his mutant "brothers". I hope they explore what made Omega so special (since the Kaminoans are now officially out of the cloning business) next season. What's her mutation? Finale was ok. I saw it as more of cementing relationships from here on out and placing characters where they need to be in the larger picture than to close the season on a bang.

Well, at least Hunter is in the pipeline: Frankly, though, I think Hasbro should introduce a new sub-line for CGI-style figures, like the long-running Clone Wars line (or even the short-lived Resistance line). They could cover Rebels, Bad Batch, or even outstanding Clone Wars characters, as well as figures from the upcoming Tales of the Jedi series... and not have to super-articulate photo-realistic style figures to justify their inclusion in the (increasingly inappropriately-named) "Vintage Collection" line.

Hikuro Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 2 episodes out, much darker toned than Season 7 of CW or the 1st season of Bad Batch. Maybe it's just me as well but I've been noticing every season in particular getting better in terms of quality and style since the early days of the CW. I'm hoping for a really good dramatic and thrilling Season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I'm enjoying season 2. Although they are definitely compromised, emotionally, having Omega around. Which is most of the point. Their decision making ( or at least Hunter's) is too heavily influenced by concern for the kid. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to more!

Mog Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Just watched Season 2, Ep. 3. Damn, that’s more like it. Definitely one of the better episodes of Bad Batch and can stand alongside the better parts of Clone Wars and Rebels. Spoiler As much as he’s a loner, you can tell Crosshair wants to be part of a team again. Still want a clear explanation of WHEN exactly he removed the chip. But eps like these are good.

Mog Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 A theory (backed by solid observations) of when Crosshair likely got the implant removed: https://starwarsthoughts.com/2021/08/24/the-bad-batch-creators-confirm-that-crosshair-did-have-his-inhibitor-chip-removed-and-that-we-can-figure-out-when/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Ah yes... Spoiler They wanted Cody to be around in Obi-Wan but took that out during scripting. Guess that story point stuck around in other projects. Howser arrested. Wilco dead. Now Cody AWOL. I don't know if there will be this "Clone rebellion" the rumor mill keeps pumping. Otherwise, wouldn't that clone from Obi-Wan have been on the run instead of being a homeless bum? Or all the other clones out there won't have been able to continue wandering about.

Mog Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The Empire is probably gonna pull an Office Space Milton, wait for the Clones to age out, and just “close the loop” on the problem. The Empire’s probably just calling these isolated instances or calling those clones that act out “defective.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler You think 'removed because of script changes'. I think 'removed of $$$ issues in paying a toon more $$$ for a guest appearance on a lean budget. But that's just me. As for the clones? I CAN imagine the clones being ordered into formation (minus helms) on SDs Hangars and the like, given a pep talk (while the Hangar Crews get to safety), then someone hits the button marked 'Blow em out'... I really believe by the time of Rogue One and Eps 4, there are no clones on the Empire's official ToE. All because a few clones started to realize, 'the Empire's Coolaid isn't as good as The Republics Coolaid...' (I don't think the empire would wait for the clones to expire at their accelerated rates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Bad Batch is already showing how the Empire’s transitioning out the clones (replacing them with natural born conscripts, making clones train the new folks, and still utilizing them for enforcement). By the time of Rebels, the clones have already aged some. Even by the time of the Obi series (which I believe happens before Rebels), the clones are already aging out. For story purposes, it makes sense for the Empire to use them up and then just discard them like a used-up resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I enjoyed the newest episode, but.. Spoiler They had to go and do another speeder race.. but except it's called riot racing. Not Swoop bike racing (a la The Old Republic) or Pod Racing (TPM) . It's got to be another kind of the same. A bit recycled, but whatever. At least it was Tek who won the final race , rather than Omega, which is what i was expecting. And i did enjoy the droid Teo. He was delightfully annoying. Next episode should deal more with the main story, I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
