Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Animated Disney+ Series)

[matirocker]

YES! Fantastic first 3 episodes, wanted to keep watching! Looks like it's gonna be a fantastic final season. Bad Batch bringing their top game so far.

Nice to have it back, but the first episode was incredibly dull. Even three seasons in, I still really don't care about Omega & find her voice quite irritating.

The other two were very good though.

Pretty good episode this week. The highlight of the episode was

[Show spoiler]Omega/Crosshair reuniting with Hunter/Wrecker in the final season.

[matirocker]

A bit of a filler episode but with a little good character development, and yes, that final scene was the highlight.

The music at the end of this episode was phenomenal.

[Geoff D]

Loved that first episode.

[BudBaxter]

I can't believe they're bringing the space dog on missions... or that it gets a voice credit in the end titles.

Fun episode though.

Thankfully for the worm these guys didn’t show up:

Awesome double episode this week.

Though, top tip for Omega:

[Show spoiler]
if you're trying to hide from an enemy in the dark after setting off smoke grenades, maybe turn off your incredibly bright, glowing crossbow...

(this also applies to the clone trooper with the glowing eye bar on his helmet)

There's some farting in the fandom after the latest episode and hints that another animated series is afoot. This will apparently be a post-Bad Batch and pre-Obi-Wan and Rebels series that further explores The Dark Times and involves the remaining rebelled clones and Asajj Ventress fighting against Vader and the Inquisitors. I expect that this will be another "short-series" like Bad Batch and not a longer one like TCW or Rebels.

All caught up. Really enjoying the Crosshair stuff. Also loved the Fennec Shand episode she is one of my favorites.

[drb999]

Very good episode this week with

[Show spoiler]the return of Asajj Ventress

[ben6543]

I also enjoyed the return of

[Show spoiler] asajj ventress

that was awesome

[LeftHandedGuitarist]

That was indeed a strong episode! I've always enjoyed that character. An interesting reintroduction given that [CANON BOOK SPOILER]

[Show spoiler]she was given a very prominent death previously. No explanation was really necessary in the context of this episode, but I was certainly confused!

[drb999]

This week two episodes. Oh, no!

[Show spoiler]Omega was captured by the Empire! Noooo!

[XavierTheaterPotato]

Yeah, no Episode 11 physically hurt me.

Absolutely Amazing though, but I'm in pain after that

Show has been an Absolute A+ right from the beginning, and quite possibly my favorite of all the Star Wars shows, and this season hasn’t disappointed. I’ll be sad to see it end but I’m also fine with them telling the story they want to tell in the time they need. This isn’t something that needs to go on and on and on.

I really really hope that this will get released on disc. I’m a little concerned that at least season 1 wasn’t included in the last batch of Disney+ discs, but maybe that just means that they’re doing a complete series release (hopefully with Clone Wars season 7 alongside it).

[BudBaxter]

With only 4 episodes left, I really hope they get into the details of what Project Necromancer actually is & how it works. I mean, sure, it's probably something about cloning the Emperor, but just repeatedly taking a tiny blood sample from the test subjects for the rest of their (presumably short) lives doesn't seem very efficient...



(& yes, I realise how nerdy I sound asking about the science in a Star Wars TV show )

[LexInHD]

The going theory at the moment is that the stuff being worked on is a multitude of genetic enhancements for a future army of clone super-soldiers (Dark Trooper project) and simultaneous research into creating a genetically augmented body for Palpatine to use, given the revelations in recent Star Wars works, the live-action - Rey trilogy and The Mandalorian - and comic sources that reveal Palpatine's long-standing experiments in Force enhancement and transference. One of the potential things he's got cooking seems to be a method for harvesting and transferring the midi-chlorians from the bodies of dead Jedi and live Force-sensitive beings, hence Palpatine going after Force-capable children in Bad Batch and Rebels. That big corridor filled with captured Jedi held in stasis, shown in Obi-Wan, might be tied to it.

I seriously doubt we'll get the nuts & bolts of everything, that's for another show down the pike. Obviously it wasn't entirely successful because Palpatine is a shambles in Rise of Skywalker.

The heart of the show is the Batch themselves, so it's going to have to wrap up their story, including Omega and what she means to everything.
