re: The Bad Batch Official Season One Discussion Thread

Yes. The Bad Batch is in the first few episodes of Season 7.

If I was 12 I’d love this shite

SPOILERS













Kind of sucks that Crosshair turned against them. Any chance they take his chip out and he rejoins them at some point?

Damn I missed this animation style after putting up with Rebels. It’s so damn perfect. I wish Rebels had kept it.

I did not expect to open seeing a young Kanan. That was a nice Rebels nod and sad.

Looks like Order 66 pretty much wiped out much of the individual clone minds and turned them into order following drones. And yup. Palps thought cheaping out with recruited Storm Troopers was more cost effective. How’d that turn out for them? Not well. Clones likely demolish the rebel resistance.

Looks like Crosshair isn’t as “bad batch” as originally thought. Looks to be a little too obedient to orders like normal clones. And yep. His flaws didn’t totally wipe out the inhibitor chip and dbag Tarkin ramps it up. Bummer having him turned into a lapdog to hunt down the rest of the BB.

Interesting that the Kaminoan Doc helped them. I thought the scientists were always pretty emotionless.

J19? Know a guy... hmm.

So what’s the deal with Omega? Just a mutation to get a female or was there some additional frickery going on?

. I’d be down with a sexy female Bobba. Love me some Frankie Adams. Fine as hell and a believable badass.

Is Omega going to grow like a normal clone (accelerated growth?) or more like Boba and grow slowly?


I’m kind of hoping fast so we can see the abilities and see her become a badass. My guess is she will stay a kid since the show is still aimed for kids

I didn’t mean to insult the show I enjoyed it I just meant if I was 12 I’d probably think this was THE best show on tv. Cool show will definitely watch again next week

My experience with Clone Wars is that it is not a very kid-focused show, but is still just tame enough that you don't feel bad letting your kids watch it.

Omega’s growth cycle hasn’t been stated. The way they word it like she is like the other Bad Batch members makes if feel like she would have been made at a similar time, which would mean she doesnt have accelerated growth.

If she did have accelerated growth, she was created about 2 years before the war began, assuming she is aged like a 10 year old.

J19 is I think where there was a clone that had deserted to go raise a family. I thought that was Rex that knew about him though and not the Bad Batch (though I guess there's no reason they couldn't also know).

As far as Omega- at first I thought she was some kind of psychic/force sensitive due to how she was acting around Hunter, but after she picked up the gun and fired at crosshair, I'm wondering if it's not some kind of enhanced learning programming where she picks things up by seeing/mimicking. Either that or they genetically programmed her to pick up the best traits of the original four Bad Batch to Voltron them in to one prototype soldier.

Waiting for Ep 2 to see if they show her watching Tech and then doing some kind of slicing or piloting or displaying mechanical aptitude, and/or if she'll hulk out like Wrecker.

Man what if this is Filoni trying to retcon why Rey is such a crazy Mary Sue by saying 'oh, look. the Kaminoans made a female Palpatine and they programmed her like the Bad Batch to be able to pick up those things quickly and she's Rey's mom'.

Did they ever address what happened to Space Rambo's face?
