The Bad Batch Episode 11 Breakdown | Season 1 Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

The Bad Batch Episode 11 was decent, however for only having so few episodes left, I'm excited to follow the story of the Bad Batch whereas tonight's episode felt more like following Hera and her parents around. It was nice seeing them and Omega meeting Hera, but I'd really like to focus on the bad batch's point of view of things going forwards. Regardless, it was a nice episode.

The Bad Batch Episode 10 Breakdown | Season 1 Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

The 10th episode of The Bad Batch showed us the commonalities between Separatists from The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch as they were sent to Raxus to save the senator. Meanwhile, Omega portrays her advanced strategic abilities in a game of Dejarik with Cid. Now that the debt is paid off, The Bad Batch can finally leave Pantora and Cid's cantina.

I believe they could now search for Boba Fett as he is the only Jango Fett clone just like Omega (unaltered).

My Thoughts on Omega Being Boba Fett's Sister... Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

In the Bad Batch episode 9 we finally learn that Omega is Boba Fett's twin sister. A direct clone of Jango Fett. Her only mutation as per the 5 mutated clones in the show, is that she was born as a female. I believe she has other abilities as well, which I assume we'll learn about soon enough.

Everything You Need to Know About Cad Bane Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

With Cad Bane in The Bad Batch Episode 8's reveal, I was not expecting his return at all! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Cad Bane's character in The Clone Wars is one that was supposed to end with a big duel with Boba Fett. That arc was never released despite being recorded. Could we get the long awaited battle in The Bad Batch? I'd love to see Boba Fett dawn the green Jango Fett armor and take on the notorious Bane.

Bane against an enhanced clone like Hunter proved to us how skilled he is, but to see him against Jango's creation, Boba, will be a sight to be seen for sure.

Here are 10 interesting facts about Cad Bane!

The Bad Batch Episode 8 Breakdown BEST EPISODE YET | Season 1 Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

This episode was absolutely amazing. Cad Bane's return was something I didn't think I'd see so soon in the Bad Batch, if at all this season. It seems like the Bad Batch is really speeding up episodes, where last week we saw Rex return on Bracca as Wrecker executed Order 66, and this week we get the return of Cad Bane. Does this mean we could get the never before seen Boba Fett vs Cad Bane? That's how Boba got his dent in his helmet, from Cad Bane, so it would be pretty cool to see this happen...hopefully though, they keep Cad Bane alive for live action in The Mandalorian, that would be cool to see him, but it wouldn't align with the story (unless they change it).

Crosshair was a big one in this episode, as well. Now that he's injured, will he be able to snipe? Will the Empire toss him away because of his inability to perform? Could this be the start of the Kamino uprising against the Kaminoans? Could Crosshair lead a rebellion with his Clone Trooper brothers?

Hunter got bested by Cad Bane, that standoff was beautiful. It goes to show that even up against an enhanced clone, we see Cad Bane is still superior.

This show is becoming even more intense and epic than I thought, with the incorporation of all these Clone Wars characters, it makes me more and more excited for each consecutive episode.

This also means that the Kaminoans have hired bounty hunters like Fennec Shand and Cad Bane to retrieve Omega for their Phase 3 Clone Trooper in order to keep their business with the empire. I wonder if they'll give Omega the Grogu treatment like Moff Gideon wanted to do in The Mandalorian...you know...until Luke Skywalker showed up to fight the Dark Troopers and save the day.

The Bad Batch Episode 7 Breakdown HOLY CRAP!!! | Season 1 Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

the Bad Batch episode 7 was AMAZING!!! This one felt like old Clone Wars with a better animation style. I loved Rex returning, it was such a nice touch.

Seeing Wrecker go through Order 66 was terrifying, and showed us he is the most lethal Clone Trooper and member of The Bad Batch.

Seeing Bracca was interesting, as this could lead into some tie in for Cal Kestis from Jedi Fallen Order. I think the Scrap yard guild will notify the empire which will lead to Crosshair hunting the Bad Batch down, possibly with Vader coming in the picture at the end (I think that would be epic).

The boys also know how to deactivate Order 66 now that Rex has taught him, so maybe they'll go after Crosshair to save him.

The Bad Batch Episode 6 BREAKDOWN Who Was That! | Season 1 Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

The Bad Batch Episode 6 is here and it came with some unexpected guests and happenings. I feel like Wrecker will eventually turn completely to the mercy of the inhibitor chip, falling in line with Order 66 protocols and joining the other Clone Troopers, possibly joining forces with Crosshair and the Empire. This is what could lead Hunter, Echo, Tech and Omega to find Rex and ask him how to save their brothers. This could be awesome because we'll finally, maybe, see just how Gregor and Wolffe got their inhibitor chips removed too, as we saw in Rebels after The Clone Wars.

Do you think we'll see the struggle between Anakin Skywalker as he is turning more and more into Darth Vader by the day? I hope we'll see a glimpse of him, or at least come to know of him soon in the show. Mind you, the galaxy doesn't know of Vader, yet, as per the comics.

I wonder when we'll see the transition between Clones and Storm Troopers, if at all this season.

Let me know what you thought of the Martez sisters and how they will play into the show going forward (I think they'll have a more recurring role from the looks of it).

The Bad Batch Episode 5 Breakdown and All Easter Eggs | Season 1 Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

The Bad Batch Episode 5 is here, so let's break it down. We learned of a new Jedi accomplice named Sid from before Order 66. We met the Rancor that Luke Skywalker fights in Return of the Jedi. We saw some easter eggs of Boba Fett's/Mandalorian helmet/Clone Trooper helmets in Sid's office. We witnessed another display of Omega using what I think is the force (when she knew who Sid was).

This episode was fun, but I'm looking forward to the show picking up hopefully in the next episode.

Where Vader is During The Bad Batch in Canon Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

In The Bad Batch, we follow the mutated Clone Troopers through their voyage into Order 66 and the galaxy's transition from the Republic to the Galactic Empire. The show primarily focuses on Hunter, Tech, Echo, Wrecker, Omega, and Crosshair...but what about Vader during this time period? Where is he in the timeline? What is he doing, in canon, of course?

Here is my answer to the best of my ability.

Hope you enjoy this one, and may the force be with you!!
