In the new Star Wars Tales of the Jedi trailer from D23 alongside The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer and the Andor trailer, we got to see a ton of new scenes from the show. One scene in particular was the moment where Yaddle was in The Works and was fighting Jedi Master Dooku, who was still wielding his blue lightsaber at this time. I believe Dooku will kill Yaddle, and that will be the reason she is no longer in the prequel trilogy, alongside Yoda. I believe Dooku will hide her true reason for defeat, and he will have to eventually leave the Jedi Order as we all know. I think this show will be one of the best new shows Star Wars has to offer us and I am very excited for it. I hope we see a ton of new character growth and development with Ahsoka while she trains with Anakin Skywalker, as well as her journey beyond Revenge of the Sith (after clone wars season 7 with Darth Maul). I also can't wait to see more of young Qui-Gon Jinn! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Coming from the makers of The Bad Batch and The Clone Wars Season 7, this show will encompass two characters primarily, Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku in different pivotal moments of their life. We'll also see more of Yoda, Yaddle, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn and Ahsoka's continuance after Revenge of the Sith as she fights a new inquisitor and purifies his kyber crystals to make her own white blades.

so a lot of speculation during the live stream took place and many were saying they believed it’s a survivor from order 66. Now while some media outlets have stated this as factual, it hasn’t been confirmed by Lucasfilm. So this leads me to wander off into my own theory, which is the whole point of the channel. First of all, what do we know about this guy, nothing but we can see he is wearing some old republic high republic type of armor. We also see his lightsaber emitter has a bit of a sword design to it, like a knight. He looks like Valkorion from the old republic, the old powerful sith emperor, however, I don’t think that’s who he is, despite his appearance resembling him. He has a padawan, named Shin, she has a jedi braid, if you look closely you might see it. Ray Stevenson in an interview with comicbook dot com said that Baylan is a man who will get to his destination no matter what, that he has a quest, and at first he’ll ask you to step aside, and if you don’t, he will make you because there’s something far greater than him. And by that I think he means Thrawn. So this is a force user who has obviously some intellect, and isn’t some power hungry maniac who will just move anyone in his way. He’ll first try to reason and use his brain, which tells me he’s probably really powerful. Ray Stevenson also said that Baylan has been thrown into the mix as a catalyst and when you put him in there, a massive reaction will happen. When we first see Baylan he appears to be in the world between worlds. I believe this because of the background which looks just like it did in rebels when ezra and ahsoka were in there, however, this could also be just a place that’s encompassing them in a hologram of a star system that leads to perhaps the world between worlds or elsewhere. However, I truly think, with the flooring included, this is the WBW. I think as Ahsoka was passing by different doors to different realms, including Anakin’s with Obi-Wan on Mustafar, we get one of two possible theories. One, she finds this door and walks into it, and they end up having disagreements, fight, and he escapes through the portal with her, ending up in current times. Thrawn finds him, and recruits him. The other possibility, and this is far fetched, but what if the leaks are true? What if the leaks of Ahsoka fighting Anakin or talking to Anakin on Mustafar instead of Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith actually happens, and Anakin doesn’t end up cut up and burnt? What if this character, is actually an aged Anakin, because at this point in the timeline, 7 years after return of the Jedi, Vader would be 54 years old, and Baylan looks to be 54. It’s a wild wacko theory, but it would be kind of cool to see what a full powered full potential anakin skywalker would be like. This could also be a being from the high republic, and i don’t say old republic because that’s just too many thousands of years ago. I think in Jedi Survivor the antagonist is a jedi from the high republic who has been frozen in time that Cal Kestis helped escape, probably out of the goodness of his heart, or because he knew the Jedi could be saved after finding him or seeking him out. So like in this one, perhaps this is a Jedi from the high republic that is loyal to Thrawn. This could be why his lightsaber is orange, which indicates a split between light and dark. The final theory is that he’s just a survivor or order 66 with his padawan, Shin, who has a padawan braid. She is using the same old tech that Obi-Wan used during the prequel trilogy when she’s flying, so these two could just be survivors of order 66 that were saved by Thrawn and are loyal to him. They made their blades bleed and because they have Jedi traits, it bleeds orange, not blood red like a true Sith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In an interview with ScreenRant, Dave Filoni explains the orange lightsabers in Ahsoka that Baylan and Shin have. Why is it orange? Mace Windu had a purple one which was the balance between blue and red, light and dark. Could this be the balance between light and dark as well, except teetering more onto the dark side? I like these legends colours coming into canon film again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here is my BIG Ahsoka trailer breakdown. There is a TON to talk about from this little trailer so let's get right to it! The main thing I want to discuss is the orange lightsaber dude who I believe is from the era of the prequels. A possible survivor of Order 66. My other theory is that he is from another time, and Ahsoka has brought him back through the world between worlds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rosario Dawson has gone on to say Dave Filoni saw an edited version of the Ahsoka show and said it was a 'religious experience'. This is nice to hear from Dave, as I trust his remarks about Star Wars, let alone his own product, the Ashoka show. I think maybe he saw a part with Anakin Skywalker either flashback with Ahsoka during the Clone Wars, or visiting her as a force ghost...maybe even with Luke! Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to another Fantasy Battles episode, where we dissect the fighting and lightsaber abilities of characters in Star Wars, then pit them against one another. Luke fighting Ahsoka in the Mandalorian Season 3 timeline would be fairly difficult of a battle. Recently, Dave Filoni has mentioned how he thinks Ahsoka Tano is Luke Skywalker's superior in lightsaber combat (and maybe more), so today let's really break this down in regards to force powers, overall power, lightsaber fighting styles, fighting psychology of each character, and overall potential.

In this rare 10-15 year old video of Rian Johnson, he explains the type of movies he strives to make - and that is the type that has some people loving it while other's saying 'this is the worst movie i've ever seen.' I don't really like that kind of thought pattern when it comes to something as important and sensitive as Star Wars...and in our case...in the Last Jedi with Luke Skywalker, Kylo, Snoke, and Rey...

in the bad batch finale, tech fell to this death after sacrificing himself for his brothers and omega. Mentioning plan 99, Plan 99 is in reference to clone 99 from the clone wars. Clone 99 was a defective so called clone trooper with physical abnormalities compared to his brothers. He worked as a maintenance worker at the clone trooper barracks on Kamino. Despite his physical limitations, he was fiercely loyal to the clone troopers and often helped them in any way he could. Clone 99 died in the episode "The Clone Wars: Season 3, Episode 1 - Clone Cadets" while defending the clone cadets from an attack by Separatist commando droids. He sacrificed his life to help the cadets escape and transmit a distress signal, warning the Republic of the impending attack. Clone 99's bravery and sacrifice inspired the clone cadets to fight harder and succeed in their mission. So plan 99 here as Tech says, is him sacrificing himself for his team. Wrecker tells him not to do it, and tech questions when have they ever followed orders, shooting the wire and falling to his doom along with the tram pulling the others down. As the tram gets back on its tracks, they go speeding into the building and out the other end as Tech falls into the clouds with the rest of the tram cart. Now, here’s why I don’t think Tech is dead. There are actually many reasons supporting his survival. First off, his mutation was intelligence, meaning if anyone could calculate a way out of that situation, it’s him. The second was, he had thrusters on his back pack, meaning even if they didn’t act as a full on jet pack like jango or baba fett’s, he would have been able to slow his descent before hitting the ground and safely land. The third theory is that he fell into water, which would have a better chance of survival with his armor than if he landed on ground. The final theory is that Hemlock was using the clones for his experiments, and the bad batch were the more unique and special clones of all given their mutations and powers, he would have done everything he could to make sure he collected tech before he hit the ground, or to revive him and heal him back to health so he can run tests on him. I think in the third season, we could see the empire running tests and experiments on Tech, and this would likely be used as some sort of major mid season cliff hanger or something, as we all thought he’s dead. The fifth and final theory that tech is alive, is that Rex went to save him, somehow Rex went to iriadu just after the bad batch got out, and ended up finding Tech and saving him, only to show up later with him in season 3 to save the day. The main theory I cling on to here is that Hemlock recovered Tech’s glasses, meaning he probably found the body and took him to the lab. I think he had a ship ready to catch him because of how valuable tech is as an asset. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tech climbs up the tram into the sky and tries to reboot the terminal. Tarkin sends ships out to shoot them, including his own storm trooper men, so long as they wipe out the bad batch. Hunter makes a precise shot at one of the ships and we see he’s got a bit of his brother crosshair in him too. Hunter was always a second best at shooting I think compared to crosshair. I believe he got some of the mutuation as well. Tech reboots the tram, but falls off the ledge, hanging on the wire after the ships shot all the trams off their tracks. Tech says the connection must be cut as he’s pulling them down. He says there’s no time as Wrecker says no, and he says time for plan 99. Plan 99 is in reference to clone 99 from the clone wars. Clone 99 was a defective so called clone trooper with physical abnormalities compared to his brothers. He worked as a maintenance worker at the clone trooper barracks on Kamino. Despite his physical limitations, he was fiercely loyal to the clone troopers and often helped them in any way he could. Clone 99 died in the episode "The Clone Wars: Season 3, Episode 1 - Clone Cadets" while defending the clone cadets from an attack by Separatist commando droids.

Wrecker tells him not to do it, and tech questions when have they ever followed orders, shooting the wire and falling to his doom along with the tram pulling the others down. As the tram gets back on its tracks, they go speeding into the building and out the other end. As Omega is badly injured, hunter wrecker and echo enter a first person mode as they run to the ship, shooting blasts all around. It was like a video game, it was awesome. Omega wakes up at ord mantell, Sid’s bar to get AZ the medical droid, as she comes to terms with the loss of Tech. Hunter tells her it’s time to stop being soldiers, and ot just live a new life on Pabu. Seems weird to me since they still didn’t save Crosshair but maybe they plan to save him later once they’re on Pabu. Sid gives a drink to Wrecker, as she’s nervous, and we find out the Empire is in the sky, sending out transports to drop hemlock and clone commandos. Echo tries to reach them, but the empire jammed their comms. Sid reveals she turned them in, as clone commandos come in and stun wrecker, to no affect due to his mutation, until a few more blasts do the job. Hunter goes out to help his brother, as Omega disobeys his direct order to leave. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

as we enter the cantina, Omega and Phee are making a deal with some masked sellers over a porcellain looking sculpture. When the deal goes bad and phee gets threatened with a kuhaan, which is the same slug like poisonous insect we saw zam wessell send to padme’s room in attack of the clones, Hunter throws his knife and saves her. A big brawl breaks out with the bad batch against the masked scammers. They fire up the ship and get out of there. Phee says that Omega needs to be a kid and hang out with other normal kids, as the crew get a transmission from Cid. She says it’s been 20 days without them working for her, and she threatens them by essentially saying she knows everything about them and that she’ll reveal them to the empire or other bounty hunters…like boba fett for example who she could hire to get the bad batch. They head to space hawaii Pabu, where they pretty much just have a nice time, eating and socializing, The mayor of pabu offers them a place to live and start a new life. We get space sushi and some other types of foods and fruits. Omega makes a new friend and they sail off into the ocean, the sunset reminding me of maui. As things are seeming really calm and relaxing, a tsunami hits and the bad batch work with the mayor to save as many people as they can. No lives were lost, and they ask the mayor if they can stay on the planet for a while. The episode may not have had any action or much going on, but there are a few very important and life changing things for the bad batch The first being they grew some…well..you know and told Cid off. The second is, they now have a place to hand their hat. They have an HQ if things go bad, a place where people won’t try to turn them into the empire or be looking for them like every major city. These people just want to live in peace and I think going forwards the bad batch will just hang out here for a bit…until…Crosshair is either in need of their help and they get wind of it, or, Crosshair is reprogrammed using the mind flayer machine and he comes looking for them with the help of Cid ousting them. Either way, it’s not going to be good for them. I think Omega will eventually be brought in to Mount Tantiss where all the experiments are being done, and she’ll see Crosshair as well. I think there will be a point where Omega perhaps stops seeing all the good in people once she trusts the wrong person for the last time and it gets her brothers in trouble. and she threatens them by essentially saying she knows everything about them and that she’ll reveal them to the empire or other bounty hunters…like boba fett for example who she could hire to get the bad batch. They head to space hawaii Pabu, where they pretty much just have a nice time, eating and socializing, The mayor of pabu offers them a place to live and start a new life.

They land on Barton 4 and head to the base where we see droids moving cargo and only 3 clones left. He says they waited 36 days for him to come in and help, and there’s a ton of attitude from Nolan. The guy is so rude and callous. The clone commander says his boys all died here, and i tihnk it’s from the harsh conditions without proper care and aid from the empire. They know nothing about what’s in the cargo, which tells me that for the year they’ve been at this outpost, they aren’t trusted or told anything. The treatment from the empire is horrible. there’s a heist going on against the empire and crosshair tracks one of them down with Mayday. They enter a cavern that was dug to sneak past their defences. Two more clones pass away and Mayday pays his respects. As Nolan walks in and berrates them for just standing around. In these super harsh conditions and lack of empathy or care, making the odds all the more against them. They both navigate through the tunnel and make small talk, as crosshair steps on a land mine and Mayday answer his question about what clone force he’s from, and when asked what happened ot 99…Crosshair tells Mayday they’re all dead. We see the hesitation in crosshair’s voice as we can tell he’s sad or something is going on in his head. I believe this is the episode of Crosshair’s redemption arc. They come across the thieves and take em out together, making a fantastic team. I really think Crosshair will turn back to join his brothers only to have someone sacrifice himself for him. they find some plastoid armor from the storm troopers, and see how much nicer quality and shape it is, proving that the empire uses the cheapest armor and equipment for them, but gives the best to their new stormtroopers. As they fall under an avalanche, Crosshair pulls Mayday out of it, and i gotta say from this scene on the animation just took a different leap. It looked like something from Toy Story but even better with how fluid it was. Crosshair pull Mayday out of the snow as he’s unconscious and gives him his helmet to help keep him warm and to help him breathe. As we know trooper helmets can survive in many harsh circumstances, weathers and toxic gases. Crosshair carries Mayday back to the base as they finally get to the lt Nolan and collapse. Nolan just stands there and denies them a medic, saying they failed their mission, it would be a waste of the empire’s resources to help them. This guy is so horrible. As Mayday dies on the scene, Crosshair is on his knees, exhausted, as he’s ordered to get back to work from this Nolan guy, tell him clones are expendable, which is what the clones said to plo koon, where he told them, not to me. The clones were raised to think they were to just follow orders, in which they were of course, but they had to practice immensely and be trained. As Crosshair sees the bird from above, we know it’s a space vulture, but it sounds like Morai the light side embodiment of the dark side from star wars clone wars who transferred her energy into Ahsoka to save her. I think whenever she pops up, it’s to instill the light in others, and funny enough this was the moment Crosshair cracked. When he saw how free the bird was. Morai i think comes in diferent ways, and I believe this could have been one of them, as little sense as it makes for it to show up for crosshair. but perhaps there’s something bigger at place…what qui gon would call fate or destiny or the will of the force. Crosshair feels the rage and shoots the lt point blank and then collapses. Only to be woken up on what I think is mount tantiss by a female clone doctor running tests on him, as they wait for the doctor. This of course is the same doctor as the last episode, who specializes in Cloning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Doctor Hemlock arrives and i think he’s like the original dr pershing who looked after baby yoda in the mandalorian. He’s probably the head doctor of cloning or experiments for the empire now. He speaks to imprisoned Mistress Se, aka Nala Se who looked after Omega on Kamino. He asks her if she wants to be part of such a scientific achievement of all there work here. I think she’s there to hopefully help them in the life support and medical health of their cloned monsters and experiments. They go to the crashed ship, transport 904 which is near a village on a planet. As they enter, they find the electrostaff from the clone commando, and they realize something bad happened here, and whatever it was, wasn’t human. We get a super dark horror scene vibe from this episode and it’s really fun to see. The ineterior of the ship has a full on cloning lab in it. Omega recognizes the equipment as Kaminoan, but she doesn’t recognize any of the electronics as it’s different from the ones used on Kamino. They finally come across the beast and try to shoot it when it runs away to charge up by eating electricity. They eventually shoot an opening out of the ship and the Zillo beast escapes to the village, Tech and Omega head to the lab inside the ship to find out what the creature is. As Wrecker and Hunter head to the ship to try and stop the beast. feeding on another electrical station, the beast grows massively as he transforms into the zillo beast just like we saw on Coruscant. The Zillo Beast is incredibly powerful and nearly invulnerable, with a thick, armored hide that is impervious to blaster fire. The Republic forces eventually manage to subdue the beast and bring it back to Coruscant for study. However, they soon discover that the Zillo Beast is highly intelligent and possesses a level of consciousness that rivals that of many sentient beings. Palpatine sees an opportunity to use the Zillo Beast's powerful hide for his own purposes and orders its destruction. This leads to a confrontation between the beast and the Jedi, who are conflicted about the ethics of killing such a unique and powerful creature. In the end, the Zillo Beast is killed by a toxic gas, but not before it unleashes its wrath on the city and nearly kills Palpatine himself. The incident raises questions about the morality of using living beings as tools and foreshadows the dark turn that Palpatine's rule will take in the future. The cloned Zillo Beast is now fully grown and impossible for the bad batch to stop, which is when the Empire shows up out of hyperspace in super star destroyers, as gun ships with clone commandos in them fly out. Taking out the Zillo Beast clone as they scoop him up. The Empire arrests all the citizens of the village as no one can know what the Empire is doing with their evil cloning projects. Remember Andor? The Empire wants to keep everyone quiet if something gets leaked, and if not, they want to keep a facade like they’re up to nothing nefarious or questionable. The Bad Batch get out of there and blast off into hyperspace, as we see Clone Commandos harness the zillo beast clone in a tube of gooey water. The crew discover that palpatine had ordered to clone the zillo beast back when he was just the chcanellor and not the emperor. Tech deduces that the empire didn’t destroy Tipoca city on Kamino to destroy the cloning facilities, but merely to control them without anyone the wiser. Hunter tells Tech to send this intel to Rex and Echo. Doctor Hemlock speaks with former prime minister lama su, as he complains that Nala Se, his chief scientists, isn’t cooperating. Lama Su gives up information on how to command Nala Se to doing what he wants, which is working as the scientist for all the empire’s nefarious cloning experiments. Lama Su tells him to capture Omega who is the key to controlling Nala Se. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cid's backstory is not extensively explored in the show, but it is hinted at through her interactions with the Bad Batch and other characters. From what we do know, it seems that Cid has a long and complicated history in the criminal underworld of the Star Wars galaxy. It's suggested that Cid has been involved in the criminal underworld for a long time, and that she has built up a vast network of contacts and associates over the years. She is shown to be a savvy businesswoman, and she is always looking for new opportunities to expand her reach and influence. Despite her reputation as a tough and sometimes ruthless operator, Cid has also shown a softer side at times. She is fiercely loyal to those who have earned her trust, and she has been known to help out those in need, even if it means putting herself at risk. In her interactions with the Bad Batch, Cid is initially portrayed as a reluctant ally, wary of getting involved in their dangerous missions. However, over time, she grows to respect and even care for the members of the team, and she becomes a key source of support and guidance for them. Overall, Cid's backstory is one of a shrewd and resourceful operator who has survived in the dangerous world of the Star Wars criminal underworld through a combination of street smarts, business acumen, and fierce loyalty to those she trusts. in the bad batch episode 9 the crew were stranded on the planet when their ship, the marauder was stolen from them during the mission. When they called Cid for help, she refused to help them, and then said she will figure something out in a few days. Wrecker mentions they don’t have enough rations to last that long on this planet, and she hangs up. So now we see what the big guy in the pod race style episode was saying about her, was true. That she will betray them and she can’t be trusted. I don’t care what the situation is, she could have communicated better than just telling the bad batch that being stranded is their problem, not hers. I don’t like Cid. I think she’s the one who had their ship stolen and now that they ask her for help, like she’s done many times with them, she won’t help them, and if she does, they’ll never hear the end of it. I think Cid is in debt with the empire, if you remember, she mentioned that one day the empire will shut her bar down, and when they do, no more jobs for the bad batch. I think was using the clones for her own gain, and giving them the bare minimum. She told them they owe her for docking fees, costs of supplies and all the cartons of mantell mix they eat. Cid has shown a willingness to work with both sides of the law. While she has helped the Bad Batch in the past, she may have her own motivations and goals that could come into conflict with their objectives. Learn more about your ad choices.

As they land on a deserted looking planet, they were sent here on a mission from Sid to extract some ipsium from her mine. While they are doing so, their ship gets stolen by what seems to be a human judging by the fair skin and neck visible under the helmet. Many in chat thought it could be Hondo, but I think it’s a human, and i think it was a hired job by Cid. I think Cid set them up but more on that another time. As they figure out what their next move will be, they realize they’re stranded on the planet, and figure their only move is to work their way to the nearest town, 40 clicks south of their current location. So, they start moving. The team looks much more lop sided without Echo, I have to say, it just doesn’t feel balanced. As they walk through a valley of rock cliffs, we get a scene from the lion king where a stampede comes running through and they reach up a rock limb above. As the stampede clears, the dark storm approaches faster and faster as the crew realize what was scaring the animals. They run fast into a cave opening as the ipsium slips and explodes onto the side of the mountain, trapping them in. Ipsium in its raw state is super explosive. Stuck inside, Omega argue about the ship being found again, where the crew tell her it’s just a ship and they can replace it. Omega has a melt down and is sad about how they lost echo and now their home, the marauder. Tech asks here what is her issue, and she gets sad and walks away into a part of the cave where she finds some super concentrated form of ipsium which Sid wanted. As she begins to harvest it, she notices the entire part of the wall is entwined with it, as it’s highly explosive, she is careful to extract it. Tech is told by Hunter and Wrecker to go and make ammends with her, so he does and this is a nice developmental scene for him as he doesn’t treat the situation so technically and without emotion, but rather becomes more human. They work together to extract as much Ipsium as possible, filling all their viles, when Omega reaches too far off a ledge and falls deep into the abyss, as Tech, without hesitation jumps after her. They fall into a large body of water that is running down stream. Tech saves her from the current and they both make it to shore. As Hunter and Wrecker try to meet them, it gives us good time for Tech and Omega to talk. Omega is upset that everything is changing ,and Tech informs her that change is a part of life. He says he have to adapt and move on, that is what soldiers do. She says that we’re more than that, we’re family. He says yes, yes we are. He has a moment and stares off. I think he’s finally becoming more human, and is realizing that he can’t answer everything so technically and without human emotion. He’s very much like a computer. He says he processes moments and thoughts differently, but it doesn’t mean i feel things any less than you. They use the ipsium to blast their way out of the mountain and make their way to the deserted town’s airway station. Tech makes the shot and he does this over Wrecker’s questioning of why he can’t do it, where Tech responds by saying the shot must be precise otherwise they’ll be caved in again. So we also know that Wrecker is either a bad shot, or Tech is the closest thing to crosshair. Hunter didn’t take the shot, and neither did Omega. So I think when it comes to calculating and precision shots, Tech could be leading the race there. They call Sid and ask for her to pick them up. She says no, not her problem. She huffs and puffs and says ok give me a few days to figure it out, and they say they don’t have enough food to last them, as she hangs up on them. Cid is garbage, just as her nemesis in the pod racing episode told them, she’ll betray them eventually. And I think she did twice in this episode. I think she sent a thief there to grab the marauder and steal it from them, and then again by denying them a ride when they’re stranded with a massive storm coming. Learn more about your ad choices.

In The Bad Batch Season 2 Episode 7 we meet a assassin clone trooper with no ID or markings that Captain Rex can figure out. Who is this guy? I think I know.... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two really fun episodes! I enjoyed these ones particularly because of the senate dealings which really dived into the transition of the stormtrooper army from the clones. I love how we got Rex and Palpatine returning in these. We enter the senate and Rampart and Chuchi go head to head. She makes a massive claim that he was responsible for diverting Kaminoan funding outside of cloning without senate approval. The crowd makes noise as Rampart tries to move on from the question as she grills him. She then goes for it and accuses him of destroying Tipoca City himself. She’s voted out of the senate for such a claim until the boys hand Omega the files, who hands it to Bail, who hands it to Senator Chuchi. They play the recording for all to see, and it’s the Venators destroying Tipoca City. The jig is up, and I couldn’t believe they actually showed this, I thought it’d be all over for the empire, until the floor opens up just as it did when yoda fought palpatine, and we see Palpatine in his pod, rising, Mas Amedda next to him. Ian McDiarmid voicing Palptine as he should, brilliantly twists the scenario into his favour. They arrest Rampart, and blame him for being rogue. He thanks Chuchi for exposing a rogue element in the empire’s ranks. Palpatine says he’ll be punished, however, he didn’t act alone. He blames the clones, too, and asks the senate if they really trust such a callous maneuver by such beings. He believes this legislation is their future, and that the imperial storm troopers will protect everyone from such things ever happening again. Brilliantly he had a backup plan should he be exposed, and the twisted everything to his advantage. The fate of all clones are now doomed from this. Either way, they were doomed.

In the Bad Batch, I believe we all want to see Crosshair return to the light side and join his brothers...however with his inhibitor Chip no longer there, phasing out any brainwashing from Order 66 against the Jedi, I believe Crosshair's redemption will have to come at the cost of one of his brothers...or...his own life.

Gungi summons his green lightsaber with the force and deflects the blasts from the droids, and they get out of there with their ship. They talk to Gungi on the ship and decide to take him to his people, the Wookies from the planet Kashyyyk. The concern is if the Empire has taken over the planet, which they have. As they approach the planet, Hunter announces that the planet is releasing a lot of smoke, meaning the empire has definitely arrived and blown the place up. Now for those who remember, Kashyyyk has a long history, it’s a jungle planet, very nature oriented and natural. Gungi’s saber hilt is wooden. The planet is like Jumanji basically. Now Gungi has no memory of Kashyyy as younglings are taken to be Jedi at infantile stages of their life. We got to experience Kashyyyk in fallen order, but before that in the game force unleashed, where we star the game off playing as Vader as he fights the Wookies and then meets baby Galen Marek. As they walk through the forest, Gungi and the batch meet some giant spiders which are like the ones we fight in the KOTOR game, as he uses either beast control like anakin did agasint the reek in episode 2 in the genosian arena, or just communicated with it by not being violent, causing them to step aside for safe passage. They find a wookie being held hostage as Trandoshans ride imperial tanks from the clone wars and put the surrounding trees on fire. So it’s evident the empire wanted Kashyyyk and they decided who better to work with than the trandoshans who passionately hate the fur balls. Gungi saves the day by igniting his lightsaber and it’s a fun scene much like the clone wars. Much destruction has become of beautiful Kashyyyk. Trandoshans have enslaved Wookies forever, and they two races absolutely hate each other. Bossk and Black Krrsantan have fought each other close to death many times, and it was something I was hoping to see in the book of boba fett show. Maybe one day… They are met by some Wookie tribesmen and taken to the Elder of the village, who accomodates them with food and drink. As Trandoshans and Clonetroopers of the Empire come across the saber slash marks from Gungi’s lightsaber, they vow to kill the Jedi, and are now coming for him and the Bad Batch. Tech and the Elder discover this convoy headed their way, when the Bad Batch decide to stay and fight, as the Wookies have been a massive ally to the republic during the war, and helped fight alongside them. They speak to the trees spiritually and get ready for war. A massive epic battle ensues and Gungi proves his worth as a Jedi as he goes up against the leader Trandoshan, who gets picked apart by the spiders, caught in their web and lifted up into the trees to be probably eaten. Now i will mention that Trandoshans use fire to obviously burn trees and the forest, but also this reminded me of how Boba beat Chewbacca in a fight once in the canon comics by putting his fur on fire. Wookies are notoriously physically powerful creatures, and so are Trandoshans. On another note, for Wrecker to knock out a trandoshan in one hit, really proves his strength. They don’t go down easy. Hunter says they’re both just kids but they don’t get to be in this galaxy, which is true, and sad because neither of them got the enjoy their youth. Omega with being locked up on Kamino as a science experiment, and then with Gungi running for his life from Order 66, the two have had to grow up really fast and it’ll make them quite formidable characters when they are fully grown. The Elder speaks the native language of Kashyyyk, Shyriiwook, and says when a young one leaves, the trees weep, and when they return, the trees sing. So the trees on Kashyyyk have been known to be sentient and to speak to the Wookies, and vice versa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

the heart of the mountain is said to be an ancient cyrstal which is the key to an ancient power. Many in the chat thought of a Kyber crystal, but we need to remember this is before the Jedi, unless kybers had another use equally as valuable. Perhaps just as worship, who knows. Now of course it didn’t turn out to be a kyber in the end. They make their way through the boobie trapped mountain, get separated, and Omega puts the compass in the wall and opens a new path for them. Echo, Tech and Wrecker make their own way through the tunnels as they all eventually band back together. They all reconnect and come to a large door, opening it, they make their way through and to the crystal. which is a rock that looks just like it’s from fifth element, as they take it, the ground shakes and the lights turn on. These lights are identical to the ones on Zeffo in Jedi Fallen Order. Zeffo is a planet covered in snow and ice, with ancient ruins and tombs dotting the landscape. It is home to the Zeffo species, a species of sentient beings with elongated heads and long, thin limbs. They were known for their architectural and engineering skills, and were responsible for building the tombs and ruins found on the planet. The Zeffo civilization was ancient and had collapsed long before the events of the game, leaving behind only their ruins and artifacts. The planet also has a strong connection to the force, which drew the attention of the Jedi Order. The Jedi sent a team of researchers to study the planet and its ancient ruins, but they were all killed by the local wildlife. The giant mech beast is activated after so many years and it’s walking with its four legs as it spits plasma on the land. Could it very well be the Zeffonians who made this massive mech beast? They decide to the put the treasure back where they found it, which was the key. As this recurring small zillo beast type of creature keeps trying to eat them. It’s impervious to blaster fire, which reminds me a lot of the zillo beast, but of course it’s not. The mech beast is about to blow up their ship, as the crew put the key back in the slot, melting it, where the mech beast ends up imploding and falling over. They walk back to the ship and get out of there. So my question is will the Empire learn about this machine? Will they replicate it with some weaponry? Will they sense it via their electromagnetic sensors, perhaps? Much like Hunter did with this beast as it was powering up, before anyone else knew, kind of like a spidey-sense. this episode was ok, it had a fun adventure feel to it but other than that nothing much happened. I was hoping for more exploration of the mech beast as it’s literally an ancient weapon that predates the Jedi which as now been activated and then destroyed. My main question is who built this machine? Was it the Rakatans? An ancient powerful and technologically advanced species that fought against the first force users, the J’edaiii? The Rakatans are an alien species that appear in the Star Wars expanded universe. They are an ancient and technologically advanced species that were one of the first to discover and harness the power of the Force. They were known for their Infinite Empire, which was a powerful civilization that existed around 30,000 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and controlled much of the galaxy. The Rakatans were skilled in the use of the Force and were able to create advanced technology such as the Star Forge, a massive space station that could create starships and droids. They also built the Hyperspace gateways that allowed them to travel through the galaxy quickly and easily. Or could it be the Zeffo people from Fallen Order? Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 4 of the bad batch season 2 brought back some nostalgia to the phantom menace where Anakin Skywalker raced pod racers, however in this episode they raced small pods with blasters in a winner takes all game. Omega, Wrecker and Tech helped Sid out of a bad situation. We learned that Sid cannot be trusted and has a dark past she's hiding. We also saw Tech navigate and learn a new vehicle in under a day.
