Star Wars Theory

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.

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.

We start off on a tropical planet with crabs chasing wrecker, echo, and hunter, while tech and omega are in the ship keeping watch. She’s begun studying with Tech who’s got her learning all the imperial ships and their ins and outs. So it’s clear that each member of the bad batch will be coaching her on their respective specialties. Wrecker on strength training perhaps, tech on studious and electronics, hunter on hunting and combat, and Echo on…well..I guess a combination of everything. As the crew escape narrowly, Omega comes in clutch with her bow n arrow which is something the night sisters used in the clone wars, more info about this weapon will be revealed later on in the show I hope as it’s a cool one with a rich history. The crew get back to Cid and deliver the cargo, completing another job. As they enter the cantina, we see some arcade game with a phase 2 clone trooper helmet on it. I thought this was fun to see. They meet Cid’s new friend, Phee, a trustworthy pirate which doesn’t mean much. I wonder if we’ll get to see Hondo Ohnaka again now that we’re talking about pirates. Phee mentions the next mission and Cid explains further. Their next mission is to go to Serreno, particularly castle serreno, Count Dooku’s former home. Now some of you may wonder why Dooku lived in a castle, which doesn’t seem too humble for someone who used to be a jedi master. Dooku was royalty, and he was the count of serreno. When he gave up being a jedi, he resumed his official title of Count and went back to his castle. Cid explains the Empire is raiding his castle and taking all of his relics and riches. The Bad Batch are to take some of the treasure of Dooku’s castle which would be more money than all of their past jobs combined. Cid explains once the Empire makes their way over here to her, and shut her down, the boys won’t get anymore jobs, so this may be something worth risking, even though the empire is after them. as they head to Serreno, Echo mentions that hiding is not the way to live. Hunter explains that they’re living like this for Omega’s safety, and Echo blames everything on Omega, saying they have their own lives too. Which is true, but at the end of the day, Hunter is the leader of the crew, and he calls the shots. Omega is like a daguther to him at this point, so he’s not going to abandon her. Omega hears this and gets sad. Landing on Serreno, They notice Serreno is quite destroyed, and it’s because the Empire did the same thing here that they did on Kamino, destroy it. The Clones are already moving a ton of the cargo with imperial escort ships, this only happens when something of immense value is being transported that requires that level of security. The crew break into one of the containers and start to rummage through, as they find jewels and treasure. The boys say Dooku took all this from the worlds he conquered through his corruption, when Omega says isnt that what we’re doing. Which is true, from a certain point of view, however, another good point is made in response where she’s told it depends what they do with the treasure that defines their level of corruption or intent. As the Clones eventually discover a heist is happening, Omega, Echo, and Tech get separated from Wrecker and Hunter, as they the 3 are trapped in the container which is about to leave orbit. When Wrecker and Hunter try to catch a ride on it, they realize it’s a bad idea and jump off, landing them at the top of Dooku’s palace, getting them into his head quarters. This is very same HQ that we saw plenty of times in the Clone Wars where Dooku handled many of his affairs, including when he got that gnarly curse put on him by the night sister mother talzin herself. Omega Tech and Echo make their way through the ship, and one thing you’ll notice is that they put their blasters into stun only, whereas the clones executing order 66 are shooting to terminate.

The Bad Batch finale is here. 16 weeks of episodes flew by and we were left with an ending that was heartfelt and happy...except nothing too exciting happened to keep us on the edge of our seats for season 2. I love this show, but tonight's finale was weak in my opinion. We left the season the same way we entered it, with Crosshair and Hunter making a decision and splitting up. Nala Se is tasked to make clones and work on experiments for the empire, most likely Snoke, Palpatine's body double, and more experiments with Grogu, connecting into The Mandalorian, most likely in some way.

In The Bad Batch Episode 14, we got to see Gregor, finally, and we learned that he really wasn't too down with what the Empire has going on. After he got blown up in Season 5 of The Clone Wars, we haven't seen or heard from him, until now (of course in Rebels but I mean before he gets old).

In the Bad Batch episode 12, we got to see a moment in history for Star Wars. A Clone stood up to his brothers and successfully turned them from order 66. He helped them understand what they were doing was wrong, and that the empire is wrong. Ryloth was a planet they were fighting for against the separatists, and now all of a sudden they're fighting against those they swore to protect. Some of the Clone Troopers dropped their blasters and joined their captain, while others remained loyal to the Empire. Why? How did Howzer Ballast do this when Rex couldn't for Jesse and the 501st as Ahsoka Tano stood by? Let's discuss in today's episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the Bad Batch episode 9 we finally learn that Omega is Boba Fett's twin sister. A direct clone of Jango Fett.

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! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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).

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?

In today's 4th Bad Batch episode, we enter the planet of Pantora where Tech scrambles the wanted signal for their ship. Here, we meet Fennec Shand, the assassin from The Mandalorian season 1, and later 2, who teamed up with Boba Fett. In tonight's episode we learned that Fennec Shand is hired by someone (I think Kamino or Boba/Kamino) to find Omega as she is going to facilitate in the third phase of Clone Troopers. The episode had a nice reminiscent scene of Attack of the Clones where Anakin and Obi-Wan chased Zam Wessell through Coruscant. How did you find the episode? Did you like it?

In The Bad Batch, we now know we're going to get phase 3 Clones Troopers as a last ditch effort from the Kaminoans to stay in business with Palpatine's empire. From episode 3, I think this 3rd phase of Clone could be a mutated one, like Omega. Jango's DNA is no longer usable, and now, it's time to progress beyond his natural cells, to a much more evolved species. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Star Wars The Bad Batch episode 3, we see another example of how Tarkin and the Kaminoans are increasing the inhibitor chip's power on Crosshair's mind. I believe this clearly shows that if the chip can be increased, it was also be decreased. The only problem is, how can you apply it to everyone? Is there a fail safe order? A switch? Will Hunter have to use his abilities? Or is Order 66 fail proof? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bad Batch Episode 3 is here and it was very deep with things you might have missed. The main things I want to touch on, are the phase 3 clone troopers that Lama Su mentioned they're working on. What could this be? A force sensitive Clone? Young Palpatine? Starkiller? Is Wrecker about to execute Order 66? Tech? Hunter? Will they all be wiped out by Vader? Can Omega execute Order 66?

In Episode 2 of The Bad Batch, did you notice this quick scene with Omega? When she's super sad and takes off her head pendant from Nala Se? This scene shows me that she is sad she's lost the only mother figure she's ever had, and the only home she's ever known. Does she regret the decision? Is she just going through a rough time after almost being eaten by the Nexu? Could she try to go back to Kamino to save Nala Se? Will the Bad Batch try to reverse Order 66 in their brothers? Will a revolution begin? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bad Batch Episode 2 breakdown is here! The episode was slower paced compared to the first episode's 70 minute action packed pilot. I felt that this episode really helped us understand the massive change the galaxy is going under in regards to new laws and rule of the galactic empire under Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. The episode also helped us to understand where Cut has been during Order 66 and how he's been doing with his family. We know that Rex was just here a day ago (with Ahsoka?) and that everyone is now aware of the chips implanted in the heads of the Clone Troopers to make them execute Order 66 against the Jedi. The episode moved to build the connection between Hunter and Omega, like Father and Daugther, while building upon the other characters abilities slightly. I wonder if in the next ep, we'll see Rex and Ahsoka, and perhaps, learn how they saved Gregor and Wolffe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bad Batch episode 1 has officially begun! The 75 minute episode gave us tons of new material to learn about Order 66 in Star Wars and how it impacted the Clones in particular. This show is essentially a continuation of The Clone Wars, and I am pretty excited to see where it goes. The start of the show with Kanan and Depa had me on the edge of my seat, but once he went away, it was a bit slower for me. I'm looking forward to seeing where it'll go in episode 2, maybe we'll meet up with Rex and Ahsoka? Will we see Vader and Palpatine? I like how it shows where we are at certain moments during the episode, relative to Revenge of the Sith. I love those markers, it helps me know what else is going on in the galaxy and to keep things organized. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liam Neeson was asked about his return as Qui-Gon Jinn in the Kenobi show, to which he threw his hands up in the air and said that there are too many spin offs now, which makes star wars feel diluted (paraphrase). The interview is making the rounds on many different article headlines and websites, so here are my thoughts about what Liam Neeson said and the validity of it. Learn more about your ad choices.
