Star Wars Theory

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.

In today's 9th episode of The Bad Batch, we see a ton of new story elements with Omega, Cad Bane, Kaminoans, and Fennec Shand (and even Boba Fett a bit!). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. 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 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. What did you think of it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

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? I hope we see Rex in Bad Batch episode 5. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In The Bad Batch episode 3, Nala Se tells Lama Su that Jango Fett's DNA is not very usable anymore, pushing them more and more to advance to phase 3 Clone Troopers. Why is Jango's DNA so important to begin with? What will Phase 3 look like (let's talk more about it adding to yesterday's topic and episode on Omega) and how could this impact the Clone Troopers going forward. Learn more about your ad choices.

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

in the book The Secrets of the Jedi, we get to learn Luke's point of view of Anakin's return after being Darth Vader for so many years. It's interesting as we dive into Luke's thoughts of rushing to fight Vader during Empire Strikes Back, and then to his ultimate sacrifice at the end of Return of the Jedi where Anakin came back to save his son. Even after all the things Anakin Skywalker did during Order 66, killing Obi-Wan Kenobi, and betraying all the Jedi once he became a Sith Lord, he was still able to be redeemed by Luke, who as George Lucas always said, was merely the catalyst to help Anakin come back and fulfill the prophecy as the chosen one.

In the canon book Secrets of the Jedi by Insight Editions, we get the thoughts and point of view of Luke Skywalker on almost every character. Today's episode will discuss and explain his thoughts on Kanan Jarrus and his Jedi Master, Depa Bilaba, who was Mace Windu's apprentice. She also had a seat on the Jedi Council, unlike Qui-Gon Jinn. I always found it interesting how Anakin had a seat but wasn't a Jedi Master, yet Qui-Gon didn't have a seat, yet was a Jedi Master. Kind of shows you how they were a perfect fit for one another if they came together as Master and Apprentice, Father and Son so to speak. This view of Luke Skywalker shows Kanan's journey through Order 66 and his memoirs during his escape. He questions if his master's sacrifice was worth it, which of course as he goes to train Ezra Bridger later on, we know it was. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the Kenobi novel, Ben is what Satine used to called Obi-Wan in the Clone Wars, as a sort of endearing name. This is why he chose the name Ben while watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine.

Mace Windu was an interesting Jedi Master...while one of the most powerful next to Master Yoda, his ideologies on the force differed from many. He harnessed the darkside within himself and used it for good, Embracing his dark nature, and channeling it into Vaapad. While Mace was not the best people person, he believed the Jedi weren't really all that great, rather, just pragmatic beings. This gives good insight on his reflections of the Jedi and makes you realize that maybe he wasn't all that high and mighty, maybe he just felt that the Jedi were the best of what is around at the moment to keep the peace...
