Would guys like to see Omega getting her own armor at some point? She kinda sticks out like a sore thumb whenever everyone is fully armored up and helmeted during mission and action scenes
While I love their armor, I was thinking they really need to change or disguise their armor a bit, as at some point, having them running around in public wearing republic clone armor will become sketchy. But yes, when they do I’d like to see Omega get come armor as well, personally I say ditch her bow, and train her the be their sniper and observer, as not only is that the gap in the squad, but she doesn’t need to have the size and strength of Wrecker to fill that role, and her size isn’t an issue, as long as she can comfortably carry the rifle they get her. In fact, being smaller can help her, as she’ll be harder to see, and honestly a snipers nest is probably going to be the safest spot, as they really wouldn’t want her in the thick of the fighting, so it’s a perfect role for her in the squad. Yes, I know they’ll want to keep the retractable bow for kids, but they can get her a cool sniper rifle and armor setup to compensate , and she can still use the bow when the mission doesn’t require long range eyes on a target.
I honestly think it be hilarious if AZI-3 and Gonky are the "C-3PO and R2-D2" of the group XD Imagine their introductions AZ: "greetings! I am AZI-345211896246498721347" Gonky: "Gonk."
I like the idea of Echo starting to do “his thing” and AZI comes up and does it 10 times faster and that leads into an Echo-centric episode. He’s not even part of the original batch. Does he have feelings about that?
I was sort of surprised they had Crosshair be the one to turn against the squad, although they had him as sort of a loner type in the Clone War arc they had, but with Echo and Tech filling the same slot within the squad, and with Echo just being recovered, I would have though maybe Tech would support the Empire, since that wouldn’t leave a gap in the squad the way loosing Crosshair does
I think the best way they could start season 2 is a standalone Crosshair episode where the rest of the batch don't even show up. And make it a low action type episode where not that many crazy things happen. Just see his mental state and how he is feeling now that he had the change to go back to his brothers.
Remember, when Agent Kallus returned to the Empire after he and Zeb were stranded together alone on the Icy Geonosian Moon, he wasn't exactly greeted like some long-lost brother lol even Lieutenant Lyste was short and distant with him, especially when shown compared to how Zeb was treated back aboard the Ghost! I can't imagine Crosshair getting a much friendlier welcome home, ya know?! ✌
Q&A: Is it possible that the Bad Batch were created from Omega's DNA and not Jango's? In one episode Omega says she doesn't like being hooked up to lab machines which means at some point she was. She's also older than the BB and must've been old enough to understand what was happening when the BB was created since again she said she was present. That leads me to another question. Do the Bad Batch age faster than the other clones ?
i still think the reason omega is so important is because she's a completely unaltered clone of jango fett, and the kaminoans wanted assurance that, if necessary, they could make more clone troopers. with boba fett off being a bounty hunter somewhere in the galaxy, it'd make sense they have a backup DNA source should the need arise
How can she be an unaltered clone when Jango was a male and she is not? She might be more “pure” than the other clones, but they obviously altered her by removing the Y chromosome. Not trying to begin a fight; just making an observation.
@@MR-yx8hj I think "unaltered" means the Kaminoans didn't give her accelerated aging, the obedience alterations or an inhibitor chip. I think they just swapped out the sex chromosome as a way to conceal her existence, first from Jango and also from the Republic and Dooku. I think it's pretty obvious they did do psychological conditioning and post-"birth" non-invasive procedures on her. Maybe a form of the "Flash-learning" system they referred to in some Legends materials? Think about it: Jango was selected as an optimal clone soldier template because his positive physical and neurological traits were in the top one percent of human baselines. What if Omega was an attempt to match that by trying to induce the same kinds of superiority in things like spacial awareness, empathy and memory, things that aren't just physiological? Top one percent of the one percent?
I sort of agree, although I suspect there is more to it than that, as remember she’s one of the Five enhanced clones as well, so I suspect she had some “tweaks” to her genome, maybe to making cloning from her DNA more successful, maybe so clones made from her dna have better stats, or even maybe they somehow tried to add force sensitivity to her and thus clones made from her? IMO the fact that she’s female, by itself confirms they did some tweaking to her dna, but so does the fact that she’s the fifth enhanced clone, unless the final enhanced clone is someone we haven’t seen yet and might be introduced in later seasons, although I think that she’s is the final enhanced one, but I could be wrong.
@@kevinvassago yeah, I’m not sure how I would feel about her being force sensitive, as then it either becomes the first couple seasons of the Mandalorian or the entire Rebels series, assuming the add someone to the squad that can train her. I think I’d prefer that she just be sort of an advanced human, with a bit of each skills of the Bad Batch members combined into one person, and they can explain it by saying they don’t begin to develop until puberty or something like that
One thing that I think was talked about a bit at the time and kind of forgotten in regards to the “Kaminoans don’t create without a purpose” thing: They go out of their way to point out early in the season that Jango Fett’s genetic material is nearing the end of its usable lifespan with no way to get more. I remember seeing at least a few folks wondering if the eventual plan for Omega was making a clone just different enough that they could make clones of a clone, and sort of extend the use of the Jango Fett gene template.
thats what i think too, she was created as a living backup for when jangos genetic material was no longer useable thus allowing clones to be created for double the time
I'd say Zeb does get some meaty stuff in Rebels' first season, as part of Droids in Distress. He's understandably on edge because of the T-7 ion disruptors (and we find out what happened on Lasan), and goes berserk when he sees that Kallus has a bo-rifle.
Aside from Boba Fett's inevitable debut, season 2 of The Bad Batch will definitely encounter another random Jedi who escaped Order 66, followed by an Inquisitor and the climactic introduction of the most dastardly villain of this time period - Darth Vader - probably during the final episode!
I'd love to see Fennec and Boba Fett hate each other in The Bad Batch s2, or have Boba think he's better than her or something. It could add some retroactive character growth to him saving her on Tatooine
Someone noticed that when the second half of the S1 soundtrack was released yesterday, the music that plays when Nala Se is brought to Mt. Tantiss is titled "Lama Su", which is odd considering he was "killed" in War Mantle so that is making me wonder if he could still be alive. Back after that episode, I joked about imagine if he actually managed to fight off those Elite troopers and escape, like Lama Su's been a baller this whole time and has just been hiding it🤣 but it's also possible that they simply arrested him for treason which seems to be the assumption for now. That he was detained for betraying the Empire because we never saw his body or heard blasters go off when the door closed, especially with this show not being afraid to let us know when they are killing someone, that Onderon scene pulled no punches with nameless characters so I don't see why they wouldn't do that with someone important like Lama Su. I could see it either way, I can buy him being dead but I also like the idea that he could come back later in the series.
Q&A: Could we get to see a clone of the Zillo Beast inside Mount Tantiss in season 2? We’ve all been waiting since season 2 of TCW to see what Palpatine intends to with its impenetrable armoured scales.
13:38 On the mission gone wrong part, here's what I think. -We enter with TBB frantically retreating from a base, with -Initially, it doesn't seem too bad, until Hunter rushes onto the scene,, and he's holding an unconcious Omega. -When they arrive on the ship, Hunter lies Omega on a bunk, and it's revealed she's seriously injured. -Tech and Echo go to work treating her, while Hunter stands back in shock, how they've managed to escape, and how Omega's been hurt.
Q&A: Would you like to see a duel in season 2 of the Bad Batch similar to that of downfall of a droid between R2 and Goldie, but instead it’s Todo 360 vs AZI? It seems like it’d be hilarious for them to meet and fight to me.
i think people are overthinking the fate of the regs. in my headcanon they just become stormtroopers along with new conscripts, like in legends and (so far) what we’ve seen in the bad batch
@@kevinvassago from what i gathered from the bad batch, the TK troopers are the recruited, non-cloned troopers while the jango fett clones retain their phase 2 armor. although, crosshair’s elite soldiers wore a variation of phase 2 clone armor and were regular humans, so i could be off
I can’t remember where I read it… it was in an interview with someone involved. But it was mentioned that there will be a time break between season one and two. They didn’t make it seem like a huge passing of time but definitely not right where season one left off.
12:55 Q&A do you think we we'll see the tie fighter prototype on screen before we see the Empire use standard ties for the first time? I have the canon star wars TIE fighter owner workshop manual (2019) & 1st ship is the TIE Fighter prototype and then the next ship in the book is the TIE fighter.
What if Crosshair does leave the Empire but maybe runs into and travels with characters like Wolff or Howzer? It would be an interesting arc for him ,to be of his comfort zone ,alone around more regs and gaining new perspective much like how Zuko did
I appreciate the lengthy discussion about Delta Squad. Like you, I don't want to get my hopes up. That being said though, and because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, I couldn't help but notice that when Nala Se is brought to the imperial scientist, she's being escorted by (from what I can see) 3 "imperial" commandos. If in step with legends canon there would be 3 members left, like you said as well. So against a hope it got my mind thinking, and I found it interesting that the armor on these 3 were different as well. Most likely just me wishful thinking but who knows! Lol
when they arrived at Mt. Tantiss, Nala Se's shuttle was greeted by the cloner and several troopers. Those were not TK troopers. I think a good portion of the clones are there.
I think the reason Omega exists isn’t because of force sensitivity, but they perhaps created a male and female with Jango’s template simply to see what they could work with better
Tech needs more development than Echo. Echo had the whole Domino Squad arc and several other episodes up until the Citadel and then finally when he was brought back for season 7. He hasn't been in focus on Bad Batch, but his development from Clone Wars didn't disappear. Tech, however, needs to be more than just "I thought it was obvious." He got a bit of a spotlight here and there, mostly in the finale when he defended Crosshair and then went, "I get you, but you're still wrong."
On the topic of Crosshair, I think because Rampart obviously doesn’t like him, AND he wasn’t able to kill the Batch, I bet they’ll demote him and put him in a squad of Regs to spite him. If it’s a certain squad of reg clone commandos that we all want to see in a major role, I’ll flip. As for AZI, I could also see him joining the Batch and the fact Nala Se is almost certainly going to call for help being the catalyst for an Echo centric episode revolving specifically on him learning EXACTLY what happened to Fives and Nala Se’s involvement on that, because it’s clear from the Clone Wars series finale that even Rex doesn’t have all the answers on the inhibitor chips, let alone the Chancellor framing Fives for attempted treason
Q&A: Will we see Qui'ra in the book of Boba Fett? Now that we know she survived into the originals(which honestly surprised me) and she seems to have taken control of Crimson Dawn after Dryden's death and Maul's fall as a crime lord could she fit into the story of tBoBF ? If she appears could we also see Alden Ehrenreich reprise his role as Han Solo since we've seen Luke in the Mandalorian ?
I'm assuming that the plot of tBoBF will revolve around some sort of gang war since the collapse of the Empire and the death of Jabba must've created a power vacuum in the Outer Rim.
Q&A: Do you think if Han and Qi’ra had somehow reunited before she became a member of crimson dawn that they would have ended up together and lived happily ever after without ever having to worry about the empire or the rebellion? And if this did happen, what would’ve changed with the rest of the war? Who would’ve given Luke and Obi-Wan the ride? Just some thoughts
Do we know that Crosshair is going back to the Empire? I feel like if he went back after letting the Batch live they'd just want to discard him. They don't seem particularly interested in keeping him around. Ah yeah, got to the next question. Yeah I think it would be most interesting for Crosshair to strike out on his own and confront a similar question as the rest of the Batch have, what is he if not a Republic or Imperial soldier? Personally if they aren't going to become mercenaries, as it currently seems because a lot of their decisions have been motivated by compassion, I suspect the end point for all of them is to join the very early Rebellion, perhaps they'll be part of the very early Partisans under Saw Gurrera. I'd really like to see some of these early Rebel groups like the Partisans and the Cloud Riders get mre development.
If Crosshair gets rejected by the Empire after they find him. Id be happy to go bounty hunter style. Seeing as he wouldn't be able to trust anyone again maybe. Each job = good soldiers follow orders
Regarding the Kamino destruction, the clone's exact wording was "The cities have been destroyed, sir. All Kaminoan facilities have collapsed into the sea." I interpreted that as "The [specific] cities [we were ordered to destroy] have been destroyed. All Kaminoan facilities [in those areas] have collapsed into the sea." "Facilities" has the "all" attached to it, not "cities." The Empire is stupid, violent and ruthless (in that order), but this situation doesn't seem to warrant genocide or the total evacuation of a planet and the destruction of all its infrastructure. They most likely left some non-cloner Kaminoans and their cities. (The Geonosians were massacred for two reasons that don't apply here - to preserve the Death Star's secrecy, and because they had always been anti-Imperial and would take considerable resources to keep under control.) Also, this might just be a production error, but Return to Kamino made a point that there were only three Venators at the planet, and Rampart uses all three of them to bombard Tipoca City. So I have no idea what would be bombarding any other locations.
"What happened to the regs" well, wasn't tantis in legends where a bunch of clones were kept on stasis? I could be misremembering but the main trio definitely found some old clone war facility with a bunch of them frozen there. That's definitely my bet, at least.
I'm not sure I fully buy Lama Su having died. I feel like they really would've shown some sign of his death, like the sound of blaster fire or a far off scene of him slumping over. The fact that all we got was a closing door tells me he's still around.
I just watched twilight of the apprentice and thought the last time Rex saw Ahsoka was in the beginning of part 1. Don't know how old he would be. But do you think we could see a reunion of the two
12:12 I reckon he's gonna be the one comforting Omega, since Episodes 15 and 16 showed she's got pretty bad PTSD from Kamino, and I suspect it's gotten worse now Kamino has been destroyed.
My guess: season 2 starts where it leaves off except now the bad batch with omegas pleading is trying to assemble clones to retaliate... Here many clones go into hiding and here Rex and Gregor and the other guy meet with Bad Batch but turn over the mantle to them... And somehow the end of the season ends with them looking for sympathizers including finding out the whereabouts of Obi Wan or something like that. Then they learn about the existence of Grogu via which was hidden from the council. It's unlikely Grogu was a clone since he was born the same year as Anakin. So its possible there is a great mystery of how Grogus species are born. And when Palpetine manipulated the midiclorians to birth Anakin the Force responded in balance by making another Yoda. It's a long shot. Oh but really, season 2 is going to be about Mt. Tantis and how the emperor was totally using Nala Se pulling the strings all along (check out her head ornament it's similar to the chancellor's insignia in the Senate) till he could dispose of kamino and the clones and focus on making a Jedi clone. Ie a Padawan to replace Anakin who fell on Mustafar. Anakin in his suit was still a priority and he salvaged what he could he didn't plan on keeping Vader around forever. And season 2 ends with Palpetine calling for his Padawan to come home namely Omega. Since we know he tried to make a clone for himself and Rey's dad is about 30 in Force awakens so he succeeds at least a few years before A New Hope. She has aged throughout the first season a little so the question will be how much time passes between the next season(s). She ages normally so she will need more training and experience like Boba Fett.
I really hope they don’t accelerate the timeframe to much, as I REALLY love seeing them getting used to operating on their own, as well as seeing the early days of the empire, and want to see much more of the empire subjugated planets. They could even see the Bad Batch basically helping various groups resist as the empire takes control of their planets. Basically it would show the Bad Batch basically helping to create the original cells of the Rebel Alliance.
Q&A do you think that the facility at the end of the season could be a follow up for the Zillo beast arc or could that project be scrapped cause there are less lightsabers in the galaxy now. Or are they going straight into cloning force sensitives
Q&A With all the speculation going on regarding a Thrawn Trilogy adaptation, do you think Thrawn himself staying in the Empire and commanding some of its remnants contradicts his character and motivations from the newer books? As in, Thrawn is looking for a strong allly to the Ascendancy to fight a possible Grysk invasion. I don't think [book] Thrawn would consider it worth the effort, specially considering how other factions grew stronger since the fall of the Empire (New Republic, pirates and crime syndicates, possible enemy remnants, etc).
Who do you think recused Grogu during Order 66 at the end of the Clone Wars? Who would you like or not like it to be ? ================================== Anakin Skywalker -(After he murdered the Younglings) Barriss Offee-(Former Padawan who was imprisoned for bombing the Jedi Temple and framing Ahsoka for it) Emperor Palpatine-(To keep Grugo for blood testing) Jocasta Nu-(Chief Librarian for the Jedi Archives) Mace Windu-(After he fell out of the window and fell on a speeder car) ========================================
If there are more hunters in season 2, I REALLY want the ones who don’t have as much screen time such as Embo, Dengar, Sugi, Aurra Sing (who would be a cool final stand) and the two I want most: 4-LOM and Zuckuss
I think it's likely that character and Pershing are linked. How strongly linked I don't know. They could be family, clones, or he worked at the same place as her for five minutes.
I feel if Omega showed up in any Mando related content (Mando, book of boba etc) it’d probably be season 3 of the main series since she’d have at least some knowledge of cloning and maybe even some knowledge from Mt.Tantiss in Bad Batch season 2, so she could explain why or how they’re trying to clone Grogu.
The regs will be likely used to train the first (maybe second as well) gen stormtroopers, then phased out due to the problem of their accelerated aging
It's much more likely that Grogu was a prisoner of the Empire and was rescued by the Bad Batch and handed over to trusted people to take care of him than that Grogu was able to get himself off Coruscant and evade capture by Anakin and the Clones
Q&A: in the prequels the conflict was called the clone wars, in the original trilogy it was called the galactic civil war, in the sequel trilogy what was the galactic conflict called?
Do you think any possibility that whatever might make Omega special could place her as a potential subject for testing Palpatine's eventually spirit/essence/force into another vessel?
Can't have Grogu show up yet...we're talking a 25-30 year time period from Bad Batch to where we are with Grogu in Mandalorian. They have to expand the universe for certain
I think the CCs will just be renumbered as TKs, live fast, age fast and die, hopefully. The alternative is pretty dreadful, but the Empire could do the genocide thing (an order to kill oneself?)...
I have a question. In episode 7 kylo ren suggested to general hux about using a clone army instead of the first order and since kamino facility was destroyed how would they have a clone army since then.
Might the Katana Fleet be retconned into a speratist fleet that went missing during the Clones Wars? With all automation and stuff. Would also allow flashbacks to the Clone Wars...
In the season finale before his conversation with Omega, Crosshair held his head in the same way as Recker did before his chip was removed. Do you think they are hinting that he hasn't had it removed, even if he thinks he has?
So its pretty obvious to me that the Empire will continue hunting the Bad Batch, but Crosshair would no longer be involved. It would be nice to see Delta as the main antagonists with Crosshair perhaps undermining their efforts, but I think the writers are making the Empire completely dispose of the clones as quickly as possible, so that is unlikely.
Ok, so why did the Empire have to kill (nearly?) all the Kaminoans? just because they're evil? And, what was purpose of destroying the Kaminoans cloning facility? Granted they thought they were going to just make and run their own cloning project in a new facility. But, was it necessary to wipe the "old slate" clean? Figure they could have just said you're fired and kept all the tech and keep out the Kaminoans. I do find that if it's as simple as the empire's own arrogance and shortsightedness and it will come back to bite them in their own ass later pretty hilarious. Other than that, I'm not sure I picked up on exactly why it had to go the way it did.
Would guys like to see Omega getting her own armor at some point? She kinda sticks out like a sore thumb whenever everyone is fully armored up and helmeted during mission and action scenes
I’d say they were foreshadowing that with her custom clone doll.
@@Cybermat47 good point, I haven’t thought of that before
Maybe they steal some armour from a TK-training facility like the one Ezra visited/infiltrated!
Yes

Who was your favorite character going in?
Wrecker.
Who was your favorite character at the end?
Reek-ah
I like the idea of Echo starting to do “his thing” and AZI comes up and does it 10 times faster and that leads into an Echo-centric episode. He’s not even part of the original batch. Does he have feelings about that?
Yeah, I’d like to see a Echo character study

I’m betting that Howzer returns next season. There’s no way they’re done with him.
Yeah he can’t go out that way

And make it a low action type episode where not that many crazy things happen. Just see his mental state and how he is feeling now that he had the change to go back to his brothers.
Great idea!
Crosshair Alone
@@user-dl9hr5po8b I love that
Remember dave filoni helped write Zuko alone and we al know how amazing that episode was
Yeah, Crosshair could carry his own episode, he kinda did in episode 3 and I’d love to see more Crosshair centric episodes!
Remember, when Agent Kallus returned to the Empire after he and Zeb were stranded together alone on the Icy Geonosian Moon, he wasn't exactly greeted like some long-lost brother lol even Lieutenant Lyste was short and distant with him, especially when shown compared to how Zeb was treated back aboard the Ghost!

I don’t think Vader will appear in a big role.
Maybe we'll see the Trilla aka the Second Sister or Cal Kestus
Fingers crossed 🤞 Vader will be the one to end the bad batch
I’m praying Quinlan Vos is THAT jedi
Ahsoka?
I'd love to see Fennec and Boba Fett hate each other in The Bad Batch s2, or have Boba think he's better than her or something. It could add some retroactive character growth to him saving her on Tatooine
Interesting idea….
I could also see Boba and Fennec teaming up to protect Omega from Cad Bane, until The Bad Batch come to pick her up.

I’ve loved The Bad Batch so much! It felt so weird this Friday that there wasn’t a new Bad Batch episode, hype for season 2!
All your comparisons of Crosshair and Zuko are interesting, especially considering Dave Filoni used to work on Avata the Last Airbender.
Q&A: What do you think happened to senator Halle Burtoni of Kamino after the events of Bad Batch season 1?
"Speeder accident"?

-Initially, it doesn't seem too bad, until Hunter rushes onto the scene,, and he's holding an unconcious Omega.
-When they arrive on the ship, Hunter lies Omega on a bunk, and it's revealed she's seriously injured.
-Tech and Echo go to work treating her, while Hunter stands back in shock, how they've managed to escape, and how Omega's been hurt.
Q&A: Would you like to see a duel in season 2 of the Bad Batch similar to that of downfall of a droid between R2 and Goldie, but instead it’s Todo 360 vs AZI? It seems like it’d be hilarious for them to meet and fight to me.
i think people are overthinking the fate of the regs. in my headcanon they just become stormtroopers along with new conscripts, like in legends and (so far) what we’ve seen in the bad batch
Yup
@@kevinvassago from what i gathered from the bad batch, the TK troopers are the recruited, non-cloned troopers while the jango fett clones retain their phase 2 armor. although, crosshair’s elite soldiers wore a variation of phase 2 clone armor and were regular humans, so i could be off
I can’t remember where I read it… it was in an interview with someone involved. But it was mentioned that there will be a time break between season one and two. They didn’t make it seem like a huge passing of time but definitely not right where season one left off.
Yeah its said at end of the this week in Star Wars video (19th August 2021)
12:55
Q&A do you think we we'll see the tie fighter prototype on screen before we see the Empire use standard ties for the first time?
I have the canon star wars TIE fighter owner workshop manual (2019) & 1st ship is the TIE Fighter prototype and then the next ship in the book is the TIE fighter.
I’d take that part of the sourcebook with a grain of salt, considering how loose the show has played with existing canon
We’ll see TIE fighters sooner rather than later
Q&A: Do you think Rex and Wolfe have found out what happened to the Galactic Empire did to the Clone Facilities in Kamino?
I think it's impossible they don't find out somehow
Aurra sing says “Bossk, fire up Slave I.” In the clone wars episode of “R2 Come Home”
What if Crosshair does leave the Empire but maybe runs into and travels with characters like Wolff or Howzer? It would be an interesting arc for him ,to be of his comfort zone ,alone around more regs and gaining new perspective much like how Zuko did
Grogu would look so cute in animation
Ikr
Aurra Sing said Slave I in the Boba Fett CW episodes
Wrecker and tech really were the standouts imo
I like the idea of 6 moths to a year passing when season 2 starts up.
Yeah, maybe Crosshair has his hair grown out again and his wound has disappeared to signify a time jump
I appreciate the lengthy discussion about Delta Squad. Like you, I don't want to get my hopes up. That being said though, and because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, I couldn't help but notice that when Nala Se is brought to the imperial scientist, she's being escorted by (from what I can see) 3 "imperial" commandos. If in step with legends canon there would be 3 members left, like you said as well. So against a hope it got my mind thinking, and I found it interesting that the armor on these 3 were different as well. Most likely just me wishful thinking but who knows! Lol
The Slave I is named on screen by Aurra Sing on TCW season 2 tho
when they arrived at Mt. Tantiss, Nala Se's shuttle was greeted by the cloner and several troopers. Those were not TK troopers. I think a good portion of the clones are there.
Those were imperial clone commandos, the empire is keeping republic special forces because they have a use for them
Q&A: How do you think Star Wars would have changed if the Second Death Star destroyed Endor during the battle?
I think the reason Omega exists isn’t because of force sensitivity, but they perhaps created a male and female with Jango’s template simply to see what they could work with better
Yeah, I think we are done expanding on why the Kaminoans made Omega, since season 1 focused on that a lot
I think they will keep AZ around because he is a medical droid after all and would be helpful in their line of work.
Tech needs more development than Echo. Echo had the whole Domino Squad arc and several other episodes up until the Citadel and then finally when he was brought back for season 7. He hasn't been in focus on Bad Batch, but his development from Clone Wars didn't disappear.
Tech, however, needs to be more than just "I thought it was obvious." He got a bit of a spotlight here and there, mostly in the finale when he defended Crosshair and then went, "I get you, but you're still wrong."
Q/A: Did the Empire or either the Old or New Republic have something like WWF? That protected endangered species?
Thanks, Mollie! Thanks, Alex! 🌟
On the topic of Crosshair, I think because Rampart obviously doesn’t like him, AND he wasn’t able to kill the Batch, I bet they’ll demote him and put him in a squad of Regs to spite him. If it’s a certain squad of reg clone commandos that we all want to see in a major role, I’ll flip.
As for AZI, I could also see him joining the Batch and the fact Nala Se is almost certainly going to call for help being the catalyst for an Echo centric episode revolving specifically on him learning EXACTLY what happened to Fives and Nala Se’s involvement on that, because it’s clear from the Clone Wars series finale that even Rex doesn’t have all the answers on the inhibitor chips, let alone the Chancellor framing Fives for attempted treason
Commandos aren't regs and CT-99's and CC(commandos)/RC/IC have the same rank/power and go on similar missions
Crosshair: friendship with bad batch is over delta squad is my new friend
Hoping for Bad Batch vs Delta Squad at some point
Q&A: Will we see Qui'ra in the book of Boba Fett? Now that we know she survived into the originals(which honestly surprised me) and she seems to have taken control of Crimson Dawn after Dryden's death and Maul's fall as a crime lord could she fit into the story of tBoBF ? If she appears could we also see Alden Ehrenreich reprise his role as Han Solo since we've seen Luke in the Mandalorian ?
I'm assuming that the plot of tBoBF will revolve around some sort of gang war since the collapse of the Empire and the death of Jabba must've created a power vacuum in the Outer Rim.
Great episode.
It sounds like Omega is the Ted Lasso of Star Wars. Have we ever seen cookies/biscuits in Star Wars?
Q&A: Do you think if Han and Qi’ra had somehow reunited before she became a member of crimson dawn that they would have ended up together and lived happily ever after without ever having to worry about the empire or the rebellion? And if this did happen, what would’ve changed with the rest of the war? Who would’ve given Luke and Obi-Wan the ride? Just some thoughts
Interesting idea….
Q/A: What was the first in-universe appearance of the ABY/BBY dating system?
(canon)4/5 aby when the new republic was formed
The younger clones and the babies in the pods will become purge troopers.
Only some purge troopers are clones, it's a in lore coincidence that the full squad on mon cala were were the jango fett clones
For example the purge troopers you fight on kashyyyk in fallen order are humans
@@CRYSTAL_CUSTOMS Yes because it's set AFTER the comic and by that point many have clones killed so they start replacing them with regular humans.
@@StuartLugsden it's not confirmed if they were all clones in the first few years after revenge of the sith
Thanks! 🙏🏼
The intro is here! Missed it!
Do we know that Crosshair is going back to the Empire? I feel like if he went back after letting the Batch live they'd just want to discard him. They don't seem particularly interested in keeping him around.
Ah yeah, got to the next question. Yeah I think it would be most interesting for Crosshair to strike out on his own and confront a similar question as the rest of the Batch have, what is he if not a Republic or Imperial soldier?
Personally if they aren't going to become mercenaries, as it currently seems because a lot of their decisions have been motivated by compassion, I suspect the end point for all of them is to join the very early Rebellion, perhaps they'll be part of the very early Partisans under Saw Gurrera. I'd really like to see some of these early Rebel groups like the Partisans and the Cloud Riders get mre development.
If Crosshair gets rejected by the Empire after they find him. Id be happy to go bounty hunter style. Seeing as he wouldn't be able to trust anyone again maybe. Each job = good soldiers follow orders
Zuko character progression please.
Season 1 - fire nation/empire
Season 2 - alone
Season 3 - team avatar/Bad Batch
Dave worked on both so could be
I think he’s still gonna be with the Empire. He’s too good of a soldier to be rejected
If bounry hunters pop up in S2, then I hope Hondo pops up too, we haven't seen him in a long time too.
Regarding the Kamino destruction, the clone's exact wording was "The cities have been destroyed, sir. All Kaminoan facilities have collapsed into the sea." I interpreted that as "The [specific] cities [we were ordered to destroy] have been destroyed. All Kaminoan facilities [in those areas] have collapsed into the sea." "Facilities" has the "all" attached to it, not "cities." The Empire is stupid, violent and ruthless (in that order), but this situation doesn't seem to warrant genocide or the total evacuation of a planet and the destruction of all its infrastructure. They most likely left some non-cloner Kaminoans and their cities. (The Geonosians were massacred for two reasons that don't apply here - to preserve the Death Star's secrecy, and because they had always been anti-Imperial and would take considerable resources to keep under control.)
Also, this might just be a production error, but Return to Kamino made a point that there were only three Venators at the planet, and Rampart uses all three of them to bombard Tipoca City. So I have no idea what would be bombarding any other locations.
The kaminons are minimalist and every city has facilities of some kind
"What happened to the regs" well, wasn't tantis in legends where a bunch of clones were kept on stasis? I could be misremembering but the main trio definitely found some old clone war facility with a bunch of them frozen there. That's definitely my bet, at least.
Tantis had a fully functional cloning facility that could produce mature clones in a year
Most clones either retired, trained the new TK troopers, or continued to serve the Empire
I'm not sure I fully buy Lama Su having died. I feel like they really would've shown some sign of his death, like the sound of blaster fire or a far off scene of him slumping over. The fact that all we got was a closing door tells me he's still around.
I just watched twilight of the apprentice and thought the last time Rex saw Ahsoka was in the beginning of part 1. Don't know how old he would be. But do you think we could see a reunion of the two
12:12 I reckon he's gonna be the one comforting Omega, since Episodes 15 and 16 showed she's got pretty bad PTSD from Kamino, and I suspect it's gotten worse now Kamino has been destroyed.
My guess: season 2 starts where it leaves off except now the bad batch with omegas pleading is trying to assemble clones to retaliate... Here many clones go into hiding and here Rex and Gregor and the other guy meet with Bad Batch but turn over the mantle to them... And somehow the end of the season ends with them looking for sympathizers including finding out the whereabouts of Obi Wan or something like that. Then they learn about the existence of Grogu via which was hidden from the council. It's unlikely Grogu was a clone since he was born the same year as Anakin. So its possible there is a great mystery of how Grogus species are born. And when Palpetine manipulated the midiclorians to birth Anakin the Force responded in balance by making another Yoda. It's a long shot.
Oh but really, season 2 is going to be about Mt. Tantis and how the emperor was totally using Nala Se pulling the strings all along (check out her head ornament it's similar to the chancellor's insignia in the Senate) till he could dispose of kamino and the clones and focus on making a Jedi clone. Ie a Padawan to replace Anakin who fell on Mustafar. Anakin in his suit was still a priority and he salvaged what he could he didn't plan on keeping Vader around forever.
And season 2 ends with Palpetine calling for his Padawan to come home namely Omega. Since we know he tried to make a clone for himself and Rey's dad is about 30 in Force awakens so he succeeds at least a few years before A New Hope.
She has aged throughout the first season a little so the question will be how much time passes between the next season(s). She ages normally so she will need more training and experience like Boba Fett.
I really hope they don’t accelerate the timeframe to much, as I REALLY love seeing them getting used to operating on their own, as well as seeing the early days of the empire, and want to see much more of the empire subjugated planets. They could even see the Bad Batch basically helping various groups resist as the empire takes control of their planets.
Basically it would show the Bad Batch basically helping to create the original cells of the Rebel Alliance.
Q&A do you think that the facility at the end of the season could be a follow up for the Zillo beast arc or could that project be scrapped cause there are less lightsabers in the galaxy now.
Or are they going straight into cloning force sensitives
Q&A
With all the speculation going on regarding a Thrawn Trilogy adaptation, do you think Thrawn himself staying in the Empire and commanding some of its remnants contradicts his character and motivations from the newer books? As in, Thrawn is looking for a strong allly to the Ascendancy to fight a possible Grysk invasion. I don't think [book] Thrawn would consider it worth the effort, specially considering how other factions grew stronger since the fall of the Empire (New Republic, pirates and crime syndicates, possible enemy remnants, etc).
Who do you think recused Grogu during Order 66 at the end of the Clone Wars? Who would you like or not like it to be ?
==================================
Anakin Skywalker -(After he murdered the Younglings)
Barriss Offee-(Former Padawan who was imprisoned for bombing the Jedi Temple and framing Ahsoka for it)
Emperor Palpatine-(To keep Grugo for blood testing)
Jocasta Nu-(Chief Librarian for the Jedi Archives)
Mace Windu-(After he fell out of the window and fell on a speeder car)
========================================
Q&A: How many takes did you go through to correctly say AZI's full name in the Bad Batch easter eggs video?
If there are more hunters in season 2, I REALLY want the ones who don’t have as much screen time such as Embo, Dengar, Sugi, Aurra Sing (who would be a cool final stand) and the two I want most: 4-LOM and Zuckuss
Q&A: will there be anything about order 66 in the book of boba Fett?
What are you're thoughts and hopes on Star Wars: Crimson Reign, the new comic series from Charles Soule about Qi'ra after WotBH?
I think it's likely that character and Pershing are linked. How strongly linked I don't know. They could be family, clones, or he worked at the same place as her for five minutes.
She could be his mentor.
@@Dorimeme187 Possible, or she was that weird person who quit very loudly on his first day
I feel if Omega showed up in any Mando related content (Mando, book of boba etc) it’d probably be season 3 of the main series since she’d have at least some knowledge of cloning and maybe even some knowledge from Mt.Tantiss in Bad Batch season 2, so she could explain why or how they’re trying to clone Grogu.
Awesome Vid
Q: Could the female death trooper from rebels be the same as the elite trooper that escapes in bad batch Ep13
Unlikely as they have two different voice actresses.
The regs will be likely used to train the first (maybe second as well) gen stormtroopers, then phased out due to the problem of their accelerated aging
It's much more likely that Grogu was a prisoner of the Empire and was rescued by the Bad Batch and handed over to trusted people to take care of him than that Grogu was able to get himself off Coruscant and evade capture by Anakin and the Clones
Q&A: in the prequels the conflict was called the clone wars, in the original trilogy it was called the galactic civil war, in the sequel trilogy what was the galactic conflict called?
In the sequels the new republic vs first order war was called the cold war so probably the same for the resistance vs the first/final order
I thought it was called the First Order/Resistance Conflict
Do you think any possibility that whatever might make Omega special could place her as a potential subject for testing Palpatine's eventually spirit/essence/force into another vessel?
Can't have Grogu show up yet...we're talking a 25-30 year time period from Bad Batch to where we are with Grogu in Mandalorian. They have to expand the universe for certain
Im still not convinced that camp full of people Mando slaughtered getting Grogu in season 1 of Mandalorian were bad guys
I think "Slave I" is mentioned a couple times in The Clone Wars
Q&A: Will there be Bad Batch comic books ?
I think the CCs will just be renumbered as TKs, live fast, age fast and die, hopefully. The alternative is pretty dreadful, but the Empire could do the genocide thing (an order to kill oneself?)...
And then Season Two of "The Bad Batch" happens and Lama Su makes a surprise appearance!
I do think Aurra Sing calls it the slave 1 in a clone wars episode.
1 question I would love answered is what does the empire do with all the dead stormtroopers???
I have a question. In episode 7 kylo ren suggested to general hux about using a clone army instead of the first order and since kamino facility was destroyed how would they have a clone army since then.
1 i think they r using at least some clones for experiment
2 i think az will be used more as a equipment for omega like that droid was to iden versio
Might the Katana Fleet be retconned into a speratist fleet that went missing during the Clones Wars? With all automation and stuff. Would also allow flashbacks to the Clone Wars...
The Slave I was referred to by name in The Clone Wars.
Brad rau confirmed a time jump between s1 and s2
Yeah its said at end of the this week in Star Wars video (19th August 2021)
Could Snoke be a "strandcast" of Luke - not a clone, but something created using Luke's DNA?
Snoke is basically a mixture of Palpatine’s DNA, Luke’s DNA (from his hand), and Grogu’s DNA
do you think they will make an echo, and omega action figure?
9:25 Plus they'd be in need of a Sniper.
In the season finale before his conversation with Omega, Crosshair held his head in the same way as Recker did before his chip was removed. Do you think they are hinting that he hasn't had it removed, even if he thinks he has?
No, his chip is removed. It would be really stupid storytelling if it wasn’t
I think his chip is still in, but damaged.
I wonder if Roland was inspired by Tig Fromm from Star Wars: Droids
So its pretty obvious to me that the Empire will continue hunting the Bad Batch, but Crosshair would no longer be involved. It would be nice to see Delta as the main antagonists with Crosshair perhaps undermining their efforts, but I think the writers are making the Empire completely dispose of the clones as quickly as possible, so that is unlikely.
I really hope Azee is a permanent member next season, and that we get more Echo centric stuff
Ok, so why did the Empire have to kill (nearly?) all the Kaminoans? just because they're evil? And, what was purpose of destroying the Kaminoans cloning facility? Granted they thought they were going to just make and run their own cloning project in a new facility. But, was it necessary to wipe the "old slate" clean? Figure they could have just said you're fired and kept all the tech and keep out the Kaminoans.
I do find that if it's as simple as the empire's own arrogance and shortsightedness and it will come back to bite them in their own ass later pretty hilarious. Other than that, I'm not sure I picked up on exactly why it had to go the way it did.
I thought they said some of the regs were sent to Mimban to die as an imperial army trooper
I watched what I could with the bad batch on UA-cam I'm wondering will we see the inquisitors in season 2 or baris in season 2 as the first inquisitor
What do you think happened to Kaminoans living offworld, like, for example, Halle Burtoni?
im telling you dude the clones left with the empire are gonna be modified with cybernetics and turned into death troopers
