@Kylekatarn I can see Echo leaving the group by the end of the season and going with Cody or even in this season 🤔 theirs definitely a Clone story line through this season you can feel it uprising or even war that will end badly 😢😢😢😢
i think cody left so fast because he was already planning to leave but he wanted to take crosshair with him which is why he was vibe-checking his mentality considering him and the batch were friends. i think he was tryna do him a solid as/for a friend and him comiting the last murder was the icing on the cake to cody that he shouldnt take him with him
i feel like the next episode would be cool if we see how cody escaped which probably would involve rex and the batch
also the shot of crosshair alone in front of the list of dead was pretty cool and symbolic
I saw someone else point out that at the beginning Crosshair wakes up to an alarm. After talking with Cody, he is lying awake waiting for it showing he's not sleeping as well anymore. I thought that was a really interesting subtle detail
Crosshair is realizing a few things
-The Empire cares about the clones about the same as a shit under their boot.
-Despite being loyal to their new masters, the other clones still look down upon him as an outcast. The only one who didn't is scared off by his ruthless mentality.
-He had a chance to be with an actual family who accepted him but he turned them away. While he's alone at a cafeteria table Omega's somewhere eating mantell mix with the gang and is either enthusing about another successful mission or being glad they walked out alive on a failed one. Either one she's happily content with her close knit group while Crosshair feels a crushing sense of loneliness.
Its also difficult to accept Hunters words to him last season, that he'll be nothing more than a number to the Empire, which he is seeing when he asked about Cody. Going to be interesting to see what they do with him going forward.
@@shugaroony I never noticed that Hunter's warning actually became literal. Good catch.
"While he's alone at a cafeteria table Omega's somewhere eating mantell mix with the gang "
Yeah, my point exactly. TBB replaced Crosshair with the girl they barely knew so easily. And then they just forgot about his very existence.
Empire may not be the best choice for him (or for anyone), but with brothers, who treated him like sh*t, who never ever tried to show him compassion and understanding, who left him in the hands of the enemy multiple times?.. If I had such brothers, I'd stay with the Empire too. After all, it was evil Empire, who saved Crosshair from certain death on Kamino, not his "loving" brothers. So with the Empire he's a number. With TBB he's nothing. Simple as that.
@@margarethood I mean, there's only so much you can do when he's actively hunting them down while Omega was actively nice and compassionate
It kinda hurts seeing how little clones are left in the mess halls
You noticed that too?
@@jackdubz4247 Yeah seeing the mess hall have so little clones now makes seeing all the clone deaths heavier and heavier
I think Cody was already leaving, and wanted to see if Crosshair would leave with him. From the trailer where Rex asks the Batch for help, I wonder if it’s to pick up Cody. Awesome episode
We can only hope.
I think, knowing what happens in future episodes, AWOL = volun-told to join Dr. Hemlock's research 😳
Cody was the guy who introduced Clone Force 99 to Rex and Anakin, He's literally their oldest Reg friend.
Really loving how Crosshair just chooses to be evil, it's a character choice you don't see that often in fiction.
I feel like one of the reasons that Cody requested Crosshair is because he wanted to get out and thought maybe Crosshair would share that thought... But he didn't. So I think that was Cody's last straw.
No Cody's gone because he finally realized there is no changing it from the inside and although he didnt pull the trigger she died on his word and her trust in it and I think that was the line that he couldnt cross anymore.
Exactly, I thought this felt anything but rushed. It made sense in my eyes. You could see how disappointed he was after they straight up murdered her after negotiating peace. Like you said it was his breaking point
For me I really liked that Cody seemed to almost channel Obi-Wan with how he tried to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the whole situation. As Grievous said, "Ah yes, the negotiator."
Also, I feel like it's so messed up that Governor Ames still revered Dooku. He was the one who ordered the death of Mina Bonteri, in order to stop the peace treaty she was going to propose, and that she had written with Tawni Ames. It's just kind of wild to see that all tie together.
I hope that Crosshair starts to see how ridiculous the "good soldiers follow orders is" when he continues to see the clones treated like droids by Rampart and the rest of the Imperials. Like how Rampart only refers to them by their numbers, and not their names, just like Pong Krell.
These three episodes have been heavy hitters. Here we see how clones are getting phased out so fast: the empire is sending them as cannon fodder so their conscripts can reap the rewards.
It was also interesting to see a sep holdout as well. One close to Mina Bonteri who wanted peace as well.
Possibly my favorite episode of this series including last season. It’s great to see Cody again. You can definitely tell his actions, especially with regards to Obi-Wan, potentially haunt him. Crosshair is the most interesting character of this series to me. I can’t wait to see where he goes from here, especially with what I think was the seeds of doubt that Cody placed in his mind
I dont know why but hearing Crosshair say "Droidikas" made me so happy, feel like they dont get called by their name enough, love the name. Def hope Cody meets up with the batch and Rex, hopefully lives. Absolutely loved that we got an all crosshair ep. Very curious how his character will grow/change through this season
Also loved the silent scene with Cody seeing more and more KT soldiers, and with the mention of the Bill at the beginning i think he knows the clones are not going to be treated fairly which s why he left
This show is an awesome companion piece to Andor. Holy shit what an episode
You have to wonder if the Kaminoans didn’t fully follow Palpatine’s orders on the programming on the chip. “Your overconfidence is your weakness.”
The chips work perfectly, within the guidelines the Kaminoans had. They made loyal Clone soldiers for the Republic, who would follow the orders of the Republic Leadership including Order 66. They were never trained to be Imperials, and the chips don't work to enforce loyalty to the Empire the way they did for the Republic.
Palpatine never revealed his full plan to anyone. Even if the Kaminoans needed to know about Order 66, it was still coached as an 'in case of Jedi Rebellion break glass' thing internally.
@@JoeFF85 From my understanding it's that the order wears off. When it was first executed the clones acted cold and didn't care for eachother. The more time that went by they started becoming themselves again thus questioning what the order and what they had done.
@@perssontm1628 definitely that appears to be the case. I just mean that in the ‘present’ all of the clones conditioning towards obedience, etc, probably doesn’t apply towards the Empire the same way it did towards the Republic.
I never noticed, among everything else awesome about Crosshair's kill with the tactical droid, he also hits it through the eye from the looks of it
I just wanna say you guys are my favorite channel regarding Star Wars. You have your opinions, but you’re fair about them and not toxic. Your knowledge of Star Wars lore is super impressive and I trust you over any other channel when it comes to knowing what’s what. Thank you both!
That's very nice of you to say, thank you!
That last conversation with Crosshair and Cody gave me chills
I totally said Master Destroyers when he said droidekas. I really hope that we see Cody and Rex back together next week working with the Batch. I feel so conflicted about crosshair. The dude just wants to be a good soldier. The regs hate him. The imperials hate clones. Where is this going to leave him. I still think it will come to the point where Tarkin uses Crosshair to kill Rampart then Tarkin takes out Crosshair.
HELLO THERE!!!!!
The title alone told us everything we needed to know, and Cody's words certainly can give Crosshair a heads start to his journey of redemption. Mando and Bad Batch in March?! KRIFF YES!
As i said in another place, i believe they are bulding things up for the Clone Rebellion from the old Star Wars Batttlefront game.
Loved Cody growing a conscience and going awol from the Empire. Also i am almost sure Cody was already thinking about leaving at the start of the episode and was probing Crosshair about it too with the question about other clones deserting. And the TK troopers invading force after they took the city was the tipping point.
By the way, pretty sure the "solitary clone" refers to both Crosshair and Cody. They did after all made sure we saw things from both of their perspectives during the episode.
Hopefully, later in this series they'll have a episode featuring Nala Se and the Empire doctor from last season, which may give the audience a definitive explanantion on how and why the inhibitor chips work. I think we are still missing some key information, espcially since the clones have unexplained night terror regarding killing Jedi and their brothers
This has to be one of my favorite animated episodes from Star Wars period. I personally think the whole 'Cody going AWOL' and the conversation about clone loyalty is a underhanded jab towards Crosshair, stating that Rampart knows that Crosshair lied in his report, and that he had Cody disposed of. I think they got rid of Cody (by either killing or imprisoning him) because he refused an order from the governor earlier in the episode and that they possibly knew of his remorsefulness from order 66. If Cody is alive, I would love to see more of him, maybe have him try to atone for himself in some way.
@@mosesgutierrez8744 I certainly hope he's alive, there would be a ton of wasted potential if he's just gone. I just couldn't shake the feeling that Rampart was playing Cody's AWOL a little too cool, and that something happened but we're not told what.
I think a lot of fans are overthinking the Clones. It was the chips that made them execute order 66; they didn't have a choice. Now, it seems like the chips effectiveness of making the Clones essentially organic droids is wearing and their sense of right and wrong is rising to the surface. Had this been Cody immediately after "killing" Kenobi, he would've shot the governor without question, but now it's been at least a year and Cody is starting to act like Howzer, where the chip still has enough influence on him that it's keeping him from feeling remorse for what he did, but at the same time, questions if they're on the right side. If Cody gets his chip removed this season, we would definitely see all the guilt rush through him as he realizes he "killed" his best friend.
And this is why Palpatitine gets rid of the Clones, because he knows that the chips are loosing its influence on them. Had the chips kept the Clones as obedient soldiers, he would've kept the elite soldiers over the inferior Stormtroopers any day.
Not to mention, even with the chip activated, the clones were fully aware of what was happening and experienced all the emotions relevant to such actions but the chip didnt allow them to physically or mentally express it
@@spencerrr9878 man now I've got flashbacks to Rex struggling with trying to kill Ahsoka.
I remember Tup getting his mind completely hijacked when the chip malfunctioned and triggered order 66 early.
One of the best animated episodes I've seen. The story, the music, and the imagery were amazing.
Probably one of my favourite bad batch episodes so far. I need so much more of Cody and for him to make it out.
Cody leaving isn't rushed. This is something he's been thinking about for weeks if not months. We're just coming in at the tail end of his disillusionment, and Crosshair executing the governor as ordered by the Imperial was the final straw.
The Best episode in the season for now
Thanks, Kyle! Thanks, Bendu! Thanks, Nerd Chronic! ➗ 'Gonky' short-circuited last season. I hope they fix him. He is beloved! #KyleKatarn #StarWars #TheBadBatch
Cody was a Marshall Commander in command of the entire 7th Sky Corps (of which the 212th is a part), under only Obi-Wan Kenobi, whatever admiral was assigned to them and the Senate.
Coming back to this reaction, I hope there’s a lot more episodes like this one in particular in season 3, best episode of all bad batch imo.
Cody talked about more and more regs questioning order 66. Are they hinting that the inhibitor chips are becoming less effective over time? If so, perhaps that's why Cody could attack the Jedi at first, but now is starting to question the moral issues of the orders he's getting.
My favourite part was at the end. The Clones and Cody, walking up the ramp to leave, just as the new TK Troopers arrive to occupy. Beautiful, subtle symbolism of the Clones been phased out of the Empire and replaced. Heartbreaking.
This was one freakin' awesome episode.
I think the best of all episodes. Just my humble opinion. Luv my BB
Absolutely loved this episode
Parts of it felt like a punch to the gut
Does anyone think that the city looks like Jedha from rogue one .. especially the shot from in minutes 22:30 of the episode
Running theory that Rampart reported Wilco as “AWOL” too.
Would have *never* guessed the character who does take VA Rampart out of the picture this season.. My bet would have been with my boy, Crosshair. Absolutely Cody & Cross have worked together, Season 7 of the Clone Wars. It was also eluded to that the Batch had worked with the Commander in previous missions as well. Plus, Crosshair *has always respected Cody.* And he more than likely took the shot *because he thought Cody would be punished or worse* if they let Tawni Ames live. I wish Cross hadn't killed her, I *really liked her.* (And I don't think Crosshair's a sociopath, *he was severely brainwashed & had a manipulated chip which was intact until after Bracca.)*
Am I the only one that noticed that the alarm sound that Crosshair gets up to is from The Force Unleashed?
The level detail on the blast marks, holy f uck balls!!
The chips might be wearing off
It was so funny to hear Roger Roger again 😂
So if you think about Cody learned from obi and obi was the one that says follow higher ups. Unlike 501 fights order and want to do what’s right
It really felt like a clone wars episode! it was so cool to see the droids and we definitely need a Bad Batch game ;)
NGL a Bad Batch game would be amazing. Fighting battle droids while playing as the bad batch each character having their alrdy unique skill set and playstyle.
The way I see it, if Rampart tells Crosshair he knows that the batch is alive, Crosshair would likely kill him to protect the others and no one would know, or Rampart would blackmail him, in Crosshair does what Rampart wants and Rampart won’t make his lie public, but Rampart keeping his knowledge secret is better for him, because he doesn’t want Crosshair around, and he likely knows that Crosshair would kill him to keep the secret, so it’s easier to have that info without Crosshair knowing so Rampart can use it later
I agree, the music in this was haunting, and def set the tone. It reminded me of the music in the last couple of Episodes of Rebels.
I think crosshair will leave the empire if they continue to treat him like a basic clone he sees himself better than regs but the empire doesn't care too much about individual soldiers just an huge army
Interesting detail - a lot of people say this is the best TBB episode so far, and one a lot of people point to as the _worst_ episode is 'Infested' (the one with the Pykes) in S1.
Both episodes have the same writer, Amanda Rose Munoz.
Cody just went through a nuanced version of the whole, "Are we the baddies?" thing. Poor guy and other clones are clearly breaking free from the chips, slowly but steadily, having to live with the guilt now. That plus the corruption and the general puppy kicking the Empire does right from the start would put off any good clone. The rot of the Empire being there right from the beginning shows how it was doomed before it even began, it kept making enemies by being dicks supreme and I guess to sum up, being evil in Star Wars sucks, because defeat is inevitable.
This is an Imperial version of the Muunlist 10 from the 2003 Clone Wars show.
7:20 The word you are looking for is "War Crime".
In Clone Wars: The Bad Batch they remeet. They knew each other before that
Rampart isn't going to address Clone Force 99 with Cross Hair because that means he has to admit that he didn't succeed in killing them. He didn't even want that other clone (I forget his name) to know about them even though he was going to change the report.
I always took an "inhibitor chip" to mean it inhibits individual, critical thinking, ie. you follow orders without questioning them. So in that moment, Cody didn't stop to think, "Why are we killing the Jedi?" He just followed the order. It's possible most clones didn't stop to think about what they'd done until after the fact, which is pretty tragic.
The way they did the droideka sound sounds amazing in headphones
This episode was my favorite of the series 👍🏼 so well written and the animation keeps getting better !!!
Omg it’s like classic Clone Wars, the clones battling the droids and it’s awesome seeing Cody again it’s been awhile since we last saw him and bruh Crosshair is one hell of a sniper
Crosshair showed how accurate he is as an assassin!! The bounce shots intense! Cody going awol shows how he told
Crosshair clones were defying Order 66. By executing the Governor cold blooded was the last straw. Loved how dark and intense this episode was!
I thought you were asking where DONKEY was and wondered how I missed the Shrek crossover! 🤣🤣🤣
17:05 occupations do this to find intel but history shows troops would go to civilian homes, take their resources/valuables or worst if you know what I mean.
I really hope we'll see Cody again so that we can hear about how he feels about Order 66 now, after what he saw on Desix.
Crosshair was stuck on that platform for 32 rotations, which is just over a month. They didn't even try to go back for him for over four weeks. And, he was stripped of his status as a commander plus Vice Admiral Dickhead probes him about his loyalty when he is likely the most loyal of them all, at least so he says.
Even if he believes in the Empire to a fault, he has got to be bitter about how they're treating him as the guy who does the dirty work while Dickhead doesn't give a damn.
If he defects it will not be because he doesn't believe in the Imperial way, it'll be because the iron within will rust due to being treated like an expendable pawn.
Ngl, feel like Rampart killed Cody secretly. Surely the Imperial reported to Rampart Cody’s refusal to follow orders. I’m think THAT was Ramparts reference to Clone loyalty
The way that Rampart mentions the other clones Disapearing makes me think that they are actually being just killed off by the Empire.
Omg yes! I hope he didn’t kill Cody 😢
The way Crosshair answered saying traitors like the Jedi is basically indicating to Cody that he’s too serious & not allowing to think for himself. The fact that he said that is wrong to Cody because that’s their brothers. They had served & fought with them just like every other clones only to be “traitor” for questioning their orders.
After Cody saw Crosshair executed her. It’s clear to Cody that he’s too far gone. Either Cody deserted or possibly murdered just cuz the governor saw him not complying with his order.
Like any good educated person, if you knew you’re company is making the wrong decisions. You resign cuz it’s not for the people anymore.
The only thing the microchip does is meant for the Jedi. Nothing more.
regarding 7:41 (which you kind of corrected), In the bad batch arc of the clone wars, Rex, Kix and Jesse are introduced to the bad batch by Cody. It's clear that he's worked with them before that, probably many times (Cody says "Seargent, good to see you again" to Hunter).
Did you forget that Cody and the Bad Batch Had an adventure with Rex, Jesse and Anakin. And they did know Cody before.
Tbf I did as well and I recently rewatched the Bad Batch arc in Clone Wars as well; where it was mentioned Clone Force 99 worked with Cody on some missions.
3:25 this may uodate. If anything if crosshair still stays with empire by end of s2 then he will kill rampart BUT ordered by tarkin. Despite tarkin views of clones he does want useful soldiers and see crosshair is a valuable asset while crosshair wants purpose as a soldier. Tarkin will give him that purpose.
Rampart has Crosshair caught in a lie... And he will use that to his advantage.
Great episode !
Great reaction as always guys😎👌
Best episode yet.
Haunting clone wars esque music made this epic as fuck.
👍From scotland
I hadn't been impressed with the first two episodes, but this one just knocks it out of the park. I hope this is the quality going forward.
I want to believe Crosshair shot the governor just to protect Cody
8:19
The way Cody reacts to Crosshair saying the Jedi were traitors....... I don't think his chip has been working for a while. I think he's just playing along
10:36 Now, I wonder if Crosshair could be a Grey Paladin? They were known for such accuracy as to shoot down the barrel of an enemy's gun/blaster. Though, Crosshair would probably be like a Dark Jedi to them, obviously.
Also, could you, or anyone translate any of the names on The War Memorial in this episode? Maybe, there are some Easter Eggs in those "names".
Felt like I was watching an episode of the clone wars. What a great episode!
If Rampart doesn't get a 3rd eye courtesy of CT9904 Crosshair, I will bet his plan to purge and discredit clones runs up against Vader and his 501st veterans.
Crosshair doesn't miss, he hit absolutely everything he aimed at... Tank squad droids should have taken a lesson from Silverado "today my Jurisdiction stops here".
Tank barrel shot not good enough for you? OK, hold my beer and throw this puck.🧐
mvp this episode was for sure nova. coming through with those perfect nades whenever needed
Tauny Ames voice actress is the same one That voiced Shaak Ti back in the clone wars during the clone conspiracy episode with Fives
To be honest my first thought about Cody's "desertion" was that: shit, they killed him. But maybe he truly left...
I suspect we will get an explanation/flashback from Cody on him going AWOL whenever he links up with the Bad Batch, hopefully will tell them about other things he witnessed that made him question his loyalty to the Empire
Can't trust the internet lol- BUT, I think it was posted somewhere it was 6 months since season 1.
Possible theories about Commander Cody he might've went AWOL to meet up with Rex, Gregor and Wolffe (which I hope we see how they all meet up) but I think he dies in the process. Or Cody meets up with The Bad Batch. But my last theory is it could be a manipulation by Admiral Rampart to find out what Crosshair know's about the Bad Batch.
Or Cody was killed when Rampart read the report from the governor
And as for the control chips I've always considered them to be a mix of several different bring washing things one the Clones had dreams that they consciously didn't remember and once they're under the influence of an activated chip they are almost either compelled to execute the order or in Rex's and Wrecker's case realize what's going on and attempting to fight it with little or no success as if their trapped in their own bodies as Observers
10/10 episode for me, a top 5 animated star wars episode of all time.
we are not done with Cody and crosshair. THEY WILL BE BACK FOR SURE IN FUTURE EPISODE
Missed the poll, but after seeing the episode my money's on Crosshair putting a lazer bolt in Rampart.
Don't forget, Cody also had the chip activated. That's why he could live with all that BS.
Tarkin is Dick Jones, and Rampart is Bob Morton.
From my understanding the order from the ship weared off a couple of months after order 66, because right after order 66 no clone acted like themselves, they acted cold and like droids, but the more the time went by we saw more clones start being themselves. So since Cody doesn't know about the ship he thinks that he made the choice killing Kenobi and now feels bad. It was clearly indicated that Cody was questioning the order, and I think them straight up murdering the governor was the breaking point for Cody. You could see how disappointed he was.
Wilco was killed on screen, maybe Cody was killed off screen and said to have went AWOL. Maybe the Vice Admiral is speeding up the phasing out of the Clones by killing them. Just thinking outside the box. Enjoying Bad Batch.
Cody was literally w Cross hair on Anaxas
The last, Far, the BEST chapter of the series so far and the funny thing is that the protagonists didn't even appear haha The truth is that good memories of clone wars brought me this chapter and more when I saw Cody and all the droids... (I was very bad when rampart said that he was missing 😔 I hope he hasn't died) .. I hope that all the chapters that come are similar
Some interesting moments in this episode. I get the feeling that crosshair executed the lady to help Cody. Rather than wait and see what happens. I also hope Cody has really gone awol. I imagine Wilko has also "gone awol" officially...
Is Crosshair a sociopath or was he sparing Cody from doing what he didn't want to do, Shooting the Governor? So he was actually saving Cody from Grotton.
Listen to how he says it... When I listened to how he really said it it made me think he killed Cody... like he killed Wilco...
Imagine Cody didn’t go awol rampart just said that and sends crosshair to go kill cody because he wouldn’t shoot the girl
