Wrecker knowing the exact parts from an AAT to use it as a mobile canon was some fleshing out I never thought he needed. He's not just comedic relief, he's a demolitions expert with the knowledge of enemy vehicles
Dooku taking wealth from his people is hypocritical, but sadly inevitable. He kept making compromises along the way in the name of greater good that he lost sight to the of his real goal. That happens all the time. It is similar to what happened to Anakin. Two people who became Sith for good reasons, but quickly lost sight of their original goals and became consumed by a lust for power. I like that, because it adds weight to the dangers of the dark side.
No. “Some of the people had a hard time with the reason that Anakin goes bad… They didn’t seem to understand the fact that Anakin is simply greedy. There is no revenge. The revenge of the Sith is Palpatine. It doesn’t have much to do with Darth Vader; he’s a pawn in the whole scheme.” -George Lucas, The Making of Revenge of the Sith
@@Mourtzouphlos240 GL can say that but the scripts and visuals of the movies, and even the Clone Wars series, tell a VERY different story. I don't care if he said that or not, there's clearly more than greed.
@@Mourtzouphlos240 I don’t think Anakin being greedy and initially having a good reason for turning to the dark side have to be two completely different things. Anakin was afraid Padme would die and turned to the dark side to save her. He believed saving his wife was a good reason. As he embraced the dark side more and more Anakin’s goals shifted to overthrowing the Emperor and ruling the galaxy alongside Padme. Anakin still had a good reason initially, but the lure of dark side got to him and became about obtaining power, which is greedy. It is similar to Dooku at least wanting to bring order to the galaxy before losing his way and becoming the corruption he wanted to destroy.

Echo too! He had a nice moment with omega. I’m glad that it’s not just the wrecker and hunter show, and that we’re exploring more of the team’s call to action versus self-preservation
I like the way Wilco was written. He was 100% loyal to the Empire, but you could tell that he was still a good guy at heart, who cared for his brothers. One thing I feared when this show started was that they would make all clone captains into mindless evil killers. I am happy to see that the writers are not afraid to show clones that are still the same guys we saw in TCW, but are just doing their job. There was no forced redemption story either. Wilco was not killed for betraying the Empire. He was killed for actually following the orders that the Empire had given him.
Romar is voiced by the same guy who voiced none other than Wan Shi Tong, the owl spirit who created the huge library in the desert from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Edit: I'm surprised that never came up in Calvin's search after the episode.
A foolish officer. That was unable to see what would come next. He was told of threat concerning the other guys life and ignored it, even turned his back to him. If I was the other guy I would do the same. But yes a capable officer I had interest in. But his own self righteousness was his downfall
@@TheTruth-13 Then by your logic eddard stark was foolish too. Standing for your morals and integrity isnt necessarily bad, at least in my opinion. It’s foolhardy maybe but he was sanding for his duty and honor. I applaud him for that. I’d also argue that the empire is something most clones are unaccustomed to. No officer or Jedi in the republic days would go as far as to execute/murder a trooper for any form of disobedience. Krell was an exception but you wouldn’t even expect Tarkin to do it.
@@acdragonrider What? Eddard absolutely was foolish, how did you not understand that? Like, that's literally the entire thing about Ned, Honorable to a fault and a dullard.
@@TheTruth-13 He was not told of any threat on Rampart's life. Rampart calmly said that if CF-99 was alive he would be "at risk". Clearly Wilco understood that to mean that his career track would be at risk (considering Rampart is an up-and-coming Imperial officer who has just begun to make a name for himself with a few high profile accomplishments, like implementing chain codes), not his life. And it's not in any way foolish to believe that your commanding officer would listen to reason and see that the rules and protocol must be upheld. Even a slightly more reasonable and less cutthroat man would not have resorted to assassinating a Captain just to keep one misstep under wraps. It wasn't self-righteousness that was Wilco's downfall, it was tragic naivety about Rampart's willingness to abuse his power and authority, and the lengths he would go to secure his position.
These episodes were exactly what I needed. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Andor, but it could sometimes be a lot and often involved heavy topics. These episodes touched on some big topics, sure, but they felt more like just a fun Star Wars adventure. They made me smile, and that’s good enough for me.
I think that’s why they had Andor and Tales of the Jedi release pretty close, so we can have the more experimental story and an exploration of familiar but also great story, it’s a win win
@@TheTruth-13 lol he comparing adult show with kids show Clone Wars is good but bad batch is just boring. Even those two episodes were just random, not even Crosshair was there. Just another random mission.
@@busydarthnooox8290 “good” “bad” “boring” my name is the truth. Not the subjective opinion. Tell that to someone else. It does nothing for me because it’s imaginary
@@TheTruth-13 Just so. So many people think that just because they are entitled to their opinion, that means we have an obligation to pay attention to it. "The man said to the universe 'Sir, I exist'!" "The universe replied, "That fact, sir, does not inspire in me any sense of obligation'."
It’s so great to have The Bad Batch back! It’d be very nice to get some animated Jango flashbacks. My favorite Star Wars character who deserves more content. Omega could resemble Jango’s sister Arla and Temuera’s late sister Taini, which would be really cool IMO. A brother/sister Fett duo is what I’m hoping for down the road. Omega can take up the Fett name and wear the original classic white Fett armor/helmet , which was an Easter Egg in Season 1 of The Bad Batch. It’s possible that Jango knew about Omega, but kept her with Nala Se because he didn’t want her following in the same dangerous path as he and Boba. It’d be poetic if Boba and Omega meet for the first time on Geonosis, where Jango was killed.
I do hope Omega meets Boba at some point, because the sheer variety of how their first meeting could go is just too good to pass up. Like, you could have Boba be intrigued by Omega, or you could do the 'Trapped Together, But One Of Them Wants Nothing To Do With The Other'
I’m mixed on this episode, but it’s mostly positive. This episode didn’t feel like a premiere much, felt like something we’d see mid-season but that doesn’t mean it was bad. The episode had a pretty solid start and a great ending. I can definitely see it building up to something big with Rampart hiding TBB’s survival, looking very forward to seeing that. One thing I really enjoyed in these episodes is Echo and Tech. Season 1 was severely lacking in content for them, this premiere however is the opposite. I’m really happy they got more screen time and we got more insight on their characters. Overall I’d give this premiere a solid 8/10. It wasn’t anything special but it was still good. Hopefully we’ll see more Echo and Tech in the coming episodes.
What a great start to the beginning of Bad Batch Season 2!!!!!! I also felt it was nice as I think we hardly got much Echo & Omega interaction+development from season 1, but that was remedied thanks to these episodes. Moreover definitely that Rampart will be the series antagonist/one to kill since they can't really make it tarkin
I love that the empire clones as antagonists were written to be smart and resourceful. They were only outmatched by the Batch's level of skill and some really good luck.
I’m choosing to watch this show as if I was a 10 year old again watching clone wars and man…Space Pirate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Star Wars looking as beautiful as it does. It’s honestly made the show so much more fun and I’m so excited for kids getting their own clone wars stories to grow up with, and Omega’s backstory and character have really grown on me now that she’s found some confidence. Love this show! Didn’t realize I’d miss it this much
@@Im_Ish Happened last season 2 when they picking them up from the Stormtrooper training facility, Wrecker swoops in on the Maurader just blasting them with lethal shots whereas the rest of the Batch were using stuns.
Wrecker also was shooting at the environment (at one point a cliff side) to distract / scatter the troopers and throw them off their game. They don’t want to kill brothers who are still inhibited as much as possible, even using the tank gun, unless there’s no other option to survive.
Theses first two episodes of the Bad Batch were amazing! I loved them both so much. It’s so great to finally be back watching new episodes of this show. And of course the animation is stunning and super beautiful, especially in the opening scene of that beach planet. The coloring used on the environments in these episodes are just so visually pleasing and amazing. And it was great to see the Bad Batch in action again, all the action scenes in these episodes were so awesome. I think that all of the character’s new designs look really cool too. Not only do they look like they are trying to blend in more, but the busted up, mix matched and weathered armor really makes it look like the Batch has been scrounging for awhile. I also loved that Echo is finally being more fleshed and given more character development unlike in the majority of season one. And it was really great to get to see Serenno again for the first time since Clone Wars Season 6. I also really liked the old man they met there, not only was he such a nice character but he was able to advance the plot and have such great interactions with Omega and Tech. And from just these first two episodes I am already loving the story that they are going with for the show, they are showing how even now the Batch’s views on certain things are still being changed and altered by the changing galaxy around them. And how there is starting to be a divide in their ideals, whereas Echo thinks that they should be doing more to stop the Empire and to help others, Hunter wants to lay low and stay off the Empire’s radar in order to get a future for the Batch. And I can’t really explain why, but I really liked Captain Wilco, especially when he stood up against Rampart for trying to silence him on his sighting of the Bad Batch. And it just made it even sadder when Rampart killed him, and we had to see as his body fell off into the forest below. Anyway, I cannot wait to see next week’s episode, I am very curious to see where the story will take the Bad Batch next. P.S. I loved to see AZ again, and how he has become the waiter at Cid’s bar.
Wilco was super capable and threw everything he had at the batch. That’s what made me like him. All the way down to all the military slang he used. Sitrep for instance. Calling in air support… and then believing in doing the right thing and not being afraid to voice his objections. He was an og
It's pretty amazing we are getting Star Wars content weekly until around mid-April. Exciting year for Star Wars, hope it's good! Been waiting years to see more of what clones were up to post Order 66.
All this discussion of valuables has me thinking about Thrawn's collection. I wonder how much of it is monetarily valuable versus valuable in his eyes due to its cultural significance, like Hera's kalikori. I doubt Sabine's work is worth anything, but he has quite a Sabine Wren collection, probably more than anyone besides Sabine herself. Luthen's collection seems to be exclusively monetary worth. And that worth is based on rarity rather than cultural significance. Since the Empire is wiping out whole worlds, a piece of art from any dead civilization is probably worth a lot. Rampart's living on borrowed time. He might have just gotten fired if he were to report immediately to Tarkin, but since he's trying to cover up his failure, Tarkin is eventually going to find out and destroy him. But with Crosshair being still alive and now it's starting to be known that Clone Force 99 is still alive, I feel like that puts Crosshair in danger, as well, if he failed to mention they survived. I think what made Jango Fett the chosen clone template was his natural fighting talent, and that's why Boba and Omega, the unaltered clones are decent fighters. Omega wasn't a good shot when she first got the bow, so she had to learn. We are getting into a bit of a nature v. nurture discussion here. I think Jango Fett and all of his clones have a natural fighting talent, and then the clones were all raised as soldiers, and that's why they are so superior to pretty much any other army in Star Wars. But say a pacifist got their hands on a Jango clone baby and raised it totally away from war. I think it would still be athletic, a good pilot, maybe a good strategist, etc. but it probably wouldn't be a good fighter if it never got any training.
There’s a guy called Kyle Katarn (named after Kyle Katarn) on TH-cam. Him and Blindwave are the only people I trust with Star Wars opinions. I recommend his channel. His knowledge of Star Wars is insane.
So, a couple notes: 1) Serrenian is basically serene which was the message to Omega to chose Happiness over riches, it wasn't about the toy as much as that the toy makes you happy. Though it seemed like the toy may have had a symbol in it that flashed by the upper left corner and I'm wondering if there isn't something hidden in it. 2) Its hard to hear the name Wilco without hearing the phrase "roger wilco over and out" which I felt was the thematic pun that foreshadows Captain Wilco's fate. 3) I think the archive will come in later. I have to wonder if the old man is Dooku's father or some other relative.
@@onenerd9573 Ok. I wasn't sure how timeline worked with Dooku. Would the old man's age work as being a son or younger brother? I'm wondering if the archive might include something about heredity and therefore give the old man a claim to power or something like that. I can almost see a story arc along those lines where the toy comes back into play later if Omega has to convince him that the power and riches he is seeking aren't going to make him happy.
The Bad Batch has the struggle of coming just before and I assume airing during the Mandalorian which can make it harder on them to get viewers so it has to prove itself early on and I definitely think it did in these two episodes.
To add on to this, Bad Batch is weekly until March, at the same time, Mandalorian will be airing the same day. It's set to anyways, I imagine they will change it to Mandalorian on Fridays possibly while Bad Batch stays on Wednesdays but we will see. If we continue going as is, Mandalorian 3x1 will air March 1st the same time as Bad Batch 2x11. Both will be on the same day from there until March 29th where the Bad Batch has its finale. I definitely think Mandalorian should be switched to Friday instead
I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes as it really sets up something big for episode 3. Give me next Wednesday, y’all, it’s so cool to see Omega being her own girl in terms of combat/new look. At end of the second episode, it really shows that the empire aren’t giving a Kriff to any clone at this point.
If Rampart and the Empire thought the Bad Batch died on Kamino that means Crosshair never told them what happened to cover for them or it means the empire just never went back to pick him up lol
I’m thinking Crosshair covered for them as final goodwill and to close out that chapter of his life. Even if they left him behind, there’s no way crosshair wouldn’t find his way back to serve the empire. Now, Crosshair will probably both be an antagonist while he himself gets antagonized by the empire he is happy to be a part of.
BUT didn't you guys see the image that was inside that "toy" kaleidoscope Romar gave Omega?? ........ because I DID. It was a map of the World Between Worlds. 🤫
@Blind Wave, 1:29 Omega is a clone. Like her brother Boba, she's pure first generation clone, though altered to be female. Like Boba and her other brothers, she has inherent combat abilities. All she needs is training, which she's getting. She came across as a Jedi last season because she knew things about them they didn't know she knew--she's their little older sister. As Nala Se's assistant, she was part of the planning process that birthed Clone Force 99, she knows their specialties, quirks and whatnot because she was there when they were being programmed. As Nala Se's assistant, she was likely privy to Jango's training videos left behind for the Clones to study. While she may or may not have practiced that was shown, she had 13 years of watching her brothers going through the process over and over again. Omega's not Force sensitive, she just knows a lot about the past because she was there from the beginning. She's called Omega because she's the last of the naturally grown clones. Boba was the first, which is why the Kaminoans called him Alpha--Jango named him Boba. Boba spent 10 years with Jango on Kamino, so he got to learn first hand from his dad, as well as from others like Cad Bane. Now we get to see Omega learn how to be an elite fighter from Clone Force 99. Makes you wonder if we'll get to see Omega in a future live action project someday, coming face to face with Boba or Din Djarin.
It’s my own head cannon now that the clones aging had something to do with the chip in their heads. So if the chip is removed then the accelerating aging slows down. Idk how that would work, but it makes sense in my head.
I didn’t even think about the fact that the Empire thinking that Clone Force 99 is all dead likely means Crosshair didn’t return to the Empire and told them what happened, will be very interested to know what happens with his plot line.
Since we've seen Crosshair working with Cody and the Imperials in the trailers, it's more likely Crosshair simply lied and said he lost track of them when Tipolca City was destroyed. Which creates its own questions.
I’m thinking Crosshair covered for them as final goodwill and to close out that chapter of his life. Even if they left him behind, there’s no way crosshair wouldn’t find his way back to serve the empire. Now, he will both be an antagonist while he himself gets antagonized by the empire he is happy to be a part of. Maybe he is paired with Cody so he can keep an eye on crosshair.
46:16 yes, i belive the the old man was just a random cilvilan,but its weird they didn't introduce anyone else after he implied there was more of his ppl🤔
Omega is not wearing gloves how are her hands not hurt? I was thinking Tech was going to loss his leg & need a droid one. Omega blaming herself for the Batch not having a normal life: they're clones of a Mandalorian bounty hunter & were bread for nothing more than to be soldiers - they've never had a normal life. Rampart fears Tarkin finding out about Clone Force 99 survival & now we'll never get that Captain Wilco redemption arc. They're thinking of Captain Howzer.
I'm not going to try and explain Omega's hands not getting shredded any more than Batman and Spiderman don't get their fingers cut off by the stronger than steel twine-width lines they swing on (gloves wouldn't help much). But Omega obviously meant "use the money to get enough protection and anonymity to live a MORE normal life, without getting chased and shot at every week".
The thing I most loved about these episodes was the sorely needed fleshing out and depth for Echo as a Bad Batch member as especially Tech. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the first time we've seen Tech get seriously injured besides when Wrecker had order 66 activated. I appreciated the balance spread throughout the team members here quite alot and shows that ALL the squad members really do care for Omega as much as any of their other members.
Pretty sure the guy who voiced that Cerrano dude also did the owl Wa Shi Tong in Avatar The Last Airbender. It seemed very familiar to me then I realized how it sounded similar! Dave Filoni worked on both series so he might've brought him in to do the voice for that guy.
I love how Star Wars has been leaning into the comical realism and not just super action fantasy: the clone just falling into the container when stunned, the pirates 2 intro beach chase, not done falling. It is cool to see more of the “enemy” background. My only complaint is that it was too short. These episodes felt like it should have been one big episode and then have a standard run time ep 2. Also I do hope that they flush out why omega is so important.. I’d like to see that she’s force sensitive, but where would she fit into the og trilogy/mando era?? Maybe a fallen order situation 👀
Watching this 1st episode then remembering the timeline it would be an amazing arc in Jedi survivor or the next game after. If there’s a mission arc working with a 10 year older Bad Batch team!!!
When Rampart killed Wilco, it made me gasped. Did not expect such a cruel act happening this early. Poor trooper was just being honest with his reports and doing what felt necessary. F for Captain Wilco.
This might just be hopeful completely out there theorizing but I think Serenno with the destroyed city and perhaps old clone wars equipment could be where some refugee Clones end up hiding out. I could see a situation where Rex has successfully freed hundreds of Clones and has been secretly moving them around the Galaxy (possibly not all in one place) then the Bad Batch return to Serenno after being contacted by the old guy and they work out a deal where the Refugee Clones work to rebuild the palace and the city then perhaps they eventually use it as a base of operations if a Clone Rebellion breaks out (which could be easily covered up in the empire as a Serenno revolt put down)
I love how we got to explore echo and tech more that was missing the last season. It's also great to see that they finally gave the LAAT's green front canon fire, only tool them 14 years haha
You know who would be a cool antagonist for this show? The Delta Squadron survivors. Being playable characters in a good game they come packed with the expectation that they are a serious force to be reckoned with and it would give some closure to the ending of the game.
I have a feeling Wilco in his subconscious was realizing how evil the Empire really was and was breaking through. Their programming tell them good soldiers follow orders, but 2 different orders are coming from the exact same side that they were programmed to follow, and it might be breaking the chip. That's just my head-canon explanation.
It was a very short shot, but I was really touched by the scene of Wilco checking a dead trooper from Wrecker's rampage after they escaped. Really highlighted how Wrecker flipped the script and didn't hesitate to kill their "old comrades" to save each other
While "good soldiers follow orders", They also do not follow illegal orders. Rampart's order was corrupt and fraudulent. Not telling all of the truth is not the same as blatant falsehoods. Loyalty to the Empire ( The obligation to provide accurate information) takes precedence over loyalty to an individual attempting to CYA.
Star Wars is back, baby! I missed the Bad Batch so much especially want to see more development for Omega! Hey Aaron is the first person who pronounced my Twitter name correctly on the first try lol! Awesome thanks for answering my question. Naboo would be cool.. We see some of that in the Vader comics, but so much later than this time period. Always interesting to see places we know during different times
When that girl in the beginning of episode one calls tech brown eyes it’s a call back to the mandalorian 2x7 when bill bur character says we call him brown eyes.
It's Captain Howzer, clone with the best hair too😁😁😁😁😁 I have a feeling every character we've seen so far, in 1 or 2 episodes, will come back somehow in the current season or maybe a future season. Bcoz I noticed Romar's vest looks similar to what TBB are wearing in the trailer (where Rex asks for their assistance). I also don't think season 1 was the last time we'll see Fennec Shand or Cad Bane or even Roland Duran. Romar left an "imprint" on Tech & Omega, there's no way we're never seeing him again. Oh & Captain Wilco has the most interestingly ironic clone name (I'm an army brat & also did ROTC so I've heard their codes/abbreviations almost my entire life) ~ he followed & complied with all orders given to him until the end. And when he stood his ground & refused to falsify his report regarding Clone Force 99, he's killed without hesitation. By now Rampart must've murdered numerous other clones... I don't like crosshair so much. But now that rampart knows he lied about TBB deaths, I can only imagine what he might order Crosshair to do against his brothers. I think this season we'll get an actual Crosshair centric arc. I'm excited for it bcoz I really want to know how his story continues or ends. And I really think he deserves a redemption, especially after finding out he protected his brothers by lying (that they survived the destruction of Tipoca City).
Reminder that wrecker is a demolitions expert. What he did with the canon is not only in character and possible but kinda expected. Shows the batch aren’t one trick ponies. Mind you he did that under pressure and heavy fire for clones. I really to see people claim wrecker is nothing more than “big idiot” after this.
61:11 When *Omega* stayed behind and played the strategy game, she outright said she had the same augmentations regarding stradegy. No reason to assume that's all there was.
all they had to do in the first episode was use the comm of the passed out clone to say something and the mission would have gone smoother... they literally have the same freaking voice

@@TheTruth-13 He was not told of any threat on Rampart's life. Rampart calmly said that if CF-99 was alive he would be "at risk". Clearly Wilco understood that to mean that his career track would be at risk (considering Rampart is an up-and-coming Imperial officer who has just begun to make a name for himself with a few high profile accomplishments, like implementing chain codes), not his life. And it's not in any way foolish to believe that your commanding officer would listen to reason and see that the rules and protocol must be upheld. Even a slightly more reasonable and less cutthroat man would not have resorted to assassinating a Captain just to keep one misstep under wraps. It wasn't self-righteousness that was Wilco's downfall, it was tragic naivety about Rampart's willingness to abuse his power and authority, and the lengths he would go to secure his position.
@@acdragonrider he obviously had an inability to read the situation. And so do you
These episodes were exactly what I needed. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Andor, but it could sometimes be a lot and often involved heavy topics. These episodes touched on some big topics, sure, but they felt more like just a fun Star Wars adventure. They made me smile, and that’s good enough for me.
I think that’s why they had Andor and Tales of the Jedi release pretty close, so we can have the more experimental story and an exploration of familiar but also great story, it’s a win win
Andor has nothing to do with this
@@TheTruth-13 lol he comparing adult show with kids show
Clone Wars is good but bad batch is just boring. Even those two episodes were just random, not even Crosshair was there. Just another random mission.
@@busydarthnooox8290 “good” “bad” “boring” my name is the truth. Not the subjective opinion. Tell that to someone else. It does nothing for me because it’s imaginary
@@TheTruth-13 Just so. So many people think that just because they are entitled to their opinion, that means we have an obligation to pay attention to it.
"The man said to the universe 'Sir, I exist'!"
"The universe replied, "That fact, sir, does not inspire in me any sense of obligation'."
Captain Wilco’s treatment at the end is what we call “Imperial Brain Drain”
I enjoyed this premiere and I can't wait for more. I've seen others not be too excited by these episodes, but I felt really drawn in to both episodes.
Love that they made the enemy captain likable and effective, helps make us hate the officer who kills him more.
2 episodes in one reaction? That’s gotta be so awesome.
The Bad Batch is back!
The Calvary Has Arrived Once Again
The episodes released at the same time
It’s so great to have The Bad Batch back! It’d be very nice to get some animated Jango flashbacks. My favorite Star Wars character who deserves more content. Omega could resemble Jango’s sister Arla and Temuera’s late sister Taini, which would be really cool IMO. A brother/sister Fett duo is what I’m hoping for down the road. Omega can take up the Fett name and wear the original classic white Fett armor/helmet , which was an Easter Egg in Season 1 of The Bad Batch. It’s possible that Jango knew about Omega, but kept her with Nala Se because he didn’t want her following in the same dangerous path as he and Boba. It’d be poetic if Boba and Omega meet for the first time on Geonosis, where Jango was killed.
Did you say "Jango flashbacks"?
(Pulls out bacta tank)
I do hope Omega meets Boba at some point, because the sheer variety of how their first meeting could go is just too good to pass up. Like, you could have Boba be intrigued by Omega, or you could do the 'Trapped Together, But One Of Them Wants Nothing To Do With The Other'
I love the cargo transports. "Wait a minute, we don't have to just use the top of the ship, we can use THE WHOLE SHIP!"
The Dee Bradley Baker joke never gets old.😄
"I make a pretty good tank" 🤣
I’m mixed on this episode, but it’s mostly positive. This episode didn’t feel like a premiere much, felt like something we’d see mid-season but that doesn’t mean it was bad. The episode had a pretty solid start and a great ending. I can definitely see it building up to something big with Rampart hiding TBB’s survival, looking very forward to seeing that.
One thing I really enjoyed in these episodes is Echo and Tech. Season 1 was severely lacking in content for them, this premiere however is the opposite. I’m really happy they got more screen time and we got more insight on their characters.
Overall I’d give this premiere a solid 8/10. It wasn’t anything special but it was still good. Hopefully we’ll see more Echo and Tech in the coming episodes.
Dave listened to criticism, perhaps.
@@liamphibia I don't think Dave's actively working on this show any more than Resistance
Your rating changes nothing about the show. Pointless
@@TheTruth-13 Okay and? I just wanted to share my opinion
Yeah, they were good episodes, but compared to the premier of season 1 felt kind of dull, like episodes you would see half way through.
What a great start to the beginning of Bad Batch Season 2!!!!!!
I also felt it was nice as I think we hardly got much Echo & Omega interaction+development from season 1, but that was remedied thanks to these episodes.
Moreover definitely that Rampart will be the series antagonist/one to kill since they can't really make it tarkin
20:09 Calvin had no idea exactly how accurate he was...
The Blind Batch is BACK
echo and tech getting that screentime, glad they listened
When your watching a Bad Batch reaction and your battery life is at 99%
I love that the empire clones as antagonists were written to be smart and resourceful. They were only outmatched by the Batch's level of skill and some really good luck.
I think the reason they're using stun setting is because of what Rex said in season 1.. "I don't want to bury anymore of my brothers!"
I always thought it was when they found out clones were being controlled against their will by their inhibitor chips.
I’m choosing to watch this show as if I was a 10 year old again watching clone wars and man…Space Pirate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Star Wars looking as beautiful as it does. It’s honestly made the show so much more fun and I’m so excited for kids getting their own clone wars stories to grow up with, and Omega’s backstory and character have really grown on me now that she’s found some confidence.
Love this show! Didn’t realize I’d miss it this much
I feel like blind wave has spent the most time on this channel in the episode 3-4 era of Star Wars. Glad Star Wars Wednesdays are back!
RIP Captain Wilco 😭😭
Wrecker is like Batman. He has a code of not killing people but kills people anyway.
The Hunter stun blaster and Wrecker cannon seemed a bit counter productive.
@@Im_Ish Happened last season 2 when they picking them up from the Stormtrooper training facility, Wrecker swoops in on the Maurader just blasting them with lethal shots whereas the rest of the Batch were using stuns.
Wrecker also was shooting at the environment (at one point a cliff side) to distract / scatter the troopers and throw them off their game.
They don’t want to kill brothers who are still inhibited as much as possible, even using the tank gun, unless there’s no other option to survive.
Theses first two episodes of the Bad Batch were amazing! I loved them both so much. It’s so great to finally be back watching new episodes of this show. And of course the animation is stunning and super beautiful, especially in the opening scene of that beach planet. The coloring used on the environments in these episodes are just so visually pleasing and amazing. And it was great to see the Bad Batch in action again, all the action scenes in these episodes were so awesome. I think that all of the character’s new designs look really cool too. Not only do they look like they are trying to blend in more, but the busted up, mix matched and weathered armor really makes it look like the Batch has been scrounging for awhile. I also loved that Echo is finally being more fleshed and given more character development unlike in the majority of season one. And it was really great to get to see Serenno again for the first time since Clone Wars Season 6. I also really liked the old man they met there, not only was he such a nice character but he was able to advance the plot and have such great interactions with Omega and Tech. And from just these first two episodes I am already loving the story that they are going with for the show, they are showing how even now the Batch’s views on certain things are still being changed and altered by the changing galaxy around them. And how there is starting to be a divide in their ideals, whereas Echo thinks that they should be doing more to stop the Empire and to help others, Hunter wants to lay low and stay off the Empire’s radar in order to get a future for the Batch. And I can’t really explain why, but I really liked Captain Wilco, especially when he stood up against Rampart for trying to silence him on his sighting of the Bad Batch. And it just made it even sadder when Rampart killed him, and we had to see as his body fell off into the forest below. Anyway, I cannot wait to see next week’s episode, I am very curious to see where the story will take the Bad Batch next.
P.S. I loved to see AZ again, and how he has become the waiter at Cid’s bar.
Wilco was super capable and threw everything he had at the batch. That’s what made me like him. All the way down to all the military slang he used. Sitrep for instance. Calling in air support… and then believing in doing the right thing and not being afraid to voice his objections.
He was an og
The use of lighting when they transition in and out of the shade and the light reflecting off the visors are really nice touches.
It's pretty amazing we are getting Star Wars content weekly until around mid-April. Exciting year for Star Wars, hope it's good!
Been waiting years to see more of what clones were up to post Order 66.
All this discussion of valuables has me thinking about Thrawn's collection. I wonder how much of it is monetarily valuable versus valuable in his eyes due to its cultural significance, like Hera's kalikori. I doubt Sabine's work is worth anything, but he has quite a Sabine Wren collection, probably more than anyone besides Sabine herself. Luthen's collection seems to be exclusively monetary worth. And that worth is based on rarity rather than cultural significance. Since the Empire is wiping out whole worlds, a piece of art from any dead civilization is probably worth a lot.
Rampart's living on borrowed time. He might have just gotten fired if he were to report immediately to Tarkin, but since he's trying to cover up his failure, Tarkin is eventually going to find out and destroy him. But with Crosshair being still alive and now it's starting to be known that Clone Force 99 is still alive, I feel like that puts Crosshair in danger, as well, if he failed to mention they survived.
I think what made Jango Fett the chosen clone template was his natural fighting talent, and that's why Boba and Omega, the unaltered clones are decent fighters. Omega wasn't a good shot when she first got the bow, so she had to learn. We are getting into a bit of a nature v. nurture discussion here. I think Jango Fett and all of his clones have a natural fighting talent, and then the clones were all raised as soldiers, and that's why they are so superior to pretty much any other army in Star Wars. But say a pacifist got their hands on a Jango clone baby and raised it totally away from war. I think it would still be athletic, a good pilot, maybe a good strategist, etc. but it probably wouldn't be a good fighter if it never got any training.
Blind Wave literally is the greatest star wars reactors. Don't trust no one else opinions on star wars but these guys.
There’s a guy called Kyle Katarn (named after Kyle Katarn) on TH-cam. Him and Blindwave are the only people I trust with Star Wars opinions. I recommend his channel. His knowledge of Star Wars is insane.
@@MakingSomeTea Kyle is an awsome guy. And he is a Blind Wave fan too.
True true. I mean Eric’s true love is Star Wars the clone wars after all!
the Reel Rejects, have some create commmentary on Star Wars shows.
So glad we're back watching the Bad Batch with you guys!
Yeah baby yeah!
So, a couple notes:
1) Serrenian is basically serene which was the message to Omega to chose Happiness over riches, it wasn't about the toy as much as that the toy makes you happy. Though it seemed like the toy may have had a symbol in it that flashed by the upper left corner and I'm wondering if there isn't something hidden in it.
2) Its hard to hear the name Wilco without hearing the phrase "roger wilco over and out" which I felt was the thematic pun that foreshadows Captain Wilco's fate.
3) I think the archive will come in later. I have to wonder if the old man is Dooku's father or some other relative.
He could be related but given Dooku's age his dad would have to be ancient. Like over 100 years old. So, I don't think it's him.
@@onenerd9573 Ok. I wasn't sure how timeline worked with Dooku. Would the old man's age work as being a son or younger brother? I'm wondering if the archive might include something about heredity and therefore give the old man a claim to power or something like that. I can almost see a story arc along those lines where the toy comes back into play later if Omega has to convince him that the power and riches he is seeking aren't going to make him happy.
I was wondering, he had a similar look to Dooku, but I chalked it up to just how people on that planet look
@@arthurclifford8290 I believe Dooku did have children, not sure if its canon though. But he could definitely be a son.
Really loving this season so far. They upped the game a lot
"what if they land on a mountainside" "what if he gets crushed" "that's gonna spill"
you did this
The Bad Batch has the struggle of coming just before and I assume airing during the Mandalorian which can make it harder on them to get viewers so it has to prove itself early on and I definitely think it did in these two episodes.
And it’s coming off the back of Andor which was amazing
It already proven itself in season 1
To add on to this, Bad Batch is weekly until March, at the same time, Mandalorian will be airing the same day. It's set to anyways, I imagine they will change it to Mandalorian on Fridays possibly while Bad Batch stays on Wednesdays but we will see.
If we continue going as is, Mandalorian 3x1 will air March 1st the same time as Bad Batch 2x11. Both will be on the same day from there until March 29th where the Bad Batch has its finale.
I definitely think Mandalorian should be switched to Friday instead
@@NorthernLaw_ Mando in Fridays again would be great. Nothing like watching a new episode to start the weekend.
@@NorthernLaw_ I don't see them moving the Mando to fridays
I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes as it really sets up something big for episode 3.
Give me next Wednesday, y’all, it’s so cool to see Omega being her own girl in terms of combat/new look. At end of the second episode, it really shows that the empire aren’t giving a Kriff to any clone at this point.
Thank you for inviting Rick over to react first two episodes of The Bad Batch: Season 2.
I love that they gave Dooku one more ridiculous escape method :)
As always, it's nice to have you Guys back, watching Star Wars.
Ah I'm so happy now that we're back with Star Wars content every Wednesday with you guys!!! Can't wait for all the amazing stuff to come!
Been waiting for this! Excited to experience Star Wars weekly with you until May or June!
Happy to see i wasn't the only one who had to think of Indiana Jones with Omega xD
Gah I could listen to y’all talk about Star Wars all day haha it feels like I’m just sitting down with friends :)
If Rampart and the Empire thought the Bad Batch died on Kamino that means Crosshair never told them what happened to cover for them or it means the empire just never went back to pick him up lol
I’m thinking Crosshair covered for them as final goodwill and to close out that chapter of his life. Even if they left him behind, there’s no way crosshair wouldn’t find his way back to serve the empire. Now, Crosshair will probably both be an antagonist while he himself gets antagonized by the empire he is happy to be a part of.
Nemik and Tech. What a difference a change in genre can make.
BUT didn't you guys see the image that was inside that "toy" kaleidoscope Romar gave Omega?? ........ because I DID.
It was a map of the World Between Worlds. 🤫
That Begining Island animation was clean af
Captain Wilco didn't deserve that... 😭😭😭
eh he kinda did
The last thing you want to see is Wreker coming at you with a tank canon
@Blind Wave,
1:29 Omega is a clone. Like her brother Boba, she's pure first generation clone, though altered to be female. Like Boba and her other brothers, she has inherent combat abilities. All she needs is training, which she's getting. She came across as a Jedi last season because she knew things about them they didn't know she knew--she's their little older sister. As Nala Se's assistant, she was part of the planning process that birthed Clone Force 99, she knows their specialties, quirks and whatnot because she was there when they were being programmed. As Nala Se's assistant, she was likely privy to Jango's training videos left behind for the Clones to study. While she may or may not have practiced that was shown, she had 13 years of watching her brothers going through the process over and over again.
Omega's not Force sensitive, she just knows a lot about the past because she was there from the beginning. She's called Omega because she's the last of the naturally grown clones. Boba was the first, which is why the Kaminoans called him Alpha--Jango named him Boba. Boba spent 10 years with Jango on Kamino, so he got to learn first hand from his dad, as well as from others like Cad Bane. Now we get to see Omega learn how to be an elite fighter from Clone Force 99. Makes you wonder if we'll get to see Omega in a future live action project someday, coming face to face with Boba or Din Djarin.
26:49 The music played by Kevin Kiner here convinced me that Tech was going to be killed and I was so glad when they all got away at the end.
Didn’t convince me, felt more heroic
It’s my own head cannon now that the clones aging had something to do with the chip in their heads.
So if the chip is removed then the accelerating aging slows down. Idk how that would work, but it makes sense in my head.
I didn’t even think about the fact that the Empire thinking that Clone Force 99 is all dead likely means Crosshair didn’t return to the Empire and told them what happened, will be very interested to know what happens with his plot line.
Since we've seen Crosshair working with Cody and the Imperials in the trailers, it's more likely Crosshair simply lied and said he lost track of them when Tipolca City was destroyed.
Which creates its own questions.
@@kenle2 Forgot about that
I’m thinking Crosshair covered for them as final goodwill and to close out that chapter of his life. Even if they left him behind, there’s no way crosshair wouldn’t find his way back to serve the empire. Now, he will both be an antagonist while he himself gets antagonized by the empire he is happy to be a part of.
Maybe he is paired with Cody so he can keep an eye on crosshair.
46:16 yes, i belive the the old man was just a random cilvilan,but its weird they didn't introduce anyone else after he implied there was more of his ppl🤔
For whatever reason I had no idea the premier was today. Happiness Unbound
Omega is not wearing gloves how are her hands not hurt? I was thinking Tech was going to loss his leg & need a droid one. Omega blaming herself for the Batch not having a normal life: they're clones of a Mandalorian bounty hunter & were bread for nothing more than to be soldiers - they've never had a normal life. Rampart fears Tarkin finding out about Clone Force 99 survival & now we'll never get that Captain Wilco redemption arc. They're thinking of Captain Howzer.
I'm not going to try and explain Omega's hands not getting shredded any more than Batman and Spiderman don't get their fingers cut off by the stronger than steel twine-width lines they swing on (gloves wouldn't help much).
But Omega obviously meant "use the money to get enough protection and anonymity to live a MORE normal life, without getting chased and shot at every week".
i watch blind wave because its like watching stuff with friends
The thing I most loved about these episodes was the sorely needed fleshing out and depth for Echo as a Bad Batch member as especially Tech. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the first time we've seen Tech get seriously injured besides when Wrecker had order 66 activated. I appreciated the balance spread throughout the team members here quite alot and shows that ALL the squad members really do care for Omega as much as any of their other members.
Tech trying not to be a chad for one minute challenge:
immpossible
Wait … so ‘kilograms’ are now units of measure in the galaxy far far away?
as it should be
We did see Naboo after the prequels, in Battlefront 2 as well as a comic.
Pretty sure the guy who voiced that Cerrano dude also did the owl Wa Shi Tong in Avatar The Last Airbender. It seemed very familiar to me then I realized how it sounded similar! Dave Filoni worked on both series so he might've brought him in to do the voice for that guy.
I love how Star Wars has been leaning into the comical realism and not just super action fantasy: the clone just falling into the container when stunned, the pirates 2 intro beach chase, not done falling. It is cool to see more of the “enemy” background. My only complaint is that it was too short. These episodes felt like it should have been one big episode and then have a standard run time ep 2. Also I do hope that they flush out why omega is so important.. I’d like to see that she’s force sensitive, but where would she fit into the og trilogy/mando era?? Maybe a fallen order situation 👀
Watching this 1st episode then remembering the timeline it would be an amazing arc in Jedi survivor or the next game after. If there’s a mission arc working with a 10 year older Bad Batch team!!!
Hector Elizondo also voiced the owl, Wan Shi Tong, from the library in Avatar: The Last Airbender (and Legend of Korra).
Hector Elizondo is also the voice of Wan Shi Tong from Avatar. That's how I recognized the voice.
When Rampart killed Wilco, it made me gasped. Did not expect such a cruel act happening this early. Poor trooper was just being honest with his reports and doing what felt necessary.
F for Captain Wilco.
It seems the inhibitor chips and it's affects are starting to fade off.
F
I was more aghast at ‘kilograms’ suddenly being a unit of measure in the galaxy far far away
F for the Cap.
@@liamphibia nah, if he falsified a report that means he isn't following orders. Following an illegal order is not properly following orders.
This might just be hopeful completely out there theorizing but I think Serenno with the destroyed city and perhaps old clone wars equipment could be where some refugee Clones end up hiding out. I could see a situation where Rex has successfully freed hundreds of Clones and has been secretly moving them around the Galaxy (possibly not all in one place) then the Bad Batch return to Serenno after being contacted by the old guy and they work out a deal where the Refugee Clones work to rebuild the palace and the city then perhaps they eventually use it as a base of operations if a Clone Rebellion breaks out (which could be easily covered up in the empire as a Serenno revolt put down)
I know this is way too much theorizing but I think it would be really cool to see a Scenario like this occur though I do doubt it happens
I love how we got to explore echo and tech more that was missing the last season.
It's also great to see that they finally gave the LAAT's green front canon fire, only tool them 14 years haha
You know who would be a cool antagonist for this show?
The Delta Squadron survivors.
Being playable characters in a good game they come packed with the expectation that they are a serious force to be reckoned with and it would give some closure to the ending of the game.
I have a feeling Wilco in his subconscious was realizing how evil the Empire really was and was breaking through. Their programming tell them good soldiers follow orders, but 2 different orders are coming from the exact same side that they were programmed to follow, and it might be breaking the chip. That's just my head-canon explanation.
It was a very short shot, but I was really touched by the scene of Wilco checking a dead trooper from Wrecker's rampage after they escaped. Really highlighted how Wrecker flipped the script and didn't hesitate to kill their "old comrades" to save each other
YESSSSSS! You guys are my favourite youtubers. Been watching you guys since Thor the Dark world trailer 😁😁
The Republic drop ships have the best sound effects in all of Star Wars
While "good soldiers follow orders", They also do not follow illegal orders. Rampart's order was corrupt and fraudulent.
Not telling all of the truth is not the same as blatant falsehoods.
Loyalty to the Empire ( The obligation to provide accurate information) takes precedence over loyalty to an individual attempting to CYA.
I had the exact same connection to The Last Crusade
Star Wars is back, baby! I missed the Bad Batch so much especially want to see more development for Omega!
Hey Aaron is the first person who pronounced my Twitter name correctly on the first try lol! Awesome thanks for answering my question. Naboo would be cool.. We see some of that in the Vader comics, but so much later than this time period. Always interesting to see places we know during different times
I like that other Clones are shown as a threat/foil to the Batch, they haven't just become braindead since they became the enemy.
When that girl in the beginning of episode one calls tech brown eyes it’s a call back to the mandalorian 2x7 when bill bur character says we call him brown eyes.
It's Captain Howzer, clone with the best hair too😁😁😁😁😁 I have a feeling every character we've seen so far, in 1 or 2 episodes, will come back somehow in the current season or maybe a future season. Bcoz I noticed Romar's vest looks similar to what TBB are wearing in the trailer (where Rex asks for their assistance). I also don't think season 1 was the last time we'll see Fennec Shand or Cad Bane or even Roland Duran. Romar left an "imprint" on Tech & Omega, there's no way we're never seeing him again. Oh & Captain Wilco has the most interestingly ironic clone name (I'm an army brat & also did ROTC so I've heard their codes/abbreviations almost my entire life) ~ he followed & complied with all orders given to him until the end. And when he stood his ground & refused to falsify his report regarding Clone Force 99, he's killed without hesitation. By now Rampart must've murdered numerous other clones... I don't like crosshair so much. But now that rampart knows he lied about TBB deaths, I can only imagine what he might order Crosshair to do against his brothers. I think this season we'll get an actual Crosshair centric arc. I'm excited for it bcoz I really want to know how his story continues or ends. And I really think he deserves a redemption, especially after finding out he protected his brothers by lying (that they survived the destruction of Tipoca City).
Reminder that wrecker is a demolitions expert. What he did with the canon is not only in character and possible but kinda expected. Shows the batch aren’t one trick ponies. Mind you he did that under pressure and heavy fire for clones. I really to see people claim wrecker is nothing more than “big idiot” after this.
Everyone in Star Wars can learn to let go, except Anakin.
61:11 When *Omega* stayed behind and played the strategy game, she outright said she had the same augmentations regarding stradegy. No reason to assume that's all there was.
In my personal head-canon, Clone Captain Wilco's first name is Roger.
Great episodes so far
I love your Star Wars videos guys, keep up the great work and Happy New Year.
Happy days are here again... watching Star Wars, followed up with Blind Wave reactions and discussions. ☺️👏🤍
all they had to do in the first episode was use the comm of the passed out clone to say something and the mission would have gone smoother...
they literally have the same freaking voice
Do they? If they did then Dee Bradley Baker wouldn't have as much work to do.
@@jackdubz4247 what is Echo?
smartass
@@jackdubz4247 The Bad Batch are different, but Echo definitely has the same voice.
I like Calvin thought the old man would punch her after she looked into that
