The Bad Batch Episode 7 and 8 BREAKDOWN - HE'S BACK
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Two really fun episodes! I enjoyed these ones particularly because of the senate dealings which really dived into the transition of the stormtrooper army from the clones. I love how we got Rex and Palpatine returning in these.
We enter the senate and Rampart and Chuchi go head to head. She makes a massive claim that he was responsible for diverting Kaminoan funding outside of cloning without senate approval. The crowd makes noise as Rampart tries to move on from the question as she grills him. She then goes for it and accuses him of destroying Tipoca City himself. She’s voted out of the senate for such a claim until the boys hand Omega the files, who hands it to Bail, who hands it to Senator Chuchi. They play the recording for all to see, and it’s the Venators destroying Tipoca City. The jig is up, and I couldn’t believe they actually showed this, I thought it’d be all over for the empire, until the floor opens up just as it did when yoda fought palpatine, and we see Palpatine in his pod, rising, Mas Amedda next to him.
Ian McDiarmid voicing Palptine as he should, brilliantly twists the scenario into his favour. They arrest Rampart, and blame him for being rogue. He thanks Chuchi for exposing a rogue element in the empire’s ranks. Palpatine says he’ll be punished, however, he didn’t act alone. He blames the clones, too, and asks the senate if they really trust such a callous maneuver by such beings. He believes this legislation is their future, and that the imperial storm troopers will protect everyone from such things ever happening again.
Brilliantly he had a backup plan should he be exposed, and the twisted everything to his advantage. The fate of all clones are now doomed from this. Either way, they were doomed.

RIP SLIP AND CADE
Plapatine playing 5D chess
Palpatine is stream sniping for real
Could the clone assassin be a Sparti clone because he wasnt the most accurate this could be due to the even faster accelerated cloning
@@ZaWardo151 I have no problem with the OT or the PT, but ST is an abomination. My opinion of the fans of the ST is that they must not have brain cells to rub together. Not only are they absolutely atrocious movies with the Star Wars title strapped to them, but overall they are just outright horrible movies. Especially considering how one third of the trilogy is spend retconning another third of the trilogy, and the first movie, the first third, is just rehashed ideas of the original OT movie done very poorly. They were made like Monty Python films without any of the humor. There is only sad.
Never heard of this Plapatine guy
@@ElQkes I thought not, it's not a story the Jedi would tell you
I don’t think Pantora will stay in the Empire for too much longer, especially after the assassination attempts on their Senator
What if Pantora becomes a haven for the clones in the future?
@@thedarkoracle4807 that would be nice
@@thedarkoracle4807 that's actually a good idea to think about
Star Wars Squadrons gives you the ability to make your Imperial pilot a Pantoran. Some of them may have deserted the Empire, but some clearly stayed loyal to it.
Empire would never let it slip like that.
These episodes were awesome. The fact they brought back Senator Chuchi was a delightful surprise. Tresspass is one of my favorite clone wars episodes
Indeed
Same here. I remember being 9 Yeats old when it first aired. Really nostalgic seeing her again
@@joejoemartinez6059 yeah, I was 7 when that episode aired…I even had a crush on her 😂
@@pmiller7148 same tbh😂
Emperor Palpatine is sone sneaky & evil son of a sith. He played Clone Force99 right into his hand. It's was checkmate before it even started. Man, these two episodes were pretty intensed. Loved every minute of it!
Fr
Same!
If Hunter is like Omega's Father, then Echo is like the Uncle who will adopt you if your parents die
He's the Godfather.
She’s older than them, but I still think the sentiment is there.
and Senator Tucci sounds like the mother...
Omega is the big sister here lol 😆
@@aquariussarron5444 They are older in experience.
These 2 episodes were probably some of the best of the season currently
3 was definitely the best
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy agree
Best of series
episode 3 was the best after that yes these two are taking the second place
@@scemer4719 agree
I REALLY love how they brought in the clone assassins. These clones actually trained in live fire exercises against captured Jedi Padawans to specifically kill Jedi
That’s so sick I was glad to see them
I rewatched palpatines entrance multiple times after the scene first happened. Everything from the literal siren sounding before he emerges at the centre of it all, everyone suddenly going silent and looking shocked, the fact that he knows he doesn't even have to hide his eyes anymore and plainly dresses like a sith emperor infront of the galactic senate. Just perfect
These 2 episodes weren’t really what I would call dark. But man the tone was for sure Heavy. And seeing Palpatine come into the scene definitely shifted the atmosphere. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I was hooked like a tick
Incredible story telling. This and the prior Solitary Clone episode is what we are all here for. Lets keep it going.
79s cantina was so lively with clones in the clone wars. You can really see how the empire ruling has changed the clones overall vibe, just a small thing.
I like to imagine that the drop in quality from clone troopers to stormtroopers can all be traced back to an extra in “A New Hope” hitting his helmet on the doorframe
i LOVE how rex pulls back the mask on the assassin to reveal he was a clone. Very nice callback to episode 5 when luke cuts off “Vader’s” head in the cave on dagobah and his mask breaks revealing luke’s face. Thought that was a great touch from the writers adding to the division between clone brothers who fight for or against the empire.
That palpatine monologue and manipulating …. Chefs kiss
I’m gonna be so mad if Cody died cause of Rampart. And the best Bad Batch episodes involved heavily on clones. This is what Bad Batch should be a revenge against the empire which I’m hoping to see clones vs stormtroopers like in Battlefront 2
Stormtroopers don't stand a chance in hell lmao
@@triple-d2640 depends on numbers. One on one Clones are better no doubt. But Stormtroopers in canon are still very accurate (yes I know it sounds weird but what do you expect when in the OT they were firing at the main characters, in Andor in the final episode we saw how accurate they were) and with numbers, their better/advanced weapons, and better/advanced war strategies they’d defeat the clones pretty easily actually. Stormtroopers get too much disrespect.
@Donovan Pitts I'm not saying the stormtroopers are just dumb. But we're talking about ordinary soldiers vs clones of Jango fett who are trained for war from birth
@@triple-d2640 Ik and I’m saying depending on the circumstances and numbers the Stormtroopers would crush the Clones.
man i loved these, leaving echo was fair enough but i felt there could’ve been so much more character development for echo these past two seasons
I agree. Hopefully now that he's with rex we can get some work on his character. I suspect Echo will be dead by the time of the rebellion tho sadly
@@adrielvega5432 I was thinking the same thing as we don’t see him with wolffe, Rex, or Gregor in rebel, I’m sure he’ll die off
The way Faloni wrote these characters had me jumping up and down my seat, I was practically rooting for Rampart to have something bad happen, I hated him so much because of what he did to our precious clones, on how he ended Kamino, the home of our clones, how he tortured the poor brothers. I know he was following orders but man, that look on his face when he got arrested!
But boy what amazing episodes these two were, quick story, I was re-watching clone wars to hype my self up for the show and I watched the Talz episode with Chuchi right before, how ironic she was in these two episodes. She is such a pure character showing compassion for clones when no one else does, putting 'We're clones! We're expendable', 'Not to me.' to a new level.
I love seeing the clones perspectives and palpatine at the end was phenomenal. His monologue shows how manipulative he is and how he had such a hand in controlling the galaxy and swaying everything to his side whilst also upholding his reputation. What a beast.
Echo leaving got me kind of emotional, we knew him from some of the first episodes of the Clone Wars, he was best buddies with Rex, I knew this was imminent, I think everyone did, but seeing him actually leave was kind of sad. Omega is becoming more and more likeable, I feel like Faloni is doing what he did with Ahsoka to Omega, having her grow up and mature throughout the episodes, the 'Yes, sir.' at the end had a lot of power for me, I really hope Echo comes back one day, I don't want to see him go : (
Anyways, those are just my thoughts and opinions. Keep up the amazing work Theory, love your content : )
@whatsa115 almost had me believing u were theory and pinned me for a sec. maybe one day
I absolutely love both of these episodes. It's bittersweet to see that Echo's arc is going on full circle so far. Towards the end of the Clone Wars series, he leaves Rex to join the bad batch and then in TBB S2, he leaves that squad to reunite with Rex and join him to form a clone rebellion.
RIP Slip and Cade, you will be missed
Simple but effective; Palpatine's mind is like maze, he is so paranoid and intelligent that he makes plans for almost every outcome.
Great two part episodes this week.
Hey Theory, so I noticed that you said Admiral Rampart should’ve deleted the files of them destroying Kamino. Actually, just before Slips death, he says that he “saved a back up to the ships central system” because he knew Rampart was going to cover it up and delete the original. Overall, loved both of these episodes so much💯😤
To be honest I really didnt expect them to go through with Echo leaving the Batch. I mean its was forseeable, but I really did not think that they would actually do it
to me it just feels like the writers didnt know what to do with him so they wrote him out of the show... but at least they gave him closure instead of just killing him off or smt
Easily the best two episodes of the season. This shows me they can world build while deepening the overarching story. Star Wars needs this quality of story telling for a full season
I actually thought the assassin was Boba but it still is an interesting thing that there are assassin clones. Loved both episodes and I'm glad Chuchi didn't get killed off and Palpatine's scene was amazing, Ian McDiarmid is an amazing actor. I think one reason for putting both on the episodes on the same day is because of the Super Bowl. Since a lot of people will be focused on that this weekend, and will probably be talking about it the week after, they probably wanted to show the whole story of these two episodes so that people will be focused on watching this during this week. Love your channel and continue to wish you luck on Vader Episode 2.
I hope we see a clone rebellion as the finale for this show
I’m sure they’ll be a nice one
Absolutely amazing episodes! What an ending! Really good stuff! Wow! Great action and story and politics and scenery! And Ian of course killed it as palpatine!
These kinds of episodes always leave me on edge cause I know it won't end well no matter the heroes efforts.
Personally really happy to see Riyo, she's one of my favorite characters/leaders introduced in TCW. And gotta love how slippery-slimy ol' Palps is with that save, the man still got what he wanted.
This show is so frustrating because they can’t decide on what they want to do. They have episodes like this and then next week they’ll turn around and have another treasure hunting episode with Phee
I don't get why it's so bad that they have both. They can explore the characters and keep it lighthearted and then do episodes where they build the star wars universe and make it darker
Yeah i agree it is very frustrating honestly
@@gware11 the probem for me at least is that in thouse "treasure hunting" the batch usally takes the suporting role of the episode instead of the lead. a lot of the time they feel like special guests on their own show.
@@gware11 Exactly what happened with Clone Wars and Rebels, but people pretend it didn't. They had episodes r2d2 and c3po going to magical planets in the same season as umbara and Darth Maul Returning.
That's how it has been for ALL Star Wars shows; Including the Clone Wars, Rebels and Mandalorian.
Clone Wars especially would go from a brutal episode to fun silly droids or Jar jar episodes.
Hey SWT, I nearly didn't catch it, but Slip had said just before that Clone assassin got to him that he had backed up all the logs on a secondary drive so that even if they wiped the logs, Slip ensured that the evidence was still available.
I loved these episodes. This also plays into why the clone trooper in obi wan kenobi show was homeless and sitting alone on the streets.
not the obi wan show...it could have been something better
@@matthewflores4183 oh definitely, I just wanted to point out that it makes much more sense that people were letting a veteran of the clone wars go by the wayside and no one else gave anything to him in the context that palpatine manipulated people into thinking that clone troopers were dangerous and committed genocide just because for funsies
I was an advocating for the show really, just pointing out that a plot point makes more sense with this context, although I doubt that it was planned, it's neat that it lines up
It also adds to Obi-wan's reaction to the trooper
@@matthewflores4183bro at least contribute to what this person is saying, don’t need to bring up the quality of something every single time
Such banging episodes. I loved being there for this watch party!
5:20 You're forgetting that Omega also doesn't have accelerated aging because while she is an altered clone because of her obvious gender swap, she still has pure Jango DNA like Boba.
It was great to see coruscant again and to see that it doesn’t change that much after like 5 years of war.
Finally something happen in season 2. These past few episodes have been a slog to get through.
@whatsa711 Yea right buddy !
Imagene having a such generic name like ryan
@@TheRebornJuker why are you so hurt by someones opinion
@@Dylan-iq7iz ok "dylan" because its a shit opinion.. It literally has the same formula as clone wars
I’m pretty sure in the episode either Cade or Slip created a back up, and Rampart thought he deleted the footage of Kamino
Yeah that’s exactly what happened he had a back up on the ship
Palpatine playing 5D chess in these two episodes
I love Coruscant so much. My fav SW planet.
They both felt like they belonged in the clone wars series as opposed to the Bad batch. But that felt like a good thing.
Rewatching these episodes I just came to appreciate even more how much of a genius Kevin Kiner is. The palpatine theme is obvious but if you go to the moment that Senator Chuchi is first shown they throw it all the way back to when she negotiates with the Talz in season 1 of TCW. It’s subtle but just so impressive
You see this is peak of clone wars/bad batch content. You get everything I love about the two. The politics, espionage, war and the interesting look on these clones. I really hope they keep this stuff going.
Much better episodes. Not sure I believe that they would let omega to wander into the capital but otherwise great. Echo leaving for me is the door opening for crosshair to come back. Sidious brilliant again
If they start to eliminate the clones, you’d imagine trust in Crosshair would fall in that as well. I could see the empire turning against Crosshair, causing him to finally come back to the BB
I wish every episode could tie into the larger story like this. The quality is so much higher in these episodes than in the 1 off filler episodes that don't move the story at all. And for the people crying "world building" or whatever you can and should do both.
Senator Chuchi is NOT the chairman’s daughter she worked with Ashoka to help free his daughter also with gens kenobi skywalker along with the 501st early to bring peace with talz
6:51 I actually didn’t know that concept existed prior to this episode.
12:34 It was so suspenseful when Palpatine made his appearance that I’m pretty sure it gave me chills.
And we can see how Emperor Palpatine twists everything up lol. Both episodes were AMAZING. Echo will have a great journey with Captain Rex.
@whatsa711 Bros trying to scam me LOL.
Except Echo isn't with him in Rebels, so Echo dies at some point before that
@@DS9TREK Yea that is true. Or maybe Echo leaves rex and joins a different rebel cell.
HOLY SHIT! That was amazing! No Cid, no boring filler. Just new lore and an incredible story. More of this please! Easily the best in the series so far
I Am The SENATE!!!
Ian McDiarmid is the
Only Real True Senate
It's treason Then
These were some.powerful episodes my god the godly like entrance of the emperor him taking one thing turning it into another unreal
Seeing palpatine rise up in the senate is no doubt the best part of the whole season so far. Senators trying to save the clones only to be played right into palpatines hands giving rise to the stormtroopers.
Man hearing all your theory makes this recap of the show makes it so good and excellent breakdown these two parts of episode from beginning middle and end is something I wish we could have more.
I remember that they originally used another clone after jango and then later implemented the public for the military.
I like how the clone “slip” is trying to help his brothers while way back in the cw “slick” tried to betray them
I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm just gonna clear up a little something for everyone confused about the whole file thing.
It was Kade, if I remember right, who said he saved a back up of the data file deep inside the secondary storage banks. Slip (the clone with that sick as hell beard) was the one who got shot before Rex showed up.
Ok so i wasn't crazy. they did release 2 episodes and i didn't just forget a week. Great to see Chuchi is still around. Always good to see senators besides Bail being not terrible. Very interested where they take all the clones from here on out. My own personal opinion. I have enjoyed every episode of this season so far bar the treasure hunting one. And i really like how despite this being called the Bad Batch, its actaully a method of seeing the galaxy post order 66 but pre rebellion proper
@whatsa489 no you're not, get the f outta here with your bot BS
Really loved Vode An making a reappearance at the end of Episode 8. Really hit that Clone Commando nostalgia.
These episodes were INCREDIBLE. Every episode should be as good as this!
12:15 I had a feeling Palpatine would turn it around somehow, because the Senate won’t get disbanded until A New Hope.
I loved these two episodes. It pretty much ensures a clone rebellion but hearing Ian once again reprise his role as Palpatine is always a treat and it once again showed just how much of a smooth operator he is because he was going to get his Stormtrooper Program regardless of whether the truth abut the bombing of Tipoca City came out or not.
Also yeah I expected Echo to stay behind with Rex, he hasn't exactly been subtle about his desire to do more to help his brothers and while it is sad I'm sure they'll see each other again and in the meantime we have a little of the old 501st legion back together.
Any Episode Were I make a Cameo,Is simply BadAss 😎
It's incredible and infuriating how Palpatine can be so manipulative and get away with it.
Great episodes, hope this season continues this quality from now on. No more filler, give us a clone rebellion.
There's no such thing as filler
Rampart DID doctor the logs, but Slip downloaded them to a backup drive before that happened. It's said in the latter episode.
9:06 Slip made a backup that Rampart doesn't know about. I'm guessing he only doctored the original.
Credit to someone else for pointing this out, but Palpatine indirectly mentioned Order 66 in this episode. Order 66 turned the clones into mindless soldiers that would turn on their allies without question. Palpatine is taking advantage of this and is now using it to say that the mindless robots Order 66 turned them into could be a serious threat to this new Empire. So in a way, Order 66 took out the Jedi, and now the Clones
Palpatine be playing 5D chess.
I like that Rampart is so ordinary looking. It’s a nice change from the more typical bad guy looking bad guy.
There's one good thing Palpatine did when he got rid of the Clone troopers.
He opened alot of jobs for men and woman from hundreds of backwater worlds to join the Stormtrooper Corps
I wouldnt complain if we get more political episodes. Politics in Star Wats always seemed super interesting to me
"The clones under his command so blindly followed orders..." gee I wonder what other orders they were given before...
This is all we want, why is it so hard to give each episode the same quality 👍
They want to make lots of episodes. Fillers mean more episodes they can make
becuz it's obvious reasons why.
What you mean big dawg? This season has been more consistent imo and I’ve been loving what Filoni has been doing my G
@@JohnnySturdivant The Sid episodes just always lead to no development and feels like a big waste of an episode slot, in a show show with short seasons
@@lewisgallagher5874 I mean I get it my guy. I don’t wanna give Grace Randolph credit because F word her. That said she was right so far when she says 4-6 were filler. She also says the rest of the season is a banger. She may be right about the rest of the season because 7 and 8 were pure HEAT!
Senator Chuchi did help Ahsoka rescue the chairman’s daughters. However she herself is not one of the chairman’s daughters.
Me when I see rampart:
Hello, welcome to los pollos harmanos, you may call me gus
I like how you can tell how Palpatine doesn’t really care about any of the senate or people who wants to play with as much money into his military as possible, he can’t afford giving 1, million clones a 401(k)!
You mentioned you thought Rampart would have doctored the log. I think you missed the part where Slip said he made a backup of the log and it was stored on the mainframe of Rampart's ship. I think Rampart either deleted the log or did doctor it not realizing there was a backup of the original, which would explain why he was completely unprepared when the real log was shown.
*I wonder if the Bad Batch will be on Naboo, when Queen Apailana dies from Clones*
Finally a good episode
Palpatine's backup plan usually is to make the his subordinates the patsy if they could be instrumental to foiling his plans. He's not a loyal person and is perfectly willing to sacrifice anyone for his own benefit. We've seen it with Maul, Dooku, and (later on) Vader. Why should Rampart be any different?
These episodes pulled out major surprises:
Bail Organa
Captain Rex
And PALPATINE!
i think Cade said he secretly backed up the Kimino logs on Ramparts ship, thats why it wouldn't matter if Rampart did delete logs
No matter how far our heroes get, Palpatine is five steps ahead. Twisting the truth, pointing out an individual problem rather than a systemic one
Indeed!!!!
Palpatine's the GOAT for a lot of reasons. One, he anticipated the moves anyone makes at him, and two, he manipulated the galaxy around him like a fiddle to absolute perfection. Two episodes for the price of one's a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Every word he says is dripping with dominate mind, his voice was known to have a hypnotic lull, even by Jedi Knight Luke...I think when Luke met Sidious, it clicked-I think Luke knew instinctively that Sidious had pulled his father's strings for years, he even does it in the novel with a single reference to Obi Wan's pupils, which is why Luke (beyond sheer love) chooses to show compassion until for a moment he loses himself in the dark side and he thinks he gets it, defeats Vader with ease, the throws away his saber (+1000 LS points)...until Sidious helps him understand the true powa of the dark side (another dig at Vader). I share your love for Palpatine as a villain. Thank you George Lucas and thank you Ian M for returning!!!
Man really good and the visuals were stunning
I wish the stun blasters would delete all the inhibitor chips in their programming’s .
I was so happy when Rex said the Martezs weren't around lol.
The tonal whiplash throughout this season has been ridiculous
I thought Rampart did doctor the logs, but Slip hid a copy inside the system.
This pair of episodes really emphasized just how flexible and strategic palpatine is. He’s got a plan within a plan within a plan, with a contingency in place in case THAT plan doesn’t work so he can still go forward with the next plan within ANOTHER plan. He’s not a simple enemy whatsoever
You just knew when Palpatine showed up they had played into his hands. I was immediately like that sneaky bastard is definitely just gonna use this as 'proof' of why a new army is needed. Love seeing the reaction of the senate to him as well. It's like now he's no longer masking his darkside presence, they feel that something about him is just off. They don't understand the force enough to know what it is they are feeling. They just know something about him feels wrong.
This two episodes and the one with Cody were soooo good. Man why weren’t all episodes of season two so good? Filoni is just the best. He should be the head of Star Wars Disney.
He made The Bad Batch show lol
R.i.p. to chuchi's bodyguards.
Speaking of riyo chuchi i have been thinking about her practically non-stop.
Chuchi's guards were absolute gigachads.
@@thebaron2277 and their good shots.
It’s really interesting how the prequels got hate for the senate discussions. Saying it was boring and isn’t what people wanted to see in Star Wars. But now the senate scenes here are well received. Both add to the story equally but received completely different.
Senator Chuchi wasn't The Chairman's Daughter. She was just the Senator of their planet and was helping the Chairman of Pantora get his two kidnapped daughters back with Ahsoka!
The way Palpatine manipulated public perception about both the Jedi & clones reminds me of how Trudeau treated those of us who didn’t get the shots.
What I find ironic is how some people will sympathize with fictional characters in these situations & see how wrong this is but be completely swayed by words & feel the exact opposite in real life.
Propaganda is a powerful thing.
Palpatine, the example of a rouge politician.
Star Wars went from a republic to a democracy to a dictatorship. I love how fiction mirrors life. It's all about the narrative. I don't think people really know what a republic is. Blame the schools.
Bruh those clones with Beards were freaking sexy dude, we never got to see that in the Clone Wars, clones didn't have beards except when we saw Gregor, but dang they look awesome
The senate really just came in and just one upped everyone. He’s always got the upper hand
QUEEN CHUCHI IS BACK!
1:46 i’m pretty sure that’s Shu Mai’s replacement as the representative of the Commerce Guild as Mai was killed by Vader on Mustafar.
I wonder how long Rampart has left to live? He could still reveal the Batch's survival if they don't kill him right away 😬
This episode also had very much a Blade Runner feel with the score & the wide shots of Coruscant. Loved it!
