Seeing Teth again is like having all of the animated series come full circle. This is kind of where it all started. You can also compare and contrast the visual upgrade of the animation directly and see how far they’ve come.
3:41 Confirmed are 15 Episodes for S3. Finale on May 1st. Also, both of these episodes take place on the planet Teth which first appeared in the Clone Wars movie. The Clone base is located where Obi-Wan fought Ventress.
Dude seeing Wolffe again was just amazing! Brought me back to watching him in the missing Togruta arc with his new armor and being amazed by how badass it was!! This season has been on a roll, it’s sooo good!! 😎😁😃
The fact that they are calling them "shadows" and they are getting experimented on and getting experimental gear makes me think that this is the actual first stage of Shadow Troopers, as soon as we see cloaking devices it will be confirmed. They are also send to stealth missions.
I'm convinced the assassin is actually Cody not Tech. We haven't seen Cody since S2. I love Tech but I hope he remains dead - give us one character whose sacrifice means something.
Yeah you don't do a prolonged death scene like Tech got, then undermine all that by having him just suddenly show back up. I've also heard about the Cody theory and him using the knife up close suggests it could be; but the Empire had no reason to send him to Tantiss before he went AWOL, unless he got captured afterwards.
My assumption with Wolffe's armor is that since it was already Grey they didn't bother to make him remove or change it. If you recall, Commander Cody had to remove the color from his armor in the fact of it's Orange hue but the actual markings remained on his gear. So with Wolffe it's probably the same thing, his gear was grey already so there's no need to have him remove or change it. Granted that's just my assumption and could have a totoally different meaning.
I'm surprised that this is seemingly the 2nd time this season u guys didn't recognise a character from a previous seasons. This time it was the separatist senator, who previously appeared when The Bad Batch rescued him from the Empire in s1. On that note, I absolutely love the idea of freedom loving republican and separatist senators realising the errors of the war and joining forces in the common fight against tyranny. This is smth both now dead Dooku and now Emperor Palpatine really feared and tried to stop back in the Clone Wars. I always loved this kind of poetic nuance in Star Wars.
@KyleKatarn, Season 3 has 15 episodes. 3/20 episode 8 3/27 episode 9 4/3 episodes 10 & 11 4/10 episode 12 4/17 episode 13 4/24 episode 14 5/1 episode 15 The titles have been released too, but I'm going to assume that you'd rather not know the names, so I'll just leave you with the dates and episode numbers. We have one more double header coming up next month =)
The ship the operative was flying is very interesting. It doesn't seem to share design heritage with republic or early imperial models. It looks for all intents and purposes, Sith. The triangularness, the red engines, the pointy viewscreens. It looks like the the tech that's in the vault in Tantis which makes me wonder if there was already an ancient Sith facility there that Palpatine knew about and converted into his research base. It would explain a bunch of design choices within the base and the operatives. Hell even the operative armour looks more Sith than trooper. Just something to wonder about.
It's good to see that in times as the Empire grows stronger, creating more of a threat to the people and the senators of the republic, as well as the senators of the separatists and their people rather than a safer society, both sides put their differences aside and are starting to work together to fight this threat!
I always think it's funny when people say that they shouldn't bring back a character who is assumed dead because it "cheapens their sacrifice" as if they still weren't sacrificing themselves in the moment. When Tech fell into the fog it was definitely giving off uncertain vibes as to his fate. Hemlock tossing out the broken goggles and saying that they were the only thing that could be recovered telegraphed this even harder. No body means he's likely not dead. Tech survived near-death experiences much more dangerous than that one all the time. And if he's alive that's great, because he has a lot to live for.
Because its then a complete waste of a death scene and cheapens it, especially when Tech died saving the others. And now he's just supposed to be resurrected after falling 1000 feet, having a train carriage fall on him, and then there is no hesitancy when this operative shoots at the Bad Batch and Rex? Na.
@@shugaroonyWas Ahsoka’s death and return in TCW cheap? How about her second “death” and return in Rebels? How about when Rex appeared to die in TCW but didn’t? How about Obi-Wan, Yoda, and then Vader all actually dying and coming back as force ghosts in the OT? Or ditto with Qui Gon at the end of the Obi-Wan show? Was Maul getting cut in half, falling hundreds of feet, and then surviving for *decades* more cheapened? Hm?
@shugaroony lol we literally don't see anything happening to Tech except him falling into fog. It's still a good self-sacrifice moment even if he turns out not to be dead. No body usually means not dead in dramatic action shows like this one. The fact that they erase the identity of the shadow clones and reprogram them means that it's extra sad for Tech if he's the one trying to kill his family.
awesome to see wolffe again and i cant waith to see how he is going to join rex and cregor in rebels imagine if the clones are going to destroy tantiss and what going on there and perhaps thats the awnser on palpatine clone in a certain movie where he returned and look the way it did
“It’s so tech! He’s so analytical!” So is Crosshair with his shots in earlier seasons lmao, is he secretly Tech? I seriously hope Disney doesn’t revive yet another character. Please, please let there be SOME stakes for this show. It desperately needs it.
It would actually piss me off if Tech was still alive. It would cheapen the sacrifice. Plus it's just laziness because it's getting a little old of having characters seemingly killed off, to have them return Echo, Maul, Asohka, Rex, and so on.
The planet with the clones. Is that the same one in the Clone Wars animated movie where there were going up the side of the mountain and obi wan and anakin fought ventress? It had a temple. Right after Christophsis? Before tatooine?
Plo Khoon in the books series was nothing like you see him here. He often would suffer high Clone Casualties because he thought of them as unnatural and expendable.....in the Book where the Clone Commanders are recounting Order 66 Wolff states that he felt no hesitation or remorse when the Order came down.....
WOW! I don't know if its me or the video, but the framerate of the episode is somehow in a way that when Wrecker fires (at 13:54) you don't see the blaster bolts!
It does make sense that wolffe is with the empire. No one got to him like with rex, Gregor and Howzer. He just continued serving after the war as usual. And maybe he kept his markings because he is a commander. I just got flashbacks of how happy he was when he got his wolfpack back in rebels.
5:26 Senator Singh was the separatist senator for Raxus in Season 1 Episode 10 of the Bad Batch. 5:52 That's not true. Baron Papanoida was the chairman of Pantora, not the Senator. Chuchi has been Senator of Pantora since the start of the Clone Wars. 10:00 That's because this is the planet Teth from the Clone Wars movie. 11:18 No, he didn't. Howzer was assigned to Cham Syndulla.
The Bad Batch Season 3 01 - Confined 02 - Paths Unknown 03 - Shadows of Tantiss 04 - A Different Approach 05 - The Return 06 - Infiltration 07 - Extraction 08 - Bad Territory 09 - The Harbinger 10 - Identity Crisis 11 - Point of No Return 12 - Juggernaut 13 - Into the Breach 14 - Flash Strike 15 - The Cavalry Has Arrived
Can ya'll just let Tech be dead? His death was a great sacrifice and meant so much... Him being alive takes all of that away. Let characters die please.
This is the thing throughout. She got time with all the others except Crosshair, and now she's catching up with learning off of him. And what they went through together, in getting back to the Bad Batch, has solidified their bond.
@@shugaroonySeems like you should probably watch these two eps again. It’s *possible* it’s Marrok 2.0 all over again, but treating it like a certainty is myopic. You’re ignoring the dialogue and framing and blocking, the care they went to with the voice, hiding the face nonstop, making him more formidable than the other shadow agents who were all thwarted quickly, showing so much from his perspective with his (unique) tactics, precision, tech-reliance (note how he uses every piece of tech that he can, including trying to utilize abilities on his suit which fritz and short out), the big symbolic fall from a great height, and then lingering on him at the end of ep 7 showing that he survived. Some of that happening could be a coincidence. ALL of that happening? That’s a character we know.
I don’t understand this weird obsession TBB viewers have with every clone we see having to be Tech or Cody. Sure, it is a common narrative trope to have the family member turn enemy but it has been done to death in general and Star Wars death and sacrifice has less meaning these days. Let Tech be dead and move on this is just a conditioned clone, if not the narrative will be worse for it. Tech’s death had significance hopefully the writers realise this and don’t listen too much to fan stuff on this one. Overall though great reaction as per usual. I must say, like many commenters before me; that I was surprised to see you two of all reactors did not recognise Teth at all (from the TCW movie). The series in general keeps on giving strength after strength excited for the next batch of episodes. 😉 Edit: to add as a general reminder we’ve seen these shadows last season and they were just as effective there. Another reminder, in season 1 the Empire (Rampart) discussed having clones be elite spec units. So again, all these things and the Shadow’s skill set (plus the Empire hating any sort of personality) points to this assassin just being another shadow, again he was just as effective as the others we’ve seen on screen on already. “That’s so Tech” is therefore not much of reason for it to be him taking the other seasons and what we know about both Hemlock, The Empire’s use of clones and the Shadows in general. Ultimately just my opinion though and only the future has the answer to this one.
When you guys started talking about who’s cool this is my suggestion, Obi-Wan is like James Bond cool Poo cool is like Bruce Lee cool and Quinlan Voss is like motorcycles, biker cool that’s how I see that🤷🏾♀️
Really amazing episode so much cool shit going on here. That new Shadow Clone ship is freaking awesome, I need that ship specs lol ii have to say the animation lighting in this episode was phenmenal as well cool reaction guys thanks. its a fun episode this whole season has Season 4 Rebels vibes as in its definitely a through story rather than episodic.
Good reaction lads 💯 I'm gonna be gutted when this finishes 😢 I've ideas for helmets I'm making when it does. First I've got to finish SAMURAI Boba Fett
I understand why people who are fans of the larger Star Wars animation world would like it to be Cody, but it just makes virtually no narrative sense for that to be the case. This isn’t TCW, it’s the Bad Batch. It’s not Rex or Cody’s show, it’s the Bad Batch. Last we saw Cody, he was starting to question things and looked ready to go AWOL. Then to jump from that…to him being a shadow assassin? There’s at least one narrative step missing there, it just doesn’t make sense. Meanwhile, “former teammate we thought died was actually captured and turned by the enemy” is a classic trope and has been carefully built for dating back even before Tech’s death, when they set up the assassin storyline in the first place, showed the experimenting on clones hinting at the “re-education” stuff, all that. I get why folks want it to be Cody, but it just isn’t.
@@jasonmarbachI think it's just stupid that he would be Tech in season 2 he basically sacrifices himself it was a sad scene and if they brought him back just for quick runnion would be stupid and it would destroyed the whole ending in Season 2... "Oh look he died..." "Oh anyway he's back" Just stupid idea that just fans wants
@@busydarthnooox8290I actually want Tech to stay dead too, I think it was very meaningful and impactful. But reading the narrative clues, I don’t really see anyone else this shadow agent could be that would make sense and have some impact.
Those assassins are definitely a clone of crosshair or someone we know, he's not following wolfs orders, he hits 9 out of 10 shots with his sniper etc, he has been given to much attention to be a random clone or so
@@battledroid8010in-world it’s possible, but it would make zero narrative sense for it to be Cody. Last we saw him, he was alive and clearly starting to question things. Then he’s suddenly one of these shadow assassins? There’s a narrative step missing there. Plus, the show is about the Bad Batch. People who watched the prequels and TCW have reason to care about Cody, but this show is focused on its cast of characters first and foremost. They’ve given us all the cues, it almost has to be Tech.
@@battledroid8010 Tech certainly would have to have found a way to survive the fall, but remember the number one rule: We never saw a body, we just had Hemlock suspiciously handing over the goggles. Cody could have gone awol and been re-captured, but that’s what I mean: there’s a narrative step missing there, and Cody doesn’t have the emotional resonance *in this show* (because this isn’t TCW, it’s The Bad Batch). Cody isn’t a clone that the batch even really knows well. Not like Rex is to them. And not like Cody is to Rex. This is their show, and the emotional stakes work best with Tech. It’s all there, he really, honestly is the only one who makes narrative sense.
Nope. After only 10 months, a clone of crosshair (assuming the genetic material wouldn’t be too degraded another order of magnitude removed from Jango’s original code) would still be a kid.
I'm so done with Star Wars they always kill off every single new clone they introduce and it's pissing me off first wilco, nova and mayday and now fireball, nemec and all the other clones that were just introduced this episode
That's the tragedy of all this though - the clones were made to be, and are treated as, disposable. And we know, from watching all these shows, that they are individuals worthy of being treated with the respect they deserve, which is why it sucks so bad to lose so many.

As someone who enjoyed the movie, it was kinda nostalgic to see Teth again. Also RIP Fireball and other clones who went down at the base.
Died to his flame and grenade, what a fireball. ☄️☄️☄️😔
We see a Clone with Purple markings for the first time and he dies....

Shocked you didn't recognize the the clones secret base as the Teth monastary from the CW movie.
I’ve been appalled so far that so many people have been missing it.
I was so excited when I saw Theth
I practically screamed when Teth showed up I was not expecting it

I wish the season took more time with Rex, echo, howzer, Gregor, fireball, Nemec, and so on.
This episode was surprising in how it went, twists everywhere for who showed up.
Cham syndulla held the rank of general i believe so howzer wouldnt have to have served under a Jedi-general

@@christopherhanton6611 totally forgot his division.
@@AX1D3NTPR0N3 😆
We are getting 15 episodes so we are at the midpoint.
I think the new assassin is either another unknown clone, or slick. Only two logical options
Maybe it’s also Dogma since he was also imprisoned and DID follow orders blindly until it was too late…

It’s either Tech or Cody. One of the above
I don’t think it makes any sense at all for it to be Cody. I literally don’t think there’s anyone it could be at this point besides Tech.
It's probably another regular cloned that has been conditioned.
15 episodes of the final season of the bad batch. The finale is May 1st. Very sad, may the force be with you ✨️
Echo and Gregor will be the extraction.
What a coincidence. I just finished watching the two episodes myself
Surprised the reaction got out this early! I'd expect it to be a day after but I'm suprised
Remember the Raxus senator was in season 1
I think these two episodes confirm the special op we saw in the trailer isn't Tech.
awesome to see wolffe again and i cant waith to see how he is going to join rex and cregor in rebels imagine if the clones are going to destroy tantiss and what going on there and perhaps thats the awnser on palpatine clone in a certain movie where he returned and look the way it did
Wollfe was in the trailer guys….cmon
Prediction: the mystery guy is Tech.
You guys are going to be so disappointed that operative isn't going to be Tech - or Cody. This is the Marrok thing all over again.
“It’s so tech! He’s so analytical!” So is Crosshair with his shots in earlier seasons lmao, is he secretly Tech? I seriously hope Disney doesn’t revive yet another character. Please, please let there be SOME stakes for this show. It desperately needs it.

14:30 Boom !
I feel like the Clone Assasin we keep seeing is gonna be brainwashed Cody or Tech. Im leaning more towards Cody though
Really hoping on a new series in this animation style when the bad batch ends. Not only tales of the jedi too but just a complete new story
5:26 Senator Singh was the separatist senator for Raxus in Season 1 Episode 10 of the Bad Batch.
5:52 That's not true. Baron Papanoida was the chairman of Pantora, not the Senator. Chuchi has been Senator of Pantora since the start of the Clone Wars.

It may surprise you to learn that we aren't in charge of letting Tech be dead
That ship was sick man really cool design and seeing Wolf at the I was not expecting that
Well Wolfe was still in contact with the Empire in Rebels so it makes sense he stuck around a bit longer with the Empire
Figured you might like to see this, not serious Star Wars, but it totally cracked me up.
There is 15 total episodes for this final season and thus far they have all hit

A PLO KOON MOVIE. Is a must
Tech is dead. Please no more of the theories where Clone X is Tech (or a clone of Crosshair).
It’s clearly someone we (the characters, but also the audience) knows. Tech is the only one who really makes much sense.

I'm probably wrong but I feel like making a prediction. That shadow trooper is not Tech but instead a clone of Crosshair.
I miss Tech I wish he hadn't died
I'm leaning more towards the shadow being cody, expecially since he just up and vanished and was listed as awol
I think the clone that they keep focusing on may be. Crosshair clone. He has a lot of Crosshair mannerisms. I’m probably wrong but that is my theory.
14:37: and here I’m mourning the loss of every one of these minor clones 😢😢
I believe it is Tech also
I don’t understand this weird obsession TBB viewers have with every clone we see having to be Tech or Cody. Sure, it is a common narrative trope to have the family member turn enemy but it has been done to death in general and Star Wars death and sacrifice has less meaning these days.

I get why folks want it to be Cody, but it just isn’t.
Also, Crosshair did not say only Regs could be the shadow agents. What he said was that HE, Crosshair, was “too defective.”
Yes which means all bad batch are @@jasonmarbach
@@jasonmarbachI think it's just stupid that he would be Tech in season 2 he basically sacrifices himself it was a sad scene and if they brought him back just for quick runnion would be stupid and it would destroyed the whole ending in Season 2...
"Oh look he died..."
"Oh anyway he's back"
Just stupid idea that just fans wants
@@busydarthnooox8290I actually want Tech to stay dead too, I think it was very meaningful and impactful. But reading the narrative clues, I don’t really see anyone else this shadow agent could be that would make sense and have some impact.
The speech pattern definitely makes me think it's Tech.
15 episodes
If the operative isn't tech then I think it's a clone of Crosshair. Either way Crosshair knows something about him to the point it shakes him up hard
I think the second assassin clone is Cody😊
5:15 The Confederacy shall rise again.
Commander Wolffe!
Those assassins are definitely a clone of crosshair or someone we know, he's not following wolfs orders, he hits 9 out of 10 shots with his sniper etc, he has been given to much attention to be a random clone or so
Why would they waste time cloning Crosshair when he says himself they're regs who've been conditioned? Lol
It can’t be a clone of crosshair. Not in 10 months, it would still be a child.
i kept saying out loud that their security sure is crap. I know it's a plot device but honestly. All those clones couldn't detect the one guy.
16:24: To me Kenobi has always been the most dogmatic of jedi. Not full Mace Windu annoying but he represents the Jedi Code
Let's goooo
I know it hurts but Tech is dead.
✨✨🌟✨✨🌟✨✨
It’s gotta be Tech, I think. The narrative cues are all there, it’s the only thing that really makes sense.
@@battledroid8010in-world it’s possible, but it would make zero narrative sense for it to be Cody. Last we saw him, he was alive and clearly starting to question things. Then he’s suddenly one of these shadow assassins? There’s a narrative step missing there. Plus, the show is about the Bad Batch. People who watched the prequels and TCW have reason to care about Cody, but this show is focused on its cast of characters first and foremost. They’ve given us all the cues, it almost has to be Tech.
@@battledroid8010 Tech certainly would have to have found a way to survive the fall, but remember the number one rule: We never saw a body, we just had Hemlock suspiciously handing over the goggles.
Cody could have gone awol and been re-captured, but that’s what I mean: there’s a narrative step missing there, and Cody doesn’t have the emotional resonance *in this show* (because this isn’t TCW, it’s The Bad Batch). Cody isn’t a clone that the batch even really knows well. Not like Rex is to them. And not like Cody is to Rex. This is their show, and the emotional stakes work best with Tech. It’s all there, he really, honestly is the only one who makes narrative sense.
I keep trying to comment about the shadow assassin’s cybernetic leg (search the awful bird site) but it keeps getting deleted. No idea why
crosshair clone
Nope. After only 10 months, a clone of crosshair (assuming the genetic material wouldn’t be too degraded another order of magnitude removed from Jango’s original code) would still be a kid.
I'm so done with Star Wars they always kill off every single new clone they introduce and it's pissing me off first wilco, nova and mayday and now fireball, nemec and all the other clones that were just introduced this episode
So true lol
That's the tragedy of all this though - the clones were made to be, and are treated as, disposable. And we know, from watching all these shows, that they are individuals worthy of being treated with the respect they deserve, which is why it sucks so bad to lose so many.
Never go for the Flamethrower.. .

RIP Fireball.
All the Operative needs is a cafdboard box...😎
We do know how many episodes there are gonna be. It’s 16 as usual.
