    The clones were bred to fight, they haven't stopped fighting since they could hold a blaster. The clones have been dying since the clone wars started. To see but a few clones get to live out their lives peacefully just makes me happy.

    It was refreshing to have a "bad guy" Crosshair be redeemed and stay alive. Usually they make the redeemed bad guy sacrifice themselves as a cheap way to get you to forgive all their wrong doings.

      Very good point. Redemption isn't really redemption if they just die, that's actually the easiest way out. Vader would have absolutely been executed if he had survived in ROTJ. Boromir is another good example, because he got the feel-good sacrificial death that spares him the guilty feelings after. The hardest stories to write are for characters that try to be redeemed but have to live as well

    I personally enjoyed all 3 seasons a lot and it was a great show to watch with my family over the last few years. I never mind the "filler" episodes as they are usually just fun and rewatchable adventures. Funnily enough my two toddlers love the Tech racing episode.

    • @Daniel_Huffman
      @Daniel_Huffman 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To be fair, the reason for that episode was to give Tech some time in the spotlight before his unfortunate demise in the season finale. He and Echo didn't get as much focus in Season 1, and this episode seemed to be the show making up for lost time.

    Honestly you put it perfectly, season 3 was consistently at a good level but never went nuts, whereas season 2 had some very high highs like the Crosshair empire episodes, the best Rex double feature and the crazy finale, and lowest lows, like the treasure hunting episode or other lackluster “filler” episodes

    I was surprised that the Bad Batch (the ones that survived anyway) got basically a happily ever after but honestly, I feel like it was nice to have some characters enjoy something like that. Cause in the grand scheme of things, the Clone Wars era/Prequel era or whatever you call it is associated with tragedy. So many characters we've followed from this period either die, become corrupted, are forced into exile, are cast aside with little hope of aid or are forced into a fight they'll never see the end of. I think with that in mind, it's nice that we have at least a handful of characters that can enjoy a nice life after fighting for pretty much their entire lives. I doubt the vast majority of the Clone army was so lucky.
    Would I have liked a darker, Rogue One style ending with more death and larger scale events taking place involving the Batch? Sure, but I'm gonna judge the final season for what it is, not what I wish it was. Not saying the finale disappointed me, it just subverted my expectations in a good way.

    I was surprised S3 finished behind S2. Sure, S2 did have a couple of big moments but it didn't hit its stride until well past its half-way point. Before then it had been much like S1. S3 was pretty consistent throughout.
    Beyond that, it's an interesting comment on the state of Star Wars that one of the biggest moments of S3 was no moment at all. Tech stayed dead.

    @kellingc 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The having moments to breathe (or the lack of) is why I 'm not as much of a fan of the prequels. I've always felt that we were just hopping from situation to situation because they had to set something up int the future episodes. Through much of the films, I was wondering why this was happening or what was the motivation for this other character's action. I got a completely different feel from when Luke asked Ben about the Clone Wars in "A New Hope". Episodes IV, V, and VI felt like they moved more organically. This is what I felt with this season of "The Bad Batch". The stories felt like they fit together very well, rather than the mission of the week that we got from season 2. I chalk seson one up to we were just getting introduced to a set of characters, and they writers didn't have a complete story arc laid out. I think the best episodes where when Crosshair was stalking them on the downed - was it a Venator class ship; I can't remember.
    Anyway, this third season was consistently on my weekly must see list, so much so that I renewed my Disney subscription just to watch this show. Two things stand out; Omega never got to user her crossbow that Echo gave her, and the one off cameo of Visage, though enjoyable and I like the episode, was felt more like "we need to put a hook in there for future stories.". I would have liked to have seem maybe Kanen Jarrus show up, kind of completing the circle seeing as he was the was the one that they originally were hunting before disabling the chip.

    @coltencavegn5593 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was surprised that Season 3 was under Season 2, but I see why. The Clone Conspiracy arc are my two favorite episodes in the entire show, followed closely by The Outpost and the Season 1 premiere, Aftermath. I do think Season 3 is one of the best seasons, however, because of it's consistent quality and overall great pacing compared to Season 2 with almost half the episodes being some form of "filler." That being said, as I mentioned before, my favorite episodes are not even from this season, so I can see Season 2 being higher than Season 3 because there were certainly more emotional and exciting notes that hit way harder than anything else anyone was expecting in Season 2 than Season 3. I keep on saying this, but someone dying in the finale would have slightly changed this, even though that episode is still great without a death, and this show on a whole is quite fantastic!

    I felt although season 3 was a conclusion to the whole series and therefore has more weight. As a season, season 2 did alot better, the 16 episodes had a more clear storyline and progression whereas season 3 was very narrow in story telling and the stakes were a bit lower leaving many viewers with an unfamiliar feeling as if the show isnt finished. By ending the season with saving omega, many story lines feel rushed or unfinished and as such, although season 2 ends on a cliff hanger comparing seasons 2 does feel more complete

    And the last episode shouldn’t have introduced 3 more shadow operatives in the last 20 min. If there was only the one we saw then he could have had more impact. And maybe could have turned out to be Cody.

    The other thing to consider is that there were fewer people watching. To put it bluntly I’ve seen Disney mess too many things up and I’ve just cut it out of my life. I still watch the original star wars and I still look at a few things that are star wars related, but when I’m presented with anything Disney wise with Star Wars I just treat it like the plague.
    I’ve heard some pretty good things about the bad batch season 3, but just because an abusive spouse is offering to take you out to dinner doesn’t mean they’re not trying to real you back in. Because of that I’ve cancelled my D+ subscription and just decided to move on.
    That being said I still listen to things surrounding Star Wars just to stay in the loop, but I only do it from independent sources who aren’t biased to either side, so please keep up the good work.

    I don’t understand the hype over Season 3. It was easily the worst season of them all. Every season just undoes the previous season. It also creates huge problems for canon because as of now, Rex just gave up for no reason. The logical choice would have been to have the raid at Tantiss fail and all the Bad Batch (including Omega) and Rex’s clone rebellion die. The writers lost their balls after season 1 and went out of their way to avoid anything dark.
