Spoiler alert. Almost every “restoration” video you see on YouTube are faked. They have two identical sets and they distress one and then just swap out the parts. Most of the cleaning is faked too.

Lol, what would be the point of faking something like that? What a strange world we live in.

There is also the obligatory fake video of stumbling across the super dirty but super valuable thing in the trash or grass.

There are a few real restoration channels though and those are fantastic.

Why are these people a bad parody of the French?

Their accents seem like they were designed by someone who hates the French but has never actually been to France.

Loved that episode, not only because we got to see young Hera and the worlds greatest loyal jerk in Chopper, but they're really setting up the brutality of the Empire. I think this was the first really blatant murder in the series.



We know that Hera's mother has a not very good fate. It was interesting that the Batch had next to no screen time. I expect that next week, the batch rescue Cham and things go wrong.

Great episode, I thought it might be the showdown with Crosshair but it wasn't, but it is really building it which is great.

ITs coming, and somehow the Bad Batch owes Howser. It was great seeing a young Hera, and we got the jerk Chopper back.


I wonder if they're heading towards a major lore shift, in that the Empire stops using clones not because of the costs, but because the Clones rebel.



Nice flying by Tech by the way. Not enough people are terrified of Crosshairs.



I expect that we're going to see the 501st and Cody at some point, we need that resolution. Also I expect Tarkin will start playing a major role.

Amazing episodes with lots of stuff happening.


Quote:
We're now seeing why we don't see Clone Troopers in rebels for example, as the Empire has cancelled the clone trooper program and are building a conscript army. Wonder if this had anything to do with the Clone rebellion on Ryloth, but its been in the making for a long time as its cheaper to use human recruits instead of growing them.


We saw the return of Gregor, this episode really shows the talent of Dee Bradley as he gives each clone a distinct voice.


Anyone that didn't get choked up when Hunter was left behind and captured and Omega was screaming at him to order the batch to come back for him.


Gronk saves the ship.


The empire flat out murdered the PM of Kamino when the Admiral found out that he was moving resources. What a chilling line "The Empire has a need for a scientist like you, but not for a politician and then the doors close.


We saw the return of the Katarn army that the Commando's wore.



The new Stormtrooper armor made its debut, its very cool and not quite what we see in ANH.



The animations are so good in this series.



We are heading towards a confrontation between the Clone Troopers and the Storm Troopers being trained at a secret base. Are we going to see a new order 66?

I think (hope) that you are right between the confrontation coming between clones and recruited troopers. Then Crosshair realizes the Empire hates clones and he flips back to the Batch.

Filoni, man. Every episode he knocks it out of the park. He blends the perfect amount of prequel lore, new stuff, and hints at original trilogy stuff. So happy Filoni seems to be the gatekeeper of the SW storylines now. Only about 8 years too late though.

It kind of gives me hope that we see Cody as someone that hits that realization, because right now as far as legends, he becomes bitter, hates recruit troopers and becomes extremely brutal in executing the Empires will.


I don't if I see Cross hairs jumping to the rebellion side of things, I guess it depends on if there's a second season.



We do know that Rex, Wolfe and Gregor go into exile in Rebels. We don't hear a mention of the bad batch, so I play the assumption that they're either dead or hiding.



I have a feeling that Crosshair takes a bullet to the chip.


But 3 epsiodes left and we're getting the explanation of why no clones in Rebels or ANH.

Bad Batch picked up for a second year.


2022 could be insane


Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, Book of Boba, Andor, Bad Batch.

Bad Batch started fast and furious and then slowed down a bit, became all about family... ironically.. but is now speeding up again and has hit a great groove.

I love seeing the varying conflicts within and between the different clones. I look forward to season 2.

I think by the end of this series, pretty much all the Clones will be dead. We know Rex, Wolfe and Gregor survive. Other then that who knows, but I expect that the purge will happen in the next 3 episodes.
