Yeah, I'm not sure about it either. Not having watched the previous shows, I had no idea who the guy they went to see in episode 2 was. And it seemed like important backstory.

Some people will have some troubles with this because if I was going to be honest, Bad Batch is pretty much Clone Wars season 9 where we're following previous characters on a new arch that links to Clone Wars. So things like Cut, and the inhibitor chip story, and Echo's story for example all link back to the Clone Wars.



And yeah they've started off fairly light hearted, but when we get into more of the effects of Order 66 and the chase by the Empire it will follow the same formula as Rebels and Clone Wars and get darker.

2nd episode was pretty rough. Reminded me of the 2nd episode of Clone Wars S7 with the annoying Biker sisters.

Episode three amped things up, and signaled a departure in a way from the more kid friendly start.

The first episode was good. Second was weaker. But third was great. There's a lot of story going on that you wouldn't see in a traditional kids show and great backstory for fans of Star Wars.

It looks like Dave Filoni was promoted to Executive Creative Director and is now in charge of Star Wars storytelling across the franchise.

It is, wonder how it effects his directorial work in terms of the Mandalorian, Bad Batch etc. He's extremely talented as a story teller, but if this bumps KK then its a great move.

I'm not sure that it is. I think most people would probably prefer that Dave were more 'hands-on' in terms of the content as opposed to directing traffic for others.

You know...stick to what you're good at?

I guess we'll see.

Ranger's of the Republic has been shelved. It was originally a vehicle for Gino Carano.

Probably a ####y idea that would never catch on, but LF could do Luke & Grogu.

I just binged all the episodes of Bad Batch.

I didn't know it, but this is exactly what I was craving. Fantastic show that carries the Clone Wars torch flawlessly.

Every new piece Filoni or Favreau put out make KK's abomination of a trilogy worse and worse.

Guys, somehow Palpatine is back LOL. Garbage.

I just rewatched the last season of Clone Wars. While I did skip the Ashoka and her friends episode, I watched the Bad Batch arc and the Order 66 arc.


The Bad Batch makes the new series even tougher to watch because of the Cross Hairs betrayal. The Order 66 arc, and especially the live action captured duel between Maul and Ashoka was amazing to rewatch. Especially tough to watch with the roll out of Vader at the end finding her light saber.

I love the show too. So much better than Resistance.

You do release she's their boss right? So any praise should go to her just as much as the blame for JJ's and Rian's abomination.

I probably won't watch Resistance again, it just missed the mark in almost every way.

I dunno the first episode was great, but it's lost me a bit since then. I get they are trying to humanize them in the typical Filoni 3-4 episode lull.. but they also lost my interest a bit.

Hoping for more sooner than later.

I think we're going to get some interesting answers in Bad Batch, I mean I hope we do.


The transition from the Clone Army to a conscription army.

What happened to Commander Cody after the Clone Wars
Are we seeing the start of the Death Troopers from Rogue One
Who is Omega, is she even a clone?
Can Crosshair be saved, does he escape and shake off his chip
What are the next generation of Clones that the Kaminoans are building (Hint I think we saw it in Star Wars Battlefronts story lines.
Are we going to see the reunion of Wolfe, Gregor and Rex.
What happens the next time the Batch run into a Jedi, and its going to happen. Is Wrecker's chip active?
