So...does that mean Cut's chip didn't activate for Order 66 since he wasn't near a Jedi...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Imo, Cut's chip never developed properly, which is why he was able to walk away from the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Am I the only one worried this show might turn into a sort of Mando clone with the Bad Batch having to raise Omega. I trust Dave Filoni and his amazing writing, but I'm already starting to see similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust Dave Filoni and his amazing writing, but I'm already starting to see similarities. Absolutely not. They are clearly banking on what makes The Mandalorian popular: Western atmosphere, the heroes going from place to place doing jobs (with Mando's bounty hunting having long turned into mercenary work in his show), a kid character that needs protection, Clone Wars cameos... I'm curious to see whether they succeed in making the lawless fringes of the Empire different enough to the lawless fringes of the New Republic to justify this show's existence. But then again, I never cared much about this show at all after their rather boring Clone Wars introduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlydragon Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The Bad Batch crew feel to me like it's closer to rebels. Wrecker feels a lot like Zeb, Hunter is like Kanan and Omega is Ezra. Although the escorting an important person part feels like Mando and Grogu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 I continue to enjoy this show. The world building is solid. In this latest episode Spoiler Who would have thought that one day we were sort of going to get an origin story for the rancor Luke has to fight and kill in Jabba's palace. Only Dave Filoni.

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Binged the first six episodes yesterday. I think I'm engaged just enough to continue. Am I the only one who's a bit disappointed by this series so far? After the way The Clone Wars ended and the overall quality of Rebels, the first five episodes of Bad Batch fell a bit short for me. I can't quite put my finger on it. Episode six was an improvement. The surprising cameos worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite put my finger on it. Episode six was an improvement. The surprising cameos worked well. It feels like the quality’s on par with Clone Wars, except Clone Wars could mix it up whenever they feel like it, having light hearted droid stories or brutal war stories and everything in between, about whichever characters they felt like. At the moment, Bad Batch doesn’t have that variability and it feels a little formulaic right now. I’m hoping they gradually broaden the story and the characters, although story wise, I’m not sure where they can really go given what we know. I still enjoy it, but I’m not gasping to see the next one and I’m not gripped when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 This is always the way every filoni sw series goes. Including mandalorian. The highs are great but there is often a lot of filler and a number of the other highs are because of guest stars from another series. It'll wrap up and probably be cool at the end with cool tiebacks to ahsoka and han and fett and a couple wookies along with some rebels characters, and it'll otherwise kind of be just there.

Although, with new series it sometimes happens that things are a bit stiff until they find their groove, so I'm optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'm enjoying it. I think it has good world building. I like seeing the immediate aftermath of the end of the war and the tidbits about how the Empire is spreading its influence. The Kamino plot is interesting, but yes we need more of that + Crosshair and his murder squad. But the season is 16 episodes, so they don't need to rush the story. Omega is very likable for a child character, and I'm convinced Filoni loves the actress's accent because of so many quirky lines. The deal with Wrecker's chip has been dragging now, but hopefully it will blow up next 1-2 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The episodes are reminding me of Mandalorian: Overarching story involving adopted child, but episode driven by mission of the week. It's like the mystery box procedurals from the 2010 like Fringe or XFiles or Alias or something where it's "case of the week" based while building a series mythology. ETA: I started looking at the voice talent for the show. I'm dense. I just realized who the padawan from episode 1 was... If it was mentioned in this thread, I completely skimmed over it. And Rhea Pearlman is Cid? Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice for consistency that they gave her a New Zealand accent, but it’s certainly a lot stronger then either Dee Bradley Baker or Temuera Morrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I'm pretty sure Clone Wars invented those laser bows but they're still ridiculous. "build up strength in your noodle arms!" or you know, get a blaster like a normal person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any cloning to create force sensitive people would be done at Sidious's request. Because it's a bounty hunter and not the empire after her I suspect she's some secret side project relating to the fact that they were out of Jango.
