Star Wars: The Bad Batch | 1x1 Reaction | Aftermath

[@misterevil1967]

The reason that little boy has the voice of a 40 (Actually 46) year old man is they used the same actor that voiced his adult self in the Star Wars: Rebels animated series. A series I highly recommend.

[@Darthdesmond]

Shes doing Rebels actually!

[@joesoq]

yeah thats really funny. i dont think they even tried deage (can you do this? or just anything else to make him sound more younger)

[@brutishwing2.090]

@@joesoq it's because Freddie doesn't care for the franchise, he's stated multiple times that it's simple just a job and nothing else

[@Rocket1377]

@brutishwing2.090: That is not true. FPJr has given many interviews where he passionately talks about Star Wars, and defends it from haters. Those are definitely not the words of someone who is "only doing a job" for the money.

[@joshuawells835]

Padawan Learner Caleb Dume did appear in Tales of the Jedi and here. Before that, he first appeared as one of the main characters in Star Wars: Rebels, but he went by another name following Order 66. I'll let you find out if and when you start Rebels. That is also out AZ, who helped Fives uncover Order 66 following Tup's malfunction.

[@Unknownfool]

Azi the medical droid is a real one for sure, he is the droid that helped fives remove hos inhibitor chip in clone wars and helped him figure out the truth about the clones. Sad that he never mentions fives to echo because fives was like the only clone that really befriended a droid and i think azi and echo could have an interesting arc together about remembering fives and try to honor his sacrifice

[@Arodr123]

Wasn't AZ memory deleted after 5s and Echo went to Corasant? So he shouldn't remember the events of that.

[@iremainteague5653]

@@Arodr123 no what i meant was that it would’ve been fun to see azi mention fives in some way and echo reacting to it and tell old stories of him and fives and then Azi tells echo about there relationship since clones mostly look down on droids and echo being scarred after what happened to him it would’ve been fun to see echo starting to sorta heal from knowing that one of his closest brothers trusted this droid like he was one of them

[@jneumy566]

That "boy" was voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr. He voices Kanan Jarus in Rebels which is who Kaleb is in this pilot episode. So yes, he changes his name for his protection like Obi-Wan changed his to Ben.

[@timidwolf]

There is a reason the padawan sounds like he does, but won't make sense until much later in your Star Wars universe viewing. Best not to think about it for now! Saw Gerrera first appeared in the Clone Wars Onderon arc, he and his sister were independent freedom fighters against the separatists that the Republic couldn't legally help so Obi-wan, Anakin and Ahsoka gave their group some covert training.

[@stanleydodds9]

A couple of things may be a little confusing at first, but it'll make sense eventually once you've seen some key clone wars episodes and chronologically later animated series (and to be honest I still think watching it chronologically makes the payoffs better than the other way around where it's more like a cameo or quick backstory, but it's just harder to know who or what to keep track of). It will just seem like important-ish or named side characters are introduced quickly, become significant for a short time, and then disappear. It doesn't matter too much since you'll be introduced to them "properly" eventually, but it may just take a long time to link things up. For example, the most subtle ones you've seen (and likely forgotten) so far were in the final few clone wars episodes, there was a female mandalorian with Bo Katan, named Ursa, and I don't think you'll even know her last name unless you looked at the credits of the episodes, and a male deathwatch/maul mandalorian named Saxon. I don't want to spoil anything if possible but yeah, there will be things that come up very briefly and then much later will be significant again.

[@voxorox]

Caleb sounds old because they used the same actor who voiced the character in Rebels, where the character is older. But yeah, that was a big gripe among fans with this episode.

Strictly speaking, Omega is the big sister of bad Batch, as it is not cursed with growth acceleration.

16:59 Actually, he doesn't like that. He expects for all clones to follow with order 66. If not, that soldier hasn't followed orders and is seen as defective for the Empire. Tarkin was one of the 1st to personally see that the Clone program was no more due to expenses, and for Palps to have loyal soldiers on his side.

[@ThePorpoisepower]

The animation tech got a lot better since Rebels... especially in Season 2

[@JonPaulMaki]

Caleb was introduced as an adult in Rebels, which takes place around the same time as Andor (but came out before The Bad Batch). They just had the same actor who does the voice of the adult version do the voice for young Caleb. Presumably to make it 100% clear that's who it is (Caleb goes by a different name in Rebels).

Yeah, Saw’s first appearance in those Clone Wars episodes predates Rogue One by a few years actually.

Minor spoiler about the kid so read at your own discretion. emme already knows who he is.
