And the Doctor Sleep reaction? WHEN?

[@raphael_2d878]

"They don't look like Clones." For the last fucking time... STORMTROOPERS ARE NOT CLONES. THEY'RE NORMAL PEOPLE.

[@brianalambert1192]

The writers asking Dave Filonig "Do you want this episode to be dark or wholesome?" Filoni "Yes"

[@callummiles2566]

Disney: "is this show for kids?" Filoni channelling George Lucas: "absolutely"

[@bluesorcerer83]

@@callummiles2566 Star Wars is "suitable for all audiences", not "only for kids".

[@JustChandlr]

why does everyone say dave filoni, HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SHOW 😭

[@brianalambert1192]

@@JustChandlr First off, it's a joke. Had to give a name that's associated with the show. Second, hIs name is the first one in the credits as the creator of the show. How much of an impact that means, who the hell knows

[@abeautifullie7579]

the delivery when Crosshairs said "I believe you..." was so cold and good

[@jonmercano1138]

The only clones Dee Bradley Baker doesn’t voice are the young ones and Omega. His range as the Bad Batch is truly excellent. Clones remember what they do while under Order 66, except for Tup in Clone Wars but he was in and out of it because his chip was malfunctioning. Wrecker’s doll Lula is a tooka cat. You guys are quite familiar with the sub species loth cats Lama Su is the prime minister. Nala Se is the female scientist who Omega was the assistant to.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Dee voices some of the young ones too.

[@jonmercano1138]

@ yeah like a couple. Other than that it’s Daniel Logan

[@MyToastyToast]

Congrats to Marketa and Chris ❤❤

[@slate8409]

Dee Bradley Baker is a bigger legend than most know in the animation and game space. Seriously, his credited roles are nuts. Every animal voice in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legion in Mass Effect, Wesker in Resident Evil, every clone in Clone Wars, Bad Batch and most of the more recent games like Battlefront II, and so, so many more. If you're ever curious, just go look at his career. It's nuts how many times he's been in something and you just never knew it or couldn't recognize him, the guy's vocal range is phenomenal. Another prime example? Him playing the Flood/Gravemind in Halo - half the sounds you hear from the thing aren't post-processing, it's nuts to see him just make those noises during line readings in behind the scenes audio booth clips.

[@RC1138_]

He is also the voice of bens aliens from UAF

[@1121b]

Legion is dc douglas

[@TheLiamster]

Admiral Rampart is voiced by the same person who played Bode in Jedi Survivor.

[@ent66]

Congratulations Chris and Marketa!

[@brianalambert1192]

I absolutely love the fact that when Hunter picks Omega out of the hole, the first thing he does is look her over for any injuries. Subtle touches like that just really sell how much he cares about her and how much of a dad figure he is

[@HaydenWerren]

Fun Fact: War Mantle (the project mentioned by Tarkin and Rampart) is one of the projects listed by Jyn Erso in Rogue One along with Stardust (Death Star project).

[@jomole1430]

Ever since I played Jedi Survivor, I can't stop thinking about Bode Akuna every time I see Vice Admiral Rampart on screen (they're played by the same actor). The reason Omega has such a distinctive accent (and pronounces her name with a long "E") is because the actress who voices her is a native of New Zealand, so she's speaking with an authentic accent.

[@sara-jayn]

Omega’s accent is Kiwi, not Australian

[@DUBSandChubb]

all accents are supposed to be kiwi as in Tem Morrisons kiwi accent, this channels not the brightest tho

[@charlesbaldwin3166]

It always amuses me the way when something bad happens in a show or movie people go this isn't for kids. As if kids aren't aware that bad shit happens. Telling kids the world is harmless is setting them up for pain and failure.

[@DUBSandChubb]

preach

[@thunderfreeze1544]

I never thought I’d feel this way but looking back at some of these episodes is starting to feel nostalgic just like clone wars. I think this show aged well just like that one minus the filler episodes of course

[@valathor95]

Even the episodes I thought were filler at the time turned out important, even vital. (At least the season two “fillers”)

[@jok86er]

If the Bad Batch was played by differet actors in live action my cast would be Silvester Stallone as Hunter, Jason Statham as Crosshair, Mark Strong as Tech and Dave Bautista as Wrecker.

[@kripidir]

nice casting

[@davidnobre5660]

I forgot Crosshair offed the dude like that damn

[@andromeda331]

Well, he's not wrong, the Stormtroopers become an army that unlike anything the galaxy has seen. They are so terrible it's hard to believe the Empire managed to last as long as it did.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

yes this is a show that trusts it's kids to understand/think about adult concepts

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

I'm from Ireland. Irish-English is mostly like British-English. But it is *NOT* "shedule", I hate that too 😂

[@benjaminportilla9297]

Congratulations to Marketa and Chris! Welcome Gungan Thunder Jr! This was such a great establishing episode. I love the relationships being laid out, and Omega finding her place in the team. DBB is amazing, isn't he? And apparently he goes back and forth between the characters in the sound booth as he performs the lines. It totally blows my mind.

[@im_nic]

The Bad Batch and Andor are the only Star Wars projects that made the Empire feel like viable threats. Obviously Andor mores than BB, but I appreciate both portrayals

[@abrahamchen8627]

"Good soldiers follow orders."

[@jackson857]

9:38 Anybody who says The Bad Batch is only a kids show doesn't know what they're talking about. 10:35 Yes they just did a mass execution of civilians. The Bad Batch is dark and that's why it's so good.

[@northernxdarkness]

I love Ramparts voice actor, he also voiced Bode in Jedi Survivor and one of the best characters in gaming history, Charles Smith in Red Dead Redemption 2. He's such a good actor/voice actor

[@abthedragon4921]

Congratulations to Chris and Marketa!

[@helinituhhh]

I love that even though you want to or do hate Crosshair most people are still like "why is he so goddamn cool tho??" lmao

[@AlbionOfAvalon55]

wrecker's complaining about his head was worrisome to me bcoz of the inhibitor chip.....

[@jostirton8101]

It’s crazy watching Dee Bradley baker live read for this at cons and stuff, because he just talks to himself 😂

[@luckbero2955]

Been a while since I watched this ep, but wasn't Wrecker feigning a headache so he could stay on board and make the room up for Omega?

[@brianalambert1192]

I can't wait for them to get to the season finale

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

No matter WHAT situation I was in, I would *never* kill another person just because I was told to. My morals, beliefs, and principles always come first. I'll never understand anyone who can do something evil/bad/wrong/unethical/immoral just because they're told to. Even if you're threatened with death, fuck it, every innocent life matters just as much as yours. And how could you want to live if you're a murderer now? "Orders" don't excuse anything.

[@feokazaki]

A little Michael Scott popped in my shoulder at 11:21

[@chavadx]

Please, we saw more violent things growing up than this.

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

IDK why Suraj thinks Omega has to have some kind of "ability." She's a clone, not an X Man lmao. Really enoying the reactions to the tonal shift from Rebels.

[@dwnkaomwn3953]

Who's to say Omega doesn't have special powers?

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

@dwnkaomwn3953 Because she doesn't lmao. The rest of the Batch were engineered to be specialists. Omega however is just the same as Boba Fett. Exceptional genetically and ages slower than other clones but not superhuman. The only hints of anything more are in season 3, there's literally no reason so far in the show to think she's anything more than a smart kid with natural talent. Especially nothing like the ability to talk to animals like freaking Doctor Doolittle.

[@heyiamnick4144]

To be fair when the show first came out there were plenty of people who assumed that Omega has some sort of special abilities which is why she'd be so important.

[@lchigoKurosaki]

That's how it was when the show came out too.

[@jackalope_hunter]

bruh i think it's sarcasm. its a joke about how ezra is good with animals lol

[@zexalplays]

"get the innocents onboard".... aren't they all supposed to be the innocents?

[@timslade5808]

Good soldiers follow orders

[@ericp1139]

Clones have no concussion protocol.

[@Xackadee]

Not the "this is not a kids show" spiel again, please. It never comes across that people are thinking of kids as anything other than Barney the Dinosaur watching 5 year olds when they lock them out of the 'really good, deep and/or dark kids media' box. Just stop.

[@cozmo4913]

Let’s gooooooooo

[@RyderDunei]

apart from making her a girl instead of a guy, the effect of Omega's "favourable mutation" is not very obvious, certainly not as extreme as talking to animals ; p

[@Mister_Matthew]

LETS GOOOO!!!!

[@smoky7451]

It wouldn’t be a Star Wars show if there weren’t some war crimes

[@respectthegoat1519]

Could you guys please react to transformers one

[@patriziosailor]

Good reaction, but seriously you guys, STOP confusing a Kiwi (New Zealand} accent for Aussie!!! Omega is voiced by Michelle Ang, from New Zealand!
