It starts out between the Rise of the Old masters and the Jedi Path. When the Ghost crew has to make a stop at Kaller. Kanan starts to have flash backs. The two stories intersect when Kanan has to deal with aspects of his own past.

15:58 Cutting in Ignis saying, "I've come up with a new recipe," was perfect.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

I'm calling it: Omega is Force-sensitive...possibly just by chance. Even if she's like Finn (so far) or Lyra Erso, and can sense/feel/interpret The Force, but can't necessarily control or wield it, that would still be cool. Great reaction, as always, Boys! (Said in Clone Trooper voice.)

[@bemphis2207]

Sector J-19 is in the Saleucami system (Obi-Wan decodes the coordinates from Eeth Koth’s hand signals in S2E9 of TCW). That means we’re going to see Cut Lawquane in the next episode!!

[@spencerrr9878]

Yep, in the episode named "Cut and run" 😏

[@___von___7377]

Can't wait to see an updated Season 7-style version of Cut

Me before watching the episode : "I don't know if I care about Bad Batch" Me after watching the episode : "MORE! I WANT MORE!"

[@robertk3696]

It's interesting that they are going to J19 where Cut Lequain is. the last thing he said to Rex was that he was welcome to stay with him and his family. Perhaps this is where Rex goes after parting ways with Ahsoka.

[@Eli.M]

Showing the kaminoans trying to hide things from the empire is interesting. Makes you wonder if Dave is trying to make the events of the force unleashed canon. By that I mean when the kaminoans made their own clown army to fight the empire...

[@Eli.M]

If that wasn’t apart of the force unleashed plot, please correct me.

its also so far very well writen.. as Caleb (Kanan) is shown to deeply hate clones 15 years later.. they made it so from his perspective even the Force 99 tried to kill him.. so no clone helped him

[@thegreenthunder5416]

Don’t know if you noticed, but her last words were “Run!” Kanan’s master’s last words were actually revealed to us back in Rebels by the Grand Inquisitor. It’s nice to have that level of consistency

[@zomish13]

In the Kanan comic Commander Grey and Captain Styles were Depa and Caleb's commanding Clones. They are the ones who killed Depa and then hunted Caleb down. Grey was the one who allowed Caleb to escape in the end after Caleb had been on the run for a while.

And, according to TV Tropes, Grey ends up sacrificing himself to save Caleb 😢😔.

@@erikolson4148 yes in the comic he did. But here I think they merged Grey and Styles and (I could be wrong) I think killed him off.

Favourite part was beginning & Caleb Dume (kanan) story, i didn't expect that. Loved how they told how Crosshair inhibitor chip was slightly kicking in making him turn on jedi executing order 66 & how he only fully turned on clone force 99 after kaminoans got him into medical bay on Kamino & boosted his inhibitor chip instead of him turning on them off his own free will.

[@inaki8331]

Yes guys! great episode, I love it! May the force be with you

[@EChacon]

This was an awesome episode and love your thoughts on the first episode of Bad Batch. It's even more interesting we got to see Depa Billaba and Caleb Dume (Kanan) in this episode and how Order 66 played out from Caleb and especially Clone Force 99's perspective. Plus, it was awesome to see the return of AZI-3 from the Fives/Order 66 arc, of course, I'm saddened to what happened to him and loving the character of Omega and what development awaits for her as the series moves forward. On top of that, seeing General Grievous New model again, but this time moving makes me imagine we might get the rumored animated Star Wars films based on Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple and possibly the Crystal Crisis arc very soon.

for the difference beetwin Tech and Echo, maybe Echo, that is more machine, can understeand and "talk" the machines lenguages, and Echo is the tecnical genius, for exemple, Tech can think a perfect plan for using a tecnology for the BB mission and Echo can execute the plan immediatly because he can hack and use the tecnology immediatly whit his interface clone/machine( sorry for the bad english, I'm Italian :P )

Yes, Tech is like Donatello, Echo is like Cyborg meets Neo. EDIT: Tech is like the hacker who hits the libraries and knows Russian code from Chinese code, Echo is the hacker who lived in front of his computer until it was second nature.
