My theory is that Omega possesses the enhanced traits of Hunter, Cross-hair, Tech and Wrecker. She has already demonstrated Hunter's enhanced senses and Cross-hair's sharpshooter skill.

@@firecat4529 i don't remember. All I know is that there is one arc where she first returns and she's like an underworld vigilante and she helps the jedi discover below the jedi temple.

Like will they end up removing the chip from Crosshair somehow? Or will they use him to grow into villain, to dramatize the story? Will they remove theirs (to avoid that "intensifying" effect, just in case). Does Omega know about the chips (when she said "it's not your fault"). Will she be the one to tell them? Will we see more of Kanan? Are they meeting Rex on J-19? And so many more. Certainly will be eager to see what else is coming!

[@hellowhat890]

So... when the show was showing Master Billaba and Caleb Dune, I was so nervous when it revealed their Order 66 scene. But after I got over the sadness of it... I went back and found one particular detail that stood out to me. Notice that Master Billaba never killed her Clone Commander. I love that detail because it contributes to how Caleb survives later. She saw Order 66 relayed to Grey and was confused at first. But he fired on her instantly before she could question what that was all about. She disarms and kicks him to the ground. Doesn't kill him. She probably wanted to question him later but before she could even think, the other clones started turning on her with the order as well. Rapid escalation leads to her being overwhelmed. I'm not sure if they animated or did that on purpose in the show but... Commander Grey would eventually follow Caleb to Lahn in the comics. He would also realize that something had taken their free will when Order 66 was given. Spoiler: * He sacrificed himself to let Caleb/Kanan Jarrus survive. His last words when the other clones asked what he was doing as he blew themselves up to give Kanan a chance to escape... "Making things right." It's still one of the most epic and tragic one liners I've seen/heard a clone declare who executed Order 66.

I definitely think Omega is Force sensitive. That's why she's so intuitive, and how she made that impossible shot without ever having touched a blaster. It also explains why Nala Se and the Prime Minister don't want the Empire knowing that Omega got away (and why Nala Se helped her escape in the first place): the Empire's intentions aren't clear yet, and so they don't want groundbreaking technology like the ability to genetically create a Force sensitive individual to get into untrustworthy (read: not their own) hands.

I feel that. Was incredibly confused about the blue. My guess is budget? As for retconnong the comics, season 7 did this too. I have theory that the Kanan comics aren't exactly what happened, as of rn, I'm assuming anything in the comics happened as they did, but Kanan's PTSD, subsequent alchohol abuse and just time passing combined/shuffled around the order of particular memories. My guess is that Kanan's version of order 66 combines that day with a conversation he had with Depa the night before, thus allowing both to exist.

I would not only recommend this, but at this point, given what shows have both already aired (Clone Wars, Mandalorian, and now Bad Batch) and what shows are to come out (Ahsoka, Book of Boba Fett, Rangers of the New Republic, and the other shows that are building up to a climax with Grand Admiral Thrawn) watching STAR WARS REBELS is now a must. Without giving away detailed spoilers, it explains what happens to Ahsoka, Rex, Vader, Mandalore (during the time of the Empire), the history of the Dark Saber, explains why Bo Katan didn't just take it in Mandalorian, we see the origins of the Rebellion leading up to Rogue One and a New Hope, we see what happens to Maul, we see the development of Saw Gerrera, Grand Admiral Thrawn makes is canon on-screen entrance in the series, it even further establishes what happens with the Jedi Padawan you just saw in the first episode of The Bad Batch because he's one of the main characters of Rebels, and finally extends the knowledge of the Force.

When the galaxy is now in hostile, and there’s no more enemies to fight-the Bad Batch now fight a new war: the fight for survival, and uncover the truth about the Empire.

[@Pinkielover]

a real question would be why didnt she sense Mace Windu's death before order 66 was called... there was no reaction , she only looked at sidious calling order..66. Mace Windu was her master She would have sensed him being killed ,, Maybe Mace is still alive

[@minisarge2619]

My guess is they suppressed the training link, either because there's too much going on or by ceremoniously sever upon her knighting since Windu is a strict no attachment kind of guy.

[@emilylewis5373]

I mean, sensing some jedi dying in a war where jedi are dying wouldn't be too much of an alarm right away.

[@Schwietz83]

I hope they try to save crosshair, maybe omega could remove his chip.

[@TheWhills]

He said “Stormtrooper” when he shoulda said “Clone Trooper”. GET HIM, NERDS!!!

[@cybercase_7807]

Good soldiers follow orders

[@rl6757]

For this first episode I think being caught up on Rebels is more important than Clone Wars. Easter eggs a-plenty.

Clone Force 99 as the imperfect versions escaped by the skin of their teeth with the exception of Crosshair who had the inhibitor chip still dormant but just needed to be activated. He will serve as the anti-hero for sure in this series. But I think Clone Force 99 will try to save him from Tarkin and the Empire. We will also get to see Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand lending a hand as the trailers teased her this season.

[@cocelijah]

Will you guys watch titans season 3?

[@Brook11223]

Hunter's look reminds me very much of John Rambo from Rambo but you also have little bit of Hannibal's personality from The A-Team. The recap from Revenge of the Sith in CGI style with Kenobi fighting of the droids and Grevious escaping during the opening sequence is captured so perfectly. Continuity wise they are focused on the Clone Wars and seeing from the clones perspective.

[@Brook11223]

The narration is actually done by Tom Kane is another incredible voice actor that voices Yoda and does an amazing Frank Oz voice impersonation.

[@Schwietz83]

I think what it's telling us is, the Kaminoans are expert enough to clone force users, but they will have a falling out with the empire. so then the empire will try to replicate their success poorly.

[@brandonbaerga4972]

Also the tv side of Star Wars is killing and even though it’s season I consider it season 8 lol and I love this show already

[@FrozenTundra88]

16:31 Omega could possibly be a naturally growing clone like Boba without the growth acceleration. This assumes all five enhanced clones were part of the same batch. If not, the difference in age isn't relevant.

[@thedarkknight2221]

I want a Bad Batch video game in the style of Republic Commandos from 18 years ago.

[@whsitle]

ik it’s not quite what you wanted but they’re remastering republic commando completely it’s gonna be fucking amazing

[@thedarkknight2221]

@@whsitle I saw that on PS Store. But my idea would be to have you control each of the squad whenever you wanted, like with the characters from GTAV.

[@Triplephantoms]

@@thedarkknight2221 there is gonna be a influx of Star Wars games now the EA exclusivity is ending so there is a chance we could see something

[@Razgriz_01]

There is Boss He has a headband There are clones There is a Sniper hunting him and his friends Star Wars is slowly turning into MGS.

[@171QA]

Your reactions are golden.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

Crosshair is basically just the Winter Soldier now

[@sonyanightmare2783]

*What you said about Omega being old and such, technically she ages normally cuz the Clones even the Batch hav rapid aging...* 🖤😌🖤

[@brandonevans3267]

Bruh the face they made when the clone said Clankers

[@ShadowArtist]

this series take place 19 to 20 years before the time when Rogue One happens, so Saw looks younger and its before all his severe injuries and before his exposure to deadly gases on Genosa...

[@Sabatuar]

Judging by Ezra's birthday literally being Empire Day, I put this series as being around 14, almost 15 years before Rebels, and thereby approximately 18-19 years before Rogue One, seeing as Ezra's approximately a few days to a week older than Luke and Leia.

[@lindseysquire8417]

Weren't Luke and Leia born on Empire Day, as well? I always assumed that being force choked sent Padmé into labor.

[@minisarge2619]

Oh shit I totally forgot about that. Hunter letting Space Dad escape. I wonder how the man feels about that- the worst day of his life was the day "his" kid was born.

[@emilylewis5373]

@@lindseysquire8417 Its possible. We actually don't know. remember labor can take a long time so its possible that Luke and leia were born in the early morning of the next day or the day after.

[@emilylewis5373]

Correct. Rebels starts in 5 bby. The last episode is like 6 months before Rogue One. We know this because ezra celebrates his 15h birthday in season 1. We also know Luke and Leia are 19 during a new hope and Ezra is just a few days older than Luke and Leia.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, John! Thanks, Greg! 🌌 Happy STAR WARS Day to you both and everyone on our planet!!!

[@davidstrangeDMC]

Okay saw gerrera is in Rebels and Rogue one and is voiced in animated shows by Forest Whitaker I don't know if if he voiced all of them but he is in Rebels

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Liked the reaction. Loved the microphones.
