[@cab12300751]

In the story reel version, Rex doesn't mention that he thinks Echo is alive. Rex says that he made an algorithm and he thinks the separatists salvaged a drive that contained it from Echo's corpse. That's why trench says "the algorithm", It was supposed to be a surprise at the end of the episode when you hear a clone saying their ct number, because the episode was supposed to make you believe it was just an algorithm. But since they added that line about Rex saying he thinks Echo is alive, it kinda puts that idea in the viewers head, and then you're less surprised by the end of this episode. Strange thing to change, really

[@matthewletexier]

Literally just finished the episode, and I open KZbin to see this immediately. So excited!

[@jonasb104]

Honestly, besides the amazing lighting, sounddesign and detail of this episode, which are amazing, Admiral Trench is just a personal highlight of mine. I just like that dude and the way he acts and talks. *"At once!"*

[@obi-wan-cannoli]

Trench is in the lost missions, in the order 66 arc where the clone kills that one jedi.

[@Angmir]

Those Ain't "lost missions" - this were regural Season 6 episodes. Lost missions were the unpolished unfinished episodes released in a raw format on Starwars.com after Clone Wars was canceled those years ago. Among those - the bad batch arc, which is like 90% identical to this episode.

The level of quality of animation here...

[@twstf8905]

Just take a minute to appreciate how brilliant that is; whether it's the droid Army learning Clone strategies using and countering "analytics" here in this new (finished,) version, or an "algorithm," (in the original unfinished episode arc,) it's still a stroke of brilliance to invent and put into use a Squad of Clones who notoriously _don't_ follow any preset strategies or tactics whatsoever, in an effort to infiltrate on a mission to deprive the CIS forces from being able to gain such an advantage. The Bad Batch is the perfect answer to predictability, because they're genetically enhanced to be unpredictable. (Not to mention the Techno Union abducting, altering, and "plugging in" one of the original Clones who helped Rex invent the Grand Army of the Republic's strategies and tactics, who effectively helped write the book, so they could eventually achieve that advantage in the first place. If _any_ Galactic Military was likely to employ such measures, it would undoubtedly be one made up of Droids.) The levels of complexity are impressive, to say the least. If that's not intelligent story telling, I don't know _what_ is. ✌

[@karterbibens6203]

Dominos fall but also get back up

[@Trevcoop66]

When there is no music and then just fighting is amazing

[@TheKat12364]

Thoughts. Rex and Asoka with a bunch of clones go to Mandalore, while at the same time Anakin and Obi wan go to save the "kidnapped" chancellor. Those two things seem like they have to line up. To fit with Asoka being on Mandalore, Rex not being with 501'st with Anakin attacking the temple. Because based on the few words of dialogue in the Mandalorian there was a very heavy presence there, when order 66 happened.
