The Bad Batch Series Finale - The Cavalry Has Arrived Review

@@williamrekow7513 0 that's the point. Everytime they "kill" a character people want them back and in some miraculous way they return making their death hollow and far less impactfull. Keeping him dead instead of some lame resurrection was the right thing to do.

I was honestly hoping that Disney would kill them all off, just to make this realistic and shut the door on retconning SW canon. But nah, Disney needs to keep that gravy train rolling along so now we have to retcon Omega being in the Resistance somehow.

[@fraliexb]

One of my favorite parts of the finale is when the Zillo breaks out of the hanger, and Crosshair asks, "Echo or Omega's handy work?" Hunter, Wrecker and I all said Omega at the same time. It was great.

[@grand_admiral_henrich4416]

Also a funny momet when Echo and Karr was discussing about Zilo beast attack after Hemlock left the Vault, (Not knowing it was echo), and he realised Omega was behind it. And Karr was confused on why he thought that. And he said "Because I would do the same". Thoese 2 scenes were so similar

[@STRAKAZulu]

I had the same reactions to both those scenes.

[@SomeRandomGuy789]

[@codey9]

SAME

[@michaelramon2411]

Echo's like "I would have thought of that" and Hunter and Wrecker are like "No, you wouldn't have."

When Hemlock got shot, that first shot was enough to kill him. Hunter made sure to shoot several more times because this was personal to him.

That scene was so good. Scorch first, then Hemlock gets the same treatment, blaster-equivalent of a mag dump to the chest into the water 😂

[@maja.z.pszczola]

They focused so much on how his hand is getting worse, and then instead of dealing with it, they just cut it off 🫣 (Also, I can’t remember the last time we had proper had dismemberment in Star Wars, nice to see it again…)

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Could you explain this? I'm not familiar with the whole “They Jamie Lannister-ed him" line.

[@meganwilson8601]

@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 Alex mentioned it in the episode, but it’s a reference to Game of Thrones. Jaime Lannister is a well-known, arrogant sword fighter. In an attack, he’s held to the ground and his sword hand (his dominant fighting hand) is cut off. It’s a big character moment because his whole identity is in his fighting ability and he has to grow from it. The position and circumstance Crosshair is in when his hand is cut is very similar.

[@elcantantedecorcho]

Why that reference, Star wars is well know for cutting right hands, I understand the Lanister thing but That limb is poetry here...

"Omega needs all of us, and so do those clones. We've always known the risks, and so did Tech. We do this together." Loved that scene so much. I didn't think Crosshair still felt he deserved to sacrifice himself as a way for him to forgive what he did to his brothers and sister in the previous seasons, but I loved just how much love his brothers should him and how much they value him.

[@RogueStar97]

Echo saying "clones don't leave our brothers behind" is the absolute perfect summation of the entire clone wars/bad batch arc

[@celsetialarchives5909]

[@joaopedroformozo6555]

It was perfect in my opinion, havent cried like that since watching aftersun. As someone who grew up with TCW, seeing Echo say "clones dont leave our brothers behind" really brought back memories from when I was just a kid watching season 1 of TCW. This show really was an ending for the clone saga, and what a ending it was. Did not expected to grow so attached to this characters 3 years ago, but here we are

Before I even watch this video, I’ll just say I liked the episode. I was a little surprised Rex and friends didn’t show up since I think I had it in my head they would be the “cavalry” in the episode title. I also jumped when Tarkin arrived JUST AFTER the clones escaped. We were so close to a borderline Rogue One like tragedy and I’m SO relieved that didn’t happen hahaha.

[@BlindJedi]

It's a direct reference to Wrecker's line in Clone Wars season seven. It's so poetic that it was only the Bad Batch, the group the line referred to back then.

[@JAN2MARS]

@@BlindJedi You have a significantly better memory than me. I wouldn't have even thought about that for even a second.

[@BlindJedi]

@@JAN2MARS that line is actually the first time we ever hear Wrecker speak. As shown in the trailer, and I believe original animatic. It's signals the introduction of the Batch. Brilliant they decided to name the finale that.

[@Robotfan987]

The epilogue with Omega wanting to fight as a pilot for the rebellion echoing Luke in ANH was an absolutely perfect echo. Star Wars gets a lot of flak for repetition but that moment felt completely earned and I hope we get to see her again in a meaningful way.

[@jonathonchastain491]

There's also no way this would have ended with Omega doing anything else, it's completely in her personality to join the rebellion. People complaining about that are looking for things to complain about

[@seanmweetwa5910]

Wrecker was ruthless, but Echo was crazy. I mean, did anyone notice just how many people Echo killed in this episode?

[@CC--bp5rt]

I also noticed he quickly left that stun feature off unlike most of the others

[@djorankeil]

I really felt they did Echo a bit dirty when he was part of the Bad Batch. He was always overshadowed by Tech. Anything he tried to do would either fail or take too long and Tech was always the one who ended up doing it for him, and faster. Was good to see Echo finally get his moment.

[@noahmaldonado5461]

They honestly disrespected him so much. He was just a nameless commander the whole time

[@ohzenn]

I agree, in my head, it's made better by the fact that Scorch basically warned Hemlock not to send the ships away for the Zillo and Hemlock did it anyways and it ended up biting them in the ass and Scorch died because of it. It shows the failure of blindly following orders aka the Imperial way. If Scorch had been allowed to take charge of the situation himself, we may not have gotten as happy of an ending as we did..

[@skufed5150]

Excited to see what they do with adult omega joining the rebellion

All three members of the Batch that were outside of the base had tense moments where I thought they were going to bite it. Getting back to the hand though, technically that's a blessing. There's no reason why he can't get a prosthetic like so many other characters have done, and if you think about it that'll alleviate his accuracy issue entirely.

[@wargamingsupernoob]

I look at it this way: he was trained on how to shoot with his off hand like all more advanced units are. He would have been comfortable with it, even though he'd prefer his right hand instead.

I hope we find out what happens to Echo. He’s never mentioned in Rebels, which means he’s either dead or parted ways with Rex and gave up the fight. Hopefully we get an answer and a series where Omega reunites with Hera in the Rebellion. I’m also assuming the epilogue takes place after Rebels.

[@KforFreedom]

I feel like Echo wasn’t with Rex during Rebels (because he kept going with the Rebellion this entire time). Whereas Rex’s mission was initially just about helping his clone brothers

[@DimaJeydar]

Hunter is about Rex’s age and he looks somewhat younger. About 10 years younger, if you ask me. So I would say it’s about 5 years before Rebels. Plus, Omega looks to be about 24.

8:08 Not only was it a difficult shot, Crosshair was using his left hand while improvising a sniper mount from the stub of his right forearm resting on Hunter's shoulders. So Hunter's absolute stability was also critical. If I were the DM for that shot, I'd be asking for so many successes, or adding so many difficulties, depending on the rule set! On my first watch it wasn't clear to me how Wrecker got out. Need to watch again.

[@MiaNilsson-x6m]

Yep. That's one impressive comeback. (He rested his gun on Tech's shoulder for stability several times during the TBB arc of Clone Wars S7.) Wonder if the reconditioning Hemlock subjected them all to actually helped restore his abilities?

[@RyanHaney55]

I'm glad they all survived, but it took too long to show Wrecker was safe from the gas and standing by Echo's shuttle. I was worried about him. I like that Crosshair had to make a key shot with his left hand. When Omega hugged Crosshair first, I teared up.

Part of me still wishes that Omega did turn out to be force sensitive, but a good friend of mine said. If being a Jedi or Sith is the only way you can be special. Then nobody else is.

That was the 1 thing I wish had been discussed. When Omega sees Nala Se, I wished she’d asked for clarification about her mutation that makes her a 99.

If I had to criticize this episode in any way, it's how dirty Scorch was treated with what we know of him from Legends. Gunned down by 2 very wounded and exhausted clones. Then again, my resentment towards that scene probably also stems from my very high hopes that Boss, Fixer, and possible Sev would show up in this series as well. Hell, there were already ideas at the start of the show that Crosshair would take Sev's position in Delta Squad as the primary sniper of the group. Still a great ending, and I have a feeling the next time we see Omega will be in live action, possibly in any of the series that will lead up to Dave Filoni's rumored movie

[@patchodraws9200]

a perfect end to the series. i know we were all going into it expecting tragedy or more answers to unnecessary questions, but the episode bucked all expectations of traditional star wars storytelling to give us one of the most rewarding and satisfying finales in recent memory. i noted to my friends when the episode finished that the entire batch survived, but it felt entirely earned with everything they'd gone through. at this point, they do all deserve to rest and live their lives, and i'm so glad that the death of hemlock and project necromancer on tantiss essentially means no one is after the clones anymore. they're completely free for once. all in all, it left me wanting more of the universe and of the story of other characters, but i don't for a single second feel like i need more of the story of the bad batch. as far as i'm concerned, this chapter is over, and i'm thoroughly satisfied where it ended. although now i really want to see more of rebel pilot omega in the future, especially if she gets to meet back up with hera !!

This was the first Star Wars series that wasn't a mini series like Kenobi that I've followed as it came out from start to finish and hooooo boy to say I'm an emotional wreck now that it's over is an understatement. I got so attached to these characters, Alex I have to thank you for saying "It's not goodbye, it's just see you later" because that thought is really comforting to me right now. I just need Omega to come back to Pabu after the Empire falls after the battle of Jakku and reunite with her brothers - including Echo!

[@MCLegoboy]

Yeah man, this Finale was solid. There's a few lingering things left open ended, but none of it was overly crucial to the main plot of the show, it's more just stuff I want as a fan. And I can't believe it, they pulled a Guardains Vol. 3! Not everyone escaped unscathed, but they all made it out! That's amazing! I would love to see any follow-up stories with these characters because there's like a 15 year time jump when Omega leaves to join the Rebellion (I'm guessing that means around 3 BBY or later). The Finale did everything it needed to, I'm satisfied, and I'm happy to move on to another story, but I'll be waiting with baited breath for any reference or cameo relating to this series. The folks at Lucasfilm Animation crushed it again, and it should go without saying that I'm excited for what else they have in store for us.

I hope that if we get a “tales from the clones” style series we get to see Rex and Omega Reunite in the rebellion

[@bemasaberwyn55]

And Hera

[@jocastadidntknew5980]

The Imperial Star Destroyer showing up got an audible gasp from me. I got so used to the Venators that I never expected one to show up.

[@noahmaldonado5461]

And it looked AMAZING

[@its_vintage2601]

I was shitting over Wrecker the entire time. The way the camera panned over to him I was like o_o

[@davidlivingston4203]

totally agree with you about being surprised that Rex's team didn't show, esp given the title. and yeah, I'm glad when they don't answer everything. It took away from Solo, when they explained every detail about Han. Sometimes the negative space in art adds to what you see.

[@TheFallinhalo]

you know seeing that ending with Omega joining with the Rebellion, it gives me the feelings that we may end up getting a "Tales of the Rebellion" series, with a set of episodes focused on Omega's time with them. perhaps the first episode being right after that ending scene, reuniting with hera and being inducted into the rebellion, and the last episode seeing her at the battle of Endor, perhaps even so far as participating in the battle of Jaku.

[@MingTongPang54]

Series finale of The Bad Batch is something. As good as a sendoff for the clones as Dave Filoni, Jennifer Corbett and Brad Rau can give them.

[@JonBerry555]

The bad batch babies, TBBB. 😂😂

[@batostudios]

The Baby Batch 😂

[@JustDevon1]

Adult Omega going off to join the Rebellion, and old man Hunter still being overprotective was perfect. I absolutely loved this show, and hope we get more like it in the future.

[@ibpiano5520]

The epilogue broke me.

[@lukestarkiller1470]

I was hoping we’d see the first real stormtroopers by the end of the show but seeing shock trooper variants of the TK-troopers was still really cool. And we got to see the first ISD-1 flanked by Venators which was so sick!

[@simonwookey7598]

I love how the bad batch met up with their engineered replacements - “the dark batch”

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

The Good Group

[@Stablemable2]

Seeing Hemlock go down, was classic Star Wars, mixed with action flicks from the 80s-90s.

[@Arauto_Kagnos]

The ending had me genuinely in tears. Such a good finale.

[@Jerao]

RiP Scorch. Poor bastard never saw the light.

[@erikperez8842]

I'm happy to see the crew wasn't Rogue Oned

[@shaneoconnell9279]

The facing off between the Bad Batch and their available counterparts was awesome. Like the Power Rangers against the Dark Rangers and the substitute Lobster monster to fill out the team.The twirling of the vibro blade esque weapons like the clone assassins in the Revenge of the Sith Ps2 game, and the Jedi in The Acolyte. The younger clones rocking the punk frog esque shirts. Brotherhood as a theme. Loved the shot of the newly unveiled Star destroyer flanked by their predecessor, avoided a Rogue One crash

[@josermaiz]

Bad batch season finale was so beautiful

[@CenturionMan15]

Fans: We've had enough OT content Also fans: Where is Omega? Is she safe? Is she alright?

[@nicoaldaco5351]

Thanks again for the neutral clip art on the video. Getting surprises in real time means the world ❤ you two keep doing what you do!

[@devinflint5554]

I loved seeing the ISD beside the Republic-Era Venators. It really showed how much bigger and more imposing just the "regular" Star Destroyer is.

[@Number1Irishlad]

I'm SO glad none of the X troopers were Tech

[@LocalCryptidGhostdoll]

The flash forward was so beautiful. I love omega, I wanna see her future adventures

[@_aprilfresh685]

The clones are my fave part of Star Wars!! Literally when you said the clones are the reason Palpatine's spirit had nowhere to go so he couldnt rule the galacy for ever, I started crying. They are ssooo special!!

[@gamestation2690]

What does he mean by "nowhere to go"?

[@colororb4105]

I hope we get a story someday where someone stumbles across the abandoned Mt Tantiss. It's an abandoned mad scientist lab that also has a man-made sith temple at the core. What kind of crazy monsters are going to mutate in there??? There are so many story opportunities

[@I_am_the_Bendude]

5:34 Early on we're shown that the Regs didn't have very positive opinions of the Batch, but in the end, when the Regs were given the option to fleee Tantiss, they chose to stay and save the Batch. Nice touch, that.

[@winterstime1138]

When they cut of Crosshair hand I just sat there with my hand in front of my mouth

[@collinhallett7720]

Idk who will read this but as someone who was 8 when the clone wars came out and growing old with this show. At the end it made me feel like we were omega throughout the show . As she grows old and hunter tells her she can always come back and they will be there was like the show and all the memories of the clones we had as kids . It felt like all those story’s we played with clones as kids or all the times we just wanted to be a bad ass clone. And this felt like all of that coming together one last time. I remember sitting at my grandmas house watching and waiting for the clone wars and seeing this felt like a true end to the kids who loved the clones even more than the clone wars. I felt like this was the best ending we could have asked for.

[@podracer35]

I was happy to finally see Hunter in casual clothes. Don't think we saw them outside of their armor much, if at all.

[@jeanniefromtahini5197]

What a lovely recap and review. And I agree 1000% when you say "...we also know what's in there." 😂 True! Absolutely. This finale could not have been better. I am going to be feeling these feels for days to come. 🥰
