The Bad Batch 2x1 & 2x2 Reactions | Spoils of War & Ruins of War

[@AarowSwift]

"Wilco" is short for the military/procedure phrase "Roger Wilco" (also shortened to just "Roger") Which means "Received, will comply". A lot of clone names are references to military phrases.

[@zipzeolocke2]

Good soldiers follow orders right Wilco?

[@jennym2276]

Gunji is the wookie Jedi. He was in the arc that started with The Gathering, when Ahsoka took younglings off make their light sabers. It was a four episode arc, in season 5. Could be a little clone wars movie for you to rewatch.

[@user-cu3jk6qx5w]

I love how they showed how competent the clones were here, especially Captain Wilco, he countered their escape plan multiple times and he was very smart. If these were Stormtroopers, the Bad Batch would have went through them like it was nothing and would have gotten away with the War chest too. I really like how they put respect on the Clones and don't nerf them to be as bad as Stormtroopers just for the sake of the protagonists. The Bad Batch already had more trouble doing missions against imperial Clones than the Ghost crew ever did against Stormtroopers.

[@mathies3598]

To be fair, having 2 jedi on your team helps

[@juliajuanafernandaalvarez1456]

They are still nerved and far more incompetend than in the clone wars. No regular clone can really hit a target. While the bad batch pretty much one shots everyone the regs don´t manage anything. Even if the bad batch is enhanced they still should have a pretty hard time against the regs. I mean even an injured Tech is better in hand to hand combat and shooting than a regular clone. Hell even Omega is. They are not as bad as stormtroopers but defenetly not the clones we know

[@Ptahnyx47]

So glad you're going back to Andor! One of the best shows i've ever seen.

[@stanleydodds9]

The significance of the name "wilco" is that it's short in the military for "will comply" (like "roger" for "recieved", or even "mikes" for "minutes" once in this episode). You can probably guess the meaning behind it once you know that, being one of the main themes of the show, especially pertaining to the clones. When it comes to stormtroopers, I think we'll see them out in the wild eventually, but as of right now we only saw the TK troopers being trained last season. It probably makes sense that they'd keep using the existing clones until either the TKs were ready, or until they have a real problem with clones that requires them to be replaced prematurely.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I knew that name was significant! Thank you!

[@m.e.3862]

Also the name of a great band 😊

[@Thontor]

Wilco is radio procedure word, generally used in the military. It's short for "will comply" Radio communication must be confusing with him around. I'm so happy you gave Andor another shot. I'm glad you enjoyed what you've seen so far. I can't wait to see your reaction to those and future episodes because it only gets better after episode 6, in my opinion.

[@m.e.3862]

I'm really enjoying the show. The action is great. Like how they've personalized their armor and that Omega has actually grown a bit.

[@CountryMusicMann]

A war chest is basically a collection of wealth for the purposes of funding a war, be it bribes, soldiers' pay, or raw resource caches. In older eras of history, war chests were actual chests of money that would be taken along with the army to pay the men or buy off enemy mercenaries.

[@zipzeolocke2]

I don't remember which episode of the clone wars it was but there was a episode where the youngling Jedi ventured inside a ice case with the Yoda to find a crystal to make their light sabers... and I recall one of them was a wookie

[@Spuriusrex]

Watching later but saw the thumbnail and said whoa her hair is different so wanted to say your hair look great! I rewatched your Arcane reactions the other day. Sooo good. I gotta catch up on Wednesday and this!

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Thank you so much!!

[@johnmiller7682]

I think these episodes had some foreshadowing. In the beginning of the first, Omega was learning about all the Empires ships, which came in handy. In the second episode, tech called the memory core a "separatist archive". When corrected and told that it was Serennian, and that Serennians did exist before the war, Echo stated that he hadn't thought of that. Right now, the Bad Batch still act and react as they always did. But times are changing. I think, as the Empire grows, the Bad Batch is going to have a harder time with missions, as they won't know or understand the new tactics and ships, for that matter. Remember, even though they're special, they're still a product of their training (programing) and it's hard for them to escape that. I think this season is going to show them growing more. I wouldn't doubt if we saw them disband, for at least a short time, as they start to flex their newfound independents.

[@BiggySn1p3r]

fun fact: 9:11 the two guys on the right from season 1 are voiced by Liam O'Brien (Vax) and Sam Riegel (Scanlan).

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I love that!

[@LucasxDucas]

Been waiting for this. Thank you!

[@btgardener39]

For the Wookiee Jedi (who I'm assuming is Gungi, from the Clone Wars), the episode arc you want to check out is Season 5, episodes 6-9 -- "The Gathering", "A Test of Strength", "Bound for Rescue", and "A Necessary Bond". :)

[@G1Transformed]

3:37 Alpha and Omega aren't twins of each other but the first two clones of Jango--Omega was made in secret, though Jango likely didn't care as he was doing a job. Alpha and Omega are the only clones that were grown naturally, Boba being the first and Omega being the last; hence, their monikers. I doubt that Boba and Omega know one another as Boba was given to Jango as payment and was raised by Jango on Kamino in his quarters--Jango still had to help with the training programs, simulations that would later be used to help tweak and improve the clones and well as updates in his DNA to reduce biodegradation, which eventually happened and they spoke about in season one. Boba and Omega are perfect clones of Jango, all others have variations of degradation depending on their creation and modifications, and I suppose these imperfections is what birthed their varying personalities. Cool! 4:50 Boba was 10-years-old in Attack of the Clones, meaning Omega was too. There's a 3 year time jump between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, and I assume the Clone Wars fits inside this pocket of time given the stories told. Omega and Boba Fett are teens now. Season 1 takes placing during Order 66, but one likely wonders how much time has passed since then with season two. Are we still in the same year or several years later? This was a great start, and I can't wait to see where we are headed!

[@The_Other_Dan]

I love how the fellas have their weapons set to stun while little Omega is using her energy bow to drop bodies left and right =)

[@funnylilgalreacts]

OK, so I was wondering the same thing! Is she straight up a killing machine now lol

[@jackson857]

Gungi was in the Clone Wars season 5 episodes 6-9 if you want to catch up for when he appears later in the season.

[@dcplunkett]

A figurative cliffhanger, followed by a literal cliffhanger.

[@Himmiefan]

Both Echo and Omega were reallly rude and disrespectful to the old man in his house. No one even thanked him for helping them.

[@3Kings_Industries]

Loving the new waves hair !

[@jollyrayda]

"Still talking about war..." - I mean, it is Star WARS... ;) I've mentioned it elsewhere, but the scene where Tech limps out to look for Omega and Romar questions his ability was something special - because rather than immediately launching into the 'oh, well, I'll come and help you because you're injured' thing, it just lingered on him contemplating the behaviour Tech has just demonstrated, and we leave it there. It's still Star Wars, and Disney, and a hero story, so the old man does inevitably decide to come and lend a hand - but that inevitability doesn't feel forced, if that makes sense. For some reason not immediately succumbing to the 'I shall aid you stranger' trope has really lingered with me... And in just two episodes of solid competency, being a quiet exemplar of 'good' clone trooper and giving us a 'bad guy' we could respect, poor Wilco was undone in just five words - "Your intel is incorrect, sir." Pour one out for a capable clone...

I've actually been curious about the star shaped pendant you wear in most of your videos. I believe you said it was for protection. I could be mistaken though. I was just curious if it symbolizes anything and if it follows any particular belief or practice? Cause it looks awesome.

Stormtrooper/Clone trooper distinction is an easy mistake to make, particularly in this period. Definitely doesn't make you an idiot.

I like Green Valley Galaxy personally because of the seats. But Cinemark at Town's Square, Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch and SouthPoint are generally good places. I'd stay off the Strip and N/NE, those are pretty sketch.

I think we were supposed to think they were storm troopers on purpose all thier armor are plain white no Moore colors and no more personalities however few clone like wilco and howzer seems to be regaining there integrity and personality, also wilco means = will comply with any order but he refused to lie for rampart think this means he gained his humanity.

[@MikeWood]

I was the same with Bad Batch initially. Didn't watch it when it came out. But the characters grew on me. Good Omegas' don't follow orders. :)

[@dcplunkett]

Minor gripe: Michelle Ang's accent bothers me, and I can't figure out why. Frankie Adams in The Expanse is also a kiwi, but her accent fits in fine there.

[@mikeycham3643]

In Star Wars you can pronounce character names however you damned well please. Note how many times Leia is called Leah on screen in the Original Trilogy.

Nothing to do with "The Bad Batch," but I would love to see you react to the movie, "Love and Monsters." I think you'd dig it.

OK Good Vibe Lady, you shouldn't be judging a Trooper by his or her armor. But seriously, a tropical paradaise and endless fresh crab . . . OR . . . Rex? Is it even close? Another (2fer) fun reaction, thank you.

[@juliajuanafernandaalvarez1456]

I gotta say I´m a bit disapointed, for getting nothing in the end the story should have been told in one episode not two. Also it´s pretty sad how besides Captain Wilco the clones are made so useless.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Wilco was super capable, like, he foresaw all of 99's moves. His refusal to doctor his report showed he still had a strong individualism and moral code and THAT's why he was considered useless and disposed of. Great character in my opinion.

[@juliajuanafernandaalvarez1456]
