I loved the Episode. It felt a little like one of the good old political Clone wars episodes. It showed how the empire took over Ryloth, and continued to tell the Syndulla Rebel story.

[@yodaimpostor4781]

I didn't like it cuz bad batch was in it for like 2 seconds

[@its_dey_mate]

@@yodaimpostor4781 Exactly. Bad Batch is supposed to be for the bad batch. It isnt the clone wars, where the focus is to show the war in all its aspects. There are some cool things in the ep, Howzer is probably the best part about the whole thing, but all in all wasnt that great considering the point of the series.

[@pieceopye4046]

How many times are we going to see how the Empire is taking over a planet the same way as any other? We've heard this story twice already this season except now it just has a rebels character in it who dreams of flying.

Yeah. I think it's a great idea to have him in this series and see the affects of post order 66. Plus I hope to see Boil and Numa.

[@binl8169]

[@Stevie8654]

If there are no Jedi around, the chip doesn't matter. It's just a clone getting orders.

[@isaac_paech]

My theory is that Howzer's chip was never activated, because he was fighting alongside Cham Syndulla, not a Jedi. Logically there was no reason for him to receive the order.

[@mr559]

I like this episode. The way Hera reacted seeing the Bad Batch shows the presence that they have and her interacting with Omega. I like the little touch where Hera has her accent that disappears when she gets older. She does the accent too in Rebels when Thrawn captures her. This episode is 8/10 for me.

[@lyingcake210]

But I don’t know how to describe it, even with the accent, it’s a similar voice. Like the tone of voice when she ends her sentence is similar.

[@zikuga]

Honestly thought that episode was really good. I love seeing the bad batch doing work in the previous episodes, that said the rebels connections were nice to see. I enjoyed the change of pace and the way the empire slowly takes over each of the planets meticulously. Also howzer is an interesting addition as we aren’t sure about how his inhibitor chip is working or if it even works at all? He was hesitant with each order and acknowledged his previous friendships which is odd considering Rex had so much trouble when he tried to help Ashoka before he completely turned…

[@Uranicc]

bruh i loved this episode wtf. the political power grabbing for control of ryloth, the potential for another “reg” to be defective, and the fact that we had the focus shift off the bad batch… made it feel like a clone wars episode. i honestly would say this was one of the best ones of the show so far…

[@cezarcristian4666]

Ok so...again another great episode of Bad Batch. It felt so Star Wars man. It made me think so far. I mean for me it got tastes of the Mandalorian of course because of the Blurgs and Rebels because of Hera, BUT. hear me out. It also got Star Wars Force Commander vibes which is incredible awesome. Like They did that easter egg from the Republic Commando (another Star Wars classic) in the episode where Bane shot Hunter. Here, the chase scene at the end it felt a lot like the first mission of the rebels campaign (from Force Commander) when you (Bran Tantor) defected from Empire and had to rescue some prisoners. That imperial guy (can't remember his name) actually looks a lot like Bran's brother (Delis Tantor). Not to mention the bridging moments between this show and other Star Wars timelines. My very 1st thought when the episode started and I saw that crowd I though "well, this is a filler episode like the previous one". And it was. At least from the point view of the Bad Batch's plot development. But when you can put your finger and identify the source material from where Dave Filoni (it has to be him) got the inspiration from the episode, it's so satisfying...Sure you can be a kid and watch these animations and enjoy the pure artistic process. But for me, this is the living legacy of my childhood experience. This is the genuine vision of Star Wars at its apex. The vision of George Lucas! Really man a 4/10? wtf I'm out of here . You clearly do not understand Star Wars at it's most. Sorry to tell you bro. It's funny how I was so pissed about this show not being about Republic Commando but about this bad batch guys. But the context in which it happens is epic. Dude it's like f-ing watching the 1st episode of season 2 of the mandalorian and not knowing that the source material for it was kotor one...omg.

Those clones didn’t have their inhibitor chips active though. They rebelled of their own free will, which clones with active chips do not have. I don’t think Howzer’s chip is active, or at least is only barely active.

[@Wildfirekingju]

@@Gameguy-gk8lx Yeah I agree

[@jasonsingh3203]

Bro im only 2 minutes into the episode and it’s already fuckin sick, who’s the cyan clone trooper? Buddy’s seems like a savage

[@matthewnelson5699]

The cinematic aspect of this was very nice I thought. It also was a deep dive into character development. We maybe tie some things together here. This may be a pivotal connection for the Omega storyline and I think people will see that later.

[@bengitchell8725]

8/10 for me I LOVED being back on Ryloth and seeing it early empire also I like how they show Howzer displaying independence so maybe his chip isn’t all the way active and he could get it removed. I really enjoyed meeting heras mother. And the assassination of Ohm Fre Tah(however u spell it) was so cool. I wish the bad batch had seen more screen time, but I think we needed this episode to set up a bigger arc w the boys and omega

[@jaredomalley1208]

Was not expecting a Hera & Chopper in Bad Batch appearance! A welcome addition! Loved this episode! Wonder if we’ll see Caleb again?!

[@mcnizzzle3961]

there’s still about 2 and a half hours of the show left, maybe more with a longer finale. I want it to get going too but there’s still a full movie length left to unfold and we’ve come a long way

[@Alex-tr1ml]

I really enjoyed this episode, love to see stuff like this :) solid 8/10

[@Alpha_4608]

TV Show Idea: The Lost Commanders Rex, Wolfe, and Gregor venture out to find and save more clones from order 66 from distress calls including Kix, Boil, Dogma, Slick, Doom, Trapper, Sterling, Grey, Styles, and Crys

[@crancin1491]

There is a chance that the chip is wearing off and that many of the clones will soon be facing some internal conflict. This could set up a potential clone uprising.

[@reapergaming8810]

I actually really enjoyed this episode besides the first and last few i liked this one more than all the rest definitely an 8/10

[@pattyfife832]

Great episode, easily atleast a 8/10 at minimum. Gives us a break from the same rescue/supply mission episodes. Can’t really expect a cad bane type episode every week

[@ncrouso]

I actually really loved this episode. In my head through the entire episode I just kept repeating that THIS is Star Wars. The music and visuals and the emotion you feel for the characters having to deal with how cruel the Galactic Empire is becoming at this point in the story. 7.5/10 for me. Felt like a solid Clone Wars episode.

[@andrewhalliwell328]

Great Episode. Hera and Chopper origin story, another clone with a faulty chip? Lots of takeaways. Crosshair back in the action. Looking forward to episode 12

[@callumw742]

Easily my favourite episode of the show. 10/10

[@ace360]

Thanks General Theory as always

[@StarWarsGeek_03]

I disagree, I loved this episode for me it is a 7 out of 10

[@brandonaumiller3997]

Bro we got so many Gatekeepers in this comments section all hot and bothered that people enjoyed an episode. Like chill, I’m sorry you didn’t have fun.

[@lennonkelly-james2693]

Syndulla "I don't trust senator Taa, His plans for our world after the war." Mace "The Republic will help you rebuild. We won't abandon you" Syndulla "Your troops will stay for security?" Mace "For a while, to keep the peace." Syndulla "Another armed occupation is not a free Ryloth. How long before i am fighting you, Master Jed?"

[@capedcruis8er]

We’ve gotten three rebels main characters in this show so far.

[@TeemoForLife]

wow the first unique looking clone in the empire era they definitely giving that clone the vibe we're all thinking

[@koyo3376]

One of the best episodes yet. Felt like classic Clone Wars.

[@b.trillbeats8769]

This probably falls in the top half of episodes for me. Definitely better than the last one. Had me hella tense the whole time and having a perspective outside the Bad Batch made the universe feel much more lived in and real. 8/10

[@nickjcirillo]

I forgot I was watching bad batch until they showed up

[@SuidicalRaccoon]

It shows a lot about how and why the empire replaced clones. Clones arent loyal to the empire but are made to. The remorse in the clones faces in contrast to the humans recruited is interesting to me. It shows the main reason to changing to recruits instead of keeping clones. Also people are befriending the clones because of the war like we see with Howzer and Hera's dad. Didnt feel like a bad batch episode. But it wasnt bad.

[@hafsa_329]

If we’re still on Ryloth next episode, maybe the Bad Batch will somehow come back to rescue Hera’s parents. Cham Syndulla is still alive in Rebels

[@bobbyberro8107]

Amazing Cameo from the bad batch in this episode of rebels
