The Bad Batch Episode 9 - THIS FELT LIKE STAR WARS

What an episode, finally Star Wars feels like Star Wars again and all because we have a force user and a lightsaber.
Omega follows after Batcher who hears a noise in a cavern. She walks in and finds a ship, and out walks Asajj Ventress. Back from the dead! I have no idea how she survived, but we’ll get to that later.
The bad batch see Asajj holding Omega and tells them Fennec sent her. How she found their location, who knows, but she is Asajj. Now if you don’t know who Asajj is, I’ll make some videos about her to be released this week for you. Basically, she’s a very very powerful force user who was the apprentice of Count Dooku at one point during the clone wars. She was a separatist and is the one who gave Anakin his eye scar.
Asajj tells them that M-Count means midichlorians and those who have it are more capable of wielding the force.
She says it doesn’t mean you’re a jedi, but it means you could develop abilities if trained properly.
She mentions how kaminoans made millions of clones, so it is possible that one clone would become force sensitive out of millions of clones. This is accurate with lore, as Starkiller had to be cloned over and over and over again for him to finally be made properly without any issues.

[@ImMistful]

When she said she's got a couple lives left I immediately assumed that it was nightsister magic that perhaps saved her. I think that would be a great canon way of explaining it rationally.

[@bindair_dundat]

Or maybe she is a cat.

[@clonedavenger]

Yep this makes the most sense to explain it and keep Dark Disciple canon. Although, I wonder how long she has been back, and has she reconnected with Quinlan Vos?

[@cheefqueef6494]

[@DarthDaddy-ib2jx]

I was thinking the same since she is one of the last and probably the strongest the spirits of the night sisters use their magic too keep her alive but she knows that there is a limit

[@Predatorwarrior18]

She’s definitely an underrated female force user. More likable than Reva and more developed and intricate than Rey and Sabine.

[@j4ze114]

She was my favorite character in Clone Wars 💯

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

I would agree with you on Reva (who doesn't even warrant examination) and Rey...but, Sabine is a character who isn't cut from the same cloth as Ventress. Plus, We saw a major motion picture (introducing her) and multiple Seasons of Ventress' exploits, along with a novel; while Sabine only existed in 4 Seasons of a series that had been geared to be less "intense" than TCW. Sabine's story is still being told, and We had a gap of about 11 years between where We saw her in SW: Rebels, to where We met her in Ahsoka, post-Operation Cinder and the bombardment of Mandalore.

I feel like the Bad Batch will end with all of them dying, and then Omega going off with Asaj to train in the force - not necessarily a Jedi, but as a strong force user.

[@shotszvgaming6974]

I believe one of The Bad Batch brothers should survive, I would hate to see all of them killed, the only way I’ll accept their deaths is if Vader just cuts through them, however not without a fight, but somehow Hunter or Echo should survive, this is the only way I’ll accept the deaths of my Clones❤😢.

[@DS9TREK]

I don't think Filoni will kill them

[@lmojol9673]

It makes sense for them to not survive. The only way I saw them surviving is them retiring on that island planet, which we now know isn’t possible.

[@gabriel.skywalker44]

I loved this episode. Asajj was truly amazing. I really enjoyed seeing her training Omega and being portrayed as an anti-heroine. Once again, I highlight Crosshair increasingly caring about protecting Omega, and also that sensational scene of him fighting against Ventress.

[@kylevanderploeg-wright]

I don't think Omega has a high M count. It's that her DNA allows M count transfer through cloning and that's what Palpatine needs.

[@kylevanderploeg-wright]

To add on, if Palpatine only needed high M counts, he'd just be capturing jedi or using Darth Vader's blood to clone. Clearly that doesn't work.

[@Soccercrazyigboman]

Good points both of you

[@Daniel-hm8xq]

This was the same conclusion I came to, an obvious and logical one, before the last 20 secs of the episode blew that out of the water. Ventress implies Omega has a high M-Count when Hunter and Crosshair press her about lying when she told Omega she didn't have a high M-Count. Wholy unnecessary for Omega to have a high M-Count.

[@Rollermanfromspace]

I really hope this is the case. I don’t want her to be force sensitive. Sabine being force sensitive was bad enough already

[@Daniel-hm8xq]

@Rollermanfromspace I'm not too upset about Sabine. Slightly annoyed but I think they laid enough groundwork to sufficiently rationalize it and make it make sense from a lore perspective. But Omega being force sensitive is simply unnecessary and irrational based on all the groundwork laid so far. She's only as force sensitive as Jango Fett, her donor is, according to the beginning of this season.

[@mikeclarke5732]

I said since the start Omega had to be a force sensitive clone and people looked at me crazy like it was so obvious

[@ZoomerUnion]

Yeah I feel like it was obvious from the start

[@ionatanmacbhaididh5736]

@@ZoomerUnion I remember seeing some youtube theories about it

[@Daniel-hm8xq]

Based on the clues from the beginning of the season, I figured Omega wasn't force sensitive but that she happened to be the only clone to successfully transfer the same M-Count from donor to clone without degradation. I never got the implication that they were trying to amplify the M-Count. Meaning that she was only as Force sensitive as Jango Fett was. This having the obvious goal of furthering the process of cloning Palpatine to the fullest potential. Force Sensitive Omega is wholy unnecessary, and I hate that they're going this route. They literally had a chance to save it when Ventress said she didn't have a high M-Count. But then they had to go establish that she's lying about that 🙄

[@starwarsjoey228]

finale: all bad batch die, apart from omega who gets trained by ventress. maybe the others sacrifice themselves to save omega also

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Seriously thought this was one of the weaker episodes this season - no additions to the best story line of the series, which is Crosshairs redemption & dealing with his PTSD arc - but I guess your average SW fan is "Mehy light sabre - mehy forces! Mehy kewl!" so "BEST EPISODE EVAHHH!" for that I guess? Man, Juvenal was right - bread and circuses is all you need to entertain the average punter. Still loving Bad Batch, but not this episode, it was average at best.

[@SpiderboyN2Jesus]

@@Beer_Dad1975 As great as that storyline is, it's very much a side story. The main story is whatever is going on with Omega's blood, which did have additions. This show probably wouldn't happen without her. The Batch likely would have just given in to the Empire and had no reason to continue the story without rallying around her.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

@@SpiderboyN2Jesus Yup agree with all of that - and Omega's experiences in Mount Tantis were excellently written plot progression. This episode didn't tell us the viewer anything we didn't already know, and the protagonists also learned almost nothing from it. It was a filler episode with the (now to me extremely irritating because it's become a cliche) return of a fan-fave character from the dead. Not only that but it also made the previous episode into filler and fan service as now they are at another dead end. I mean, I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn't up to the quality and story progression we've had in most episodes this season, and I can't understand why anyone would think it is "the best episode so far"

[@ReySkywalkerfan88]

The Jedi Orders coming back in Rey Skywalkers new movie, fans are real excited about it.

[@SpiderboyN2Jesus]

@@Beer_Dad1975 if that's what you think, then you don't agree with me at all. Sure we don't have any *definitive* answers, but depending how you take Ventress' assessment of Omega and what she tells Hunter and Crosshair afterwards, you *do* get a definitive answer 🤷🏻‍♂️ (which is clearly how Star Wars Theory took it; I'm still on the fence, but still). It doesn't matter. I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with having *very* obvious character develop in every single episode. If it's fun it's fun. The end. I don't see why anything else matters. Seems lovely critical just for the sake of being critical, imo.

[@liamphibia]

It's pretty cool seeing Crosshair and Ventress just duking out each other with "coiled snake" voices.

[@RiotnRespect]

I’m cool with it. Star Wars needs as many dope characters as it can get right now lol. Ventress is awesome for sure

[@AirbenderHawk]

AYE!!!!! Ventress is definitely one of my all time favorites since this episode dropped, and seeing her go hand to hand against the batch is majestic. WE need more of hand to hand combat scenes in future Star Wars media.

[@topdog5252]

It is very sad that all the Clone Wars episodes that never were, are now being retconned and replaced. The original stories would have been better in my opinion, if they were fully animated and the clone wars was allowed to reach it's natural conclusion. Ventress and Quinlan Voss were meant to fall in love, try to assassinate Dooku and do many other things. Quinlan even fell to the dark side and Dooku ends up killing Assaj, but Quinlan returns to the light after seeing what his actions have lead to. Quinlan Voss even temporarily was an apprentice of Count Dooku. Also we would have seen bounty hunters like Embo and Bossk go after Dooku and of course Dooku wrecked them all, but that scene was awesome.

Nah, it was average. SWT always rates anything with lightsabers and force powers in it highly, but ignores the genuinely great story telling of other episodes that progress the formation of the Rebellion and Crosshairs ongoing struggle for redemption and dealing with his past as "filler". There are at least a half dozen episodes that are far better than this.

And it was So Cool to see Her Train Omega! I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON!!!!!!

[@artiemedley9369]

Hate to nitpick, but Omega's blood is able to withstand Midichlorian rich blood being mixed with it. That's it. That's a sample of her blood being mixed with a sample of Palpatine's for confirmation. I believe Omega couldn't possibly be Force sensitive unless she gets transfused with high M-count blood. Raising her M-count would be the first step to "creating" a Force sensitive Clone. And also, that is not the message I got from Asajj. Whereas, in the past, the Jedi just came and took Force sensitive babies, Omega's only attributes are her pure heart and her ability to communicate with animals. Her electing to be trained would have to be just that, a choice. Asajj knows that anything is possible, but that certain things aren't achievable unless they go through the proper protocols.

[@MengzisDisciple]

But in Taoism from where Lucas got many of his ideas---it is the pure mind-heart (xin--means both in Chinese) that allows one to have powers and be "in-tune" with the Tao (the Force...).

[@Kasey_Barkle]

Straight resurrection is supposed to be a holy grail that SW characters are NEVER meant to achieve. Nightsisters wiped out, who cares, just chuck em in the pool. There doesn’t even seem to be a price paid or a change to her psychologically. One vague throwaway line that Bad Batch don’t even understand delivered while walking away is not “honouring dark disciple”. I couldn’t pick a more perfect example of ignoring and negating a book so completely . I liked the episode and love Asaaj, but I’m firmly in the “should’ve stayed dead, straight resurrection should not be possible” camp. Zombies aren’t the same

[@trevorwalsh7196]

I’m of course making up my own ideas here but maybe she can resurrect but the cost is never being able to become a force ghost or some spiritual cost later down the line. Idk but could be something not revealed yet. Also could just be true retcon and no consequences 😂

[@user-li4iw9rn7r]

I feel like this episode was more foreshadowing than anything. Because Ventress didn’t really test her “M-Count” only her use of the Force which is understandable. Also understandable that Omega would fail. But Ventress did tease the Bad Batch at the thought of letting Omega go. She probably sensed at their protectiveness and opted to leave the choice to them. I feel that’s why she lied. She probably respect Hunter and Crosshair’s willingness to protect her because all she has ever experienced was betrayal and feeling unworthy with her Master and Mother. Basically telling them “This is not my choice. But understand the dangers involved.” I feel like Hunter will come around. Crosshairs might disagree, but his redemption is so he might come around too. (Plot wise)

hello, it's ME, bobby WILLIAMS. I'm honored to join you all today to discuss Bad Batch Episode 9 - THIS FELT LIKE STAR WARS. Mister Theory, the young gentleman he is, has exquisite taste in media, and it's not something to make fun of! I agree that with the Bad Batch, we're seeing Star Wars as it was meant to be: rough around the edges, but heartfelt and gooey on the insides (like a holiday Reese's). Just wait until the season finale, where I believe Mace will hit the bad guys in the face (rhyme intended). My colonoscopy failed. The miniature camera, small as a speck of dust, disrupted my no-no cavity. They called an emergency meeting within the hospital. It took seventeen hours, but my internal organs are in stable condition. I'm not sure who is to blame. The doctors seemed nice, but a couple nurses gave off some bad energy. Time will tell who is at fault. I must confess, despite a necessary fast 12 hours before the procedure, I dabbled in some charcuterie tango. It is not my fault brie goes so well with prosciutto. My hardships put me in misfortune, but I count myself lucky to have a companion such as Mr. Theory to accompany me. "Vulnerability is admirable" - that is what he said to me once I was under anesthesia. Hard times shape hard men. In this case, I wonder if callouses will form in rather sensitive internal organs. Anyway, it's getting a bit late and I must rest for recuperation. I hope to return soon. And I hope you will soon make a video about my favorite little guy, Salacious Crumb - he's such a little rat! Until next time, stay collar-popping! best regards, bobby WILLIAMS

I want to see more but not in her own show. Andor gets the not by the book dark good guy but I’m afraid if ventres is more than a reoccurring character she will turn into the book of boba fett.

[@TheOnlyWalton66]

Its nice to see a clone wars character come back, never thought id be that pleased when ventress turned up but her whole aura now is that of someone new which is a fresh take on her. Maybe we see quinlan voss at some point🎉

[@hudbud07]

There’s so much potential for a Star Wars what If series

[@tengher1035]

This show is just too good. There’s no way this is the final season.

[@LogannDavis]

The breakdowns this season have felt really half done and short…

[@grizz8969]

Excited to feel that Star Wars feel again. Feeling a little confused with Asaj but i can get used to her being back

[@Blazetricycle]

Hmmm. Quinlan mentioned in Kenobi, Asaj is in this show. Seems interesting.

[@pascalhicks4376]

I might have a theory on "Some how Ventress has returned!!!" At the end of Dark Disciple, Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos brought Ventress body to the old Nightsister Cave Village on Dathomir and then put her body into the dark pools in the cave and then when the waters exepted her they turned green as the planet had clamed one other lost sisters back, and after when Obi-Wan and Quinlan had left, the glowing green waters had somhow revived her, like the lazerus pit in the Batman series that kept Ra's Al Ghul alive for 600 years!!!

[@jsalome17]

The sea creature was the same one Vos summoned in dark disciple. Even down to the color changing shell/skin

[@joshhudson7413]

This is definitely the best season of the show so far!

[@alejandroestrada5213]

Dude if she becomes a regular in the finoliverse I'm all for it

[@REIDiculous64]

You’ve done good with no spoilers on your reviews, wish I would not have gotten spoiled by this thumbnail and the thumbnail and title of your latest video. I know not many care about Bad Batch but I am still enjoying the show.

[@leefchapman]

What a wonderful episode! If this is the kind of force writing we are going with at the moment, I think the Acolyte will be done in a good way. It's been a long since we had a force-lore episode that didn't feel like it was pushing anything further. This was just pure force at work.

[@dallionaire8947]

I prefer her end in GL’s original clone wars short

[@benakpalialuk]

It was a beautiful episode it brought me back to the golden age of star wars

[@alandickenson8212]

I liked the subtle green glow to the fauna she summoned. Dathomiri touches I believe.

[@romanovballcosplay]

This was a great episode! When it comes to the beast control this was a really impressive scene however, it was vague whether or not it was ventress or omega.

[@DevonRussell-ky6dz]

I'm fucking dying over the thumbnail 😂

[@masterdan39]

Highly, highly unlikely, but if all these force users survive the time of the empire, and they some how try to rewrite the canon, I can definitely see Assaj and Quinlan taking a trip to the other galaxy, picking up Ahsoka and Sabine, bringing them back to the main galaxy, teaming up with the Rebels crew and the rest of the Alliance along with Luke to defeat Thrawn and that new imperial remnant, and after that, Luke starts a new Jedi Order with him, Ahsoka, Ezra, Quinlan, Assaj, Omega, Grogu, and have them go around the galaxy finding force sensitive beings, and unlike the previous order, give them the choice to undergo training. That would be my most ideal outcome for all of this. Again, highly unlikely, mostly a dream, but one can dream.

[@DragonIWarrior2055]

My theory is that Omega isn’t force sensitive but a different method was used to create Omega and possibly Boba also. I think that whatever different method the Kaminoans used is key to preserving a subjects M-count and the only evidence of this method left is Omega after the destruction of Kamino.

[@LaraA55]

I agree with your thoughts on Ventress. Her story is still unfinished, along with Quinlan Voss. She is a fascinating character, very much on the grey side of things

[@oliverdobell6860]

She has been trained by her original master, Count dooku who was arguably one of the best duellists in the galaxy at that time. What highlighted her insane ability was when she took out wrecker, we have never seen him get pinned down like that in physical combat. I can’t lie I thought when she whacked crosshairs in the head he was gonna either have ur arm fixed or possibly have his chip re activated

[@draum8103]

The animation in the fight between Asajj and the Bad Batch guys was super well done! And pretty satisfying as they were being annoying repeatedly saying 'I don't trust her' Omega said it best when she was like 'Well if she wanted to kill us she would have done it already'. Lol. Asajj had some cool lines, honestly I hope she comes back to train Omega more, maybe finally give her a lightsaber?

[@roguexranger9043]

Great character arc can't wait to see where she ends up. Also excited to see her and omega maybe in a new show!?!?!

[@a_blue_chicken1093]

One of my fav characters. She is one of the inspirations, which led me to start learning 3D so I can make my own version of this cool character.

[@disruptedfear4909]

I’m glad Ventress is finally getting the love she deserves, she’s been one of my favorite characters for so long and she’s been so slept on, sad that it had to get to the point where disneys characters are so bad they need to revive old ones but hey if they keep doing it good that’s fine

[@Thatboymeher]

You know what, I don’t even care about the breakdown…the thumbnail is amazing 😂😂

[@streetridersss8360]

Asajj Ventress was supreme! Love the fact that she mopped the floor with our protagonist!
