[@wrought-ironheroEMIYA]

I cant help getting tense everytime sidious showed up in a scene. Even when i know whats going to happen with his plans its still unnerving to hear him talk about it

[@masterbuilder675]

Cold shivers down our spines every time he shows and speaks

[@m310grass]

Ian McDiramid is just really good at sound evil

[@oddmanout8692]

His presence carries weight. You know he is going to screw somebody over very badly, we just don't always know who or why.

[@spyrofrost9158]

I was kinda waiting to see him zap the Kaminoan lady. Not because I want her to die, but because I want him to zap someone.

[@Crazy_Talk96]

He's creepy to look at & even though I'm almost 30 he freaks me out

[@MerkFreeks]

The fact that the clone cadets from S2 are the ones in Episode 2 is an insane callback that even I didn't realize at first

[@halfblood5995]

Dang are they really?

[@TakenWasTakenYT]

Which episode?

[@LinoGuzman]

@@TakenWasTakenYTthe last few episodes on kamino where they’re asking where they’re being transferred to

[@Fireandbubbles]

@@halfblood5995yep, and the leader is voiced by Daniel Logan, who played young Boba in attack of the clones

[@TimDaco]

That was Season 1, but yeah I think they are.

[@gotone2513]

One good call back was in the third episode of Season3 when Crosshair basically let’s Omega come up with an escape plan that eventually leads them to nowhere in the middle of the wilderness with them having to improvise their way through. Omega apologizes to Crosshair for leading them to a dead end while being cornered by Imperials, but Crosshair, having a new found trust in Omega, tells her that she got them this far and that their fight isn’t over yet. In the last episode of Season 1 after going through the wreckage & underwater tunnel on Kamino, they were also brought to a dead end by Omega who had led them to that point because she knew the facility better than any of them. Everyone had unwavering trust in Omega except Crosshair. In that moment he said “That’s what happens when you put the mission in the hands of a child” or something to that degree and that alone just shows just how far Crosshair has come in his character journey. Two almost identical situations when their backs are against the wall in which they’re facing life or death & having Omega basically decide their fate. Brilliantly done.

[@hendrikgreiner8449]

A thing that stuck out to me that i really like is that with Palpatine, we see the mask of Hemlock slip to reveal what drives him. And its as always in the Empire, his own ambition. Quite burning ambition as far as i read the scene, after he basically presses Palpatine on the issue right then and there. Palpatine, of all people. Also, he is not as cold and calculating as tries to put on, the second Omega escapes the man has what i can only really describe as a severe tantrum and he completely loses his cool.

[@christopherwhyte1818]

Yep I picked up on that too, added so much depth to an already great scene. Similar to Krennic and Vader on Mustafa, except this time Palpatine elected not to "force"ibly put Hemlock in his place (or use a bad pun)

[@occam7382]

@@christopherwhyte1818, yeah, Palpatine is smarter than that. He basically told Hemlock, "I'll think about it... IF you succeed." without actually saying it.

[@statickaeder29]

I love the character development of Omega and Crosshair. Having the clone kids come up is another way in which the Bad Batch is totally different than the Regs. I completely agree with how supposed "filler" episodes are not actually filler - they are worldbuilding episodes that create more context. It's like having the murder weapon in the first scene of a novel, but unlike a novel you don't have the space to describe things, so you create that extra context with seemingly extraneous episodes.

[@commodorekhan8602]

Except when the seasons are near half the size of Clone Wars seasons, and they announce this season is the final season to explain allllll of the questions they've brought up to this point

[@wangbot47]

Strong start to season 3.

[@isaackim7675]

We need a Bounty Hunters series under the same animation during the Imperial Era

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

They should do a video game where you play as 4 or 5 different bounty hunters, anthology style, spread across different timelines. Would be a layup

[@Pandee_customs]

Imperial commando😭

[@lucasdolding6924]

Or a Maul series about rebuilding his criminal syndicate

[@alejandromolina7270]

Under Disney they'll make it too vanilla and not as dark as it should be.

[@TempoLOOKING]

Not by Disney

[@LumVaughan]

From the gorgeous CGI animation to a much tighter, focused story-line, these three episodes were very nicely done and I think a great beginning. The writing was improved from last season and the story-line was somewhat more mature as well. I find it interesting the themes of former 'villains' now trying to do something good. Crosshair's redemption arc is of course one of the major themes this season, but I think Nala Se is also trying to redeem herself somewhat for her wickedness during the Clone Wars series when she stopped Fives from blowing the lid off the inhibitor chips in the Clone's heads. It was also great to see some of the youngest clones and hopefully they'll survive the end of the series and live on into the time of the rebellion.

[@dancingvalkyrie]

These 3 episodes were shit. Lol "Omega was nice to the dog and now the dog saved her proving the scientist man wrong about trust!" What a masterpiece amirite 🤡🤡🤡🤡

@@RelaxAndRawr Something decent but i got something worthless instead

[@JHF_Gaming]

I remember when the Purrgil episode of Rebels was dismissed as filler...

[@beenalive1736]

Tbh Rebels didn't have any filler. Assets used on every episode, be it plot points or some sort of character development were always brought up later on in the series. Structurally and in portraying characters, it's probably Filoni's best work. Bad Batch will probably follow suit in these sectors since it follows the same patterns and a continuous plot/cast. CW was also a masterpiece but as an anthology

[@theworkshopwhisperer.5902]

I was watching all three episodes in one go and my friend said something interesting. "It's a lot more like Andor." It absolutely is it slowed the story right down and it's cooking the nuance to perfection. I am loving every single second of it but it might put a few people off if they are jumping straight into series 3. I think it's a sacrifice worth making if it's the final series.

[@ajc-ff5cm]

I like seeing the transition from the Republic to the Empire; we never saw that much in other media. Id like to see a Victory or Imperial Star Destroyer before this season is done.

[@ncrhyena]

Can we all agree that we wish to see some closure for Cody? Or... a teaser for more Cody content?

[@GenerationTech]

I really feel like captain Rex, echo and Cody should get their own show

[@ClericOfPholtus]

It did feel like they sowed the seeds for that with that episode in S2 where they were doing their own rebel attacks on Imperial ship​@@GenerationTech

[@RRaptor86]

It would be great to see Cody come back as the head of a rebel cell comprised of clones.

[@MercenaryPen]

@@GenerationTech better hope they survive until the end of this season first- if the clone rebellion kicks off before the end of the season, we could see a lot of KIA (especially with the mention of Base Delta Zero in episode 2)

[@Fireandbubbles]

@@GenerationTechI’m hoping for a clone rebellion show rather than having that squished into the back end of the bad batch

[@oddmanout8692]

Filler episodes are character development episodes if the show is good. Read between the lines.

[@mickdipiano8768]

The Durands showing up in the second episode is a perfect example of nothing being filler. One episode in season 1 suddenly became very important in season 3.

[@killscribe]

GENETICALLY MODIFIED SARLACC! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THAT!

[@Starwarslegorob]

Alan I love this series ! I’m a big Animation fan, especially S7 & Bad Batch ! The story telling , it all works !

[@benspooner7396]

After bad batch, I just want a show something like “tales of the clone wars” and it’s just all the cancelled arcs. Boba fetts and bane, ventres and voss, maul breaking out, bad batch on kashyyyk? But those types. Some of the cancelled arcs could do really well as a series separate from the clones

[@Squiddy-go1du]

I hate the term “filler episode” it seems to get used whenever there is an episode people find boring. I’ve seen people call episode 2 of season 3 “filler” the show is called “the bad batch” not the empire show, just because it doesn’t really have the empire in it doesn’t make it a “filler episode”.

[@commodorekhan8602]

Its filler because it didnt progress the story at all. Everything in episode 2, we knew (minus the vine sarlacc i guess?). The characters it introduced are just going to be sidelined too, so the episode was pointless

[@silmarildust]

@@commodorekhan8602 the season hasn't finished yet, how would you know if it's not relevant? Did you not watch the video? They've brought back characters from previous seasons before and so called 'filler' episodes have been shown to have been relevant

[@bobthestinky7369]

Filler episodes are definitely a thing, but I wouldn't call Season 3 episode 2 a filler. It's about Hunter and Wrecker searching for intel about Omega's whereabouts. It's a direct plotline about characters finding other characters. Filler is Goku learning how to drive a car.

[@commodorekhan8602]

@silmarildust Thats true, but if season 2 taught us anything, it's that filler episodes are definitely something that can happen in this show (half of season 2 were filler episodes and in the recap at the start of season 3, none of those filler episodes were even referenced to as important information)

[@commodorekhan8602]

@@bobthestinky7369 i could see that, but i will say it still feels like wasted time in the show. Like anytime we didnt see Hunter or Wrecker in episodes 1 and 3 we didnt think "oh they must have given up. I wonder what they're doing right now." We all knew they were doing what they could to find them. They could've literally showed up to them, claiming they found where they were from finding Hemlocks old base, yatta yatta and nobody would have an issue with that, while getting better used time for the more interesting story going on at Mount Tantis

Bad Batch is quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars media period.

[@yellowhairsioux8543]

I love that non of this has been filler so far! Omega and Crosshair’s escape had me on the edge of my seat!

[@commodorekhan8602]

Episode 2 was pretty much filler. The whole episode summed up to "hunter and wrecker are still looking for omega" so it was pretty much pointless. It didn't develop either of the two at all either

Having Jimmy Simpson do the voice of Hemlock reminds me of Westworld and how good season 1 was. I love your channel. I just rewatched Andor. I bought some Andor memorabilia. They gave a coin to the cast and crew of season 2. There are some for sale on British Ebay and I was able to coax one out of someone for way lower of a price than most were for sale for. I work as an extra and wanted so badly to be part of Andor. It was not to be as I couldn't really go grovel in England but can't wait for season 2 of Andor.. Next thing I want is an Omega t-shirt. You should make one for your channel maybe with Omega on one side and Michele Ang on the other...

[@ADDOITALLDAY]

Excellent video. I’m enjoying the first 3 episodes. I’m not a sequel fan but if they can make it make sense, then I’m all for it.

[@mortagon1451]

There's definitely a darker tone to the first three episodes of this season. While I dislike the sequel trilogy I always thought the Palpatine clone storyline had some potential, they did it in legends and it worked there so I'm not really bothered to see that particular plot point being expanded upon. Now if we could get a Luke new Jedi order show, showing the rise and fall of Luke instead of just being told about it in the sequels, maybe they can make the Last Jedi a little more palatable.

[@cptsteele91]

I see what you mean but I'm not so sure, I mean Palpatine coming back in a clone body or something is cool in theory kinda like how a slasher villain is never REALLY dead by the end of the film...but even when they did it in legends the execution still came across as kinda dumb, not quite as bad as how it got handled in the sequels but still not great, they could probably have done it well in the sequels had that been their plan from the start and not just a panicked hail Mary attempt to try and drum up some fan support. There's definitely a way to do it and make it work but they'd need a really good writer for that, pretty sure a retroactive clean up job via spin off material is the best we're gonna get for that unfortunately.

[@Changingtesting]

Yellow lightsaber rey at the end was a stupid ending, so many choices of color but they give her the generic “one above the rest” look in saber colors

[@supremefankai5480]

These episodes were very somber, not used to that being sustained in a Star Wars story, it certainly kept me tense for the duration. Really tells us how the rest of the season is gonna be, can't wait to be emotionally crushed...

[@Snowboardjedi892]

I enjoy how you reveal hidden or true meanings behind so many SW stories, including politics, war, relationships, purpose and more. I also recognize the view of Battery Park and always get a kick out of seeing it in the background!

[@battousaithemanslayer9646]

Good review and analysis. I always appreciate good faith comment. These three episodes reassure my conviction in animation as a medium for canon stories. It is always reaching new heights in terms of visuals and depth in its storytelling. I am hoping that after The Bad Batch we can get an animated project post ROTJ or between TLJ and TROS. The Sequels offer very good material to work and develop upon. My favorite episode out of these three was the second episode. Can’t wait for what’s coming!

[@neilhannan5112]

I wish if Disney didn't have Kept the old republic Canon if they do I would a animated series like the Clone Wars to take place during the galatic war between the sith and the Republic with multiple characters and how galaxy was affected for 28 years or they could expanded it like with Cold War that happened after The Eternal Empire or my favourite idea it would be set during the hundred years of darkness like Game of Thrones live action ❤

I think Omega was the first successful force sensitive clone. It would explain her extremely attuned emotional senses and also it explains why Nala Se values her so much, because we all know Kaminoans don't have hearts.

I know you'll agree with me on this one: what's with the whole inconsistency of Imperial Officers's and personnel's uniforms and rank insignia plaques? I mean it's barly been a mere year into Imperial rule and we've already started seeing Imperial-era uniforms when in the book Tarkin the finalized version of the traditional uniform won't be seen by at least five years after the rise of the Empire. I would have thought that it would have stayed repubblican in the First Season, whereas in the Second Season it would start to change: the upper tunic should have become the Imperial one whilst the trousers and footwear would stay the same. The Rank placques would stay the same in the First Season except for Tarkin's Moff rank and that female Captain from that episode on Raxus. The first being a newly created position and the other a product of the newly created Imperial Army branch of the Military. Those random technicians should have been wearing black kepis and grey jumpsuits not Imperial Gunner helmets! And why were standard Stormtroopers piloting that Gozanti cruiser and those V-wing Interceptors in Seasons One and Two? Not to mention Rampart's rank insignia was the wrong one! It showed he was a Rear-Admiral not a Vice-Admiral. How fustrating!

[@RenegadeGamer89]

I actually think the clones Palps is making clones of Starkiller. They've mentioned they wanted to make him canon and this would be a good opportunity.

[@AaronHolden]

That death race episode was my favorite episode in the entire show

[@DarthTingleBinks]

Small correction. Palpatine isn't trying to create force sensitive clones. All clones, by the very nature of being living beings, are force sensitive, because every living thing is force sensitive. George Lucas has always said as much, and Dave Filoni made even clearer in the Ahsoka show in episode 3. What Palpatine IS trying to do is to create a clone with the same or an even higher midichlorian count than he does, meaning he would be able to use the force with relative ease. Or the clones would be able to use the force with relative ease? Even after seven seasons of Clone Wars and three seasons of Bad Batch, I'm still not sure if the clones are individuals, or copies of another. Would Palpatine clones BE Palpatine, or just clones of him, and thus their own person, to an extent. Would clones even retain memories from their donor? We see that Starkiller does remember previous "lives" in Force Unleashed 2, but that's not canon, so do we just disregard that? Does Snoke remember being Palpatine once, or was he always just Snoke?

In "legends", which I prefer to Disney, there is such a thing as force madness which prevents force sensitive clones.this is brought out in the original Thrawn books.

I think it’s perfectly believable that Nala-Se while cold and distant, cares very deeply for Omega, the only thing she really has left of her home and research after the empire destroyed it. She lost everything and so she’s not used to caring but she does and her actions show it.😊

the entire "confined" episode I just felt cold. So they did a great job with the esthetic of mount tantis.

We will most likely see the stormtroopers new armour in this season. As 18 bby takes us into the invasion of mocala. And by then stormtrooper armour is around.

I think the reason echo and Rex weren’t in the first few episodes is they couldn’t get their voice actors for more time, also why we haven’t seen Wolffe

[@tylerhenry5575]

They are all the same voice actor though

[@KyloStimpy]

every adult, male clone from Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker

I was definitely feeling some Andor vibes in that first episode.

[@poloralphfloweren]

I enjoyed it, glad they released the first 3 episodes at once.

[@rohn-zc5sx]

It is awesome all three 💯👍

I can't say I like TBB much at all, but honestly, the filler episodes and characterisation has been exemplary, perhaps even reaching similar levels of emotion to the best of TCW and it has fantastic acting and the usual chef's kiss of any Filoni show: Kevin Kiner's score. The sheer quality of animation has also made the animation style of TCW bearable (I personally think that TCW's art style looks weird and prefer the majority of the SW Rebels models, which, if they had the anywhere near the same animation budget as TCW, would have been gorgeous), which is always great, even if the already weird-looking Tarkin model has been changed into the current abomination and the fact that they went with the McQuarrie stormtrooper design over the TFU PS2 clone stormtrooper design was a poor choice IMO. But generally good.

Enjoyed the first episode and hope to watch the other two over the next few days. Confined captures Omega's experience as a captive and lab assistant to Dr Hemlock. Hemlock is the closest thing in Star Wars to Dr Joseph Mengele.

I love mouse droids mistreatments😂

[@TAGATOR]

I was going to watch one episode over three days to saver them. I couldn’t resist binging all three. That’s how much I enjoyed the episodes.

[@heidifedor]

I’m also wondering if Omega’s being female has something to do with her being the key.

[@GeorgeTyrrell-qm2ep]

I want the final of season 3 to have wreaker hunter crosshair echo and tec have one last fight together

[@harveymedlicott-revell7069]

I know its more likely than not a bunch on sheev clones but it would be pretty hilarious if it just isnt and filoni has just been messing with us.

[@nexern3211]

Rebels really missed out on this artstyle 😢
