Just like Cody and Crosshair remind me of the Clone Wars, the new Stormtroopers and especially the Imperial Officers remind me of Star Wars Rebels. I’m not sure how many moments like this we’re getting in upcoming episodes so I really savored it. The question remains what is Crosshair going to do when things get to the point that he’s no longer willing to comply with the orders given to him? Clone Wars meets RebelsĪs someone who grew up watching the Clone Wars animated show, it fills me with joy when I see Clone Troopers fight the goofy battle droids in recent Star Wars media.ĭesix used to be a member of the CIS aka separatists, that’s why it makes perfect sense that they still have a small army of droids ready to defend them.Įxperiencing Commander Cody and Crosshair displaying their skills and experience against the B1 Battle Droids and the deadly BX Commando Droids was very nostalgic and entertaining. Wilco wasn’t the first victim and he’s not going to be the last one if the rest of the clones find out what happened then things are going to get even more chaotic. In fact, I think the only thing that’s already happening is that the distrust between clones and non-clones is increasing with every episode. When everyone’s lives are at risk trust is key and I don’t see it happening with Imperial Officers and Moffs. They were exceptional soldiers led by exceptional leaders and warriors. One of the reasons why the Grand Army of the Republic was so efficient is because of the understanding and true sense of camaraderie between the clones and their Jedi generals. Not only that but corruption and ineptitude in the higher ranks is becoming more and more evident. He knows that the future of the clones is uncertain. With each day passing, more clones decide that this isn’t something they want to be a part of.Ĭrosshair might be many things but dumb is not one of them. Spending so much time on his own has definitely made him think about his future not only as a soldier but as a person. Now that they’re gone he spends his time completely alone and the only social interaction he gets is when one of his superiors issues new orders. We know how this ends but until the destruction of the Death Star the people of Desix will suffer the same fate as millions of people CT-9904Ĭrosshair has always been a lonely individual, even among his brothers of Clone Force 99. Without any sort of respect for the people, their costumes, ideas, or identities. Just like Ferrix, the Empire simply shows up and expects to be in full control. Tawni Ames, the rightful Governor of Desix tries to make them leave peacefully but things don’t go as planned. Sadly for them, the newly appointed Imperial Governors lack the authority and interest to find a peaceful solution. Since the Empire used to be the Galactic Republic it’s not too crazy that they think there can be dialogue. Understandably, some systems don’t accept the claims of the Empire and try to reason with them. It doesn’t matter if they were part of the Republic or not, the Empire is taking over. The Empire is just a few months old, which means that seizing control of different systems is one of the top priorities of the new rulers of the galaxy. The first two episodes felt like a weak opening to this show but after this third one, my expectations and excitement have increased considerably. The replacement of the Clone Troopers and the destruction of their homeworld, systems being invaded by those that used to protect them, civilians being treated as criminals, the purge of the Jedi, and all the chaos that was unleashed after Order 66. We’ve seen glimpses of that in Andor, Obi-Wan, The Clone Wars, Rebels, and Jedi: Fallen Order but I believe this has been the most intimate it’s ever gotten. The creation of the Empire is as old as Star Wars itself but watching how the transition really happened is something relatively new. Sometimes they’re not easy to watch but it’s necessary if we want the stories to be more believable or relatable. Honestly, I’m glad that scenes these types of scenes appear in an animated show. I should have imagined that after how Wilco ended in the last episode things would get darker. Maybe comparing The Bad Batch with those two shows isn’t completely fair but after Tales of the Jedi, it’s clear that Filoni still wants to tell darker stories in animated media and I thought that Season 2 of the Bad Batch would immediately get into that mood. It’s not that they were bad but if we compare them to Andor or Obi-Wan it’s a pretty big difference. After the first two episodes, I seriously thought that we’d be returning to the light tone and not-so-meaningful feel of the early seasons of the Clone Wars.
