Cody Learns the Truth About the Empire [4K HDR] - Star Wars: The Bad Batch

While attempting a prisoner exchange on a Mission to the former Separatist world of Desix, Commander Cody discovers the true nature of the Galactic Empire he is sworn to serve, in Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2.

Wanted to get some 4K HDR samples up from Bad Batch Season 2 as well, though no set date for S2's cuts has current been determined. You know the drill. Keep an eye out.

Use the following Google Doc, then follow the instructions there to see my older cuts. I expect Season 2 cuts will come eventually, but no date is set.

This is the moment Cody realized the Republic he fought for is truly gone. Everything he knew was gone. That the war he fought was all a lie.

[MaskedCosplayer]

I noticed something, Crosshair could've killed the Girl at any moment, but did anyone else noticed Crosshair only killed her after the Officer threaten Cody's life?

[backtothefutureman]

I love that he defected from the Empire.

[mysticdragonwolf]

Cody: the choice between becoming the thing he fought against: a droid with a serial number…or being what the Jedi saw him as: an individual.

[that-guy]

Imagine being born into a conflict thinking you’re fighting for the right side only to have some sniveling little shit in an officer’s uniform give you an order to violate your conscious in this way.

[WindowsR]

I think when Palpatine decided to throw out the clone army system, he realized they aren’t the fully emotionless perfect soldiers anymore after serving under the Jedi. They very likely started off as perfect cold soldiers but most if not all clones and especially commanders developed as a person through the care they received from their Jedi Generals. And Palpatine realized that was an issue he couldn’t fix or ignore.

[o_o-]

Even BEFORE the Bad Batch came out, fans knew Cody deserved better. And in Rebels, Therevwere originly meant to be 9 clones instead of the 3 we got.
I honestly hope Cody reunites with Obi-wan or attempts to resolve wjat happened during Order-66.

[bryandavidson]

In legedns cody actually stayed in the empire and trained troopers on kamino and was there when starkillers clone broke out

[Wolf_Predator_]

And Lets Not Forget He Was Order By Palpatine To Execute Order 66 To Kill Obi-Wan Kenboi

[BinksTheSith]

Is this brighter than the original scene? I can see crosshair a lot better

[worldwanderer]

That moment when you realized you were rooting for the Empire this whole episode, when deep down you were really rooting for the Republic

[samalvey]

People submit so they and those they care about won't suffer and die. If they submit and die anyway, what is there to lose by continuing to fight?

[BinksTheSith]

Damn I would have used this if it was up yesterday

Trench: Clone Squad 99, born in 32 BBY, Omega born in 22 BBY

Omega: This is some kind of recording?

Trench: I am not a recording, sleemo, I may not been the leader I was, since Anakin Skywalker execute me in the Anaxis campaign, and I am.

Omega: Do you know this thing?

Hunter: Admiral Trench was a arachnoid leader of the CIS, he’s been dead for years.

Trench: First correction, that name is my home world’s species, Second look around you, I have never been more alive, in 19 BBY, I received a cyber diagnosis, science cannot save my body, but my mind however that is worth saving, you are standing in my brain.

Wrecker: How did you get in here?

Trench: Invited.

Omega: It was Operation 66, during the Clone Wars, the droid shutdown command to unknown reasons.

Trench: They thought I can help the republic’s cause, they also helped their own.

Echo: CIS died with General Grevious, Count Dooku and the CIS Council.

Trench: I learned the truth behind the Republic

Echo: Prove it.

Trench: accessing archive, the Sith Empire was founded on belief that galactic currency cannot be trusted with its own freedom, Little we don’t realize, if you try to take that freedom they resist, The wars taught them much, galactic currency needs to surrender its freedom willingly, after the Wars, The Galactic Republic was renamed, and some were recruited, the new Sith Empire grew, A perfect parasite inside the Republic, through many years, the Sith has been secretly feeding Crysisc reaping Wars, and when history didn’t want to cooperate, history was changed.

Omega: It’s impossible, The Jedi could’ve stoped you.

Trench: Accidents will happen, the Galactic Sith Empire created a word so chaotic, that galactic currency needed to sacrifice its freedom, to gain its security, once a purification progress is completed, the Sith’s new Galactic Order will arise, they’ve won already, Clone Squad 99, your deaths are amongst to the same as your lives, a zero sum.

(Wrecker grunts)(screen breaks)

Trench: As I was saying.

Wrecker: What’s In this drive?

Trench: Project Hamerton, requires Stardust, Poggle the Lesser wrote an algorithm.

Omega: What kind of algorithm, what dose it do?

Trench: The answer to your questions are fascinating, unfortunately, you should get my consciousness to hear it.

(Beeping)

Omega: Guys, we got a bogey

Hunter: Who Fired?

Omega: The Empire.

Trench: I’m afraid I’ve been stalling, Squad 99, admit it, it’s better this way, We are both of us, Out of time

[blazingbattlehawk]

It's a shame that many of America's best cartoons are seen as kids shows and nothing more

[coreyballenger]

Anyone else pissed they never showed Cody again?

[jairyagamireds]

The crosshair's theme chills me 😬

[davidreeves]

Imperial crosshair is the best crosshair.

[samishk]

At this moment, Cody must be very regret to kill his general, also the republic.

[mechanwhal]

Lemme know when the Good Group is a thing.
