The laser cannon that is used to try and suppress the Zilo Beast in its holding pen is the same kind used on the tanks to bring it down back in its first appearance. Why they thought one would work when several when several were needed to even weaken the creature is beyond me.

For Episode 15 you forgot to mention that the episode title is a reference to the very first line any of the Bad Batch members said back in the first episode of the Bad Batch arc in Season 7 of the Clone Wars: "The Cavalry Has Arrived!!" which was said by Wrecker.

Episode 10 is also the only time Scorch is named in the show.

Did anybody else think of SPECIFICALLY the VHS box art for Godzilla '98 when they saw the shot of just the Zillo beast's eye?

[CHEESEPUFF_]

This was absolutely my favourite star wars show

[AquaForgeEric]

Pretty sure the ISD at the end is the Executrix, the first Imperial class Star Destroyer in legends and Tarkin’s flagship in both canon and legends. I know in Tarkin it states the ship was active by 18 BBY so I’m thinking it’s probably that

[marcesteban]

More than a decade now, we see the Zillo Beast in a show again

[dragonblaster-vuwz]

The markings on the TK troopers acting as Tarkin's guards seen in the finale also look reminiscent of the clone shock troopers. And I think that shot is similar to Tarkin exiting his shuttle in the premiere when he greets Rampart as well

[saadyahschick]

The way one of the clones was killed in the last episode is almost exactly the same as how one of the bounty hunters was killed in "The Box" from TCW Season 4

[moncalakestis]

The Jedi Academy mention! Those books were my childhood 😭

[TheLiamster]

If I had to guess, I’d say Tarkin’s star destroyer is the Executrix which was seen in Rogue One

[poppymaster]

Now all we need is a full series breakdown

[henrywood]

I very much felt that the CX Squad was a proto-SCAR Squadron

[killatubby]

The final stand off with Hemlock I think is also call back to EP 2 Attack of Clone when Obi fought Jango.

The Imperial March can be heard during that last Tarkin scene when he mentions Project Stardust.

[Blinkptx]

When they first appeared in CW I just wrote them off as the Ninja Turtles of Star Wars. The episodes were good, but I thought they were a bit silly. When they announced the show, I felt a little bummed cause there were so many other characters I'd rather see a series of. Never would have thought Bad Batch would become one of my favorite Star Wars stories. I even remember thinking Omega was annoying. So surprised how this all turned out.

[SKRicochet]

I always forget that Kylo Ren single-handedly killed a Zillo beast in the comics

[TheJodoCast]

Hell Yeah, @0:44 it's Tress Hacuna from the Tyrants of Lothal expansion for Imperial Assault. What a great game.

[gaflene]

Erebus was also one of the names of the ships from the Franklin Expedition, though her sister ship the Terror is more well known.

[Huntr]

The tank chase scene paid homage to Indiana Jones films Raiders and the Last Crusade from the car chase and Tank fight scenes, respectively. From the Bad Batch attempting to shrug off the TK troopers, even hitting one into the cliff side
