We need to talk about what the Bad Batch did

The Bad Batch Season 2 is now over... and I think it's time to recap the show. I'll do so while giving my thoughts and reviews. All that and more on today's Star Wars The Bad Batch video!

[Theology.]

Everyone knows that Kiwi’s are Fetts. It’s just canon.

I think Omega’s sister was made in the same batch as Omega, but she had the age augmentation unlike Omega

[SuperCompany]

I was shocked they had the balls to kill Tech

[connful]

The scene from Omegas pov was peak and really well made. I'm sad no one is acknowledging just how good that scene was the animation, the tension everything.

[thegreatestpepe]

I'm pretty sure Tech is gone. The writers made the callout to clone 99 from Clone Wars with the title of the episode, as well as with Tech's last words, and the whole story of 99 was that he sacrificed himself in the line of duty to save his squad. It would be a disservice to that character's legacy to have his name invoked for anything less than a noble sacrifice in battle.

I don't want to believe Tech is dead just because he had the most significant character arc in the season, but it still felt like they were only just getting into his story. It felt cut short too soon.

[jeremyortiz]

I think one of the biggest disappointments over the last few episodes is that there's at least half a dozen YouTube channels that throw spoiler thumbnails online in less than an hour after episodes air knowing there's a lot of people that have to wait for the weekend to watch. It's probably why viewership is dropping.

"She's out there in the trenches with the beakers and shit" Absolutely iconic line Eck

[snipeyboi]

With the female scientist, she never stated she was a clone out right. She tells Omega they are sisters, this could perhaps mean maybe she was an offspring of Jango Fett. Personal theory is that she is trying to help in some ways with the clones, like how she reasoned with Crosshair to not make things worse for himself. She could be helping in some small ways behind the scenes as to not be caught. Also for all we know as of now, Hemlock doesn't know she is a clone or offspring of Jango, and maybe Omega is the first to learn this information which could be her way of earning Omega's trust.

[Erebdai]

This season was the Crosshair season. Every episode that Crosshair was in had me at the edge of my seat. His character development was beautiful. RIP Tech.

[fungalcoffee]

I feel like people get too upset about "filler' episodes, I get that people want to get on with the main story line but I enjoy getting more time with characters and having more opportunities to flesh them out along with the universe.

[something]

I think the significance of the female clone scientist was to show that Omega and the rest of the bad batch never knew the true depth of Kaminoan clone research. The fact that this other female clone has existed for at most as long as Omega has, means that there was so much that was kept clandestine to the Republic, and Omega now realizes that the Kaminoan/Impirial cloning rabbit hole goes much much deeper. I think there is a bit of horror there too, that this clone would not be only okay with, but enthusiastic about experimenting on her brothers. The commandos seem a little more obedient than regs, so them just following orders is more believable, but this scientist clone seems to independently want to perform these duties, which is chilling.
I also want to add that Tech sacrificing his life to save the team was called "plan 99" which IMO isn't referencing Clone Force 99, but is a reference to Clone 99, the janitor who sacrificed himself to save his brothers on Kamino during the siege.

[justinamerican]

One of the strong shifts in the show was the writing for Omega. She showed herself to be more human in this last half of the season. She is afraid of things. She doesn't always have all the answers. She become one part of the group and less of the child insert character. I never hated her, but she was a bit annoying. This season I actually like her.

It also needs to be said that the animation and music for this show are 10/10.

[suspectpanda]

Is it just me or did they not heavily imply or even state that they wanted omega as leverage far back in the beginning of the season. I could have sworn that this was said or implied but maybe I'm wrong

[_GeneralMechanics_]

One thing that stood out this season for me is every time the Bad Batch fought against clones, they used their weapons set to stun but fired lethal blaster bolts when they faced off with the Proto-Stormtroopers. Then Crosshair stunned the "Sister" during his (Hemlock planned) escape attempt. Now it makes more sense in the way the clones subconsciously try not to harm one another.

[lazydroidproductions]

I’m a little bit surprised that it took you until the last episode to realize that this season they were trying to get omega four leverage over Nala Se. Last season’s whole thing was for her dna as a last ditch continuation attempt of the clone trooper program by the kaminoans, the empire would have no reason to concern themselves with her, and one of the previous episodes had Lama Su be pretty direct on Omega being the way to control Nala Se

[kibble]

I think the only death of a clone that hit me emotionally like this was Fives, but even with him, I kind of expected it because we knew he had to fail. I wasn't prepared for Tech to die, it was only when he started running back to the tram that I began to get the feeling that it would go wrong. Idk if they'll bring him back. I don't want him to be dead but I also agree that the stakes need to matter. If he's not dead, it needs to be something ugly that happens instead. As much as that would hurt. We need to know there are real consequences.

[sir_captainmorgan]

I’ve honestly really liked the bad batch from the beginning, it’s been great, and while some episodes have been kinda eh, but then you have episodes like the outpost which are masterpieces

[guibin]

Remember, if you don't see a body in-story, they can still be brought back. Tech is probably being held captive by Hemlock, like how Echo was held by the CIS, and the goggles were just used to demoralize the Batch.

[joshuahill]

I had a feeling omega had more non-altered siblings due to her name. Omega is the last letter in the Greek alphabet, and it was mentioned that boba's original name was alpha, meaning their is potentially 22 other non-altered Jango fett clones out their. 21 if we're not counting the new one

[iddleso]

How on earth can what is perceived as a kids show be more mature and better written than The Mandalorian? The final episode was excellent, despite being spoiled by the YT's before watching I have to admit I was impressed!
