March 2, 20232 yr Trying to get my 7yo son into some star wars and don't think he's quite ready for the movies yet. What's the kid age range for this show?
March 4, 20232 yr Seems like they are following the Clone Wars model and just throwing a bunch of filler episodes in before showing us the good stuff. Hopefully some of it pays off like he space whales.

Rebels is more youth oriented than Clone Wars in my opinion. It also zips along. Clone Wars drags. Both great, but Rebels will hold a 7 year old’s attention. I’d probably watch Bad Bath after Rebels and Clone Wars.

March 10, 20232 yr Very good. I like these stories that deal with the transition between Republic and Galactic Empire. Another great Kiner score as well. Really set the mood.
March 10, 20232 yr I think I just watched the best episode of the series. Phenomenal animation and score. Crosshair rescue episode should go hard.
March 10, 20232 yr The last two episodes have been very good, and I enjoyed the double episode arc before them as well. Hopefully it keeps on in this direction.

The two-parter was good, and this week's was good, but I was meh on last week. Though that might be the stress of last week talking.
March 11, 20232 yr I suppose Filoni is trying to show the difficulties of the clones in the Empire. The Bad Batch seemed to have a shitty deal with Sid, and their loyalty to her was really not repaid, she continued to be callous even in the face of loyalty. Now they are really on their own. Crosshairs episodes were a bit more on the nose but so damn well done that it works. The logic behind abusing experienced troops in favor of new stormtrooper recruits seems a bit absurd, but I guess maybe from a Sith Lord's perspective, having good troops around en masse is a liability.
March 13, 20232 yr How many episodes are left? I assumed the Crosshair murder episode was a season ending cliffhanger.
March 15, 20232 yr I'm pretty sure I've seen episodes of Paw Patrol that were better written than that.
March 16, 20232 yr 20 hours ago, NotActuallyALonghorn said: I'm pretty sure I've seen episodes of Paw Patrol that were better written than that. The whole episode felt like a rehash of previous plotlines. Mando enters the village with Grogu, kid find kids to play with. Mando relaxes. Something happens. They recover and think about staying on. I did like how Wrecker interacted with the fellow big guy. Sid's threat is hollow as fuck. She was taken captive so easily last time.
March 22, 20232 yr Good episode. Last week makes more sense, even if the writing and the episode itself were trash.
March 23, 20232 yr Pretty damned dark for Star Wars animated. I of course liked that and the episode.
March 23, 20232 yr really like the episodes with Crosshair, dislike any parts with Omega. She is bothersome to me and just not my thing
March 24, 20232 yr I enjoy the transition to Empire episodes. Anything that speaks to the larger story is a fun episode. Next week is a two part season finale, I believe.

She appeared to be force sensitive in previous seasons, and of course they don't spend 5 seconds on it in this season. Omega better start doing some cool shit real soon.

March 30, 20232 yr Yeah, I was a bit worried it was just going to be another two forgettable episodes after the first one, but then it got real.
March 30, 20232 yr Filoni is going HAM with Bad Batch, it's just unfortunate that they have to build towards snoke and the first order lol. Same sorta story arc as in Mando as well with intrigue around cloning and the empire Also, fuckin SWISH! I do like the headfake in that Omega herself isn't special - they've got more clones, "sisters", of her just lying around torturing other clones. Omega is just leverage against Nala-Se in the emperor's ongoing cloning interests
March 30, 20232 yr Another master class from Filoni. Spoiler Tech should probably stay dead. Very unlikely he could survive a Cliffhanger like fall, and his death had real emotional depth. He gave his life for the squad. The rescue mission is the most obvious Star Wars troupe, and even Filoni uses it too much. But yes, Season 3 should be cool.

Omega is just leverage against Nala-Se in the emperor's ongoing cloning interests I don't think that they have to build to Snoke and the First Order, those events take place nearly 40 years from the current Bad Batch storyline. Approximately twenty years until Luke and the Battle of Yavin, and another twenty or so years after Yavin until Snoke and the First Order come along. For now, they can just focus on the cloning technology and the Empire's rise. They might get into cloning the Emperor. Seems like that was the subject of one of the 90s comic book storylines from Dark Horse Comics. Spoiler Interesting to see Commander Krennic give a status about Project Stardust. I'd like to see the Bad Batch tied into that. Also agree on Tech. It would be better if he stays deceased, but with the Imperial Scientist having found his goggles, he may have tried some cloning tech to bring him back. Then again, Crosshair might take his spot on the squad. Edited March 30, 20232 yr by DeepEastTexas

It's gloriously schlocky and pulpy lol https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Dark_Empire Had the ridiculous and awesome Eclipse-class Star Destroyer, though, which is neat. It's alot of the basis of the sequel trilogy I think, at least as far as the "Palpatine reborn" and a secret sith planet full of superweapons that get unleashed on the galaxy until a small ragtag team of heros gathers a fleet to do a David vs Goliath Edited March 30, 20232 yr by Captainant
March 30, 20232 yr At least now Omega has a big sister and her stepmom to talk to when she gets her period instead of having Tech and Wrecker awkwardly explain her changing body, which was how this season was trending. Good point about major plot line to both Mando and Bad Batch is related to cloning, and Filoni having to divert his creativity to plug holes for the shit sequels.
April 2, 20232 yr Finally got good the second half of the second season. Which is to be expected with DF, he seems to take a bit to get it going I’ll watch season 3
April 3, 20232 yr Banged the last 5 eps. I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this, but the crew (minus echo) are basically the ninja turtles.

December 15, 20232 yr Finally re-upped my Disney subscription and got to watching this.... glad to see everyone else is saying HOLY SHIT about Omega. I get it, its supposed to be a kid-friendly show and have characters kids can relate to, but she is everything that is wrong with every fucking script-writer in hollywood right now when they need to write in a story about kids. its always, "lets write something where the kids do something so absolutely so headshakingly moronic that forces the parents/guardians to make a decision or a move that is so counter-intuative to their secret/safety/personalty to move the story along". The clueless uber-smart-but-equally-idiotic child schtick gets boring really fucking quickly. every. single. fucking. time. There are multiple instances of this over the last 15 years on TV shows. It took a few episodes to realize exactly where I had seen this same fucking storyline.... then it clicked. Omega is literally Carl (Coral) from Season 2 of the Walking Dead... the "Carl dont leave the house or the farm" season! Carl dont walk in the woods alone, Carl, dont go in the basement, Carl dont go in the barn...... 10 fucking episodes of Carl being a fucking idiot. Followed by season 3 where there were another 5 or so episodes of him being a moron. This was also the same problem with the last 3.5 seasons of The Americans, where Paige kept fucking up and getting them critically close to being discovered, especially the last 1.5 seasons where she is trying to become another super-spy. Debbie in Shameless where they get her pregnant at 15 like 5 seasons in, only to become an absolute cunt to her kid. and this Bad Batch season finale cliffhanger was literally telegraphed so early on, it was not even a remote shock.... and of course it also was another direct result of the fucking kid knowing better than all the adults about what to do, refusing to follow basic orders, and knowing she knew best.... until she didnt.
December 15, 20232 yr Omega’s saving grace is that she’s voiced by a hot Asian chick from New Zealand.
