Just finished watching the first 3 eps. Good stuff.
I liked Hunter and Wrecker bringing in the Pyke - that was a cool scene. And the 3 kid clones were a nice touch too. I guess they are going to the island where the insufferable Phee Genoa lives. I know she shows up at some point. Also - was that a genetically modifies sarlacc (the slither vines)? That's the vibe I got. I guess now we know why Vader shows up - to hunt Omega. After all, Hemlock has the full resources of the empire at his fingertips. And if we're at 17 years BBY, that means Vader is still early on the path of being Vader. I wonder if his portrayal will be different than the more traditional version. I hope we get more rage Vader. |

From what I’ve seen on YouTube, the one older clone teen who is voiced by was played by the kid who played Boba Fett in Attack of the the Clones. Which if true is pretty cool. |

“Budster, there’s a half-naked woman in your bedroom feeding pizza to some fish and she’s all yours.”

Season 3 of Bad Batch has a much darker tone to it. Love that Omega isn’t her usual whiney self. You can tell they put extra $$ into the art direction of this season. Reminds me of how good season 7 of the Clone Wars looked. Story so far has been fantastic too. What a shame that this is the final season. Filoni is a god when it comes to animated SW.

Great opening salvo of episodes for the (final-sad) season

Crosshair, "that went well"
Omega,"stow it" I don't know why but that really made me laugh. |

https://boundingintocomics.com/2024/02/27/the-acolyte-lead-amandla-stenberg-says-disney-plus-series-will-honor-the-ethos-of-star-wars-and-ideas-around-the-force-and-also-challenge-them/
According to series lead Amandla Stenberg, the plot of Disney Plus next Star Wars series The Acolyte will not only attempt to “honor the ethos” of the franchise and its concept of the Force, but also simultaneously “challenge them”. (Does that sound suspiciously like ‘subverting expectations’ to anyone else?) Stenberg – who identifies as non-binary, uses she/they pronouns, and is perhaps best known for having portrayed Rue in the first The Hunger Games film and Spyder-Byte in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – provided this tease of Star Wars’ next television outing during a February interview given to C Magazine‘s Ira Madison III. Despite her noting that a non-disclosure agreement between her and the House of Mouse had left her unable to offer too many public details regarding the series’ production, Stenberg was still able to provide her host with a very brief and vague overview of its overall creative direction. Beginning with The Acolyte‘s setting within the franchise’s ‘High Republic’ era – a time period, as conceived wholly by Disney, set roughly 500 years before the events of A New Hope and centering on the exploits of the then-flourishing Jedi Order – the actress explained, “In the context of the Star Wars universe, it’s a time of great peace, theoretically.” “It’s also a time of an institution, and it’s a time in which conceptions around the Force are very strict,” added Stenberg. “And I think what we’re trying to explore within our show is when an institution has a singular conception of how power can be used…we try to provide a lot of different perspectives and answers to that question. The idea is to kind of honor the ethos of Star Wars and ideas around the Force and also challenge them, hopefully harmoniously.” Notably, Stenberg’s interview is not the first time mention has been made of The Acolyte‘s intent to explore such a ‘grey’ interpretation of the franchise’s central force (pun 100% intended). In March 2023, series creator Leslye Headland told Empire Magazine, “When you’re doing something completely original, like we are, you want to question the status quo of the era that you live in. What I think is so interesting right now is that everybody thinks they’re right!” “The Jedi really think they’re right – and George [Lucas] tells us that they’re wrong in Phantom. They missed a huge aspect of the dark side rising. That just felt like fertile ground to look into what’s going on for all of us right now.” Further, in a teaser trailer for the series unveiled at the April 2023 Star Wars Celebration event, an unidentified female character can be heard narrating, “This isn’t about good or bad. This is about power and who is allowed to use it.” According to its official log line, the Disney Plus series “will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era with the story of former Padawan who reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes but discovers the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.” View Quote I is what it is ... *shrug* |

Good follow up episode to the 3 parter. Went back to the original formula of a beginning, a problem, then escaping. Really hard enjoyed Omega and Crosshairs banter. Complete opposites, yet I could watch a show with just those two. Omega’s reunion with Hunter and Wrecker was great. Especially when Crosshair walked out of the ship.

“Budster, there’s a half-naked woman in your bedroom feeding pizza to some fish and she’s all yours.”

Solid episode. The interaction and quips between Omega and Crosshair were great. The corrupt Imperial, the gambling den, really had a nice western vibe to it. Very Star Wars.
I really liked the TK-Troopers with the ponchos. Need a Black Series figure of that. |

That's some AI generated dialogue in those fan trailers. It's close, but still off. At the rate it's going, it's going to be near perfect in a couple of years.

I suspect that this far out BBY, Palps will see a minor success, but not get a clone with a high enough M count. We see in Mandalorian that they are still searching for force users.
You figure, there's got to be something waiting on Exegol for his soul to inhabit at the conclusion of Jedi. But it's likely not strong enough to match his current form. Dark Empire did this so much better. |

Seriously though, never thought Bad Batch would end up being this good. In fact, it’s so good that I started watching Clone Wars again(in chronological order this time).

OBI-WAN KENOBI IS OFFICIALLY DEAD, AND THAT'S FOR THE BEST
While the packaging for Moon Knight and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier — two series that haven’t been renewed for a second season — are listed as “The Complete First Season,” Obi-Wan Kenobi is called “The Complete Series.” This doesn’t mean those MCU series will be renewed, especially considering the upcoming movie Captain America: Brave New World will essentially serve as a Falcon and the Winter Soldier sequel. But the door is at least being left open. That isn’t the case for Obi-Wan Kenobi; if there was even a remote possibility of a second season, the physical release wouldn’t claim to be complete. Considering how Lucasfilm and Marvel are unusually cryptic about which shows are renewed, which are in limbo, and which are outright canceled, this is probably the closest we’ll ever get to an official cancellation. |

View Quote I believe the addition of the Inquisitors and especially Reva killed that show and having Leia being the main plot point didn’t exactly help. It is of my opinion that Reva was by far the worst aspect of that show. While the other Inquisitors were unnecessary they were at least canon and seen in Rebels. Reva was was absolutely pointless. Leia’s inclusion could have been left out entirely and if they were dead set on using the Inquisitors they could have wrote the story about Obi-Wan being searched for. It would however been cool to have another season where he interacts with Qui-Gon a little more but I don’t think that was enough to carry another season. |

She legitimately should have been killed off by Vader in the 2nd episode. But nope, she continued to live and when I thought she was actually dead the bitch comes back. She was fucking worthless. |

Yes, that's obviously where they're going with it, and why Palpatine is so personally invested in it that he'd offer Hemlock anything he needs and even travel personally to see the progress. Moreover, Nala Se knows it will succeed with Omega, which is why she was discarding her sample each day. She knew what they'd do to her after it was discovered she was the key. What makes her special though? Was Nala Se working on force sensitive clones back on Kamino? Did they borrow some midichlorians from Shaak Ti? Wild theory time: Click To View Spoiler Maybe Omega has some Ventress dna mixed in somehow and that’s why her blood is receptive to a midichlorian transfer! Based on the trailer, we know Ventress shows up this season, and with blonde hair no less. We also know that in season 3 of Clone Wars, Ventress leads a separatist attack on Tipoca city. The point of the attack was to access the vault and steal original Jango dna. Maybe something else happened in the attack where Ventress left her own dna behind. Probably not hair . Blood? Spit? She did make out with a clone that day… I also was pretty sleep deprived when I had this idea. But I still think it’s a good one. |

Enjoyed this latest episode. Crosshair has coke full circle in his character arc. I suspect either himself or Hunter will sacrifice themselves for the group somehow.
