When People Say The Jedi Code Led To The Order's Downfall

When people say the Jedi Code led to the Order's downfall

Like yeah, just because you don't understand their ways means they deserved to be murdered. And they always try to sugarcoat it too, like they all just got fired from the Republic or something, instead of what actually happened, they were murdered and hunted like animals, children were slaughtered, their culture was erased and rendered illegal. How was this their fault again? Because they aren't omnipotent beings who can solve problems in a blink of an eye? I can't believe this fandom anymore tbh

A New Hope: But Vader is open about his Trauma

“you’re just mad your grumpy fave wasn’t there to glare at everyone”

No, I’m mad that this show doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. What is The Bad Batch doing? What is their end goal? What is this season slowly working towards? I can appreciate a slow burn when I can get some idea of what it’s building up to, but literally what is the end destination for The Bad Batch? Like yeah, the Clone Wars had filler episodes but it also had self contained multi-episode arcs and we knew it was going to all lead up to the end of the war, Order 66, and the rise of the Empire. But what is the Bad Batch doing? It doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and we don’t even know if it’s gonna get more than one season.

We all thought they’d make the end goal getting Crosshair back, especially after they seemed to be pushing it so heavily in the first 3 episodes, but now the Batch don’t seem to care about him at all. Out of 13 episodes, Crosshair has been in like 5 and one of those was only for literally a minute. You separated him from the Batch for… what? The angst? They don’t seem that broken up about it. Because Crosshair is gonna do something important with the Emprie? He’s barely been on screen. And we know the squad is not going to fight the Empire or help the rebellion because Hunter has said they’re not interested in that to both Rex and the Syndullas when offered. So what exactly are they doing? Protecting a Omega from the Kaminoans? Cool. We haven’t heard anything about the Kaminoans in multiple episodes. Figuring out what Omega’s purpose is? Nothing. Just trying to survive Imperial rule? Great. So is the rest of the galaxy. Why are you showing us their story specifically?

I can appreciate a slow burn as much as anyone, and I don’t mind filler episodes (I think more shows these days should have them), but you still have to be careful of moving too slow or else interest in your project is going to fizzle and die out before you actually get to the bits you’ve been building up to. And it’s even worse with The Bad Batch because we as an audience don’t know what the heck you’re trying to build up to. Every time we think we’ve figure it out, a new episode comes and changes the direction. This show has no direction.

So yeah, obviously I’m sad when my favorite character isn’t in an episode, but mainly I’m getting tired of the way every episode only gives us half an inch of plot, character development for Hunter and Omega while Wrecker, Tech, and Echo are just kinda… there, and Crosshair offscreen somewhere being vaguely “eeeeeviiiiilll” when we have absolutely no idea if the story is supposed to continue after one season or not. Every time they’ve set up what could be considered a “main plotline” they then completely ignore it for 4-5 episodes. At this point I really hope they do get another season because I don’t see all those loose ends tying up in a satisfying way in 3 episodes.
