I Would Just Like To Talk About This Scene In TBB Trailer:

I would just like to talk about this scene in TBB trailer:

Omega recognizes the Bad Batch, but they also know that their official name is Clone Force 99 and their individual names, and they say them with admiration. This goes beyond TBB being a ‘legend’ or ‘disgrace’, as clones and/or Kaminoans would see them. They obviously look up to them as role models and heroes.

But it’s TBB’s reaction to Omega recognizing them that really gets me

Hunter is surprised but he seems proud. He’s shocked that Omega knows about them but he’s proud that his squad has become so notorious, and in a positive light at that.

Wrecker is prideful and generally happy. He loves what he does and he’s probably happy that someone other than his squad members appreciates what he does.

Tech is pretty neutral about it. He’s probably not surprised because TBB has a 100% success rate, but he doesn’t seem the boastful or competitive type. He also doesn’t strike me as a ‘kid person’.

Crosshair is suspicious but, as usual, he’s trying to seem as impressive (and intimidating) as possible in front of a new person. He also doesn’t strike me as a ‘kid person’.

But Echo... Echo’s reaction hits me the hardest. He looks at Omega as if he’s anticipating an insult, but it never comes. He was probably expecting for them to skip over him and only acknowledge the other four members. But not only did Omega mention him, but they mentioned him second. I wish we could have seen TBB’s faces when they heard each of their names because I can just imagine Echo’s face lighting up with gratitude and surprise. Later in the trailer, we see Echo holding Omega’s hand and I think this scene is the start to their great platonic relationship.

GUYS- SABINE HAS EZRA’S LIGHTSABER! HE GAVE IT TO CHOPPER BEFORE HE LEFT THE DOME TO MEET WITH THRAWN. HE’S DEFENSELESS-

She wields it so naturally though🥲

Boba Fett in The Bad Batch?

I have to wonder what the galaxy’s larger perception of Boba Fett is; Considering how the Jedi were all but forgotten and Din Djarin has no idea himself, despite having lived through the Clone Wars… Is it common knowledge among the criminal underworld that Boba is a Jango clone? And amongst those who DO know, I can only imagine the rumors that sprung up, especially when you have an entire army of clones fighting for the Republic as well.

Do people think Boba is just another Clone trooper like the rest, only he decided that he REALLY wanted to be like his progenitor Jango? How many times has someone made the mistake of believing they can take on Boba because they’ve killed other clones before, bragging about it- Only to incite Boba’s wrath and a resound defeat? Does it frustrate Boba to be lumped in with the other clones, to not be known as his own person or at least Jango’s successor, but just another Clone bounty hunter- Because there could’ve been quite a few once they were decommissioned! And/or did Boba eventually come to terms with his connection with them? That of course opens an opportunity;

The Bad Batch really SHOULD bring in Boba Fett, possibly adapting his canceled arc where he comes of age by killing Cad Bane, and reclaiming his father’s title as the greatest Bounty Hunter. The show’s premise is already about clones who don’t quite fit in with the rest, so add to this theme by including Boba, the original and ideal clone, who ages normally and was raised as a true heir and child to Jango unlike the rest, who clearly has a bit of a complex and swears he has no REAL connection to the other clones… But c’mon.

Hera Syndulla and Han Solo are the same person and you cannot change my mind

They both:

Are headstrong

Have the initials H.S.

Are great pilots

Have iconic ships

Were captains and then generals for the Rebellion

Fell in love with a Jedi and had a son (named Jacen) with them

Hoping for this chaotic energy between them in Rangers of the New Republic. They already got Alden Ehrenreich to be Han once, might as well let him play Han again

GUYS- I think I cracked the code! I think I know how Bo-Katan is gonna appear in The Bad Batch and how it ties into the Mandalorian Purge😳

I’ll put it below because it’s kinda long😅

So, I was picking apart The Bad Batch trailers (as crazy people like me do) and I was trying to figure out what planet this was:

I was thinking it might be Alderaan, but there’s not really a big motive for the Empire (or the Republic) to occupy Alderaan. For all they knew, Bail Organa was compliant like every other senator. If they were suspicious, they would have done something much sooner than 0BBY.

So, what other planets have snow, tall trees, mountains, and frozen-over lakes? KROWNEST!

We saw in Star Wars Rebels that Clan Wren lived on Krownest and they were led by Ursa Wren, who made a brief appearance alongside Bo-Katan in The Clone Wars season 7.

If this part of The Bad Batch takes place after the Empire was formed, then it would make sense for TBB alongside the Imperials to try to occupy Mandalore and other Mandalorian planets. If you think about it, Mandalore is perfect to try to occupy because they were under new leadership (Bo-Katan, who was inexperienced with leading an entire planet or a system of planets), they were previously neutral in the Clone Wars, and Mandalorians are notoriously dangerous people to be against and they would be valuable allies. Then I remembered that there was a leak of the description for a Hasbro Bo-Katan black series action figure. The description says that “she refused to align with the Empire’s occupation of Mandalore” and that the action figure was a replica of her from The Bad Batch show...

So if she refused to join the Empire, maybe that’s the cause of the Mandalorian Purge. Bo even said she fought in the Purge. It’s been mentioned several times in The Mandalorian, but we’ve never gotten a time frame or many details. We do know that the Purge was at the Empire’s hands, though.

But what does that have to do with The Bad Batch? Okay, I think TBB was sent to help the Imperials occupy Krownest, but Bo-Katan resisted, resulting in the Mandalorian Purge. As we know, Jango Fet, the clone template, was a Mandalorian foundling. It’s widely accepted that the clones speak Mando’a, so is it bold to assume they have loyalties to Mandalore? Maybe TBB decided to aid the Mandalorians on Krownest and fight on their side. However, we know that the Mandalorians lost to the Empire, and maybe this is how TBB dies👀

The Mandalorians lose, Krownest is occupied by the Empire, Ursa Wren makes a deal with them, and Tristan Wren goes on to be a Mandalorian who serves the Empire (as Fenn Rau calls them). Perhaps Bo-Katan leaves before the Empire can catch her, running away with Clan Kryze and surviving. This might also explain how Bo-Katan referred to Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian. When explaining the plan, Bo says “Koska, Fennec, Dune, myself, disembark...” She uses Koska and Fennec’s first names but she calls Cara by her last name. We know that she is close with Koska, which explains why she calls her by her first name, but she must be familiar with Fennec as well. Fennec is gonna be in The Bad Batch so maybe they’ll interact with one another.

May the Force be with you!
