In The Clone Wars, We Had Commander Wolffe And The Wolfpack. In Rebels, We Had Loth Wolves. In The Mandalorian,

In The Clone Wars, we had Commander Wolffe and the Wolfpack. In Rebels, we had loth wolves. In The Mandalorian, Dave’s cameo character had the last name Wolf.

I am patiently waiting to see how Dave Filoni managed to incorporate wolves into The Bad Batch. I know he did, but how...

hera syndulla survived a bad crash landing, multiple shootouts, capture and prolonged torture, an exploding fuel depot, the loss of her lover, and the entire battle for Lothal while pregnant. i need to sit down and think about this

So, Crosshair’s CT number is CT-9904. I guess it means that the other members of the Bad Batch’s CT numbers start with 99. If they were born with those specific CT numbers, they didn’t name themselves after 99, the defective maintenance clone. The Kaminoans would never have made their CT numbers based on one defective clone so they’re clone force 99 by chance, not to honor 99 and his sacrifice... :(

WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING—

What if 99 was their fifth batch mate?😭

He could have been CT-9900, which is 99 for short. He probably never interacted with other clones that would have given him a nickname, so it was probably just his condensed CT number.

If the Kaminoans were messing around with Jango’s genes to create mutated clones with enhanced abilities, then not all of them were gonna be successful, right? Maybe 99’s extremely fast aging was a result of the mutation, and then he was deemed useless by the Kaminoans and put on maintenance duty.

Clones were always made in batches of 5. The rest of his batch were capable soldiers so they trained and graduated without him...leaving him alone...

NOW IM SAD

Oh... o h . . .

I just realized...♻️

I agree that to get more Star Wars content we need to stream TBB and any other Star Wars media, but I don’t think we’re going to get an animated Rebels sequel...

I’m not 100% sure, but I think the scripts and such from the animated sequel were kept and adapted to the Ahsoka show. I think their intention is to make the Ahsoka series about Ahsoka and Sabine finding Ezra and Thrawn, which could have Rebels characters appear.

Like you said, the Mandalorian did so well and Resistance tanked, so they probably decided then to make the Ahsoka series live action starring Rosario Dawson.

I’d love an animated Rebels sequel, but I don’t think we’re gonna get it :(

i completely understand that people are upset about the whitewashing, like me too, i think it was an incredibly asshole move but...

i just want to put it out there that whether bad batch gets a lot of support could affect whether we get an actual animated rebels sequel.

things have changed in the way that people consume media since rebels last ended. and that was only a few years ago.

streaming has pretty much taken over for cable.

disney plus released a few months before resistance concluded and well... it still didnt do well, it wasnt meant for streaming and yet its still probably unlikely that we'll get any more sequel era cartoons any time soon due to it.

and then they released the mandalorian, and it did GREAT, so they're working on more live action shows.

after that, they released clone wars season 7 and it did so well that at one point tcw was the most streamed show.

because clone wars did well they had incentive to make more cartoons and released a sequel to it, the bad batch.

so what do you think will happen if despite them making an attempt, if a bit half assed, to fix their stupidity doesn't save the show and it tanks?

they probably wont be very inclined to create any more sequels for previous star wars cartoons, and they won't make a rebels sequel.

im not saying don't be mad. be mad. keep telling disney to do better. but if you care at all about getting something better- something we actually wanted, youre gonna have to watch the show anyway.

subscriptions and the money from viewership is all that disney cares about. they don't care about the storytelling or the art. and they own star wars. so if you want the storytelling and the art to continue, youre gonna need to cough up some cash, some time, or both.

does that suck? yes. but i doubt that its going to change any time soon. they aren't going to sell their cash cow any time soon and they aren't going to spontaneously start caring more about creativity than money.

if you want a rebels sequel you have to keep watching the bad batch.
