The Bad Batch S - Tumblr Posts
The new episodes of Bad Batch have me really wishing more than ever that Disney had adapted the legends stories where Palpatine comes back as a clone. The series is making it seem like an actually cool and interesting plot line to be followed but from the beginning of the sequel trilogy it’s clear that is not what their plan was.
If seeds had been laid early on that Palpatine might return through the wack ass conscious transfer into a clone Sith bullshit he pulled in legends and then they really did it well, all of this would be good and dandy but I don’t see it happening.
There been a lot of buzz about “maybe this new Bad Batch season will fix the sequels like the clone wars fixed the prequels.” But the difference is that George Lucas had a barebones plan for what was supposed to happen in those movies start to finish, the Clone Wars fleshed out characters and made us care significantly more but the prequels didn’t rely on the clone wars to fix bad writing. It seems like people are so desperate to have hope in Disney Star Wars that they’ll say this new season will fix things while forgetting how terrible The Rise of Skywalker really was.
No show can fix the sequels.
Disney dropped the ball hard and Dave Filoni and Jon Faverau have to try and clean up their mess and it’s not really working. I love the Bad Batch and I’m loving the new season but Disney putting their nose down and doubling down on the sequels is not the play.

Me at uni tomorrow getting through class calmly and remaining sane while my current favorite show just dropped its finale and I cannot watch it for several hours at least:
This scene.
That is all.
