Still no jax or hotshot or whiplash only a different clone kid where are they now
My personal guess (which may be completely wrong) is that the test subject is Ventress and that’s how they’re gonna get her back alive. She’ll be a force sensitive clone and this way it doesn’t mess around with the dark disciple canon.
Something was absolutely done to Omega. Nala Se (sp?) knows that which is why before scanning the blood sample she discarded it.
Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get plenty of opportunity for heartbreak later this season. 😢
Speaking of which. I am hoping beyond hope that Pabu is not a bombed out wasteland if they drop those kids off.
Leave it to the Empire to create a pseudo-Drengir on accident and orbitally bombard the facility to cover it up.
Has clone force 99 canonically been to Zeffo? Or are Jotaz just "renowned"?
-I'm glad Bad Batch is back on!
-I like they're working on the necromancer project this far back in time. It shows how far Palpatine thinks forward.
-The guys need to figure out a better way to lock their ship. They had it stolen last year and in one of these.
-I got a good chuckle out of Omega kicking that mouse droid.
9:08 I thought this was a sarlacc?
“Did they teach you plan 72?”
“Mm hmm. Tech had me memorize all the plans.”
chuckles “Of course he did.”
🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I do think nala se gave omega midichlorians since she purposely discarded her blood meaning she new the midichlorian count would match up
Has anyone tried to stop the rapid aging process?
These three episodes are sooooo good. 😊❤
Great summary and review thanks
Always nice when Star Wars portrays the Empire as a Lovecraftian abomination led by wizard Hitler. Wish they would do that more
Could the slither vines be failed Drengir clones???
The Bad Batch has become one of my favorite shows. It's really grown on me since Season 1.
I don't know why, but I was a little surprised by how… grim things were through these 3 episodes. Seeing Omega's hair grow as she spent time on Mt. Tantiss was rough. You knew it had to be wearing on her spirit, but her determination and compassion kept the fires burning so to speak.
I do wish she'd have asked Hemlock "what if you're wrong?" as a challenge to his certainty that Bather wouldn't make it in the wild. He clearly wasn't aware or appreciative of just how quickly the wild instincts will resurface in a supposedly domesticated animal.
Loved how the passage of time was hardest on Hunter. Wrecker being the one to advise patience shows growth, but just how adaptable the members of the Batch are when they have to be. He's filling the roles of Tech and Echo for Hunter.
Seeing younger clones aiding the batch is good, but overall I have a bad feeling about all of this. We can assume the Empire doesn't get Omega back, but the why and at what cost seem like it's not going to be the ending many of us want to see.
I'm pretty sure the monster in Episode 2 was a mutated sarlac.
Is it just me or anyone else noticed that Vine Creature is almost the same as Sarlacc in the desert which ate Boba Fett?
Episode 3 was a banger!
While I am very happy that they made it off Tantis safely, I am very worried where next few episodes will go. Either Hemlock will get to them before Hunter and Wrecker can, or (and more likely I think) episode 4 will be a heartfelt reunion and return to Pabu, then episode 5 will be the Empire coming to Pabu to take Omega back.
I loved it!!! The thing I like most about is the connecting plot threads from season 1 and 2.
Omega and the force? Well, I’m glad they’re not having her do force pushes and such because she was never “trained” in the force. But she’s incredibly inciteful, resourceful, and has incredible reflexes… similar to another boy about her age that had an incredibly high “M” count that lived out on some desert planet till a space wizard found him.
I believe in Legends and in Canon Dooku and Palpatine attempted to give General Grievous a blood transfusion to make him for sensitive but it never worked. Omega is potentially the first being in which this transfusion would work and has she been around they could have made General Grievous Unstoppable. She's essentially the first person in Canon that could be artificially given access to the force since her blood can readily except the M count from a transfusion
Not sure why they needed to take Omega's blood sample every day. One or two should do it.
Is it a Palpatine clone or an Anakin clone?
Omega had a shadow across her face when she talked to Crosshair through the cell door that looked like Crosshairs tattoo over his eye.
Can we also talk about how Emry may have only outed Omega so they wouldn't shoot her down? I think she had pure-ish motives at the end there
The Empire seemed to have experimented on a Sarlacc which became the slither vines.
Anyone thinking that an Asajj Ventress clone is one of the side products of the project?
no These first 3 episodes were all perfection for me and easily the best of the series. Especially the dynamic between Omega and Crosshair and the strength of Hemlock all really elevate season 3 from the rest. Flawless so far and I can not wait to see what happens next. Also, the time skip being 150 days broke me. She had been held captive for so long. (Side note: I believe the Slither Vine creature is a heavily mutated Sarlacc) I feel Rise of Skywalker was pretty clear Palps was cloned and transferred his soul into the clone bodies. Glad to see that backstory get developed! Palpatine has become this nexus where weird science and gothic fantasy meet and we need to see more! Episode 3 was insane Omegas DNA just works as a catalysator for force sensitives m-count to not degenerate while being transfered into a clone. Crosshair's talk to the trooper from his cell reminded me of the first mind trick for Rey
Im surprised you didn't mention the slither vine that jumped at the camera because it was a great horror moment and Hunter shooting it in the mouth beautifully foreshadowed how they were going to kill the big one (and it raised the question of "how big do they get?") The monsters in ep 2 really give me Half-Life vibes. Especially the vine creatures, that remind me of the Pit Drones from Opposing Force. Emerie just continues to impress as one of my new favorite clones! She's still a mystery, but I got a feeling she is a hero. Can't wait to see where Crosshair and Omega head next! I love how the First Order has a project called Resurrection that we learn from Battlefront 2 and in season 3 episode 3 of The Bad Batch we learn of Project Necromancer. Omega and Crosshair working together is what I’ve been waiting for. If anyone can get through to him, it’s her. One small thing I noticed and got a smile about was the scanner when Omega enters the lab is the same as the clone commando shield recharge from the game I could not wait to get home from work to watch the premiere this morning. I loved the pacing of that first episode, it felt slow and almost monotonous but I guess that was the point, to give us the viewers a taste of what life was like for Omega trapped inside of Mount Tantiss. And I agree with Alex that episodes 1 and 3 could have been single feature-length episodes, but it was also nice to get a “meanwhile episode” to show us what Hunter and Wrecker are doing in their own mission to rescue Omega. I also like the implications that Mount Tantiss has been around since way before the Clone Wars, establishing a secret cloning facility. I say implicated because there were no female clones on Kamino (minus Omega) when Obi-Wan went there in AOTC. This makes me think, was Palpatine having male and female clones created as a preemptive measure that a child born of a clone would possess the high Midichlorian count for him. For once I’m glad to be wrong: I thought they were going to introduce Ventress into the series at the end of episode 3, making us wait a whole week before we get to hear her story since the events of Dark Disciple. All in all, a solid start to the final season. 9:30 pm Surely the monster is a form of Sarlacc The entirety of episode 2 Is like a big fun reference to the flood in Halo I am excited for the Clone Rebellion since Omega and Crosshair’s escape indicates the final battle won’t be on Mount Tantiss. When the Clone kids were talking about the Empire destroying that last research facility, I loved the "Base Delta Zero" reference, a VERY deep lore cut…!
I was pretty ecstatic when I found out that Deke and Stak were voiced by Ricky Baker from Hunt for The Wilderpeople
Holy crap!!! What if Crosshair manages to take a last steady shot and Kills Palpatine ????!!!??? Stay with me – – Then Palpatine's body is cloned on Mt Tantiss leading to his somewhat deformed face in ESB (BEFORE the Special Edition change). That means the Emperor in the original trilogy WAS A CLONE THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
<<<<<<<MIND BLOWN>>>>>>>>
My butt is force sensitive
Why would the scientists test Omega's blood everyday, for 100s of days? And do they just take samples of random people on the base?
Let’s take a step back. How could the Kaminoans create a force-sensitive clone of a Mandalorian? There has to be a donor assisting their research. Was it Sifo Dias? Obi-Wan?! Yoda? It couldn’t be Palps as Omega was created before Clone Force 99, and all the prior failed experiments before her. So it must be a Jedi. She’s literally a combination of a Mandalorian and a Jedi, you can even say she’s the child of Obi-Wan and Satine to a certain extent! Oohhhhh
I'll put money down that the test chamber is going to reveal Snoke, and make it so he's some prototype they're testing on, a Jedi they captured and intend to see if they can recreate and manipulate before trying to make more palpatines. Imagine if Snoke's origin was from some badass jedi we get to meet some time down the line. That'd be cool imo.
Predictable but effective execution was spot on. Episode 3 was so good. So stoked Bad Bad is back.
16:05 Would love that the Bad Batch gets to hold that special place in the timeline as key players in defeating the dark side.
Omega loyal lol
Could Omega's blood line be connected to Rey?
