I felt so sorry for Crosshair watching this. He found someone that was not biased towards him and even risked his live to save him. But in the end Crosshair could not save the life of his friend.
Give Dee Bradley Baker a god damn award for this and everything else he has done for star wars, my god he took one voice and has given us so many heroes and legends from this one voice and different personalities. This episode hurt to watch it happen and it was beautiful to watch.
I believe it should be mentioned what Crosshair and Mayday said to each other when they came across the dead raiders body. Crosshair said “No point in carrying dead weight” while Mayday was confused on why the raiders comrades would leave him behind. Later on when Crosshair stepped on the mine, Mayday mentions how he wouldn’t want to carry Crosshair’s body back to the base, implying he would take his comrade even if he was dead, the opposite of what Crosshair said. However, later on in the episode, when Mayday tells Crosshair to go on without him as he is dying, Crosshair decides to stay and help his brother. Big change in heart in my opinion right there for Crosshair.
They repeated it multiple times. I doubt anyone actually watching wouldn't catch that. Obviously Crosshair changed in this episode. His programming is wearing off or being overwritten by his experiences. But yes it was incredibly well done.
This is my favourite episode yet, the episode featuring Cody is a close second but this just overtakes it as it finally feels like we’re leading up to something good this season
I agree. This episode was one of my favourite animated episodes of Star Wars ever including rebels and clone wars etc (top 20 episodes probably) incredible writing
@@jamesarnold7253 say what you want about Attack of the Clones but it did one amazing thing which is give us the clones, which lead to Revenge of the Sith, Clone Wars, Bad Batch and all other great clone moments.
What i loved about Nolan's death was that Cross-hair got his attention BEFORE shooting him; he wanted to make his contempt for him crystal clear. It was also neat hearing Crispin Freeman in this, especially since we also heard Yuri Lowenthal two episodes prior.
For me the most obvious thing that he was gonna to kill him. I would’ve agree with you if he didn’t disrespected the clones at beginning of the episode
As a soldier in the Army, Nolan made my blood boil and he got what he deserved. Goes to show how talented Crispin Freeman is. You can fall in love with his roles like Itachi, to absolutely hating Nolan. Truly an amazingly talented voice actor. And cannot forget to appreciate the writers for his characters too
Was confused on why you mentioned Itachi, so I searched it up. I didn’t watch Naruto in dub but what are the chances that two completely unrelated characters from two shows that I watch have the same voice actor. And agreed that Lieutenant deserved every bit of it.
It wasn't loyalty a good soldier does his duty natzis said the same thing he was used for what he was and discarded let's hope he redeems himself and helps his brothers
Now Crosshair sees the real horror of the Empire. He thought if he remained a loyal soldier that he’ll have a place in the new regime, but after this episode he truly realized what his brothers were trying to tell him all this time.
Very much like all the people now who follow the mainstream narratives and "the current thing." The useful idiots all think they'll have a place in the new global regime but they'll be the first ones to be told to face the wall and shot after their usefulness is over. Happens everytime.
I think he is in for a real horror show... god knows what they will do to him... I think he will be geneticly modified, brainwashed and maybe turned into the first of the Dark Troopers... Those last scenes did not make me hopefull for his future at all!
I interpreted that scene with the bird as Crosshair not going to leave his brother behind to be scavenged... The lieutenant told Crosshair to leave Mayday, but he wasn't going to do that.
I did wonder what the Eagle meant. Maybe like a sign. To set himself free. From his anger. And the empire .. Maybe a lesson for us too. To set yourself free of the shackles ..
I loved this episode, I thought way Crosshair went from seeing Mayday as potential "dead weight," to fighting against all odds to save him - quite literally dragging him back - really developed his character. Especially his humanity and obvious sense of justice and injustice, clearly depicted by his execution of the Lieutenant. I hope to see more episodes following Crosshair as he decides what orders he should and should not follow just like his old squad did before him.
Maydays death was the saddest scene in the whole whole. Even his armor is degrading and it shows how much they really don't care about my clone boys. RIP Mayday, most emotional episode, and the darkest.
I'm digging Mayday's armor design. The way it's the standard clone army but with more wraps to make up for pieces lost. He looks like he just walked out of Fallujah.
@@lucianodimeglio 99 was a name for that clone. Just like Fives. They had a persona, but giving them a name and a face is different then them having just their CT-Number with helmets on.
Nolan carried the same level of hatred and disrespect to the clones just like General Krell. I really loved this episode and how they showed Crosshair just having a change of heart was brilliantly told. I threw my fist in the air and screamed when Crosshair turned on Nolan😂
@@iampotatogaming1686 yeah but that was only because he knew order 66 was imminent. krell was an opportunist thats why he was cruel because he needed to get rid of those clones but nolan was needlessly cruel which makes him worse in my opinion
I’m gonna have to disagree on the Morai theory. We’ve only ever seen her appear, whenever Ahsoka appears. And there’s no evidence that Morai alters her appearance to suit the climate or whatever. That would not be the smartest move for them to do, without an appearance from Ahsoka. Mayday even names them Ice Vultures, in the episode.
I agree. I feel like that's an unnecessary stretch that really has nothing to do with his story. I think he just saw the vulture and thought "I'll give him more scraps to eat..." before killing him off.
Yeah, I agree. The vulture is definitely a significant feature of the episode, but I think that's because it's used as a framing device/symbol, not as a hint to a character returning.
I think he was mad because the lieutenant wanted crosshair to leave mayday on the ground for the vultures, and yeah when he went into that Ashoka stuff I was just sitting there like “what is he goin on about, that’s so stupid”
The subtitles called the bird an ice vulture. And mayday said that if you die out there you’re food for the vultures. I think the statement combined with the vulture is what made crosshair crack
I don’t think that was the light side bird. I think that was just the ice vulture from earlier on in the episode. Mayday said, “you got to admire them, they survive”. After all crosshair went through, and then being told to “leave him”, he knew that mayday would just be food for the ice vulture. That image, I believe, is what finally got him to turn. The fact that Mayday did everything he was told, was a “good soldier” to the core, and the empire still would have left him for the carrion eaters.
I agree, great analysis. The LT wanted Mayday left to rot, and the Ice Vulture would have surely gotten to him, as Mayday told Crosshair in the beginning. That thought is what led Crosshair to finally revolt.
I liked crosshairs PTSD scene with the shuttle blowing up and him panicking because of the past experience. Also that line Mayday says “in my book, respect is something that is earned” was a bit of a reference to Rex’s quote “experience outranks everything”
@@ravantstudios3113 It was actually because he had his thermal scope on because of the snow. Then, since the ship blew up, it was like a lightning strike, and it blinded him.
Loved this episode... Very reminiscent of how American vets are often be treated, especially during the Vietnam era. Millions of clones that have gained their individuality, saved countless lives during the Clone Wars... All for them to be discarded like they were nothing. Truly a tragedy... What's even more twisted is that they were forced to kill the Jedi, those who they lived/fought with for years. The clones are obviously the superior trooper compared to the goofy, clunky stormtroopers, but the empire is focused on cloning experiments and the vast conscription of regular people... Funny... The rebellion wouldn't stand a chance if the clones were kept in mass active duty. Makes me wonder how many priority/specialty clones stay in service and/or if we'll see a clone rebellion/uprising.
I HATE the Vietnam War and I HATE the fact that the American government forced so many innocent Americans to go disnover there, but the way veterans were treated by both the American government and the American public after the war ended is nothing short of disgusting They never asked to go fight halfway across the world in a jungle, yet when they came back they were treated like the scum of the earth. Society saw them as nothing but unwanted garbage. It’s so sad
Just wait till we're conscripted and forced to fight WW3 against Russia and China even though we were yelling at bottom of our lungs to the retarded masses that the current conflict in Ukraine needs to end asap before it becomes a nuclear conflict.
@@juansanchez209 Not much has changed. The people who come back from overseas are discarded and left to fend for themselves which is not great when they're also suffering from PTSD.
@@bilbobeutlin3319yeah… this is why there’s literally only a couple episodes that are peak Clone Wars level quality. Maybe those are the episodes Filoni were involved in
I think that is very unlikely to happen... I got real bad vibes from those last scenes.... I think he will be experimented on, have his free will and thoughts taken and be turned into something horrible... as others suspekt I think we are witnessing the birth of the first draktroopers... :/
@@Marcus-ly2bi I doubt it be echo because they want a sad dead so prolly another member. When I mean sad, like sad as in someone who’s gotten a lot of time in this particular show.
I'd guess Crosshair is on Mt. Tantiss simply because he was identified as a Clone Force 99 member. So the doctor's going to manipulate him into hunting and capturing Omega. Maybe his chip will be re-installed, or he'll be kept on surveillance somehow on that mission
Seeing how the empire ignored Mayday and let him die, calling him used equipment makes my heart break. And those other two clones who just died…when they are named it just feels so much more.
Utterly brilliant episode. Predictions - crosshair being held in same place as zillo beast, bad batch will go back (try to) kill zillo beast, find crosshair and escape with him.
this episode was absolutely brilliant. 10/10 performance and character development for crosshair, it was really impactful to see him finally do the right thing by gunning down the lieutenant. i hope we see more from him in the next few episodes, same with Cody, Rex, Echo, etc.
This Crosshair episode was definitely dark and went even further than any other SW show or movies ever would. I was so devastated, heartbroken, and hurt when Crosshair actually tried to help Mayday. Especially since he just gained respect for that clone trooper. The fact that he got redeemed after he was showing remorse for leaving the Bad Batch and even caring for dying Mayday is just so deep. Also, I was crying really hard when they just left Mayday to die without any help from the medic. 😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
Something that hit so hard was after they found the Stormtrooper armor is when Mayday say, "We were good soldiers, we followed orders" that shit just hit hard
Mayday, only being in one episode, is going to be a fan favorite clone everyone loves now along with Howzer. Just shows how Doo the direction and writing is
I feel like someone from the bad batch will die in order for Crosshair to rejoin the rest, or, as the ultimate sacrifice, Crosshair might give his life for one of his former brothers. I feel like since Omega is now hunted by the researchers, maybe they'll take her from Clone Force 99 and take her to the same facility as Crosshair, The Bad Batch will try to get her back as they are about to meet their demise, Crosshair might save the day and again, imo there's only two outcomes. Either Tech gives his life for Crosshair or it's Crosshair giving his own for someone or all of them. just a thought
That makes a lot of sense, I feel like there's a tie in that they've been setting up for. Bringing all these characters to the facility and setting in place more reasons for everyone to be involved or affected by it in some way. So it being a matter of time till the whole gang's there for some reason. Who knows, maybe they even operate on and then force Crosshair to hunt down Omega (even if that's very far fetched).
@@Cloud7050 i mean they might re-activate his chip or implant a new one in order to get her or something like that? forcing the others to put aside their past and brotherhood in order to save Omega. it is far fetched indeed but it's a possibility, doesn't really make sense because it kills this episode completely, he finally snapped just to get controlled again? i mean it's star wars. everything is possible
Cody didn't become a Dark Trooper in legends. He served the rest of his life on Kamino training non clone soldiers and was eventually killed when either Starkiller broke out or when the Rebellion took over.
What if commanders neyo and Barbara do to their cod ruthless personality they care about success and so anything to win battles. What if they chose to become the dark trooper project
I hope crosshair meets up with Cody again, if Cody contacted Rex (as he’s the main dude who helped clones escape) Crosshair could meet both Rex and Echo which would probably be our first time seeing Crosshair and Echo interact to each other and possibly bond more as brothers helping other clones, then the bad batch will go back to Rex and Echo and find out Crosshair is there and have tensions rise between the batch and Crosshair.
When Bad Batch was announced I initially thought it would end with every team member dead. With the addition of Omega, I think she will be the only surviving member.
7:41 Or more likely Dr. Hemlock will enlist Crosshair’s help in finding the Bad Batch in order to locate Omega at Lama Su’s suggestion in Hemlock’s efforts to persuade Nala Se to cooperate in the Empire’s cloning experiments
One thing I noticed in this episode was the music in places largely resembled the last episode of The Clone Wars. There were lots of moments without vocals but just powerful emotive music that almost perfectly resembled the same scores from the last scene of TCW when Vader visits the crashed venator. I think it was symbolic of the changing period between the clones of the Republic and the new Empire. Interesting that they chose to replicate that!
Especially when Mayday joked about him, saying “Remind me to not die on your watch.” (6:27) I was watching this on Solarmovies with the captions on (I’m not deaf, I just turn them on so I know exactly what the characters are saying, because sometimes I miss some of it). When that bird made a noise, the captions said “Ice Vulture”.
I was screaming my head off during the watch party during Mayday's death. Just like with Crosshair, I'd had enough. Too many clones just dying this season when they didn't deserve it (The guy that Rampart shoots and Mayday are the 2 that come to mind) So proud of Crosshair for shooting Noland, that guy was a d***.
It was worth the wait and time for this episode of crosshair finally realizing how much the bad batch were right about the empire I think the last two part episode will determine what happens but I’m glad to say this episode just helps builds more of the plot then at the beginning.
This might literally be my favorite episode from the bad batch series so far out of all the ones from seasons 1 and 2. Such emotion being shown with twists and turns you didn't expect
Hunter *did* tell Crosshair that the latter will only be seen as a number to the Empire. It reminds me of what Kilowag said to Razer in the Green Lantern animated series: “You know what you’re fighting against, but what are you fighting for?”
Crosshair didn't say that his troupe died he said "they're gone" which was a very deliberate choice on his part to not 'technically' lie. Not that he would care about lying, but the empire might care if they thought he was hidding them. Also, I love how Crosshair gets briefly blinded at the beginning of the episode. It is symbolic of how he has been blinded by lies and by a hope in an empire that has not existed for years now.
6:30 actually earlier in the episode the clone commander made a comment about how he admires those very birds, saying they adapt, and that clones do too
A Crosshair focused episode is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! The animation style and the story itself really reeled me in! His disillusion to the empire is at this point really makes me happy that he doesn't want to be apart of that faction no more.
@@Zacama_27 next week’s episode: Cid: Listen boys, I know I just left ya for dead and ya have no reason to trust me and I’m probably gonna turn you over to the Empire, but hey work for me because money. Bad Batch: Well, she did betray us.. seems legit.
4:25 crosshair did not “give him his helmet”. The screenshot obviously shows it was *Mayday’s* helmet. The emotional weight is that crosshair didn’t leave him for dead. That’s the evolution of his character. He feels guilt now for leaving his brothers now that he knows how evil the empire is.
I think crosshair keeping his loyalty to his brothers and rejecting the empire is perfectly paralleled with Dins unyielding loyalty to his beliefs, and bolth episodes being the same day. As George said it's poetry it rhymes
Interesting take on the bird. My self, I saw it as one would a vulture circling in the desert. A sign of the end... And at the end... There is NOTHING left to lose. That is the time one would choose a side. Thanks for the break down! As always! :)
This Episode was Absolutely Incredible and Heartbreaking at the Same Time. Seeing Crosshair and Mayday realize that The Empire doesn't care about them at all was so tragic. As Mayday says "We're Good Soldiers, We Followed Orders, And For What?" Then to see that at The Beginning of The Episode Crosshair didn't want to carry "Deadweight" but at The End when Mayday tells Him to go without Him, He doesn't leave His Brother Behind and carries Him Back. It was a Beautiful Character Arc for Crosshair. Then when He carries Him back, Lieutenant Nolan who became the most despicable and hated Character in all Of Star Wars, could have saved Mayday but He didn't. It was so Heartbreaking to watch. R.I.P. Mayday. I felt so bad For Crosshair in This Episode. This is when He Truly sees how Cruel and Evil The Empire is and when He finally snaps and shot Nolan, It was so Satisfying And He got what He Deserved. This Episode was Absolutely Brilliant. One of My Favorite Episodes of The Entire Show, If not My Favorite along with The Cody and Crosshair Episode. Some Of The Best Star Wars Content I've Ever Seen. I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR SEASON 3!!!!!! FORRRRRR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!

You already got so many connections at Disney with Actors and Stunt Coordinators you interviewed :) I feel like the door is open for you. It's just a couple of calls Away! DO IT! MY APPRENTICE :) Much Love
I almost cried, Mayday suffered so much, and was treated by the Empire like a droid, all clones were. Something we have all learned is false. Crosshair I also loved his character arc. From going to a cynical sniper who poked fun at regular troopers, to nearly dying saving one. The desperation as they huddled together on Hoth 2.0. I’m heart broken, and excited at the same time. Crosshair did the galaxy of one upstart Imperial boot licking clone hating empire loving no respect nobody lieutenant I hated Rampart, but I can see it’s only getting worse. Funfact, in Captain Brigg’s cameo, (who was likely reassigned to Coruscant during her failures at Raxus thanks to the Bad Batch) treating the clones as if she were some tired IRS agent.
This episode gave me some Band of Brothers vibes having Mayday and his team stranded in the snow with limited resources. Also, one other point about Crosshair's development is we usually see him openly annoyed or indifferent with "regs" and we got to see him develop a bond with Mayday and treat him like a brother rather than just a reg. Overall, awesome episode!
I always thought that the bird Crosshair saw was a call back to Mayday explaining that the vultures survive because they adapt. It seemed that Ceosshair was realizing that if he wanted to survive, he would need to change things up and break ranks this time.
I really feel for Crosshair. He's been kicked around at this point and he's finally starting to wake up. MayDay's death was the closest thing he had to companionship, and it was calusly taken from him. His hero to villain arc is one of the best I've seen
That Lieutenant is right up there with Pong Krell as the biggest as*holes in the Star Wars galaxy. And honestly, he's probably worse because at least Krell was cool. Glad he got his just deserts.
What an AMAZING episode. Well, it took a lot for Crosshair, through his modified chip and all, to realise the clones' fate under the new Empire. To break through the programming and think for himself. Truly learnt the hard way. But isn't that what makes this such gripping writing...
I don't think the bird was an inspiration, actually the opposite. It's a vulture, which eats dead things. Thinking of how Mayday would be left here to be eaten by the empire is what pushed him over the edge.
9:25 And Commander Doom, can’t forget the camo-rocking Commander who was supposed to be among what was to be a total of nine Clones on the walker in rebels.
Just going to say this before I watch the video. This episode made me more emotional than Star Wars has in a while. When I was hyped yelling at my screen, I’ll tell you I should’ve gotten noice complaints, especially at the twist at the end. Amazing episode and this shows the potential this series has to be amazing. It bridges the gap between the fans of 4-6 and 1-3 together. It makes you feel for these guys, more so than the clone wars did. They were at least fodder back then, now they’re just garbage. Hard to think clones like hardcase, heavy, thorns Keli, etc. all went down protecting the republic.. I wonder how that weighs on surviving clones from the war.. Jus some high thoughts don’t roast me too hard
Also I can’t help that feel that every clone death just feels sadder and sadder from here on out. They’re a dying “race”, doomed to accelerated aging and misuse from the empire. It’s the thought that with each one passing, you know they’re never coming back. There’s not going to be another clone made to replace them, there’s no new clone stories to be made, we are dealing with survivors. This show is going to be very emotional for people who are fans of the prequel era, I can feel it
If I was an Imperial stormtrooper or officer I would at least have a high level for respect for the Clones and even fight with them on the front lines. The clones deserved better. :(
Yeah I was thinking that the bad batch will have to go to mount tantis probably to save omega and they will find crosshair along the way. But I actually think crosshair will redeem and sacrifice himself to allow the bad batch to escape with omega.
This was a really good episode. They did an amazing job getting us attached to the clones. And showing their side of the story and definitely crosshairs redemption is something I’ve been waiting for for a while however, I do like Tech, so I really hope he doesn’t die.
This season is really hitting it out the park. I remember not really liking the bad batch when they were first introduced but i persisted and now I can not get enough these characters are so good, in filoni I trust
Such a heartbreaking episode. You can really see the conflict in crosshairs face deciding weather or not he should stay loyal to a army that sees him as an expendable piece of military hardware. Really hope we see him rebel and join the bad batch again.
I felt so sorry for Crosshair watching this. He found someone that was not biased towards him and even risked his live to save him. But in the end Crosshair could not save the life of his friend.

I was growing a bit bored of the bad batch but then out of nowhere the last 2 episodes have been absolutely fantastic. Really excited for this arc!

Maydays death was the saddest scene in the whole whole. Even his armor is degrading and it shows how much they really don't care about my clone boys. RIP Mayday, most emotional episode, and the darkest.
Yes, that's a great point! I love that they stay true to the poetic nature of Star Wars.
I'm digging Mayday's armor design. The way it's the standard clone army but with more wraps to make up for pieces lost. He looks like he just walked out of Fallujah.
Looks like some Star Wars the force unleashed skin
i dont think parts were lost i think he jsut has extra wrapping as he said just having armour on isnt enough and you will freeze
They really keep introducing awesome clones, getting us so attached, and then offing them. Way to play with my heart Filoni. 👏🏼
Only way to truly experience what happened with the clones. Get ready to cry later on as one or more Bad Batch member dies.
It was humanizing them with names which makes us feel for them. If they were just nameless it wouldn’t have the same impact

Nolan carried the same level of hatred and disrespect to the clones just like General Krell. I really loved this episode and how they showed Crosshair just having a change of heart was brilliantly told. I threw my fist in the air and screamed when Crosshair turned on Nolan😂
only difference is krells hatred was more justified as he sensed order 66
@Dutch Van Der Linde it was more that he turned and was serving Dooku and trying to hand Umbara over to the separatists
@@iampotatogaming1686 yeah but that was only because he knew order 66 was imminent. krell was an opportunist thats why he was cruel because he needed to get rid of those clones but nolan was needlessly cruel which makes him worse in my opinion
This was by far the most realistic episode, and I legit had my eyes watering at maydays death.
This episode was not as much for kids as the rest
@@Blueninja2026 Truth
I’m gonna have to disagree on the Morai theory. We’ve only ever seen her appear, whenever Ahsoka appears. And there’s no evidence that Morai alters her appearance to suit the climate or whatever. That would not be the smartest move for them to do, without an appearance from Ahsoka. Mayday even names them Ice Vultures, in the episode.
I agree. I feel like that's an unnecessary stretch that really has nothing to do with his story. I think he just saw the vulture and thought "I'll give him more scraps to eat..." before killing him off.
I agree, not everything has to be linked to the Force or Ahsoka, i'm getting tired of her being shoehorned into everything.
Yeah, I agree. The vulture is definitely a significant feature of the episode, but I think that's because it's used as a framing device/symbol, not as a hint to a character returning.
Agree
I think he was mad because the lieutenant wanted crosshair to leave mayday on the ground for the vultures, and yeah when he went into that Ashoka stuff I was just sitting there like “what is he goin on about, that’s so stupid”
The subtitles called the bird an ice vulture. And mayday said that if you die out there you’re food for the vultures. I think the statement combined with the vulture is what made crosshair crack
Yup
theory was stretching that like crazy tbf
Maydey’s helmet sadly now joined his fellow men. And all of the helmets were most likely discarded like objects 😢
I don’t think that was the light side bird. I think that was just the ice vulture from earlier on in the episode. Mayday said, “you got to admire them, they survive”. After all crosshair went through, and then being told to “leave him”, he knew that mayday would just be food for the ice vulture. That image, I believe, is what finally got him to turn. The fact that Mayday did everything he was told, was a “good soldier” to the core, and the empire still would have left him for the carrion eaters.
@@fydiousmckormick I honestly forgot Morai even existed. SWT was reallllyyy reaching for this reference.
I agree, great analysis. The LT wanted Mayday left to rot, and the Ice Vulture would have surely gotten to him, as Mayday told Crosshair in the beginning. That thought is what led Crosshair to finally revolt.
That vulture is far bigger than Morai as well.
To add on to this, the closed captions also call it an ice vulture.
Another cool commander to add to the list of clones killed too soon.
The part when Crosshair asks for a medic reminds me of the Andor episode when they let the old man die.
I liked crosshairs PTSD scene with the shuttle blowing up and him panicking because of the past experience.
Also that line Mayday says “in my book, respect is something that is earned” was a bit of a reference to Rex’s quote “experience outranks everything”
He was wearing a thermal scope that burned his eyes. Idk if it was ptsd
I thought that was just him being blinded by the explosion while using the thermal vision goggles plus hella zoom
Maybe, It was exaggerated quite a bit so I initially thought it was his PTSD since he did have quite a traumatic experience when his face burnt off
@@ravantstudios3113 It was actually because he had his thermal scope on because of the snow. Then, since the ship blew up, it was like a lightning strike, and it blinded him.
i also thought of Rex’s “experience outranks everything” when Mayday said that
Loved this episode... Very reminiscent of how American vets are often be treated, especially during the Vietnam era. Millions of clones that have gained their individuality, saved countless lives during the Clone Wars... All for them to be discarded like they were nothing. Truly a tragedy... What's even more twisted is that they were forced to kill the Jedi, those who they lived/fought with for years. The clones are obviously the superior trooper compared to the goofy, clunky stormtroopers, but the empire is focused on cloning experiments and the vast conscription of regular people... Funny... The rebellion wouldn't stand a chance if the clones were kept in mass active duty. Makes me wonder how many priority/specialty clones stay in service and/or if we'll see a clone rebellion/uprising.
I HATE the Vietnam War and I HATE the fact that the American government forced so many innocent Americans to go disnover there, but the way veterans were treated by both the American government and the American public after the war ended is nothing short of disgusting
They never asked to go fight halfway across the world in a jungle, yet when they came back they were treated like the scum of the earth. Society saw them as nothing but unwanted garbage. It’s so sad
Well, there were more than enough idiotic Clone Troopers as well.
Just wait till we're conscripted and forced to fight WW3 against Russia and China even though we were yelling at bottom of our lungs to the retarded masses that the current conflict in Ukraine needs to end asap before it becomes a nuclear conflict.
@@juansanchez209 Not much has changed. The people who come back from overseas are discarded and left to fend for themselves which is not great when they're also suffering from PTSD.
So the empire is the American military command?...the pentagon the CIA the FBI the military industrial complex?...yep have to agree
I love Crosshair. You can tell Filoni really cares about his character. This was my favorite episode.
Filoni isn't all that ivolved in the show
Who wrote the show?
@@thissazonna Dave Filoni is head writer.
@@bilbobeutlin3319yeah… this is why there’s literally only a couple episodes that are peak Clone Wars level quality. Maybe those are the episodes Filoni were involved in
@@GotchaProductions Filoni isn't the only capable writer you know
Crosshair is definitely turning his cheek from the empire. Hope he doesn’t die and gets back with his brothers ❤️
I think that is very unlikely to happen... I got real bad vibes from those last scenes.... I think he will be experimented on, have his free will and thoughts taken and be turned into something horrible... as others suspekt I think we are witnessing the birth of the first draktroopers... :/
@Joker Ink and Custom Builds what are "draktroopers"?
@@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029 They are the ones created from my fasttyping fat fingers...
I was so proud of him! He finally understood!
But if Tech dies, I'm going to riot!
Most likely echo
@@Marcus-ly2bi I doubt it be echo because they want a sad dead so prolly another member. When I mean sad, like sad as in someone who’s gotten a lot of time in this particular show.
I honestly think it will be Crosshair sacrificing himself to save Omega as redemption. Just basing off of Star War's reoccurring redemption theme.
Tech will be fine
Wrecker will die
I'd guess Crosshair is on Mt. Tantiss simply because he was identified as a Clone Force 99 member. So the doctor's going to manipulate him into hunting and capturing Omega. Maybe his chip will be re-installed, or he'll be kept on surveillance somehow on that mission
Or be a dark trooper
I think irs just a set up so all our characters will end up at the same location for the shows final episodes
Seeing how the empire ignored Mayday and let him die, calling him used equipment makes my heart break. And those other two clones who just died…when they are named it just feels so much more.
Utterly brilliant episode. Predictions - crosshair being held in same place as zillo beast, bad batch will go back (try to) kill zillo beast, find crosshair and escape with him.
this episode was absolutely brilliant. 10/10 performance and character development for crosshair, it was really impactful to see him finally do the right thing by gunning down the lieutenant.
i hope we see more from him in the next few episodes, same with Cody, Rex, Echo, etc.
This Crosshair episode was definitely dark and went even further than any other SW show or movies ever would. I was so devastated, heartbroken, and hurt when Crosshair actually tried to help Mayday. Especially since he just gained respect for that clone trooper. The fact that he got redeemed after he was showing remorse for leaving the Bad Batch and even caring for dying Mayday is just so deep. Also, I was crying really hard when they just left Mayday to die without any help from the medic. 😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
I knew that Crosahair was gonna see the light side sooner or later.
Something that hit so hard was after they found the Stormtrooper armor is when Mayday say, "We were good soldiers, we followed orders" that shit just hit hard
I can't wait for Crosshair reunite with the Bad Batch.
Mayday, only being in one episode, is going to be a fan favorite clone everyone loves now along with Howzer. Just shows how Doo the direction and writing is
I feel like someone from the bad batch will die in order for Crosshair to rejoin the rest, or, as the ultimate sacrifice, Crosshair might give his life for one of his former brothers.
I feel like since Omega is now hunted by the researchers, maybe they'll take her from Clone Force 99 and take her to the same facility as Crosshair, The Bad Batch will try to get her back as they are about to meet their demise, Crosshair might save the day and again, imo there's only two outcomes. Either Tech gives his life for Crosshair or it's Crosshair giving his own for someone or all of them. just a thought
That makes a lot of sense, I feel like there's a tie in that they've been setting up for. Bringing all these characters to the facility and setting in place more reasons for everyone to be involved or affected by it in some way. So it being a matter of time till the whole gang's there for some reason. Who knows, maybe they even operate on and then force Crosshair to hunt down Omega (even if that's very far fetched).
@@Cloud7050 i mean they might re-activate his chip or implant a new one in order to get her or something like that? forcing the others to put aside their past and brotherhood in order to save Omega. it is far fetched indeed but it's a possibility, doesn't really make sense because it kills this episode completely, he finally snapped just to get controlled again? i mean it's star wars. everything is possible
@@lv4056 Somehow, Palpatine returned. Yeah anything is possible.
It's more than likely that Crosshair will be used to find Omega and bring her to the doctor so they can coerce Nala Se to continue her work.
This
I just noticed this episode how close crosshair's armor is to the deathtroopers! Loved the episode
I’m having a feeling that Crosshair is going to become a dark trooper and some of the clones.
Oh god I never thought of that... I hope that doesn't happen but it seems very probable
Cody didn't become a Dark Trooper in legends. He served the rest of his life on Kamino training non clone soldiers and was eventually killed when either Starkiller broke out or when the Rebellion took over.
@@coruscant100 edited my message I got my source from RUclips not wookiepedia MB.
What if commanders neyo and Barbara do to their cod ruthless personality they care about success and so anything to win battles. What if they chose to become the dark trooper project
Aren't dark troopers robots?
Fact: Every crosshair episode is a banger
I hope crosshair meets up with Cody again, if Cody contacted Rex (as he’s the main dude who helped clones escape) Crosshair could meet both Rex and Echo which would probably be our first time seeing Crosshair and Echo interact to each other and possibly bond more as brothers helping other clones, then the bad batch will go back to Rex and Echo and find out Crosshair is there and have tensions rise between the batch and Crosshair.
If there was a tense reunion between the bad batch and crosshair, Omega will be there to calm things down as she knew there was still good in him.
Echo and cross hair met on Skako Minlr
*Minor
Echo and Crosshair interact in The Clone Wars season 7 and the Bad Batch pilot.
Looking forward to Crosshair returning to Clone force 99 as a permanent member or even briefly if he gives his life for them.
When Bad Batch was announced I initially thought it would end with every team member dead.
With the addition of Omega, I think she will be the only surviving member.
@@osonhouston Omega is going to outlive them all so she’s likely to be the only surviving member regardless if they die in battle or from old age.
@@acgearsandarms1343 I hope it is in a glorious battle.
They need to go out in a way that honors 99.
Anyone notice the scientist working on Crosshair had Omega's voice?
This was amazing, I feel absolutely terrible for Commander Mayday, amazing break down as always theory : )
7:41 Or more likely Dr. Hemlock will enlist Crosshair’s help in finding the Bad Batch in order to locate Omega at Lama Su’s suggestion in Hemlock’s efforts to persuade Nala Se to cooperate in the Empire’s cloning experiments
The two crosshair episodes this season are by far the best and its not even close in my opinion.
This was a really cool episode and I like how it showed the problems clones face during the transition
It’s cool having an overlap of the bad batch and mando. Two awesome episodes from both series this week!
One thing I noticed in this episode was the music in places largely resembled the last episode of The Clone Wars. There were lots of moments without vocals but just powerful emotive music that almost perfectly resembled the same scores from the last scene of TCW when Vader visits the crashed venator. I think it was symbolic of the changing period between the clones of the Republic and the new Empire. Interesting that they chose to replicate that!
Especially when Mayday joked about him, saying “Remind me to not die on your watch.”
(6:27) I was watching this on Solarmovies with the captions on (I’m not deaf, I just turn them on so I know exactly what the characters are saying, because sometimes I miss some of it). When that bird made a noise, the captions said “Ice Vulture”.
I was screaming my head off during the watch party during Mayday's death. Just like with Crosshair, I'd had enough. Too many clones just dying this season when they didn't deserve it (The guy that Rampart shoots and Mayday are the 2 that come to mind) So proud of Crosshair for shooting Noland, that guy was a d***.
It was worth the wait and time for this episode of crosshair finally realizing how much the bad batch were right about the empire I think the last two part episode will determine what happens but I’m glad to say this episode just helps builds more of the plot then at the beginning.
This might literally be my favorite episode from the bad batch series so far out of all the ones from seasons 1 and 2. Such emotion being shown with twists and turns you didn't expect
Hunter *did* tell Crosshair that the latter will only be seen as a number to the Empire.
It reminds me of what Kilowag said to Razer in the Green Lantern animated series: “You know what you’re fighting against, but what are you fighting for?”
Crosshair didn't say that his troupe died he said "they're gone" which was a very deliberate choice on his part to not 'technically' lie. Not that he would care about lying, but the empire might care if they thought he was hidding them.
Also, I love how Crosshair gets briefly blinded at the beginning of the episode. It is symbolic of how he has been blinded by lies and by a hope in an empire that has not existed for years now.
6:30 actually earlier in the episode the clone commander made a comment about how he admires those very birds, saying they adapt, and that clones do too
A Crosshair focused episode is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! The animation style and the story itself really reeled me in!
His disillusion to the empire is at this point really makes me happy that he doesn't want to be apart of that faction no more.
Last few episodes are going to bring Cody, crosshair and the bad batch all together (hopefully)
Don’t jinx it they’ll force another Cid mission on us 😂
@@epiczk0n141 leaving cid for good
@@Zacama_27 next week’s episode:
Cid: Listen boys, I know I just left ya for dead and ya have no reason to trust me and I’m probably gonna turn you over to the Empire, but hey work for me because money.
Bad Batch: Well, she did betray us.. seems legit.
4:25 crosshair did not “give him his helmet”. The screenshot obviously shows it was *Mayday’s* helmet. The emotional weight is that crosshair didn’t leave him for dead. That’s the evolution of his character. He feels guilt now for leaving his brothers now that he knows how evil the empire is.
I think crosshair keeping his loyalty to his brothers and rejecting the empire is perfectly paralleled with Dins unyielding loyalty to his beliefs, and bolth episodes being the same day. As George said it's poetry it rhymes
Interesting take on the bird. My self, I saw it as one would a vulture circling in the desert. A sign of the end... And at the end... There is NOTHING left to lose. That is the time one would choose a side.
Thanks for the break down! As always! :)
This visually was a phenomenal episode
This Episode was Absolutely Incredible and Heartbreaking at the Same Time.
Seeing Crosshair and Mayday realize that The Empire doesn't care about them at all was so tragic. As Mayday says "We're Good Soldiers, We Followed Orders, And For What?" Then to see that at The Beginning of The Episode Crosshair didn't want to carry "Deadweight" but at The End when Mayday tells Him to go without Him, He doesn't leave His Brother Behind and carries Him Back. It was a Beautiful Character Arc for Crosshair. Then when He carries Him back, Lieutenant Nolan who became the most despicable and hated Character in all Of Star Wars, could have saved Mayday but He didn't. It was so Heartbreaking to watch. R.I.P. Mayday. I felt so bad For Crosshair in This Episode. This is when He Truly sees how Cruel and Evil The Empire is and when He finally snaps and shot Nolan, It was so Satisfying And He got what He Deserved. This Episode was Absolutely Brilliant. One of My Favorite Episodes of The Entire Show, If not My Favorite along with The Cody and Crosshair Episode. Some Of The Best Star Wars Content I've Ever Seen. I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR SEASON 3!!!!!! FORRRRRR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!
Theory finds a way to mention Plo Koon saying "Not to me" in any video lol love it
"He was nothing more than a wooden Minecraft tool, good for the basics until it broke or what is used for fuel for his replacements"

It was soooo good. This is real Star Wars content that moves me :) Theory YOU ROCK! I follow you since 2018 when I needed inspiration for my own created Sci-fi Fantasy Universe. You have such a Talent to translate Comics, breakdowns and anything into a great Story. YOU SHOULD WORK FACE TO FACE WITH DAVE AND JON. You can do it. You already got so many connections at Disney with Actors and Stunt Coordinators you interviewed :) I feel like the door is open for you. It's just a couple of calls Away!
DO IT! MY APPRENTICE :)
Much Love
I almost cried, Mayday suffered so much, and was treated by the Empire like a droid, all clones were.
Something we have all learned is false.
Crosshair I also loved his character arc.
From going to a cynical sniper who poked fun at regular troopers, to nearly dying saving one. The desperation as they huddled together on Hoth 2.0.
I’m heart broken, and excited at the same time. Crosshair did the galaxy of one upstart Imperial boot licking clone hating empire loving no respect nobody lieutenant
I hated Rampart, but I can see it’s only getting worse.
Funfact, in Captain Brigg’s cameo, (who was likely reassigned to Coruscant during her failures at Raxus thanks to the Bad Batch) treating the clones as if she were some tired IRS agent.
The episodes with crosshair this season have easily been 10/10 episodes I love to see the growth
Literally whenever Crosshair shows up you know it's about to get real
This episode gave me some Band of Brothers vibes having Mayday and his team stranded in the snow with limited resources. Also, one other point about Crosshair's development is we usually see him openly annoyed or indifferent with "regs" and we got to see him develop a bond with Mayday and treat him like a brother rather than just a reg. Overall, awesome episode!
I always thought that the bird Crosshair saw was a call back to Mayday explaining that the vultures survive because they adapt. It seemed that Ceosshair was realizing that if he wanted to survive, he would need to change things up and break ranks this time.
more so because vultures east the dead aka it would eat maydays body
I really feel for Crosshair. He's been kicked around at this point and he's finally starting to wake up. MayDay's death was the closest thing he had to companionship, and it was calusly taken from him. His hero to villain arc is one of the best I've seen
That Lieutenant is right up there with Pong Krell as the biggest as*holes in the Star Wars galaxy. And honestly, he's probably worse because at least Krell was cool. Glad he got his just deserts.
From "Good Soldiers follow order" to "We're good soldiers, we followed order. And for what?"
Crosshair finally realized!
You know a show has potential when half of its episodes ar filler and still It keeps you attached to the screen.🔥
What an AMAZING episode. Well, it took a lot for Crosshair, through his modified chip and all, to realise the clones' fate under the new Empire. To break through the programming and think for himself. Truly learnt the hard way. But isn't that what makes this such gripping writing...
I’m I the only one who has been enjoying these recent Bad Batch episodes more than the mandalorian ones
I don't think the bird was an inspiration, actually the opposite. It's a vulture, which eats dead things. Thinking of how Mayday would be left here to be eaten by the empire is what pushed him over the edge.
9:25 And Commander Doom, can’t forget the camo-rocking Commander who was supposed to be among what was to be a total of nine Clones on the walker in rebels.
Source?
Man I swear I wish we had more of this. This was insanely good. Crosshair is the best character imo and wow just an incredible episode. 👏
Anytime you see crosshair you automatically know its not a filler- and I immediately go get some pizza and other stuff
The Mandalorian episode and this Bad Batch episode is what Star Wars is about. Such great Episodes
was waiting for this breakdown 🗣️💯
Just going to say this before I watch the video. This episode made me more emotional than Star Wars has in a while. When I was hyped yelling at my screen, I’ll tell you I should’ve gotten noice complaints, especially at the twist at the end. Amazing episode and this shows the potential this series has to be amazing. It bridges the gap between the fans of 4-6 and 1-3 together. It makes you feel for these guys, more so than the clone wars did. They were at least fodder back then, now they’re just garbage. Hard to think clones like hardcase, heavy, thorns Keli, etc. all went down protecting the republic.. I wonder how that weighs on surviving clones from the war..
Jus some high thoughts don’t roast me too hard
I bet Lieutenant Nolan was “used equipment” in the academy amirite
Also I can’t help that feel that every clone death just feels sadder and sadder from here on out. They’re a dying “race”, doomed to accelerated aging and misuse from the empire. It’s the thought that with each one passing, you know they’re never coming back. There’s not going to be another clone made to replace them, there’s no new clone stories to be made, we are dealing with survivors. This show is going to be very emotional for people who are fans of the prequel era, I can feel it
Hey theory I’ve watched you for years your videos really make me happy keep up the content 👍
General krell”I am the worlds most hated character the galaxy has ever seen!!!”
Nolan “hold my beer “
If I was an Imperial stormtrooper or officer I would at least have a high level for respect for the Clones and even fight with them on the front lines. The clones deserved better. :(
This is a greatest episode for the clones something I have never seen in Star Wars and this lieutenant deserves what he got in this episode
Yeah I was thinking that the bad batch will have to go to mount tantis probably to save omega and they will find crosshair along the way. But I actually think crosshair will redeem and sacrifice himself to allow the bad batch to escape with omega.
I've been thinking that since the beginning.
This was a really good episode. They did an amazing job getting us attached to the clones. And showing their side of the story and definitely crosshairs redemption is something I’ve been waiting for for a while however, I do like Tech, so I really hope he doesn’t die.
I genuinely thought he was going to kill everyone
This episode ripped my heart out and kicked it around on the ground, so well done. Definitely my favorite episode so far
Fantastic episode! Seeing these awesome one off clones makes me want to know what happened to my boy Howzer.
Yeah I agree they had him arrested and than we never saw him again hope he wasnt killed
This season is really hitting it out the park. I remember not really liking the bad batch when they were first introduced but i persisted and now I can not get enough these characters are so good, in filoni I trust
This episode makes me excited for the season finale
Such a heartbreaking episode. You can really see the conflict in crosshairs face deciding weather or not he should stay loyal to a army that sees him as an expendable piece of military hardware. Really hope we see him rebel and join the bad batch again.
