People tend to forget Wrecker is really knowledgeable when it comes to explosives in general. He was teaching Omega how to disarm bombs in one episode, I wouldn’t be surprised if he could figure out how to make rudimentary explosives out of office supplies
Yeah, I wish people would remember that aspect of his character more, like he's not the brightest member of the squad but details like that show that he's not just a meathead.
@@itsturniptime3699 Also the fact he is a Clone, regardless of physical defects he still has all the training and mental prowess the others have, he's just more boisterous and fun loving, but he is extremely intelligent and well versed in his role. The Clones in general are extremely intelligent and were bred that way.
Fennec's probable contact was most likely in TBB S3 trailer but since the crew didn't watch the trailer to avoid potential spoilers, they're unaware of who's probably going to show up very soon.
One thing I think that's a bit overlooked when talking about their dynamic, is that Crosshair said the conditioning process to become an Operative stripped away identity. For the months they were imprisoned, Omega was the ONLY one who kept in contact with him and consistently kept talking to him. That did a great deal toward keeping his sense of humanity and identity in check, but it also bodes to a great subtle connection as to why he's so trusting and close with her. She got kept him out of the deep end there, I'd like to think, and that's probably why he was able to resist the conditioning even more.
if they haven't watched the recent trailer they don't know who fennic was talking to either. Only the most recent trailer had that. None of the previous ones including the one at celebration had the thing in it.@@shugaroony

The subject of Fenec Shands bounty (Sylar Saris) is a Yam’rii otherwise known as the Huk. The mantis like species that subjugated and was at war with the Kaleesh (General Grievous’ species). The Kaleesh had just attained the upper hand in the war when the Republic and Jedi finally took notice and took the side of the Yam’rii/Huk in the conflict since they at that point looked like the defensive party in the situation. Which is why General Grievous hates the Jedi so much aside from being a separatist later on in life after being shot down and turned into a cyborg. Seeing Sylar Saris on the hologram got me so hyped since I love those extra little lore backgrounds to characters I already love! (General Grievous) Long live the Confederacy of Independent Systems 🫡
Kinda funny you said the bug critter reminded you of Grievous, because I'm pretty sure it's a Yam'rii, and Grievous fought the Yam'rii back on Kalee in legends before the "accident" that turned him inside a cyborg.
My 2 cents: Crosshair's PTSD isn't from any torturous treatment he received while imprisoned. I think it stems from guilt for his part, perhaps willingly, in creating the X troopers from his DNA. I think his story will end with him meditating during a mission to calm his mind and then breaking the cardinal rule of being a sniper, giving away his position to draw fire away from the others so they can escape their assault on Mount Tantiss.
Honestly, after this episode and the several mention of Crosshair's issues being in his head, I'm suscribed to the theory theres more going on with crosshair.
I think the music that played at the end is quite telling of who the "character" was. It's def a theme used in the Clone Wars for a....certain character.
@@gbozzi05_Fennecs theme makes use of someone else's theme, but the sound design has been altered, and instrumentation is different. The first two cues that we hear here are IDENTICAL to the characters theme we hear first in TCW.
Caij Vanda has an Australian accent; Omega's VA is a New Zealander. I've heard that people not familiar with them have trouble distinguishing them, but the easiest way to tell is all the Aussie vowels sound like 'E', while all the Kiwi vowels sound like 'U'
Isn't Boba like 12 or 14 or something at this point? He's only a little older than Omega, right? I mean, she ages at a natural rate, so she must have been born before the Clone Wars started. They'd be around the same age, and this is only the first year of the Empire. I don't think he's doing much top-flight bounty hunting just yet.
@@Алексей-д1ц5мWookieepedia says he was born/created in 32 BBY after the Battle of Naboo. This show takes place in 18 BBY, which would make him 14 or 15 at the outside. A lot of TV show seasons have passed in the meantime, an entire war, the fall of the Republic, and the rise of the Empire, but there's only five years between Mace Windu chopping Jango's head off and season 3 of Bad Batch.
" Is this a straight up fight or another bug hunt? " ~Hudson 🤔 It is probably too early in the empire for the Inquisitor program to be functioning yet.
I am really surprise that the Crosshair open up to Omega so much. She even manage to get Crosshair to admit the down side of his own character like how he dislike everything except sniper stuff and Omega even manage to get Crosshair to do the meditate. Can't wait to see Crosshair back to his super accurate self or even better shot then before.
Now that I think about it, "Bad Territory" has a double meaning. Hunter and Wrecker's mission, most obviously, but it also relates to Crosshair's clear and present trauma that he's so unwilling to talk about.
@@vegvisir9276I mean it's not going to be some random civilian kaminoan....also now that I think about it....wasn't there only two kaminoans on Kamino? The Prime Minister and the scientist lady? Omega would know it was the scientist lady.
Ohhh... They didn't see the trailer... I was wondering how they forgot the bounty hunting associated character in the trailer that we haven't seen a hint of yet... Can't wait for Dengar to finally show up though!
i think what going on inside mount tantis have connection to palpatines clone in episode 9 but something happend to the mountain and that why we see the clone of palpatine like the stake he was in in episode 9 and i will not be surprised if omega is related to rey somehow
It's obvious what they're doing with cross hair. It's a situation that's real. It's a soldier who's suffering from the trauma of being held as a prisoner and being tortured for months. He was already a loner in a group of people who faced that with no one. As a former military guy who's been in the shi it's common for us to be given things to do like meditation and other mental things. Eric broached the subject but everyone just glossed over it. I love that Dave filoni brought a little bit of realism in this.
I watched the trailer so I know the answer, but l'm shocked Sugi, Dengar, and Rako Hardeen got no mentions during the speculation...at least Embo got some love
I am like 90% positive I know who the mystery person is and anyone who has seen the trailer knows who I’m talking about and the with things like bounty hunters and m count support this even more. I’m not going to say who I believe it to be so people who haven’t seen the trailer don’t get spoiled
That’s what I was thinking but his design and movement seems a bit exaggerated for a Yam’rii. I mean it’s a praying mantis so that’s probably what they were going for, but I’m sort of underwhelmed if that’s what they are. Or maybe I’m disappointed because I got too invested in a fan-fiction featuring them prominently and that is not what I imagined lol.
What’s with the m-count targets? I don’t think they’re after force sensitives, the Empire has lots of them. Not to mention Palpatine would probably have sparred some Jedi if he needed force sensitives for a project.
In the start of the season, it was worded as m-count REPLICATION, with Omega being the only one to have a perfect m-count replication. That will be needed for Palpatine to create clone bodies for himself, with the same m-count as himself.
A massive theme of the show is to draw attention to the empire’s hypocrisy and shortsightedness. Palpatine wiped out the Jedi, now he needs hosts with high Midichlorian counts. Palpatine wiped out the Kaminoans, now he needs whatever is remaining of them and their research to continue his cloning.
I am stunned no one took notice of the sole reason this episode exists : to showcase with the SYLAR bounty for the fist time in the history of Star Wars the Yam'rii species from the Mos Eisley's cantina in 1977's A New Hope with the character of "praying mantis" KITIK KEED' KAK !! It was so cool! You guys should really appreciate how much luxurious and hardcore the Bad Batch is for the fans. Such a treat ! What a fantastic episode !
I wonder if Omega's growth, in contrary to the rest of the clones, not only has not been accelerated but even decelerated? Because she's older than the Bad Batch, who seem to be older clones themselves (so assuming around 16 - 23) but she looks like 11 -12ish.
The series is set much earlier than you seem to think. It starts in 19 BBY, which is only 3 years after the start of the clone wars. We don't know exactly when she was made, but she seems a bit younger than Boba, probably, so 14 at the outside?
Im enjoying this season, but guys! I'm so stressed. I don't want our BB team to have a sad ending. I just about freaked ladt week when Crosshair almost git drowned. Ugh!!
I think if anything cross hair played a part in shadow force’s creation. Hence the clone saying what he did. But he definitely gave up on the empire the moment he shot the empire officer
Agreed. I'm hoping that it is someone else and that showing "that character" in the trailer was just to mislead us and that they actually show up later. Doubt it, but you never know.

Now that I think about it, "Bad Territory" has a double meaning. Hunter and Wrecker's mission, most obviously, but it also relates to Crosshair's clear and present trauma that he's so unwilling to talk about.
Strange that Hunter asked "By who" when Fennac says the bounty for Omega was called off...they just said earlier she was hired by the kaminoans.....

I have a really bad feeling that they're building up crosshair and omega's dynamic just to kill one of them off. Just like they did with tech.
They are not going to kill Omega man. That'd be a little too depressing for this show
I feel like Crosshair would actually be the one to live and the rest of the Bad Batch will get killed off.
The Bad Batch goes to Florida.

It would be nice to have clones suffer from PTSD I don't think they got into that aspect
Out of curiosity, can trauma actually cause physical things like Crosshairs hand?
Thank you, Eric! Thank you, Rick! Thank you, Calvin! Thank you, Aaron! ↔

Sylar is a Yam'rii or a Huk, the same species as the praying mantis looking patron from Chalmun's Cantina in A New Hope.

well some races have different subspecies, look at the Trandoshans, you get some tall skinny ones and some short fat ones@@Peoe500
Is it just me, or does Sarris look like the original vanDamme design for the Predator?
Prediction: Crosshair sacrifices himself to save the Batch by the end of the season.
I think it's Boba Fett... she and Boba are parters in his show; and we dont know how they met, or how long they've been aligned..
