Amazing episodes, this is some of the best Star Wars storytelling, these people need to work on the next star wars shows, both animation and live action.
Both episodes were fantastic. But episode 10 was as good as Stars Wars gets: really dark, absorbing, emotionally engaging and atmospheric, especially with the fantastic music: 11/10!
Notice Omega was scanned only briefly. A smart plan would be to plant two trackers on Omega in the same pocket and have her surrender one of them when caught. They didn’t think to scan her again for a second one. That could have been an offscreen backup plan besides the shot from Crosshair.
i'm not sure why but i had a really strong feeling that whatever she handed over to the trooper after being scanned was not the actual scanning device. and there was no secondary scan to confirm she didnt hand them a fake tracker?
I'm turn 50 this year and my Eyes were glued to the screen watching a cartoon LOL - this was TOP TIER stuff... edge of the damn couch --- I was actually scared Pabu was gonna get blown up!!
When Omega got captured and Crosshair missed the shot, I was probably looking like my daughter on the edge of her seat watching her favorite drama w tears welling up. Just a little bit. Men don't cry! Lol
Lol I turn 55 in August. I’ve been on this ride since 1979 when i went to see the first one. AND i love the prequels btw. Rebels & Bad Batch too. Clone Wars were ok.
I'm 58 and I love Star Wars Animation, especially the Bad Batch, the animation quality is fantastic, both these episodes were gut wrenching, I was so scared we lost Wrecker, I fear we will lose more of the batch. Seeing Techs broken goggles was tough too, he's a favourite of mine.
I really like how this season's episodes are getting darker. Clone X has been an extremely interesting villain, even more so because he is so skilled and efficient, killing an Imperial pilot to take Hunter out of action. I believe that Omega, in the end, may have unconsciously “called” someone through the Force to rescue her.
@@masegoflames3421 I wish that hadn’t been spoiled. I’m sure they’ll find Omega again. But I still fear for Wrecker. This season has yet to make me cry, but if he dies that might just do it.
I just watched the episodes. Omega did a Jedi proud. At the end of the last episode, while she was calming herself I think she unwittingly sent out an SOS to Ventress.
@CarlosHenriqueXavierEndo see I didn't really want to go there at first because I felt like it would ruin the impact. But I feel like if it were actually Cody which some people are putting out there, physically the Clone seems a lot thinner than that so now I am not sure.
I think she managed to hide the real comms and gave them some dummy comms. Otherwise echo will end up saving the day and figure out where omega is. She’s really becoming an incredible character for the future of SW!
The jedi did not kidnap children! There was one case in legends when they took a kid from a psychopath who was trying to create a new perfect jedi order! Other than that the families had the choice of turning over the children! It was only the empire who kidnapped children!
Jax is Mirialan, same species as Barriss Offee. He would have been trained from birth to use the force by his own people even without the Jedi. Jax is probably a lot more knowledgeable and skilled than Hemlock realizes.
As someone who didn't like the last two episodes, this week was killer! Im suspecting that Hunter and Badger found the ship, but we are left with an ending to think that Crosshair failed and that the situation is relatively hopeless. But badger was in the city when she was seperated and next seen in front of the cave where hunter comes aboard, i can see her taking hunter to the ship, just like she did in the last episode when Asajj chose the same landing spot.
I loved both episodes episode 10 it was interesting seeing Emerie question the Empire. The Empire taking young force sensitive was similar to the episode of the Clone Wars where Palpatine took young force sensitives to mustafar in the episode "Children of the force" finally An episode without any of the batch in Season 3 first one since The Outpost As for Episode 11 the occupation of Pabu was very hostile even worse than Desix which is also a remote Planet. I wish they didn't include the Marauder exploding in the trailer the Internet would've gone crazy if they left that as a surprise. That Crosshair missed shot what what all the hand shaking was building up to. It will be interesting to see if Pabu is on Scarif now & how the batch will locate Tantiss??

@@Matt-pn1ce Or both - along with the Batch. "The Cavalry Has Arrived". Seems like a great way to send it off... Omega goes underground and the batch takes the other clones to safety. @starwarsmeg - eh? perhaps...
Hi Meg, excellent recap. I like how you were also moved by the music, like I was. It is so dark and mysterious, even the low tones of the beeps and blurbs by droids was nefarious (like the kill drone robots sent by the Tet in the Tom Cruise movie Oblivion) . I also like how you actually were able to find praise for "Disney Star Wars", for a brief hour today I was also able to break the grip of all the negative cogitations that come with Disney Star Wars today (the Acolyte fallout etc). Kudos to you to see the trees through the forest. I felt the same way.
I think the assassin is actually the real Crosshair and the Crosshair we see with the bad batch is actually a clone which is why his hand is shaking, a defect of the cloning. When the assassin is talking he sounds like Crosshair
I think Omega contacted Asajj through the force. Asajj cutting through Tantiss with Quinlan and the Batch to save a bunch of force sensitive kids sounds like the setup for a Hidden Path show.
My heart ached so much for the children and Emerie ... Pabu, Omega, Crosshair ... ok, my heart ached for much longer than the 49 minute combined run time. The musical score amplified the somber attitude throughout both shows. Once again, the detail in the animation is incredible. Do we know Gonky's fate? I don't remember seeing him after the blast.
Since Crosshair missed with the tracker, they'll have to find Tantiss another way. If they get Ventress to capture Cad Bane, she can bring in Quinlan and they can break into his mind together like the Jedi did when CB was capturing Force-sensitive kids the first time. But they might not want to reuse that plot. In any case, if the "Path" is in place by now, it would be a good time to bring it in since Tantiss has Force-sensitive kids. Maybe Emerie will reach out somehow.
@@PlesherFN Yeah, that's true. If she has any Force capabilities at all (and Ventress and Gungi showed her what Force-sensitives can do), she can probably do that, and Ventress should be able to find her like Luke found Grogu.
I have to say you are completely wrong comparing the Empire to the Jedi saying they kidnap children. Parents willingly gave their children to the Jedi order. It was considered a great honour for most species to have thier child help the Jedi order keep peace in the galaxy.
I agree on Hemlock dying. Omega either sacrificing herself to destroy Hemlock's project or her escaping Tantiss again or those younglings escaping or a clone prison uprising happening will spell the Empire offing Hemlock
I have a feeling the finale will be the setup / backdoor pilot for a Hidden Path show. Asajj and Quinlan save the force sensitive kids and take them into hiding.
This was dark . Possibly darker than Andor. In fact so dark , using kids , its very very dark. Being used as 'specimens' .. an these shows were were rated 6+?? So dark. Awesome 😮😂
Okay, that Scorch become new low after he stun young alien, I glad Emerie will protect them, Emerie really care about these kids like Cody and Cut Lawquane did, It was heartbreaking to see bad batch's ship have been explosion, but I hope Wrecker is Okay, I hope Cody and Crys is on their way to Pabu in next episode next week, Crys was great medic making Clones fully recover, I sure he will help Wrecker no matter what, Cody's mission will stop The Empire in Pabu.
Holy crap-tastic!!! Writing this before watching your take, but just putting this out there. IMHO, best two episodes of the series to date!!! I was on the edge of my bed (don't ask) the entirety of ep 11. Most kick-ass soundtrack of any episode. Okay, pressing play on your review.
Great episodes, great breakdown. And happy early birthday, Star Wars Meg! Hope you have a fun birthday, surrounded by loving, uplifting friends and family.
Meg, you're a very insightful creator and help to build and sustain the Star Wars community that we want! I hope you have a wonderful juggernaut of a birthday celebration. 🎉
With episode 10 The Bad Batch connected itself to Rebels big time. We now know why and where Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were taking the two force sensitive younglings if they were not stopped by the Ghost crew and Ahsoka.
I love the video. But it seems you forgot about the possible return of Tech. There was a scene in episode 11, when Omega had dropped off a doll and Tech's goggles. The fact we haven't seen the sleath clone never take off his mask leaves so many possibilities to the possible return of Tech.
first of all i think omega handed them a decoy tracker and has the actual tracker in her hat. for backup, i think she is reaching out with the force (grogu/luke ahsoka/sabine ezra/purgil etc.) i also am thinking about how fennec knew ventress wouldn't even need coordinates to find omega - and then its shown that ventress did in fact find the island. so if omega really did lose her tracker, maybe she's trying to use herself to act as a tracker and reaching out so that ?ventress? can locate her again, or atleast letting hunter/rex/etc. know where she's at but odds are she'll partake in the rescue. also.... is clone X NOT an evil clone of crosshair? like i feel like that was the experiment. and they made like an army of crosshair assasin clones since they have the same voice, are snipers, and are all skinny like did i miss this speculation being shot down? and once one dies the other ones are like in incubation tanks being activated lol. idk!!!! ahhh this is seriously SO good. prime star wars i am livviinngggg
I still think that the sigh Omega gave at the end of Ep. 11 was relief. She had a second undetected tracker. This is pretty obvious that the season heads towards a Mount Tantiss showdown and how would the Batch locate it within an episode or two if not thanks to the Omega's action?
Man these episodes were so dark. The children being experimented on and the alien baby in the pod gave me very strong Grogu in s1 vibes. I bet it was Cad Bane who captured him like you said. I’m really starting to feel for Emmerie and what she’s been through. I feel like deep down she has a good heart and is goinv to be crucial to helping Omega escape and keeping her from incurring too much harm until the batch and possibly others can break her out. I had a feeling she’d get captured but I wasn’t expecting her to sacrifice herself. And my heart sank when Crosshair missed his shot. Hunter’s going to be so mad when he finds out about this. And I fear fot Wrecker even if he’s fine now. I wonder if it’ll be Emmerie who dies to save Omega? I also definitely think Hemlock will die by the end of this season. I wonser if Omega was trying to tap into the force at the end? Maybe reach out to Ventress? Also F in the chat for the Havoc Marauder. Also Omega’s sacrifice was incredibly noble. I respect her so much for that.
HELLO Star War Meg: Well .... I never like to say 'I told you so' but I did. I knew that Omega would come to realize that the only way for her brothers to find Mt. Tantiss, was for her to let herself be captured again. In this plan, Crosshair knew that the CTs would search Omega and find her commlink. But I suspect that she had another long range comm hidden in her cap. Crosshair knew once the find her comm, they would stop looking for any others. But with their ship gone, the Bad Batch need to contact Rex and/or Phee to come get them and track Omega. In 'Identity Crisis's,I can tell that Emory is new becoming concerned. It's one thing to be experimenting of adult clones. But experimenting with the bodies of children, who know nothing of what the are, why they were taken, and one want to return to their families, Emory is now seeing the darkness and levels of cruelty, Dr Hemlock is prepared to go to achieve recognition for himself. Soon Emory will have to choose between saving Omega and the younglings, and her dedication to Dr. Hemlock. Either choice could cost Emory her life.
Really liked episode 10 and Emerie's inclusion on project necromance and the children being used as M count fodder. Was interesting how Emerie is seeing her life in new eyes. I liked Tarkin calling him out about the budget for this project. This was a really dark episode. Episode 11 was great I was sad the Empire was destroying Pabu, was not surprised Omega surrendered to the Empire to save the people of Pabu.
I'd have to disagree with you on one thing. We are not seeing the Empire at its true evilness. If we were, we would have seen the actual shooting of Jax while trying to escape. They simply did not show the shooting, just the firing and then Jax falling to the floor. Presumably, he was stunned. Edit: And by the way, I needed to force myself to re-watch the first doubleheader rather than immediately starting the second episode because I lost so much from having to wipe the tears from my eyes. No, it wasn't allergies, unless allergies are some new young people's description of excellent writing and storytelling.
Necromancer has to be severely curtailed by the end of this series. The Rebels, though, will only be loosely associated with the Path. The Path will be about keeping the children of the Force from the Empire, and while the Rebellion will have an association with the Path, I think that they will have issues with each other, especially once the Rebellion goes to actual war.
I think Emrie will have a redemption, but it might come at great cost. I’ve got a feeling she might sacrifice herself somehow while aiding Omega - & maybe the other younglings - in the escape. Is it me or is that Assassin sounding a lot like Crosshair’s voice? Maybe he’s a clone of Crosshair. Banging episodes, both of them in different ways.
My guess is that Omega and Emerie will somehow enable the escape of the Force-sensitive imprisoned children. I will be curious to see how/if the Batch actually make it to Tantiss and what will happen there as a result of that. Thanks for this video.
I know ppl think Omega's gonna make it, but I don't think she will. We don't see her in any of the live action shows, which means she's most likely going to die. She was good friends with a young Hera Syndulla and I know adult Hera would've mentioned her in 'Ahsoka' but she didn't. And we know Grogu was captured by a bounty hunter like Cad Bane in 'The Mandalorian' but he was rescued. I don't think Omega's gonna be so lucky. Knowing her, she'd rather die than see her friends and family suffer.
Hemlock's going to inject Omega with mitichlorians upon her next visit to Tantiss. Omega's calling Ventress when she meditates at the end. It's gonna be a wild finish to the season. Curious as to how the incorporate Omega in the Star Wars universe going forward...
I loved clone wars and rebels, and i'm really loving bad batch! It's really bad the animated shows are better than live action! The only good things about ahsoka was balan skoll and anakin! I was so looking forward to that show! They really should stick to shows they are good at!
I'm curious as to what happened to scorch's original squad mates especially after their one appearance in the star wars the clone wars series and after their main debut in the video game star wars republic commando. And I have been enjoying the show so far; I'm excited to see what Lucasfilms has instored for us next.
From my understanding, Omega doesn't have a high M-count, she has blood compatible with blood (Jedi) that has high M-count. She can't use the force. I think she's just meditating.
Yo Meg hope you're doing good today, there's something that's been kind of bugging me about project necromancer, at this time I don't think palpatine is trying to clone a body for himself because to me if he wants to change his body his appearance no one would believe he has the emperor and they would question how did he do this how did he make himself well and young again, so at this point I think he's trying to clone Anakin Skywalker this is why he needs a hi M count blood sample that won't deteriorate, at this time I think he wants to clone Anakin and teach him how to transfer his essence into a healthy body because after Obi-Wan defeated Anakin he lost a lot of his power remember he told Yoda that Lord Vader would become more powerful than either of them, so I think project necromancer is trying to clone Anakin not himself not at this time if he did no one would know him , or believe he was the emperor, this is why he turned Anakin to the dark side so he would be the strongest sith ever, after all he was the chosen one, but anyway that's my thoughts have a great day!!
OMG!! Ep 10 = Dr hemlock says “ there aren’t many force sensitive adults left!”🤦♂️🤦♂️! the empire will never learn as they WIPED them out during order 66👈👈!! The Force sensitive Children😭😭!! it shows how dark/evil the empire is back then!! Emiere will be his downfall! + omega😭😭😭!! so like a Jedi thinking of keeping others safe + handing herself over to stop the suffering! ( Luke vibes) the meditation😊!! Grogu vibes😁😁!! the bad batch ship blown up!! ( Mando connection's) + Cad bane the badass bounty Hunter doing evil work with Grogu call backs😁😁!! now it’s looking so serious!: Roll on next week😎!!! I🤔if there will be a Jedi appearance to help save omega🤔! 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Maybe Emerie sees this slightly differently because as clones, they don’t have parents they are being taken from. She has been taught to think of herself & the other clones as property (rather than as people)
Hi Meg, awesome news update, I am 62 and finding the Star Wars cartoons awesome much better than the live action, there is gonna be changes on tentis I think the clone in charge is gonna help Omega and the children escape, great to Cad Bane again, but number 10 was a sad episode and 11 aswell but Omega saved alot of people I hope, and crosshair missed the ship with his shot let's hope they can still find her, i think the episodes were 10 out of 10 to, thank you SWM
I really enjoyed both episodes, but liked the second one even. I really liked seeing Emery again and to see her realize what she had been doing is !!cruel
Even if episode 10 wasn't as Bad Batch-centric as the others, I thought it was excellent. Emery does deserve a redemption. I don't know what that one negative viewer was talking about after seeing episodes 10-15. These two were also great.
I loved the little orange female kid. She isn't a bull??....if you were to turn her horns,up,she could Bulldoze Everyone Down & Escape!!! / The Bad Batch was not in episode 10. I know,you said,it was all about Dr. Kar. But still.. / Dr. Hemlock spoke about,what the M-count was. I forgot. Can you tell me??
I wonder if omega was trying to contact. Asian Ventress knowing she uses the force like a Jedi? There is so much she does not know. I keep questioning who the Dark Trooper is?🤔 Who is he? Thanks Meg 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This was the best of Dave and Disney the best of the best of all Star Wars after Lucas this is massive, but this season is way too short I want more please we need all to write for a petition for the show to go on :D
So many talking and yet few action. Yet I been questioning about this season. If look at previous season of Bad Batch plus their introduction at Clone War Season 7 episode 1,2 and 3. More action , more quest and more death with less Omega involved. Bad Batch could be a best season without Omega involvement. I doubt she a clone template of Jango Fett unless she were other M-count template of force sensitive. If look at Jango Fett himself, just a chosen bounty hunter to template of clone production. So Omega is based on whose original M-Count Template??? Maybe perhaps, Palpatine@Sidious lover whom also a force sensitive?
What did YOU think of this week's Bad Batch double feature? 👇
Some of my favorite moments in them, they were awesome!
Amazing episodes, this is some of the best Star Wars storytelling, these people need to work on the next star wars shows, both animation and live action.
10/10

Remember, Omega does not know that Crosshair missed the shot, so she has no reason to try to escape before getting to Tantiss.
That's the saddest part of the episode.

Yes, they *adopted* children, they did not kidnap.
Generally, kids that were unwanted or orphans.
@@iloveowls90 Exactly. They adopted, they did not kidnap. Like a Buddhist monastery.
Thank you! In most cases they thiught it was an honor to have the children adopted into the jedi order!
I was devastated when the Marauder blew up! It was just like when Din's Razorcrest blew up!😭
I like how pissed Tarkin sounds every time you see him
He's pissed about being in the dark about this. In his mind, the death star is the emperor's most important project and priority
Jax is Mirialan, same species as Barriss Offee. He would have been trained from birth to use the force by his own people even without the Jedi. Jax is probably a lot more knowledgeable and skilled than Hemlock realizes.

Is it me or did Omega exemplify a Jedi trait being sacrificing her freedom for the greater good?
And took her brother Tech's example
What would happen to Hemlock during the rebelling gets empire would you stay loyal to the Empire or defect to the rebels?
No, she’s just too dumb and emotional to do the right thing.
@@mcrobielord1503if hemlock survives this season then I feel like he would definitely still be with the empire even after their fall.

I predict that Wrecker, Crosshair, and Hunter will not be the ones to rescue Omega; it will be Asajj Ventress.

Hi Meg, excellent recap. I like how you were also moved by the music, like I was. It is so dark and mysterious, even the low tones of the beeps and blurbs by droids was nefarious (like the kill drone robots sent by the Tet in the Tom Cruise movie Oblivion) .

Two of the best animated episodes to ever come out of Lucasfilm. These were absolutely brilliant.

It's a measure of how invested I am in these characters that I'm incredibly unsettled by these two episodes. This is great story telling!
I think Omega contacted Asajj through the force. Asajj cutting through Tantiss with Quinlan and the Batch to save a bunch of force sensitive kids sounds like the setup for a Hidden Path show.
The episodes were good, but not long enough. Thank you for your excellent reporting.
My heart ached so much for the children and Emerie ... Pabu, Omega, Crosshair ... ok, my heart ached for much longer than the 49 minute combined run time. The musical score amplified the somber attitude throughout both shows. Once again, the detail in the animation is incredible.

@@jiffypoo5029no shot that happens.
OMG episode 10 was so heart breaking.... This show is pulling on all my heart strings....
Same - it brought me to tears. Nor have I felt so much dread with Cad Bane (or any bounty hunter) before.
I have to say you are completely wrong comparing the Empire to the Jedi saying they kidnap children. Parents willingly gave their children to the Jedi order. It was considered a great honour for most species to have thier child help the Jedi order keep peace in the galaxy.
That or like Dooku's parents they feared the force and thus the child
I agree on Hemlock dying. Omega either sacrificing herself to destroy Hemlock's project or her escaping Tantiss again or those younglings escaping or a clone prison uprising happening will spell the Empire offing Hemlock
Episode 10 was heartbreaking. I think as a mom it makes me extra sad. I cannot wait to see where this ends up. But i cant imagine it's happy. 😢
I have a feeling the finale will be the setup / backdoor pilot for a Hidden Path show. Asajj and Quinlan save the force sensitive kids and take them into hiding.
I know.
I agree with you. The episodes were amazing, very touching, especially because of the Force sensitivity kids.

Great episodes, great breakdown. And happy early birthday, Star Wars Meg! Hope you have a fun birthday, surrounded by loving, uplifting friends and family.
I hope the batch goes to Tantis and burn that shit to ash. Get the whole gang for one big mission. Rex, echo, the 3 boys, Gunji, Ventress.
I’m sad about the Marauder got destroyed and Pabu getting invaded😢
i can't believe he didn't get the tracker on the ship before they took off with Omega! WTF now ?🎉 good work Meg, as per usual🎉
Meg, you're a very insightful creator and help to build and sustain the Star Wars community that we want!
I hope you have a wonderful juggernaut of a birthday celebration. 🎉
With episode 10 The Bad Batch connected itself to Rebels big time. We now know why and where Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were taking the two force sensitive younglings if they were not stopped by the Ghost crew and Ahsoka.
Clearly this is where her Jedi training begins. The deep breath, the fact the boys are left behind. Omega is going to go super saiyan.
Thanks Meg! 🙏🏼
I love the video. But it seems you forgot about the possible return of Tech. There was a scene in episode 11, when Omega had dropped off a doll and Tech's goggles. The fact we haven't seen the sleath clone never take off his mask leaves so many possibilities to the possible return of Tech.
first of all i think omega handed them a decoy tracker and has the actual tracker in her hat. for backup, i think she is reaching out with the force (grogu/luke ahsoka/sabine ezra/purgil etc.)
i also am thinking about how fennec knew ventress wouldn't even need coordinates to find omega - and then its shown that ventress did in fact find the island. so if omega really did lose her tracker, maybe she's trying to use herself to act as a tracker and reaching out so that ?ventress? can locate her again, or atleast letting hunter/rex/etc. know where she's at but odds are she'll partake in the rescue.
also.... is clone X NOT an evil clone of crosshair? like i feel like that was the experiment. and they made like an army of crosshair assasin clones since they have the same voice, are snipers, and are all skinny like did i miss this speculation being shot down? and once one dies the other ones are like in incubation tanks being activated lol. idk!!!! ahhh this is seriously SO good. prime star wars i am livviinngggg
I still think that the sigh Omega gave at the end of Ep. 11 was relief. She had a second undetected tracker. This is pretty obvious that the season heads towards a Mount Tantiss showdown and how would the Batch locate it within an episode or two if not thanks to the Omega's action?
Both episodes were fantastic
Man these episodes were so dark. The children being experimented on and the alien baby in the pod gave me very strong Grogu in s1 vibes. I bet it was Cad Bane who captured him like you said. I’m really starting to feel for Emmerie and what she’s been through. I feel like deep down she has a good heart and is goinv to be crucial to helping Omega escape and keeping her from incurring too much harm until the batch and possibly others can break her out. I had a feeling she’d get captured but I wasn’t expecting her to sacrifice herself. And my heart sank when Crosshair missed his shot. Hunter’s going to be so mad when he finds out about this. And I fear fot Wrecker even if he’s fine now. I wonder if it’ll be Emmerie who dies to save Omega? I also definitely think Hemlock will die by the end of this season. I wonser if Omega was trying to tap into the force at the end? Maybe reach out to Ventress? Also F in the chat for the Havoc Marauder. Also Omega’s sacrifice was incredibly noble. I respect her so much for that.
HELLO Star War Meg:
Well .... I never like to say 'I told you so' but I did. I knew that Omega would come to realize that the only way for her brothers to find Mt. Tantiss, was for her to let herself be captured again.
In this plan, Crosshair knew that the CTs would search Omega and find her commlink. But I suspect that she had another long range comm hidden in her cap. Crosshair knew once the find her comm, they would stop looking for any others.
But with their ship gone, the Bad Batch need to contact Rex and/or Phee to come get them and track Omega.
In 'Identity Crisis's,I can tell that Emory is new becoming concerned. It's one thing to be experimenting of adult clones. But experimenting with the bodies of children, who know nothing of what the are, why they were taken, and one want to return to their families, Emory is now seeing the darkness and levels of cruelty, Dr Hemlock is prepared to go to achieve recognition for himself.
Soon Emory will have to choose between saving Omega and the younglings, and her dedication to Dr. Hemlock. Either choice could cost Emory her life.
Emerie.
Really liked episode 10 and Emerie's inclusion on project necromance and the children being used as M count fodder. Was interesting how Emerie is seeing her life in new eyes. I liked Tarkin calling him out about the budget for this project. This was a really dark episode. Episode 11 was great I was sad the Empire was destroying Pabu, was not surprised Omega surrendered to the Empire to save the people of Pabu.
Tarkin might know about necromancer and is just testing Hemlock to see if he would break protocol and reveal what it was.
I guess I was wrong when I said that Cad Bane wouldn't work for the Empire. He was just being a hypocrite in Book of Boba Fett.
So Tarkin is involved in Galactic bookkeeping🤔 I have to admit that was a twist I never saw coming.
Happy Birthday Meg 🎉🎂🙏
Anyone notice that CX-02's Voice was a mixture of Crosshair's voice when he's angry, and sounded like a normal clone when he's talking normal.
Honestly I heard a bit of Tech in his voice...
Maybe both?! It fits with my theory that he's a mixture of all of them.@@ashleighelizabeth5916
I am just waiting for Omega to look up at Hemlock and say "everything has consiquenses" HAHA
I’m a little torn about the operative being Tech. His speech is very similar to that of Tech and Crosshair
The dark assassin trooper sounds just like crosshair...i think he's a clone of him. Great two episodes!
I'd have to disagree with you on one thing. We are not seeing the Empire at its true evilness. If we were, we would have seen the actual shooting of Jax while trying to escape. They simply did not show the shooting, just the firing and then Jax falling to the floor. Presumably, he was stunned. Edit: And by the way, I needed to force myself to re-watch the first doubleheader rather than immediately starting the second episode because I lost so much from having to wipe the tears from my eyes. No, it wasn't allergies, unless allergies are some new young people's description of excellent writing and storytelling.
Happy Early birthday Meg
Necromancer has to be severely curtailed by the end of this series. The Rebels, though, will only be loosely associated with the Path. The Path will be about keeping the children of the Force from the Empire, and while the Rebellion will have an association with the Path, I think that they will have issues with each other, especially once the Rebellion goes to actual war.
I think Emrie will have a redemption, but it might come at great cost. I’ve got a feeling she might sacrifice herself somehow while aiding Omega - & maybe the other younglings - in the escape.
Is it me or is that Assassin sounding a lot like Crosshair’s voice? Maybe he’s a clone of Crosshair.
Banging episodes, both of them in different ways.
Meg, awesome episodes 😮
Utidiiiiiii 🎉❤😢. I forgot we had a double header. That was a juicy hour of goodness
My guess is that Omega and Emerie will somehow enable the escape of the Force-sensitive imprisoned children. I will be curious to see how/if the Batch actually make it to Tantiss and what will happen there as a result of that. Thanks for this video.
I know ppl think Omega's gonna make it, but I don't think she will. We don't see her in any of the live action shows, which means she's most likely going to die.
She was good friends with a young Hera Syndulla and I know adult Hera would've mentioned her in 'Ahsoka' but she didn't. And we know Grogu was captured by a bounty hunter like Cad Bane in 'The Mandalorian' but he was rescued.
I don't think Omega's gonna be so lucky. Knowing her, she'd rather die than see her friends and family suffer.
Hemlock's going to inject Omega with mitichlorians upon her next visit to Tantiss. Omega's calling Ventress when she meditates at the end. It's gonna be a wild finish to the season. Curious as to how the incorporate Omega in the Star Wars universe going forward...
I loved clone wars and rebels, and i'm really loving bad batch! It's really bad the animated shows are better than live action! The only good things about ahsoka was balan skoll and anakin! I was so looking forward to that show! They really should stick to shows they are good at!
I'm curious as to what happened to scorch's original squad mates especially after their one appearance in the star wars the clone wars series and after their main debut in the video game star wars republic commando. And I have been enjoying the show so far; I'm excited to see what Lucasfilms has instored for us next.
From my understanding, Omega doesn't have a high M-count, she has blood compatible with blood (Jedi) that has high M-count. She can't use the force. I think she's just meditating.
Yo Meg hope you're doing good today, there's something that's been kind of bugging me about project necromancer, at this time I don't think palpatine is trying to clone a body for himself because to me if he wants to change his body his appearance no one would believe he has the emperor and they would question how did he do this how did he make himself well and young again, so at this point I think he's trying to clone Anakin Skywalker this is why he needs a hi M count blood sample that won't deteriorate, at this time I think he wants to clone Anakin and teach him how to transfer his essence into a healthy body because after Obi-Wan defeated Anakin he lost a lot of his power remember he told Yoda that Lord Vader would become more powerful than either of them, so I think project necromancer is trying to clone Anakin not himself not at this time if he did no one would know him , or believe he was the emperor, this is why he turned Anakin to the dark side so he would be the strongest sith ever, after all he was the chosen one, but anyway that's my thoughts have a great day!!
OMG!! Ep 10 = Dr hemlock says “ there aren’t many force sensitive adults left!”🤦♂️🤦♂️! the empire will never learn as they WIPED them out during order 66👈👈!! The Force sensitive Children😭😭!! it shows how dark/evil the empire is back then!! Emiere will be his downfall! + omega😭😭😭!! so like a Jedi thinking of keeping others safe + handing herself over to stop the suffering! ( Luke vibes) the meditation😊!! Grogu vibes😁😁!! the bad batch ship blown up!! ( Mando connection's) + Cad bane the badass bounty Hunter doing evil work with Grogu call backs😁😁!! now it’s looking so serious!: Roll on next week😎!!! I🤔if there will be a Jedi appearance to help save omega🤔! 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Omegas blood is a binder. Zero force sensitivity
FYI, the Jedi did not kidnap children.
"theire just children"-Emerie
Yeah so is omega but you didn't have a problem with that time for you to wake up
Maybe Emerie sees this slightly differently because as clones, they don’t have parents they are being taken from. She has been taught to think of herself & the other clones as property (rather than as people)
Absolutely stunning and yet, horrifying!
Hi Meg, awesome news update, I am 62 and finding the Star Wars cartoons awesome much better than the live action, there is gonna be changes on tentis I think the clone in charge is gonna help Omega and the children escape, great to Cad Bane again, but number 10 was a sad episode and 11 aswell but Omega saved alot of people I hope, and crosshair missed the ship with his shot let's hope they can still find her, i think the episodes were 10 out of 10 to, thank you SWM
Yah this episode gave big Grogu and Moff Gideon vibes. Wonder if we will see him going forward?
Its possible that Hemlock has done something to the commandos to make them loyal like the operatives
the mind control is precursor to the project Dark Trooper pilot subjects, and they all die. So Moff Gideon makes them all 100% robots.
@@lcheaton1130 true could also be leading to the death troopers project
Episode 10 is one of the best in all of the SW toons
Thanks Meg! Target Aquired, Returning To Base
The Marauder's explosion was similar to the Mandalorian's ship being destroyed.... 😏
being a scientist for the empire is a lot of fun , great ep 8/10 , 8.5/10
imho best episodes so far... DAMN they went HARD
Emory will help Omega escape but I think the Batch will die attempting a rescue. Omega will be free but alone.
I really enjoyed both episodes, but liked the second one even. I really liked seeing Emery again and to see her realize what she had been doing is !!cruel
Even if episode 10 wasn't as Bad Batch-centric as the others, I thought it was excellent. Emery does deserve a redemption. I don't know what that one negative viewer was talking about after seeing episodes 10-15. These two were also great.
I loved the little orange female kid. She isn't a bull??....if you were to turn her horns,up,she could Bulldoze Everyone Down & Escape!!! / The Bad Batch was not in episode 10. I know,you said,it was all about Dr. Kar. But still.. / Dr. Hemlock spoke about,what the M-count was. I forgot. Can you tell me??
Not ready for this to end. Ugh.
I wonder if omega was trying to contact.
Asian Ventress knowing she uses the force
like a Jedi? There is so much she does not
know. I keep questioning who the
Dark Trooper is?🤔 Who is he?
Thanks Meg 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well the assassin can't be tech because he had to figure out where Pablo was. So it is either a clone of cross hair or cody
I didn't see either episode yet nothing can spoil that for me
This was the best of Dave and Disney the best of the best of all Star Wars after Lucas this is massive, but this season is way too short I want more please we need all to write for a petition for the show to go on :D
This was a devastating set of episodes. So ugly. And you could really see Crosshair's attachment to Omega.
I reckon Omega has got another tracker.
WAIT! THOSE ARE THE GUYS FROM REPUBLIC COMMANDO? I thought it was different clones just wearing that style armor 😢
So many talking and yet few action. Yet I been questioning about this season. If look at previous season of Bad Batch plus their introduction at Clone War Season 7 episode 1,2 and 3. More action , more quest and more death with less Omega involved. Bad Batch could be a best season without Omega involvement. I doubt she a clone template of Jango Fett unless she were other M-count template of force sensitive. If look at Jango Fett himself, just a chosen bounty hunter to template of clone production.
So Omega is based on whose original M-Count Template??? Maybe perhaps, Palpatine@Sidious lover whom also a force sensitive?
Omega did exemplify Jedi and i think Hunter is on the ship
