Full Series Bad Batch - Unaired Echo arc (Official Thread)

Think of it like a Bomb people survive those.

 

I think they will definitely put this up on starwars.com. Websites need page views the same way shows need viewers. I have little doubt of that. They just want to release it at Celebration... because it's Celebration.

 

3 days

 

Yeah, but not when they are practically standing on top of the large explosion that occurs. If he did survive it by some small miracle, I imagine it would be like the Six Million Dollar man. "We have the technology. We can rebuild him."

 

Do you guys think this will be the arc that Rex gets injured in?

 

This I am guessing he is more machine then man

I mean if trench can survive so can echo.

 

Yes I am pretty sure this is the arc.

 

Can I be controversial and say I really didn't like the Clones in TCW and their own arcs?

*hides behind sofa*

 

No you can't

One of the arcs I wrote, one you'll sadly never see, featured Trench.

Brent Friedman posted that on Twitter almost two years ago. Maybe these episodes will explain how they both survived.

 

Aww he seems so sad about it. Trench was a great villain.

 

That was posted two years ago, so I think given the fact that several CW arcs have been adapted since I'd say situation has changed for the trench arc

 

starwars.com is live streaming Celebration and 30 hours of it could this mean Bad Batch will be online by this Celebration.

 

Awesome.

 

I like where you're going with this. They've slowly been developing Rex to open his eyes to the reality of the war. I think what he goes through in this arc would lead well in to having him reappear in Rebels having gone through a change in his thinking towards the galaxy as a whole. Hopefully we'll see him show up there.

Fort Anaxes... I always just thought they used it on Rebels because they had such a short timeline to develop that show so they needed to re-use assets that were originally intended for the unproduced episodes.

 

I've found this blog to be a helpful compilation https://fanofstarwars.wordpress.com/2014/10/28/star-wars-the-clone-wars-the-unfinished-stories/ The Private Ryan quote is not on the blog but it's out there on Twitter but a bit hard to find since it's old.

 

Remember we still have the Rex R2 arc with no info on that.

 

Thanks! Yeah, like I mentioned I get the feeling that the we are getting this is to lead into Rex appearing in Rebels and primarily to tie the two series together even further than it already is with the introduction of Ahsoka in the finale.

Yeah I know, I thought that too regarding Fort Anaxes. But with them releasing an arc that features Rex and also has the location as well, I really feel that they intend to revisit the location in season 2. I see it being as a start of a rebel staging area for them. Using it as a base or staging area in Rebels then would leave it open to interpretation as who held the bases prior to the rebels in the OT on Yavin IV and Hoth. Though I have always assumed that Echo Base/Hoth had always been a solely rebel creation after watching the PT and TCW as since Hoth at least IMO would hold no strategic importance. Then again Fort Anaxes doesn't hold any apparent strategic importance either.

 

He really should have had a few episodes before the first Chrysalsis (Sp?) episode.

 

jabberwalkie Isn't Fort Anaxes presented as an abandoned Clone Wars base in the Rebels episode? I got the impression the creatures completely overran the place and there was no longer any human life present there.

 

Correct, but they have also used the location as a dead drop. That is why a staging area would make more sense for the location as opposed to a base. Like a rally point to group at for missions with other rebels. The creatures obviously didn't like the sunlight or getting shocked by the hull of the ghost, so I would think if that they wanted they could probably come up with some way to repel the creatures. Or lock them up then pull a 3p0 deleted ESB scene and release them if the base is ever over run.

Maybe they can borrow Klingon pain sticks from star trek.

 

Thanks.

I notice that, in addition to lacking the Saving Private Ryan quote, there is some other information missing (there's no trace of the quotes about Rex sustaining injuries in the story, or the relationship between Rex and Echo serving as the emotional hook, for example).

But it's a good place to start and I appreciate the effort!

 

*groan* I thought those monsters at Fort Anaxes were kind of lame. Cute almost. If that what gets Rex I might throw something at the screen.

 

Spoiler

Rex survives this Arc

 

Yeah I know but still.

Spoiler

He's gonna get injuries of some kind.
