The Bad Batch The Bad Batch 2.07 - The Clone Conspiracy - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I can’t believe they finally introduced Plagueis and that his tomb was just randomly in a room at the end of a minor Bad Batch loot mission where they had to transport some fruit for an illegal produce dealer.

 

OMG I couldn't believe when

Spoiler

there was that agreement between two or more clones to commit an unlawful act, coupled with an intent to achieve the agreement's objective and action or conduct that furthered the agreement.

 

Hyped .

 

"These are the 2 best episodes of the season"

So it'll only be downhill from here on

 

The finale,

 

Ok the title definitely intrigues me, the point about social commentary does not.

 

Episode 3 and clone wars political Episodes were commentery

 

I chalk it up to hyperbole.

 

They are finally deciding to tell a story...for two episodes.

 

They hinted at the story in the premiere and started thr big story in episode 3, continnue it in these two episodes.

 

This episode was soo good. Glad to see senator Chuchi Ryio from Clone Wars with Bail Organa and the senator from Rogue One who questions Jyn Erso. Chuchi was the main character this episode. The talk about clone pension, see the Return of the senate chambers was nostalgic for me. Chuchi and Bail already working together and maybe more senators. The idea of turning clones bad and into true belivers. Good to see Rex again at the end. Also forgot to add we saw the return of the Clone bar. Mass Amedda was good.

 

Solid episodes. Glad to see Jennifer Hale as Chuchi back. Glad to see Mas Amedda. Where was he in Andor anyway? I expected him there. I guess not. Well, this episode delivered on Imperial politics more so than that entire series. Strong noir vibes with this entire episode. Reminded me a lot of Attack of the Clones. Coruscant looked gorgeous.

Spoiler

I expected the assassin to be Boba Fett.

 

I think the turned Clone comes from Mount Tantiss. Also Mon Mothma was in this.

 

For me it is so far the best episode of the series, great paranoid atmosphere like in Fives arc.
Mas Amedda looks so exhausted, no wonder though, he has to work with both Rampart and Krennic in this time period.

Agree. Also wonder if Crosshair's memories and skills were implemented into him (somewhat similar to Grodin Tierce's case in the EU) , and that is why he knew Rex.

 

Yep, right from the start, I'm like, this is Fives' arc all over again and I loved it! Finally back on point with this one.

 

I wasn’t expecting a Rogue One cameo (Senator Pamlo) that was neat. Voiced by her actor from rogue one as well

 

Hey was this the first episode without the batch in it at all?

 

Indeed. Not even Crosshair. The first episode without any Bad Batch whatsoever.

 

Star Wars has done social commentary from day one. Though it’s often presented as historical social commentary, and not necessarily super current. Except when it is.

 

Great intro for this 2 episode arc, very close for a adult SW cartoon show

 

I like Mas Amedda's new look.

Also Omega trying to meditate like Gungi was nice.

 

Now that’s what I’m talking about! 9/10, this show is at its best when it allows itself to be more mature like this. Much less formulaic than the majority of episodes to this point. Set up its plot very well, I was legitimately concerned for the senator’s safety. Hoping the Batch ditches the Cid heist of the week episodes and goes this direction more. This was excellent Star Wars

 

I find Cid and all things her related in this show really, really boring.
