Full Series The Bad Batch 3.04 - A Different Approach - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

Also straight up crosshair and Omega may be my favorite Duo in all of Star Wars.

 

I’m sorry but how old is Omega?

The series starts in 19 BBY, and Tech identified her as a prepubescent human female. She looks and sounds like a little girl and she was probably cloned a few years after Boba since he is Alpha and she is Omega. My guess is that she was 10 and Boba was 13. Season 2 probably takes place a year later. 11. Then she was trapped as a prisoner on Mt. Tantiss for 125 days which is more than half a year. So she is roughly almost 12. Her hair grows during her time there but she hasn’t started puberty yet and still looks like a little kid.
So my guess is that she is 11 3/4 years old and has not started her adolescent stage yet.

 

I agree. Almost as bad as the Grogu-Din reunion. And similarly premature.

 

Really good episode, maybe great. Is that Ryloth in the background at the end!? It looks very similar to the scene in Devil's Deal. I'll be very bummed if that is Ryloth and there's no Syndulla family appearance (since the Batch can't just stick around in the neighborhood of where they're leaving the freighter).

 

It’s the new Dustin and Steve!

 

Why does every inhabited planet in Star Wars Canon have the same dingy peasant towns with street food vendors?

 

That kid was selling meiloruun fruits, right?

 

After this episode we can say for certain that Obi-Wan and Luke swindled poor Han Solo and Chewbacca with their meager fee of 17 000 credits.

 

What a good question. And I find it a little confusing. Omega states she watched all the Batch grow in Nala Se's lab. She doesn't rapidly age like the clones. Was Omega cloned first? The length of the Clone Wars + set up time for the rest of the clones.

 

A pretty good episode. I gave it an 8/10.

Follows immediately where last week left off with Omega and Crosshair on the run. They crash land on some obscure planet, and while she wants to go back and rescue the prisoners (including Nala Se, who she may or may not even know is in a cell), Crosshair obviously wants to go as far away as possible. And speaking of Nala Se, it was curious that Hemlock believed her "False positives" explanation regarding Omega's M-Count test so quickly. It had to be even a little strange that someone else who tested the blood finally got the positive.

Was I the only one who could vaguely get Ventress' voice from that ticket taker (who wanted the bribe)? Maybe I'm being delusional.

The ending was poignant. You almost get the feeling that Wrecker and Hunter's trust with Crosshair would be similar to Kanan's reaction to the Rex and the Clones initially after Order 66.

 

Yeah it’s super confusing. But then again most of the time characters don’t tell you how old they are (except Yoda). Reference sources usually fill that stuff in.
So Omega could be 14 for all we know and the crisp clean air (free of pollution) of Kamino didn’t wreck her health and she develops like a girl in the olden times

 

I'm still fuzzy on the timeline of the Batch being made.

 

So those were Jurassic Park references, weren’t they? The guys with the electro-staffs shocking the creature in the big crate and then the Imperial officer getting pulled inside. And then some of the alien fauna look like stampeding Gallimimus.

 

Twas an OK episode.

 

The Episode Guide, Trivia Guides and Databank entries for each episode are now going up the day after, right?

I really want to know that name of that long legged dinosaur-like creature.

 

She was born at the same time as the first batch of clones, 32 years before A New Hope, so she's ~13/14 currently

S1 of Bad Batch is set 19BBY
S2/3 is set 18BBY

 

My ranking is 7/10. Pretty good episode. We see The relationship between Omega and Crosshair grow. And she will be one who mends the broken bond between Crosshair and Hunter and Wrecker.

 

IMO Crosshair has always been the best of the crew, so to bring him back in to the fold with the remaining team is a must, especially now they are reduced in numbers. It also adds some emotional weight to the story now as well, can't wait for next week.

 

Enjoyed this ep. I liked the odd-couple pairing of Omega and Crosshair and their growing camaraderie. Captain Mann was a great one-off bad guy character with his extortion and eventual turning in of Omega and Crosshair, as well as receiving his proper comeuppance. The reunion at the end was heartfelt, then tense, then ended on a emotional cliffhanger. Looking forward to next week's episode. 6/10

 

New EP guide each Thursday at 9AM PT.

Their name is Void Strider and they live on the planet Abafar.

 

so - what about the accelerated growth issue? Did she not have that?

 

Omega doesn't look 13/14 tbh. She's VERY short, Wookieepedia states that her height is 1.29 meters and she just overall doesn't look like a teenager, but rather a child. She looks more like she's 10 or something. They should have really made her look a bit older if she is really 13/14, or they should clarify the timeline somewhere officially. Wookieepedia doesn't have her date of birth.
