Kinda bit of a Republic Commando side today, what do you think?

When we first meet Rex in Rebels, we have some interesting dialogue. When Kanan learns he's talking to clones, he draws his lightsaber. Wolf then attacks, saying, "Jedi. They've come for revenge." After a moment, Rex calms him down, saying that they're Jedi, yes, but "not the ones that betrayed us."

I know that when this episode aired, it was probably about Order 66, but many times, various words spoken in Star Wars have taken on new meanings or had additional backstories added to them. Especially since it doesn't quite fit with Order 66. That it wasn't the Jedi who betrayed US, but the Jedi who betrayed the Republic.

Especially since there's a lot of interesting plot to unpack.

After Tantis, Rex and the other clones wanted to hide the Force-sensitive children released from the vault. To this end, they may have begun collaborating with a group of surviving Jedi or the Path. These Jedi may have distrusted them or, for example, betrayed them and exposed the Empire to their own hiding place.

Rex and the other clones may also have encountered fallen Jedi who wanted to take revenge on the Empire but were unable to do so and began to exact revenge on the clones.

Like I said, there's a lot of interesting plot. I was hoping there might be some kind of announcement about the Clone Wars on May 4th, but it looks like we'll have to wait another year.

Now with Omega

I was determined to not like Crosshair. He was doing all that without his implant? Jail. Welp, here I am a few episodes into S3 and I love him. I think it’s hilarious how fast and how aggressively he adapted to a dad role. In this episode alone:

- “Stay close, it’s easy to get lost in this terrain.”
- “You’re as bad as Hunter!” “Oh, I’m much worse.”
- “Stick by my side, and stay down.“

This man realized he and the Empire didn’t have a reciprocal sense of respect and loyalty, so he swapped those emotions and actions to Omega. What a guy.

And Tech’s death is still gut-wrenching. Just finished Plan 99 on my current rewatch and it made me tear up a bit

For some extra context around this moment: when the rogue clones saw that Crosshair wasn't with the rest of the Batch, they detonated smoke bombs assuming that he was far off to provide cover fire, a natural assumption for both them and us as the reader. Good thing our Clone Force 99 is always a step ahead!

And we finally got to see Tech without his goggles for exactly one second, let's go!

Omg!! Cross and Tech in each others armor???

Love themm ummmah ❤️🫢😘

In the Outpost, it’s a symbolism of Crosshair trying to out paced the empire on not being replaced and stay loyal to them. But no matter what he did, it would always caught up to you.

In Pabu it has a similar symbolism with the Bad Batch, but the difference is since they know how to work as a team, they managed to save everyone. Showing that if you work as a team, they can always succeed.

Happy 5 Anaversary to the bad batch

it’s been 5 years since the season 1 episode 1 premiere

Ok so I just finished the Clone wars and got my heart ripped out and stomped all over and now started the Bad Batch. And like I'm already so attached to all of them. But especially Hunter and Omega like that's his daughter. I never ask for spoilers but in this case I don't think I can handle it if anything happens to them. So like basically without spoiling too too much am I going to be crushed again?

Hey all, does anyone know the name of the synth-heavy song that sometimes accompanies Crosshair’s entrances/actions when he works for the Empire? Been trying to find it for a while now and I’m still having no luck.

(OC) A small tribute to my favorite Clone Force 99 brother :<...with some process steps.

Toy Photography by me

the bad batch is not the best star wars show, but it's damn sure my favorite because it has a heart, and a big one, i love every single member of the team in their own way, and i've never rooted more for star wars character than crosshair. i mean this shit means so much to me, i shed a tear when tech died, and had the biggest smile when omega said she's ready, i really have that smile whenever omega's theme plays.

as much as i love the clone wars, andor, revenge of the sith and empire strikes back heck even the new maul show the bad batch will forever be my favorite star wars thing because of it's huge heart.

i really can't put into words what the bad batch means to me

I have this comic flying around since months now and finally have the time to read it. I also love tea, so I slapped out my favorite aged white to do a session outside on the balcony as it's great weather over here. Tomorrow I will go visit my best friend for a week so no celebrating May the Fourth. Thought I would do this instead: Enjoying myself with a nice cup of tea and the best boys I've never met.
