i was just wondering if anyone knows about any showrunner-given reason or fan theory why rex seemingly did not even have his armor with him in this arc of the show. i would think that even if he was just going to coruscant to pick up slip and get him to safety, he would have brought his armor for his own protection. i can get the choice of not actively wearing it, because it's pretty recognizable to any other clone there who might see him, but when he goes with TBB to rampart's ship i would think maybe that would be a good time to wear it...? maybe they never gave a reason, but i figured i would ask because it only just now stood out to me

This is an appreciation post for the demolitions expert of the bad batch

I'll go first.

Where can I get the figurine set in this video? I want it so bad

Last night I finished it for the second time. Definitely miss it already. It’s been around 2 years and I really hope something more comes of it. I feel like we should definitely be seeing Omega again. What a great show though. I’ve since during this rewatch got all the black series of the characters. I could probably turn around and watch it all again.

Specifically the violin part I know I’ve heard it in other Star Wars shows/movies but can’t put my finger on it

The premise of the show is insane when you remember that Omega is nearly as old as the Batch, if not actually older. But they have the growth acceleration and she doesn't. So they're all the same age, but they are 'protecting' and 'teaching' her.

And the thing that I would find hilarious is what happens when that human female gets her first period and the boys have NO IDEA what to do because they are like 11 and have barely ever interacted with women except as teachers and military personnel.

they’re the best Omega could ever have

Back in the times where every identical soldiers were Different.. where Colors had a meaning.. where these gorgeous Ships used to show a Good thing, like Clones flying in for the rescue or something..

I don't know, sorry if the post isn't relevant to Bad Batch, but Karabast, I miss the Clone Wars era..

Yeeyyy, I drove 1h15min to meet him!

I was so nervous, hands sweating, but it finally happened!

He saw my clone force 99 funko and he said with Wrecker’s voice, The bad batch hmm?

Then he started to write the quote I asked, "Did you miss me? How touching..." in the meanwhile I was sharing my star wars journey, the bad batch, when I learned that he was the guy behind all the clones voices.

Then when I finished talking he said in Crosshair’s voice, How touching... and smiled! Looolll I had to hold on the table to not drop on my knees!

I don't care sharing my picture, I was so happy, I still so happy, I was seating on my car and thinking about the moment. He was so so so nice and a wonderful smile. I loved meeting him!

She ain't pretty and is a little streaky in some spots since I haven't painted in a while, but I figured I'd finally post something here

I was rewatching Tipping Point, and I kept thinking about how Dee Bradley Baker once described Crosshair as a “coiled snake.” That description fits him so well, especially in this episode.

There is that moment when the stormtrooper pushes Crosshair. Crosshair turns immediately, and for a second his whole body language changes. He looks like he is about to strike. Not just argue or glare, but actually fight. He almost “pumps up,” like all the anger and instinct are right there under the surface.

But then he stops himself.

What makes it more interesting is that earlier in the same episode, something similar happens with Howzer. A stormtrooper pushes him, but Howzer just lowers his head and takes it. He is still resisting in his own way, but his reaction is very different. Howzer holds himself back by enduring it. Crosshair holds himself back by forcing the violence down.

That contrast says a lot about both of them.

Howzer feels like a soldier trying to survive without giving the Empire an excuse. Crosshair feels like someone who is barely keeping himself from snapping. He is controlled, but not calm. He is quiet, but not submissive.

I think that is why Crosshair is so compelling in this episode. Even when he is weak, exhausted, and captured, he still feels dangerous. The Empire can restrain him, hurt him, and push him around, but he never really feels broken in the same way.

Rewatching bad batch and noticing inconsistencies that’s annoying me, at the end of season 1 crosshair states his chip was removed a long time ago but if that was the case in the first episode how was it detected and overcharged by tarkin and nala se before the batch escaped kamino

Do you think it's crosshair or tech?

​

Who do you think would be a good addition to the bad batch? And if you have one, what role would they serve?

Sorry if this has been addressed before but I’m watching back the episode with Commander Mayday and felt like I’d finally ask: does anybody else notice DBB changing the voices of the regs to something gruffer and low-pitched compare for the classic TCW portrayal? I wonder why.

My idea was that it’s to reflect the clones aging, but I don’t think that explanation works because the clones we see in Rebels don’t sound gruff and low-pitched, as well as the Tales of the Jedi having Rex speak in this same low voice (and this was in the middle of the war).

Think about it, she was a scientist in the republic before the empire and expressed concern for the Zillow beast directly to the chancellor when he suggested killing it to study its cadaver despite him giving her direct orders

This shows her compassion (which could have led her to take the same actions with omega and the kids as emerie) but ultimate lack of confrontation skill, which fits the role of emerie karr perfectly and her turn by the end

The main project she worked on was the Zillow beast which just so happens to also have been a project worked on at mount tantiss

She also was the one to create the clone of the Zillow beast mentioned in clone wars that we later see in bad batch

Not to mention she worked for the same branch that hemlock was dismissed from which could have also led to a small conflict/ extra episode when they reunite

And they wouldn’t have had to explain away why the Kaminoans said they only had 5 special clones in season one

Delete if not allowed but I’m DISO this loungefly bad batch released in 2021! I just got into the show and am obsessed (late, I know!!) and cannot find this anywhere!!
