I watched “Into the Breach” (S03E13) of The Bad Batch last night. This show continues to be great, and I really enjoyed this episode! I was anxious and on the edge of my seat until the very end—and I’m excited for next week.
Only TWO WEEKS LEFT of this show! 😭 If you’ve been sleeping on it, it’s a great time to get into it so you’re caught up in time for the penultimate or final episode… I have a feeling it’s gonna be good.
In case you have completely missed this show or not been interested because of the obscure cast—I was absolutely skeptical before getting into it—here are some spoiler-free reasons you should give it a go: 🧵
• It’s a focused, character-driven story that simultaneously ties neatly into the entire cinematic timeline. Palpatine’s influence looms large over the galaxy without being overbearing, the main characters are ex-Republic troopers finding their way in the galaxy under the thumb of the newly formed Empire, and it’s actually naturally tying into a bit of the Mandoverse and sequel trilogy without it feeling forced or like a retcon.
• The score/soundtrack! Holy crap, Kevin Kiner and his kids, Sean and Deana Kiner have done an incredible job—this final season in particular has been constantly impressive to me. It has that classic Star Wars orchestral feel at times, but definitely feels evolved in a way similar to the Andor score: a bit more synth-y and eerie at times, sometimes almost… rock?? Idk, it is just great imho.
#BadBatch Point of No Return is such a good episode. They managed to actually touch on the horror of fascists rolling into town on a level that #StarWars typically misses. The obvious exception being #Andor.
Finished the first three episodes of the new #BadBatch season. I didn't realize how much I missed the #StarWars universe! This show is right up there with #Andor for me.
@developerjustin they are not joking around with this and it shows that an animated series does not have to be for Kids. #Andor and #BadBatch are really the best way to enjoy the #starwars universe
(spoiler for a campaign you’re not in) Last night's #StarWars RPG session was so cool.
It's set during early years of the Republic. Our crew saw a video of a grown up Omega from #BadBatch on a planet we were going to.
We come out of hyperspace, and Imperial fighters are firing on us. A strange comm voice says “They're not shooting at you!" but we destroy them anyway. Then it becomes clear they were shooting at a fleeing Imperial shuttle…
I got a bad feeling about #Ahsoka. There is so much at stake here for #StarWars#Disney and #LucasFilm #Rebels#BadBatch and #CloneWars have kept the core still healthy, along with #Andor and earlier sibling #RogueOne). #Mandalorian had steap declining quality in season 3.
I hope I'll be wrong about Ahsoka come tomorrow. Were much anticipation for #Kenobi, but with a huge disappointment in the outcome.
#Filoni, prove that you are (still) the chosen one!
I am dying to know the post #BadBatch fate of Omega, though.
I am pretty sure most of Clone Force 99 will end up dying, but I am hoping we get at least some sort of #Mandoverse-era hint to a female clone running around.
