This apex predator is immune to blaster fire, lightsaber attacks, and explosions. When The Bad Batch arrived, my suspicions (and probably yours) were slowly confirmed. This unknown and horrible beast made the Clone Commando look like a rookie Stormtrooper, there aren’t many creatures capable of such a thing. Something felt very different with this episode. The drifting ship and the disappeared crew made my sleep go away, it didn’t matter that it was almost 3 am. The moment I saw a Clone Commando be as brave as a Jawa I knew that something went extremely wrong. I never thought that the next time we would experience something like this would be in The Bad Batch, which is why it makes it so surprising and refreshing.

There are some terrifying Star Wars tales but it’s something we rarely see. However, the fear factor is something that’s not common in modern Star Wars. Star Wars has an incredible amount of stories with different settings and tones, many of them goofy, dark, heartbreaking, or hopeful.

Maybe they’ll even need to ask Cid for a favor. Ideally, from now on they’re going to be independent contractors but with what’s coming I’m not sure that might be a possibility. It’s true that they need a way to put food on the table but there are many wealthy people that aren’t fond of the Empire. With that said, I’m glad they’ve finally realized that working for someone like Cid isn’t the only option. Maybe they haven’t been fairly compensated in terms of credits but the Bad Batch has made good allies and when you’re against the Empire you need every help you can get. Not everything has been negative, they’ve been able to help many people and even “hurt” the Empire. In fact, I’d dare to say that she owes them. She has put Hunter, Omega, Wrecker, Tech, and Echo in very difficult situations without them obtaining much in return. One last missionĪfter being stranded on a planet and receiving zero help from Cid, it’s clear that they are tired of her. If an entire laboratory is being guarded by troopers that individually pose a high threat to almost anyone, then I can’t even start to imagine what or who is held captive in this research facility. The most famous example of this is obviously Delta Squad, from the 2005 game Republic Commando. Originally displayed in teams of four, the Commandos were capable of completing the deadliest missions with all odds against them. If what I’m assuming is accurate then it makes sense to see why Tantiss is being guarded only by Clone Commandos.Ĭlone Commandos are the absolute best of the former Grand Army of the Republic. I’m sure that many things contributed to the controversial return of Darth Sidious experimenting with captured Jedi or studying rare beasts that possess incredible features are the most obvious ones. Cloning a simple human is one thing but creating a force-sensitive clone is on a different level and we’re slowly seeing how it happened. We don’t know for how long they’ve been conducting this type of scientific research or the horrible things that were done but we do have an idea of the extent of it.Ĭlone Wars, The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, and the Sequel Trilogy are revealing key pieces in Palpatine’s puzzle. Mount Tantiss holds one of the main installations where experiments and research take place. Palpatine knows that it doesn’t matter if the Empire succeeds or not, as long as he finds a way to keep himself alive there always be an opportunity to rule the galaxy. There are many secret projects that the Empire is actively developing, but the most important one is cloning experimentation. They managed to get it back but not thanks to their boss.

Their ship was stolen and Cid didn’t even pretend to care about it. Omega, Wrecker, Hunter, and Tech were sent to an Ipsium mine. Not only that, but we finally know where everything is heading and how big the stakes are going to be! Recap of the story so farĮcho left the team to join Rex and help more people in need, particularly his clone brothers. It is a surprisingly dark episode that finally answers two questions that have been haunting Star Wars fans for more than ten years. The eleventh episode of the Bad Batch’s second season, Metamorphosis, is out on Disney Plus.
