Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Shadows of Tantiss

“Shadows of Tantiss” makes good use of a ticking tock trope using the blood sampling we saw introduced in “Confined.” With Omega‘s (Michelle Ang) blood now in the system, she’s forced to escape with Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) before the sample is tested leading to a hurried, but ultimately successful, escape from Tantiss. However, now that the Empire knows the secret they have been searching for so relentlessly is locked in Omega’s genetic code you would expect them to redouble their efforts to capturing her again.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Confined

Alan Rapp / February 23, 2024 / Television Reviews

Title: Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Confined
wiki: link

The Season Three premiere of Star Wars: The Bad Batch focuses on the daily routine of Omega (Michelle Ang) now a prisoner of the Imperial Research Facility on Weyland. We don’t get the rest of the Bad Batch, except for Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) who is also a guinea pig for the doctors. Because the focus is the structure and banality of Omega’s current plight without hope of escape, the premiere provides less action than almost any episode of the series, although there are some important pieces to the overall puzzle revealed.

After finishing the story of the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu at the end of the First Season of The Mandalorian, the pair were thrown back together in The Book of Boba Fett. This makes the Second Season feel like a major step back for both characters, Grogu has abandoned his journey to become a Jedi and Din Djarin has returned to the strict ways of his upbringing despite learning to let go of those at the end of the previous season.

Ahsoka – The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord

Alan Rapp / October 6, 2023 / Television Reviews

Title: Ahsoka – Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord

Zombie Troopers! With the final episode in the books, the question lingers about Ahsoka. Was it a success? Presented as a contained mini-series, not as a chapter to a larger narrative, the results are mixed. But the ending did have Zombie Troopers! After dicking around for half its run, the show finally started developing the plot in its final three episode leaving far too little time to deal with Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and his return.

Ahsoka – Dreams and Madness

Alan Rapp / September 28, 2023 / Television Reviews

Title: Ahsoka – Parts Seven: Dreams and Madness
wiki: link

The penultimate episode of Ahsoka confirms the show’s purpose as a prequel and filler to the “real story” Disney will no doubt get around to eventually. It’s also important to note that, as in the case of many episodes of the series, there are absolutely no consequences for any characters in this episode. What “Part Seven” does offer is some Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi), who apparently has gotten less adept with the Force since we saw him last, time together with her being more than a bit coy about how she managed to reach him, Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) making to the other galaxy and eventually to the planet for a reunion, and Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) using the resources as his disposal to stall the Jedi providing more time for his escape.
