Star Wars: The Bad Batch – The Solitary Clone

Feeling more like an episode of The Clone Wars than The Bad Batch, we’re given an episode to catch-up on Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) who is sent on a mission with Cody (Baker) and other Clones for the Empire needing to squash a Separtist uprising on Desix. Along with offering a check-in with the black sheep of the Bad Batch, the episode also offers an example of how the Empire put the Clones to work after taking power and how similar their missions were… with a few key differences. It’s a fine episode that just feels out of place as the season is still trying to setting the status quo for characters not even referred to here. The episode ends with Cody apparently deserting after being unable to execute an order, but the more effective outcome would have the Empire killing him offering another lesson to Crosshair of their brutality.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch returns for its Second Season with the Empire’s power growing and a dangerous but lucrative opportunity for the crew offered. Looking for a big score, for either retirement or help with the Rebellion (the Clones have differing opinions on their next course of action), the team accepts a risky mission stealing from the Empire who are cleaning out Count Dooku‘s vaults. Even a single cargo container could be the Bad Batch’s biggest score. However, things don’t go quite according to plan. Both the first two episodes focus on the heist, where the team gets separated, and then bringing the group back together (albeit without the big score they hoped for).

The Book of Fennec Shand – In the Name of Honor

  • Title: The Book of Boba Fett – Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor

After getting off-track for a couple of episodes, The Book of Boba Fett concludes its season with a return to the main storyline involving Boba Fett’s (Temuera Morrison) attempts to become the new crime boss of Mos Espa and fight off the invading the Pyke Syndicate. Oh, and there’s that last-minute revenge for the Tusken Raiders (well, sort of). The finale certainly doesn’t skimp on action and offers the payoff of Fett riding his Rancor (something we were told was extremely difficult and didn’t see him train for even once). Most of the episode takes place in the streets of the city as Fett’s crew fights the superior numbers and firepower of the Pykes. Most of Fett’s crew, that is.
