1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,599 Hello ladies, gentlemen, Welcome back to another episode of geek First Podcast. 2 00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:09,039 I am your host today Tatfield, and I am going back into the world 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,839 of Star Wars the Galaxy Far Far Away, covering the bad Batch season three, 4 00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:18,239 the final season. I apologize because I was trying to do four episodes 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,760 and then a review four episodes in a review, and it just went over 6 00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:24,399 my head.

We have our summer anniversary event that is in the works. 20 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,959 It's gonna be a lot of fun, and stay tuned because Travis is a 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,719 lot more details than I do at this time regarding that and the events that 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,200 we're planning. But other than that, I think that's pretty much it. 23 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,480 We have Civil War that's being reviewed this week, and we have we have 24 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,359 a few other movies that are kind of cooking up too that will maybe be 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,840 doing reviews on. So lots of stuff always popping off in the geek first, 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,200 it's always a good time. But without further ado, I'm probably just 27 00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:42,680 going to combine my discussion and of all these episodes just kind of seamlessly move 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,560 through them. But before I get into the spoilers thoughts, of course, 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,480 non spoilers first, The things that we're getting in these episodes have been so 30 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:59,640 wonderful, so developed and fine tuned. And I've mentioned this on the previous 31 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,719 review, but ever since season one, they've really done a fantastic job at 32 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:14,680 really exploring these characters and not making them flamboyantly exaggerative versions of themselves that were 33 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,520 introduced back in the Clone Wars final season. What we're getting here just feels 34 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,120 much more refined, and I'm so happy to see these characters grow and develop. 35 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,240 And it's just been an absolute pleasure to see where we're at with all 36 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,520 the loss and the tribulation that our characters have faced, and just to see 37 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,000 where our characters like Crossair have come into the fold, back into our team 38 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,479 after having gone through so many problems and pain and tribulation, So just to 39 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,879 see how relationships are broken and have rekindled and developed. It's just been absolutely 40 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000 wonderful just to see this degree of storytelling, and it's just really given me 41 00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:58,840 hope to a point where I'd love to see some of the live action shows 42 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,080 and movies kind of hit some of these marks with their developments. Because of 43 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,840 course, it's not all perfect, and I'm pretty biased because I love everything 44 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:09,159 Star Wars, I really do, but I have to take a back seat, 45 00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:15,159 and I'm I acknowledge the fact that not everything Mandaloria and not everythingh Sooka 46 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,400 and all that is perfect, but there are there are good things that are 47 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:28,080 residing in all these different not franchises, but different portrayals and storylines that have 48 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,360 been pulled out of Star Wars, and bad Batch is doing a great job 49 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:38,639 at building up to climactic finales and giving us incredible character development. I'm not 50 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,919 saying that it's to avoid in the other mediums like live action movies and shows, 51 00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:49,680 they're definitely there, but it just feels like there's there's something that is 52 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,879 just really focused on here over the Maybe it's just the spread of three seasons 53 00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:58,879 and you can really see how the characters have grown while other shows, our 54 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,039 Star Wars shows are still hitting hitting their strides. I mean, Mandalorian has 55 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,280 had three seasons and we're getting a movie now, So that makes sense why 56 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,120 some of those characters a little bit more developed. But then again, not 57 00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:13,199 all those characters do feel like they've been refined and have been developed enough in 58 00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,680 comparison to our bad Batch characters. Where you have a crosshair, just the 59 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,800 level of trauma that he's experiencing when he's talking about not wanting to go back 60 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:27,079 to tent I don't get that almost gotten to some spoilers, but there's just 61 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,279 there's just certain degrees of notes that they're hitting with these characters, and I'm 62 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,839 just a broken record at this point as I elaborate more on that, but 63 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:42,120 it's just it's been wonderful, and these episodes in particular do so much justice 64 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,600 in acting. I don't want to say filler because I feel like I haven't 65 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:51,279 gotten a filler episode in this season so far, and a lot of them 66 00:04:51,319 --> 00:05:01,279 are just adventures that are adding and careening our story narrative forwards towards our ultimate 67 00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,720 climactic ending, and I really appreciate that. I like when you're not just 68 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,399 clone warsing it up. I guess where you just have all doctor Vindi from 69 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,639 Nabooge, who's putting out this plague. It's irrelevant. In another episode it's 70 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,800 just one off kind of gig. Well, there's entertainment and some of that 71 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:20,879 stuff. It's nice to just have one cohesive story and then side missions that 72 00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:26,600 all add towards moving and progressing that narrative forward. And I really really am 73 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:29,279 happy with that, and I feel like this show has really refined that and 74 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,720 been executing it quite well. So when we get to these episodes, you 75 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:38,240 see more of our characters going through tribulations, more of them introduced to characters 76 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,040 we're familiar with but we haven't seen before, connecting with the bad Batch, 77 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:46,199 which has been really really nice, and then we see a lot more high 78 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,199 stakes and risks taken, and it's just it's just been great leading up to 79 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:55,920 more familiar characters returning again like in this last episode from this week, episode 80 00:05:55,959 --> 00:06:00,879 twelve, it's just been fantastic. I'm just I'm happy to see little nods 81 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,839 towards the prequels. You could say as well that they're just kind of acknowledging 82 00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:12,199 certain things, whether it's terminology or characters. But I'm just very very happy 83 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,600 with where we're at, and I can't wait because we have three episodes left 84 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,920 and I just feel like these things are coming down to the wire, and 85 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,839 it's nice to know that once, of course, this show sadly will come 86 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,199 to an end, that I feel like it's gonna have a dark ending, 87 00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:30,920 that we're gonna be moving on to another May the fourth series, Tales of 88 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,079 the Empire. Following Tales of the Jedi success, we're getting another Tales show 89 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,879 that it was rumored a little bit ago, I believe me and Travis were 90 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:41,519 talking about it. Where they were talking about maybe tales of the syth tales 91 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,040 of rebellions, stuff like that, but here we go Tales of the Empire. 92 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,160 I cannot wait because we're getting thrown. We've got bariss OFFI who's popping 93 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,519 back in there, and uh, it's gonna be great. It's gonna be 94 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,879 absolutely wonderful. Anyways, that's what we're talking about tonight. We're talking about 95 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,519 Star Wars a bad Batch. So I'm gonna take a quick ad break here 96 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,839 and then I'm going to get into the nitty gritty spoilers, so we will 97 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:12,759 be right back, and we are back. So let's talk about episode eight, 98 00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:16,959 Bad Territory. Now, we have bad Batch basically asking Fee to inquire 99 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:21,439 about the Empire's M counts experiments, and she basically mentions, okay, well, 100 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,120 the bounty hunters have been hired to search for targets that have high m 101 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:31,600 counts. This, that's that's interesting, and it touches up it's touched upon 102 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:38,279 in another episode upcoming. But I like how that is basically a call back 103 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,120 to another Clone Wars episode, but we'll touch upon that later. So basically, 104 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,240 we get introduced to Shann Fenex shanned here reintroduced the US, I should 105 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,399 say, because we've gotten to know her through bookable effect and she's made some 106 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:57,279 appearances obviously and has been encountered by the bad Batch previously. But Hunter and 107 00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:01,319 Wrecker are seeking her out. The base just need to know what she knows 108 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,839 about m counts because Hunter is going out and it was so nice to have 109 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:09,120 her character back. I think she's really really an awesome bounty hunter. I 110 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,360 think she's got a lot of character to her, a lot of loyalty, 111 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,879 and there's a little something else in there where she's definitely not like a cad 112 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,279 Bane. I would dare say she's definitely something different. And so Omega cross 113 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:30,399 her. They stay back on Pabo and Omega basically is trying to help Crosshair 114 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,320 with the trauma because we've seen him so far. He's got this nervous twitch 115 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,879 going on and he's trying to overcome this block that he has because his sniping 116 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,000 skills are not the same as what they used to be. But moving on 117 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,840 to Hunter and Record, now, basically Shan says, okay, you help 118 00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:46,399 me get a target, I'm gonna tell you what I know. And so 119 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,879 they managed to successfully get the target and then Shan says, Okay, I'm 120 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:54,759 gonna stay in touch and I'll hook you up with the information when I get 121 00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,240 it. So they go their separate ways. Now the episode was it was 122 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,759 really really fun. I thought that the animation is so beautiful. Oh my 123 00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:07,240 god, it's gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. And so we're on this weird, 124 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:13,039 really swampy planet because they're looking for this guy is like a lizard kind of 125 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,240 creature alien Siler Sarrus is the target. The whole area is super super cool. 126 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:22,639 You can't breathe air, it's not breatheable. It's all poisonous. They 127 00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:24,399 have to wear their masks and they're in the swamps and stuff like that. 128 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,960 Just a horrible planet to really call home. But it was very cool to 129 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,000 see them work with Shen and just kind of team up and go and get 130 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,279 the target. But other than that, it was really just a bounty hunt 131 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,480 chase. And again I'd say that there wasn't really many fillers in this. 132 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,279 This didn't feel like filler. It just felt to me like, Okay, 133 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,960 this is what the bad Batch is doing because they have this gold and they 134 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,799 need to get the information about m Counts. So the contact that we learn. 135 00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:54,440 Moving into episode nine, the Harbager is as Sage Ventris, which is 136 00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:00,799 pretty awesome. And it's amazing because Assage ends up learning where or Omega and 137 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,320 the Bad Batch are and knows how to get there its secret. So I 138 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,519 think that's one of the maybe the cons because I feel like, Okay, 139 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,559 the Bad Batch needs to talk to FEB needs to make sure that they got 140 00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:16,240 some security in place here, but they don't learn their lesson from Venturess, 141 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,639 and the upcoming episodes kind of show why things kind of fall apart. But 142 00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:26,000 I digress. So Assage Venture shows up, tells the Bad Batch that the 143 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,720 m count signifies a person's connection to the Force, and basically starts testing Omega 144 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,360 using her own Jedi techniques. And I think that this was really really wonderful 145 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:41,480 to see this side of Venturess, because you really see this young, adolescent, 146 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,320 angry version of Assage Venturess. In the Clone Wars, we get a 147 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,759 little backstory where we see that her Master was someone who got stranded on a 148 00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:54,720 planet, took her and as a forced sensitive, and trained her in the 149 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,919 ways of the Jedi arts. On this planet, Master got killed, left 150 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:01,039 her basically for dead as they were trapped on the planet, and that's when 151 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,080 Dooku comes in and meets her and then recruits her. So basically, the 152 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,519 bad Batch understands and identifies, Okay, this is venturous, she was a 153 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:16,519 separatist assassin during the Clone wars. Omega trusts her, and you get some 154 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:22,759 cool sea monster stuff going on, and basically you have Ventures trying to convince 155 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:28,360 Omega that her amcount is low and that you don't need to worry about it. 156 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Obviously, the others can tell she's lying, and we kind of get 157 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,039 a little bit of a conflict here. But the fight, I felt like 158 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,519 the fight was forced, and I feel like that they could have just they 159 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:45,759 could have skipped over it. They didn't need to do into this whole dispute. 160 00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,080 I get that they were apprehensive, but you should know that you listen 161 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:54,440 to what Assage Adventures is saying that both sides have been used and that the 162 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,799 Empire came out on top, and that she's just as much a victim and 163 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,879 a war criminal. I guess as they are at this point. So that's 164 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,799 just how I kind of feel about it. But I still loved everything, 165 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:07,200 and I thought the bad Batch getting the upper hand on her was great, 166 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,480 and then she's whipping out her lightsaber, her yellow lightsaber, which was super 167 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:15,759 wonderful. I love seeing that her hair toos looks her whole style, super 168 00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:20,159 super cool, very very awesome. But basically she elaborates to them that Okay, 169 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,720 you guys are not safe here. And I had a second thought where 170 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,960 maybe she would take Omega and make Omega like her apprentice. I just think 171 00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,159 I just think it's kind of funny how the natural instinct of a Force user 172 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,559 is like, Okay, I'm gonna recruit you. You can use the Force. 173 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,240 Okay, come on, come learn from me and be my be my 174 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:41,399 apprentice. It's just kind of like the go to default of any Force user. 175 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,679 It seems like I digress. So the bad Batch understands, Okay, 176 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,679 they're not safe on Pappy because she could track them there, so others could 177 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,840 track them there. We get to episode ten Identity Crisis, and basically we 178 00:12:54,919 --> 00:13:00,799 see that NAL's Say is imprisoned. Hemlock is like, okay, helped Omega 179 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,000 and cross her escape. I'm not happy with you. You're staying in jail. 180 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,399 But he does promote Emory to be the new lead scientist of Project necromancer. 181 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,840 So this is the first step for Emory slowly becoming more and more unimpressed 182 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,879 with the Empire. She's learning more about the subjects being tested on that they're 183 00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:22,559 actually children, and this is the first time we get to actually see these 184 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:30,000 children that all have high m counts, and basically she's really just upset with 185 00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:35,200 herself and upset with how cold and disregarded they are being treated. And it 186 00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,159 is very unfortunate, but this is just how the Empire works. Now, 187 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,559 this is where we get another character that we're familiar with and reintroduced. We 188 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,960 get to see Bain and he's basically capturing a kid who is for sensitive And 189 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,039 this one really really made me think back to when Sidius had Bain go and 190 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,080 capture for sensitive children. I really really like this kind of callback to it. 191 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,559 And Bain's the best in the business for this kind of thing. I 192 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,120 mean absolutely, he's great. And you see that in the beginning of this 193 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,759 episode when the woman is basically in the market with a little boy and a 194 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:13,600 little baby basically uses the force as something they shouldn't have and then someone reports 195 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:18,840 it. If you knew your kid was special and was doing forced stuff, 196 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,879 you don't bring the kid outside. Unfortunately, you just got to keep them 197 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,639 under lock and key because they're lucky. Baine was the one that went to 198 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:31,039 apprehend because if it was an inquisitor, I feel like that could have gone 199 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:35,879 much, much worse. So that's my thoughts. But Bain basically abducts this 200 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,120 child, takes a child to it looked like it was Corus Sant I'm pretty 201 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:45,879 sure, and we got some really cool visuals here of course on basically these 202 00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:50,399 docking stations out in orbit, Venitor class cruisers that were docked to it was 203 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,279 just visually breathtaking. Absolutely loved it. So Emory shows up there basically to 204 00:14:54,519 --> 00:15:00,320 get the kid and basically pays Baane sends Bane on his way. I don't 205 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,639 I don't expect to see Bane again. This is just like a one I've 206 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:05,240 done, and I'm totally happy with that little cameo. Same as the same 207 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,759 with Finnick Shan that was those are just easy things. I could see maybe 208 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,480 Assage Ventures coming back, but I'm not holding my breath. I think that 209 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,200 was just just right. And actually, before I continue on, there was 210 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,840 a line that Assage Ventures said, this is just like one of my many 211 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:20,840 lives I'm paraphrasing, of course, but she hints at many lives, and 212 00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:28,440 I feel like people that are very lore Cannon heavy and are upset because of 213 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,720 how the books elaborated on her death. I also feel like there could be 214 00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:39,919 a lot of Night Sisters, Dathomeria and Magic involved with her somehow still being 215 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:41,679 alive. I wouldn't put it past them to tap into that, especially if 216 00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:46,200 she's talking about multiple lives. That's it seems too good to be true. 217 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:54,480 So basically child is delivered and Hemlock is talking with c X two. Ow 218 00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:00,919 okay, he's close to finding Omega after learning about uh Fee. Basically, 219 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,279 Fee is basically tied into the next episode when CX two, which is the 220 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:11,000 super Stealth Clone, understands, okay, I gotta find Fee and Fee is 221 00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:14,840 going to be targeted here to find Pabu's location, and so you get a 222 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:22,080 pretty cool starting point of episode eleven point and Overturn where Fee's ship is not 223 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,519 attacked but snuck on board by CX two, gets in a navigation computer and 224 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:32,200 then basically thinks, Okay, I got the information, I'm gonna bounce off 225 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960 to Pabu and coincidentally, the bad Badge is also worried, and I feel 226 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,480 like they should have left a long time ago. They took their sweet time. 227 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,200 But they're prepping their ship, they're getting a ready to leave the planet. 228 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,559 When CX two arrives confirms that they're here and totally fucks with their part 229 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,559 of my language sc ruins their day. He actually destroys the marauder, blows 230 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,399 them up seriously, injures Record, basically knocking them out of commission, and 231 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,080 basically gets a fair amount of reinforcements here. All there are. Means of 232 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,039 escape are cut off, there's no ships that they can take. Boats are 233 00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:03,119 disarmed, and so you have this venitor just sitting right above the island, 234 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,279 gunships flying around, and so you have many attempts by the badmatch to get 235 00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:11,440 out of here, but with Record being taken out of commission, you have 236 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,400 Hunter going for a gunship. Doesn't end well, it doesn't go successfully, 237 00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:21,279 and so Crosshair is basically protecting Omega. But Omega understands that she needs to 238 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,000 volunteer herself for being captured and that'll hopefully spare the rest of the people. 239 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,119 I don't know how the rest of the village would be properly spared. Because 240 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:37,680 imperial rule would just lay dominion over this town now. But needless to say, 241 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:45,119 she puts herself up and she basically gets taken into Tantis again. So 242 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:52,640 it had a fantastic uh set up here with Crosshair, because the plan was 243 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:59,759 as Omega decided that I'm going to put myself up and surrender across her, 244 00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:06,079 You're going to shoot a targeting tracker onto the ship, and I'm going to 245 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,680 lead you guys all the way to Tanta. So basically you get this really 246 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,000 high intense shot. I didn't think they'd be bold enough to actually have Crosshair 247 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,079 miss here, but he does. He fails to get the targeting tracker onto 248 00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:22,400 CX two's ship when X two leaves with the Mega and I my jaw dropped. 249 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,119 I was in absolute awe. But that's the way it goes. So 250 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:33,680 I moved on to episode twelve Juggernaut, where Fee manages to sneak to Pabo 251 00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:37,279 and ends up rescuing the bad Batch members get some out of there, and 252 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,559 now we learn that Crosshair has a last resort on how to find Tantas, 253 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,599 and this is where we touched upon Admiral Rampart, who had a interesting run 254 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,559 in season two until the Empire betrayed him for destroying Corossant, which is a 255 00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:59,839 absolutely wild, wild setup of events, just absolutely wild. Was that season 256 00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:02,319 two two? Or maybe that was season one. I can't remember, it's 257 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,119 been so long. Oh gosh, No, maybe that was a season one 258 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,359 finale, because yeah, season two. I'm trying to think of all the 259 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:15,279 times that Palpatine appeared. Season one was Rampart and season two was when Palpatine 260 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:19,359 appeared for the legislation of the Stormtroopers being commissioned. That's right, that's right, 261 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,319 Okay, got it, I got our facts and all I apologize because 262 00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:25,759 I'm recovering from a little bit of a cold, so my head is kind 263 00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:30,079 of all over the place. But we're making it work. So on this 264 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,480 episode twelve Juggernaut, when X two basically gets Omega back to Tantis, they 265 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,720 kind of like shut X two down. That not literally shut him down, 266 00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:41,480 but he's kind of like out for the remainder of the episode. And I'm 267 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:44,319 hoping with three episodes left, we get a little bit more of him, 268 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,880 because I don't think he's just a regular clone. People have been speculating that 269 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,599 he is tech. I don't think he's tech because the tech's body that fell 270 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,079 from that height would have just exploded as it hit the crowd because that was 271 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,599 very high. I'm hoping that it's just a random clone, or maybe it 272 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,400 is some kind of cool other character, but it don't make a tech that 273 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,519 would really really suck. So Emory's testing Omega's blood confirms that it's got the 274 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:12,680 high amcount that they need, and then we get some interesting dialogue here between 275 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:19,680 Omega and hemlockas he's talking about Project Necromancer. We learned that through cloning, 276 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:27,240 you can't clone an individual's m count. That's something that it's just it's impossible. 277 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,160 And obviously we know at this point Palpatine's trying to clone another body, 278 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,480 and that body has to have a high m count, it has to have 279 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:37,759 a high connection to the force. And the thing with Omega is she is 280 00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:41,440 a clone and she's got that high m count. Her blood is compatible with 281 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,119 the clones that they're trying to build, and the clones that they're trying to 282 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:51,519 build obviously allows them to replicate and create that high m count in their bodies. 283 00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:53,640 That's obviously where we get to Snoke and everything down the road, and 284 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:59,480 it's interesting how that ties into the Mandalorian season three because we see that Gideon 285 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:04,000 created or sensitive clones of himself as soldiers, which is fascinating because that was 286 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:11,920 that had to have been stemming from Omega and the research that's done here, 287 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:17,680 and that was pulled with the m Count Midichlorian's I'm assuming that was from Grogu. 288 00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:22,160 So there's a lot that's pulled from there to from this episode to future. 289 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,920 And I like how those things are kind of tying together. That's really 290 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,480 really nice. But how this is gonna end, I really don't know. 291 00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,920 It Just it's interesting because I feel like the Empire is gonna get the win 292 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,119 here, and I think we're gonna see some more deaths. As much as 293 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,960 I hate to say that, it's just there's not gonna be a sequel sequel 294 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,119 show to this, and I feel like the bad Batch isn't obviously in anything 295 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,240 else, So what's gonna happen. Are we just gonna kind of have them 296 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,359 escape with Omega? Are they going to run away and we get a comic 297 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,839 book run that's gonna detail their next adventures? I hope not. I hope 298 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,839 that this series actually concludes their stories just like that. But as far as 299 00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,359 their stories go. In this episode, they have to go get ramparts. 300 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,400 So he's locked up in prison for what the Empire portrayed him for and they 301 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,599 basically go to Imperial labor camp and with Fees help because she's piling the ship. 302 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:18,000 Basically, the bad Batch hijacks one of the prison transfer vehicles. My 303 00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:22,519 favorite and one of the few vehicles with wheels in Star Wars universe, a 304 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:27,359 Clone turbo tank, one of these badass little things. It's just it's fantastic. 305 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,400 We've seen them in Star Wars Revenge of the Scyth, we saw it 306 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,480 in Star Wars Were One, So this thing's made a few live action appearances 307 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,119 and then it's appeared in a couple animated sequences as well. But it's really 308 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,480 cool, and we really got to see it displayed like in full armament here, 309 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,319 and we haven't seen that since Revenge of the Scyth, where it's just 310 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,559 firing the rockets from the sides, turbo lasers off the top. It was 311 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,279 just really really cool, and the action sequence here was really fun, seeing 312 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:56,400 the gunships go against it, dropping storm droopers on the top of it too. 313 00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:59,559 I really enjoyed all of it, and I enjoy seeing that Imperial officers 314 00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,960 just kind of reacting to these situations. That was neat. But Rampart is 315 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:07,720 saved and we basically get some exposition here where he acknowledges Okay, I don't 316 00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:14,519 have the directions to Tantis, but the coordinates I can share how we can 317 00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:18,480 get them. I might have my own ways. So basically that's where we're 318 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:22,480 left on this cliffhanger going into episode thirteen, into the Breach, where I 319 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,400 feel like we're gonna have Rampart help them to find the coordinates to get where 320 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,400 they're gonna go. I don't know what Rampart's plan is. He did make 321 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,359 an attempt to betray and shoot Crosshair, but Crosshair got the you got the 322 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,440 jump on him, so he can't go back to the Empire. I don't 323 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,079 know if he's got friends. It's gonna be just going to see what Rampart's 324 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:45,200 ultimate what is next move is gonna be. Even if he's gonna have a 325 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,960 movie. He might just get killed by Crosshair. I could see that happening 326 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,640 because Crosshair doesn't like him very much. But that is that's pretty much in 327 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,039 for these episodes. Again, I was very very happy with them. I 328 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:59,480 had a good time, and I thoroughly enjoy seeing familiar faces reappear in this 329 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,920 universe. It's wonderful and the animations ten out of ten, absolutely incredible. 330 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:08,079 With three episodes left, I'm really wondering, like I've already added to I'm 331 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:12,720 really wondering how they're going to conclude this deaths and cliffhangers, all that kind 332 00:24:12,759 --> 00:24:15,240 of stuff, how they're going to set this stuff up, and how it's 333 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:19,319 going to tie into the Mandalorian, because I really feel like Project Necromancer is 334 00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:22,319 going to tie into that, and it's going to tie in even further to 335 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,640 down the road to Last Jedi. So I guess the whole trilogy really was 336 00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:32,880 Snoke and then with Palpatine's Body and Rise of Skywalker, it'll be interesting to 337 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,839 see how all of that works out. So until I guess three weeks from 338 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:41,240 now, May the First Cavalry has arrived episode fifteen, will we drop in 339 00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:45,759 that finale just in time from May the fourth be with you cannot wait, 340 00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:49,920 So until next time, everyone have a good one and we'll see you in 341 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,599 the search bar.
