Star Wars: The Bad Batch

[CaptainWacky]

It does just look like a continuation of Clone Wars with less interesting characters, but I liked Clone Wars a lot and I'm sure I'll enjoy this.

I HOPE THIS GETS INTO REALLY SPECIFIC DETAIL ABOUT HOW AND WHEN THE ALPHA-3 NIMBUS-CLASS V-WING STARFIGHTER GETS REPLACED WITH THE TIE/LN STARFIGHTER AS THE MAIN FIGHTER IN THE IMPERIAL NAVY.

I hope they be nice to mouse droids (if they existed in this time period).

Why the fuck do I want to see these dopes again? I was relieved when their arc was finished in CW.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Maybe a spunky Gungan will join their squadron...

Maybe a spunky Gungan will join their squadron...

Finally a reason to celebrate May fourth!

 

[CaptainWacky]

So they're going to be a bunch of gay dads to a kid.

 

[CaptainWacky]

So there's a 70 minute episode (sounds like three episodes stuck together to me) tomorrow and then regular episodes on Fridays okay.

 

[Dr Dave]

The downside about doing more clone wars stuff is we ultimately know what happens to the clones (in general). I'll still probably watch it though.

First half hour, not that great. Didn't temp me into having a longer dinner break to finish it.

 

[Dr Dave]

I liked it. The beginning was a bit slow, but enough happened to make me want to watch Episode 2.

So they are introduced as bad add droid killers, but the droids literally do nothing as they stride between them slowly killing them.

Also the best shot on the team can't shoot shit once he becomes a stormtrooper.

It was pretty much what I thought it would be. More Clone Wars...but with less interesting main characters. I do enjoy Star Wars set in that era and the Clone Wars style of action, so I found it watchable enough. I thought it sagged in the middle and again I'm not super into any of the Bad Batch as characters (they basically have one personality trait each at this point.) It was cool that Caleb/Kanan appeared even though it was a bit weird hearing Freddie Prinze Junior's voice coming out of a child.

Omega wasn't annoying so that was good. And they killed the cute droid!

I liked the recerations of Episode 3 scenes in the newsreel, including Grievous's iconic evil finger movement.

 

[Dr Dave]

I was glad it was not just in the clone war, but just beginning empire. Hopefully they will do character development.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I liked it, I thought it was good.

 

[Dr Dave]

I liked todays episode.

 

[whisky]

It was better, I'm glad she took that thing off her head.
