Hunter trusting echo fully as his commander really emphases just how good of a leader hunter really is unironically one of my favorite hunter moments.

Omega taking action being confident, made me shed a tear of happiness. Our girl is growing up

Omega has really come so far the batch would be proud to see the cunning talented, and most importantly compassionate person she's has become.

Quick correction, the equilateral trench on the Death Star is not the trench that Luke and the other rebel pilots make their run down, That trench was one of many located near the “northern” polar region of the Death Star where the thermal exhaust ports are located, the much larger trench around the equator is where all the docking ports and hanger bays are located.

Rampart may be unpopular and rightly so but I found him very funny this episode. Sassy man 😂

As I saw Omega just watching everything around her, I was like, this girl was trained by the Bad Batch. The guys that almost always find a way to make the impossible, possible. And how she's almost become the entire Batch combined into one person. 😁

I noticed this nice little detail - When Emerie was leaving the room, she quickly looked back at Omega, as if she knew that she stole something from her tray.

One reason 'd guess why our protagonists are opting to use the stun setting so much, is that they are more and more doing stealth missions again and those shots seem to be much more quiet than any lethal projectile.

The dynamic of the Bad Batch and Omega trusting each other to do their job is amazing to see The Bad Batch trust Echo to get the job done and everyone trusts that Omega isn’t helpless and is working to get them as they are getting to her Compared to the empire where everyone is out for themselves In the case of the Bad Batch - the force is revealed in their faith in each other It’s wonderful

this was my absolute favourite episode in this entire season in my opinion. Its so intense and exciting I genuinely loved it so much, cant get over the science vessel stuff

So many close calls this episode my cheeks clenched so many times.

Love this Black Ops Theme in this episode. Plus, as a theory, Cody may appear in that rumored clone series

I like how the concept of the Bad Batch came full circle with Hunter disobeying an order from an imperial "Vice Admiral" as they head into their final battle. Master class writing

I love seeing Echo doing ark trooper moves. I think Omegas passage will lead to the zillo beast. She will release it to cause havoc on Tantiss.

I theorize there was a change to the script for this episode. The display on the BB's shuttle says "Shield status," but they say they're waiting for Echo to turn off proximity sensors. The actual sequence of events depicted is much more in line with the idea that they were waiting on Echo to turn off shields, rather than sensors, since they aren't successful until the very last moment as they're attaching to the hull and the ship is taking off for lightspeed, and sensors that had failed to detect a ship approaching or getting close enough to dock are basically useless. It's like they'd originally blocked and drawn scenes for the shields to be taken down, but then re-wrote it to sensors later.

The Death Star's trench was not the center ring. There were multiple trenches, with the one the Rebels used near the top of its northern hemisphere. The center was where the docking bays were.

I love every Arrested Development you use on your videos. We need more of those!

" Prisoners with jobs " legit makes me laugh EVERY TIME...lol

I'm surprised that not a single reviewer I've watched recognised the Ghost In The Shell vibes in the first scene with Omega when she wakes up. The whole movement when she sits up on the bed and the music to go with it! Great!

I love it when you repeat Easter eggs! I watch all of your videos and I like that you make it so easy for a new viewer to get all those fun facts. It’s also nice to be reminded of some of the smaller Easter eggs. Don’t ever apologize for making great content!

I like how Omega is strategizing. 10:08 Pretty bad-ass by Ahsoka. 12:17 I completely agree about the memorial wall. 15:00 😅 HAA!

Star Wars should do a what if, With Ashoka actually listening to Maul. That would be so sick

8:32 That's a Rho class shuttle. They first appeared in Clone Wars season 5.

I am okay with the idea of Omega getting Force Training now. She actually deserves the power.

The other mountain was in a previous episode too. Also: Maybe stun or incapacitate when the other side is weaponless. An unarmed data clerk, workers or shipping officers aren't heavy blaster armed personnel.

There´s a BIG flaw in this video, as the Death Star trench is NOT the equinoctial line. Keep in mind how big the Death Star is. Some sources say the diameter is between 140 and 160 kilometers. If the trench would be THAT visible from afar, it would probably be half a mile wide, when in "reality", it was just barely large enough to have three TIE Fighters side by side.

The shuttle that the Batch stole (which I shall refer to as the Marauder II) to infiltrate the Imperial station to obtain the coordinates to Tantiss is a Rho-class shuttle, which resembles the Nu-class, yet it contains a dorsal fin and a much larger hull to serve as a troop, cargo, and medical transport. It's even worth mentioning that a lot of shuttle models in Star Wars are named after letters from the Greek alphabet (i.e. Lambda, Sentinel, Rho, Nu, Omicron, Theta, Eta, Zeta, etc.).

"Force-sensitve Cortexiphan kids" LOL! Nice reference!🤣🤣🤣

The center part of the Death Star isn't where the trench run happened. That is where the docking bays are located. The Trench Run occurred near the north pole of the Death Star.

The above shot of Mount Tantiss is reminiscent of a bulls-eye.

"Namaste, Doug!" 😂🤣

With the science ship, they said they were monitoring comms, I assume that would include tracker comms, echo could have snuck on board and then activated a tracker when they landed. I think the bigger reason is they did it this way is so that Rampart is on hand for something possibly to access the vault

A nice connection I made. The Bad Batch in this episode change their armor to all black, the commando squad known for their black armor in legends is Omega squad. Not sure if that’s intentional but it’s a couple coincidence.

The Reason the Batch is using the " Stun Setting" is because the blast is Quitter than a blaster shot.

Two mountains? Like two...towers...

Omega felt so grown up this episode. She’s grown even since her first time on Tantiss, when she needed Crosshair’s help to leave. She is leading, spying, and plotting. Comparing her first time there, where she was there for months and made a doll to comfort herself, to now where she is wasting no time and letting the other kid enjoy the doll, she has become the adult and also has stayed true to her goal of freeing all of the prisoners at Tantiss. She refuses to leave people behind. It used to be unrealistic, but she is actually able to create her plan. Hopefully the force sensitive children have their moment to use the force to aid in the escape. I am so sad to realize there are only two episodes left. I thought it was at least 16 episodes. I really want a happy ending. I actually have no idea how this ends.

This was a really cool episode. The tension in the last 5 minutes was palpa(tine)ble.

What did you think of the episode?

That "baby" looks half cat half owl IMO

When Rampart said "What if we're caught or killed on this little mission?", did anyone else get a Mission: Impossible vibe, or was that just me? The recorded message in Mission: Impossible always ends with, "As always, if you or any member of IM team is caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions."

Probably not the first time used in the show but the first time I noticed that some of the crates being loaded were the same shape as the case a lightsaber hilt comes in in Galaxy’s Edge.

What a great episode! Probably the most bad ass we’ve seen the Batch yet

This has been my favorite episode in a while! I also noticed the rings on the second Tantis mountain for the first time as well. Perhaps Dr Hemlock is expanding operations? I love Omega’s character arc! When she was formulating her escape plan in this episode I was thinking that she even looks more like her clone brothers than before! This and all of the subtle details you’ve pointed out about how the Empire is transitioning from the Republic are what I love best about the show!

I think the reason they use stun blasts rather than normal bolts is because the stun rounds are significantly quieter. They still use bolts when normally fighting the TK troopers like on pabu. They really only use the stun setting now when they are trying to be stealthy

The ending of this episode was some of the best suspense I've ever seen in the franchise. Right up there with Rogue One when the heroes started dying

I think the stun setting makes sense because they started using it on clones because they were being mind controlled with the chip. But still used it on regular troopers. But now that the Agent X program has revealed more in depth mind control they can’t actually be sure who is being controlled and who isn’t. They have always attempted to limit innocent casualties.

The dolly shot of Omega in her room was like the shot in Ghost in The Shell

Rampart is voiced by the same guy who voiced Bode in Jedi Survivor!

A new Star Wars series every week for the next 100 years.

I loved how of all people CROSSHAIR was the one to say trust echo to get the job done

6:30 When you think about it, unlike the last time when Omega was captured and imprisoned, this time she allow them to take her. SHE’S THE ONE IN CONTROL NOW. That’s so empowering. Wow, how much she’s grown!

The Batch uses stun when they're not sure if they'll encounter clones. As we saw a couple weeks ago with Wolffe's troops, not all clones were upgraded to CC. Clones were being cycled out of service but there were still some in specialty positions. They have no real problem shooting TKs and officers, but they don't want to accidentally kill 'brothers' even if they are indoctrinated.

From what I can remember The Bad Batch used the stun setting fairly often in previous seasons during engagements because they were usually fighting off other clones and didn't want to kill any of their brothers who they thought were simply under the control of the inhibitor chips. Although that quickly changed with the introduction of the TK troopers and realization that Crosshair was actively choosing to remain loyal to The Empire despite no longer being under the influence of an inhibitor chip. All bets were off at that point. I think they are using the stun setting more often again due to the clandestine nature of their recent missions. Its also possible that after their run in with Wolffe, whom likely still has his inhibitor chip yet still let them go free, could have given them a sense of renewed hope "staying their blades" so to speak.

Probably been mentioned before, but the “trench run” on the Deathstar was NOT in the equatorial ring. The ring is far wider and deeper, which is plainly seen in the clip you show later of the Falcon entering the landing bay. It is also clear from the schematics shown to the Rebel pilots before the battle.

Great point about how they’re implementing the look of the technology! Never thought about that.

This was maybe the best breakdown all season. The theme of the squares was spot on, even down to Emery’s glasses.

The species of the baby that was kidnapped a few episodes ago, is also in the first sabacc scene on “Solo”. Also station 003 looks a lot like the covenant station “high charity” from Halo

Cortexiphan? Two Fringe call outs in a week? Im here for it.

That ending was nerve wracking literally heading to their deaths 😢

I've always noticed that the Bad Batch use stun settings when they're engaged with other clones but tend to fire lethal blasts when their enemies are anyone else like the TK troopers. Good ep SC!

I have to argue, though many of the patterns are square within Mount Tantiss, the show focuses heavenly on an overall circular design. The mountain base is circular, the holding facility for the children is circular. The camera work even makes an increased effort on multiple occasions throughout the episode to focus on the very circular nature of the Mount Tantiss base on Wayland. This contradicts the square Rebel base designs on Yavin 4.

I just got my 'Good Soldiers Follow Orders' shirt and it's great! Thanks SC!

Loved the paint strip tool Echo used

Keep up with the vids Ryan!

I think the return to Tantis serves to not only build character for Omega, but also to free other clones. Perhaps the sacrifice, and loss, of the Bad Batch motivates the freed clones to "rebel" against the Empire. Trained soldiers make great teachers for civilians starting a rebellion.

Maybe they will come across the Zillo beast that was captured in Season 2 and let it out as a diversion or something

speaking of similarities to ashoka, omega leading a jailbreak reminded me of the time ashoka was captured and hunter for sport by the lizard guys, and ran into those younglings. always nice to see the young hero be a leader for the first time.

Great review as always, but I wanted to note one little thing that wasn't mentioned. Did you notice that the force sensitive kids are red, green and blue (RBG) and thus can represent any color? The last added child was not humanoid just to complete the supremecy of humans over all other races in the galaxy. Mildly interesting.

I love these recaps Every week they fascinate me

Thank you for being inclusive for the newbies.

Pigs don't sweat a lot at all, but they do sweat a little lol.

I kept waiting for a "your mom" joke when he was reading arabesh

I think Emerie’s scientist glasses will break just before she starts helping Omega escape. Not necessarily related to anything… just as a metaphor of her not seeing the Empire through “rose colored glasses” anymore 😉

10:48 Funnily this came up for me yesterday. The only animals that properly sweat are primates, horses and hippos. Pigs don't sweat.

Pigs don't sweat. "..is that true?" Yeah I dunno.. 😂

I can't help but notice that the bodies of those load lifter's look somewhat like a styled KX-series Security Droid, like K-2SO in Rogue One. The animators seen ti do this a lot when they have existing droid models, such as leftovers from the Clone Wars like the Clone Commandos, which makes me wonder if we'll either see KX Droids in the finale or somewhere in Tales of the Empire.

Thanks Ryan! Thanks, Lee! Thanks, Jeffrey! Thanks, Sean! 🛰

Thanks Ryan!

Love it another fringe reference! Cortextafan kids.

You can also see a few clone white clone pilots in this scene a few seconds later in the episode 13:03

You missed when omega took the tool, the way emery looked back when she took tray, and walked away, I think she knew omega took it

This episode showed how badass Omega is…and how much she learned from her brothers.

Firm believer that cx-2 is Tech. I also think Cody, with potentially a few other familiar faces, will be the new batch of CX troopers that hemlock said weren’t ready yet in a previous episode. The final episode will play out like “The Mandolorian” but instead of the finished dark troopers; it will be the new batch of cx troops being used to stop the Tantis assault.

Truly the best reviews 🎉

This show is so well written. Feels like live action. Actually better than most live action shows. Really well done.

Is the Bad Batch’s Gonk Droid dead, or did they leave him on Space Greece? We haven’t seen Gonky since the Havoc Marauder blew up.

Great breakdown. The shuttle brought by Echo is a Rho-class transport shuttle.

13:54 and honestly I've wanted that to be standard in Star Wars forever. Stormtroopers are people to.

Wowowowowow. A "Just Shoot Me" reference? You get me Ryan.

Love it love this channel man much love💙💙💯🤩💯

I love this humanization of soldiers and how it kind of undoes the bannalization of violence of the nineties.

Anyone else also thinking that Tantiss looks like High Charity from the Halo series (Place where the prophets from the Convenant are planning their Great Journey )

Wow that was quick

Dude the score has been amazing since season 1

Is it just me or did Emerie leave the tools out on purpose knowing Omega would grab one? Emerie seems too astute not to have noticed one missing.

Cool. That's a complete 360 on red shirts or brown pants, that white armour allows them to be found or seen

The center trench on the Death Star is not where the trench run took place. It's actually a docking area.

There's been something playing on my mind for a while now, and this is probably not the video to comment on it, but here I am anyway. You've mentioned in previous videos how babies and toddlers just using the force willy nilly makes no sense (and makes you angry), and I tend to agree, but... I've just started the Thrawn Ascendency trilogy (as recommended by you guys, thanks for the rec) and I keep thinking about the Skywalkers and their "third sight" which is heavily implied to be using the force to navigate the hyperspace chaos. The Skywalker role is given to children. They point out that third sight is usually gone by about fourteen. So maybe younglings being great with the force does make some sense (or is at least consistent)? Let's say people born with a high m-count are often able to display force abilities naturally when young, but lose that ability as they approach or hit puberty. But, having been sought out as younglings (for example, by the Jedi academy) they begin training to harness and therefore not lose (or even regain) their abilities to use the Force. Anakin was 9 at the height of his podracing career. Maybe, if he was never taken away, his career would have been over by the time he was a teenager, having naturally lost the latent force abilities that he was able to keep due to his Jedi training. In any case, it's interesting how these things that crop up accidentally (or through plot convenience) can be carefully brought into the canon to make sense. If you can suspend your disbelief long enough for someone to make it happen. Somehow, Palpatine returned, indeed.

The Clone Commandos are just Commandos. As we saw earlier in the Season when the Empire attacked Rex and Echo's base, they still use ARC Troopers, like Wolfe, and Clone Troopers in addition to Commandos and TK troopers
