The Bad Batch final was so good it cured my childhood trauma... 

Five things I really liked: 1. Rex didn’t show up with the Calvary, they stayed true to the show’s name and the Bad Batch was the Calvary. 2. Rampart stayed true to himself, an opportunist (they didn’t try to make him a hero). 3. While I knew Crosshair was going to make that shot, I still felt a great unease that he could miss…great buildup to that tension. 4. They didn’t make Omega force sensitive, at least I see nothing that suggests it. She’s a capable pilot trained by Tech and the rest of the Batch. 5. All the rumors and speculation that Tech had survived to become a Clone X were thankfully wrong. Tech died a hero’s death…Plan 99! What I’m still missing: an explanation as to Cody’s fate.

They never showed the ecological devastation caused on Tantiss in coming decades due to the Zillo beast, the biggest invasive species in galactic history

It really got me when Governor Tarkin’s flagship is an ISD while the other two are still Venators. Must be the first ship out of the line

Usually, it takes one blaster shot to kill someone. And considering Hemlock wasn't wearing any kind of armor, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he was probably already dead after at least the 2nd shot. Hunter & Crosshair just wanted to keep shooting the prick till he fell over 😅

The finale really subverted all the theories in the most satisfying way possible

The batch surviving makes techs sacrifice worth it

Literally my only complaint is how unceremoniously Scorch went out.

CONGRATS ON BECOMING A FATHER 🤌🏻

I actually almost cried when Crosshair was gonna sacrifice himself to save his brothers and his sister. Nala Say unaliving herself to get Project Necromancer taken offline was cool after the Empire corrupted what Kaminoan science gave to the galaxy

The ending was very satisfying, I was so worried they weren't going to pull it off but they did. I liked the Anti Batch, a "perfected" version of the Bad Batch. Seeing the clones making it out and living happily was amazing. And grown up Omega too! She goes off to help the Rebellion and she still has Tech's googles. They never forgot him.

I'm just impressed they had the cajones to keep Tech dead. Makes me miss him even more.

Two small details that were kinda cool Echo stuns the troopers in the hangar, instead of killing them in front of the kids. Crosshair's tremor was always in his right hand and he takes the pivotal shot with his left, using Hunter as a support.

I really loved that imperial star destroyer jumping out of hyperspace with 2 venators at the end with tarkin it shows that the empire military has started to take their usual imperial star destroyer

I’m sorry but I have to call attention to the fact that one Clone X CHOPPED OFF CROSSHAIR’S HAND and he never replaced it for the rest of the episode; I think he thinks of it as his penance Edit: congrats on being a father man! Best wishes for your family!

I think, if they had made it more adult, it would have taken away from the family element that the show has been highlighting for the entire series. And that's one thing Star Wars is all about...family.

I couldn’t hold back my emotion at the very end, they actually did it guys. Omega grew up safely the boys survived and the clones were freed, this is definitely one of the best things disney has ever made for Star Wars and I am upset they are gone. Though they had a long journey ! Wonderful show

Personally I would have had one or two more main characters die and that’s fine , BUT HOW DARE YOU NOT SHOW ME OLD MAN WRECKER !!!!!

Idk who will read this but as someone who was 8 when the clone wars came out and growing old with this show. At the end it made me feel like we were omega throughout the show . As she grows old and hunter tells her she can always come back and they will be there was like the show and all the memories of the clones we had as kids . It felt like all those story’s we played with clones as kids or all the times we just wanted to be a bad ass clone. And this felt like all of that coming together one last time. I remember sitting at my grandmas house watching and waiting for the clone wars and seeing this felt like a true end to the kids who loved the clones even more than the clone wars. I felt like this was the best ending we could have asked for.

Loved seeing the ISD arrive at the end. It felt like the clone wars era had truly ended.

Before DIsney took over, after the Clone Wars there wasn't much Clone lore. Most stayed on to serve the empire in a neutral evil way. Some joined their mandalorian cousins looking for a way to slow their aging. Some found their ways into the rebellion.

The ending of TBB is the most beautiful ending to a Star Wars animated and maybe live action show I have ever seen.

The timing for this video couldn't have fitted better, I just finished watching this amazing masterpiece

anyone remember that post that was circling around a few social medias "describe a movie plot poorly" or whatever that was? well "five bros who love guns, starships, explosions, and they also have a pretty awesome dog and they have to fly around the galaxy with their little sis who they must protect from evil scientists and space wizards" fits that pretty well

“I completely ship Emory and Echo” ummmmm arent they both clones and thus kinda siblings?!?! EDIT: oh yeah clones… worse than siblings…

The one that surprised me the most was with crosshair Throughout the series they kept emphasising his shaky hand Then they cut it off And he pulls off that shot with his left I was just oof I’m just thinking that, if his hand wasn’t cut off, would he have made that shot? That said, I have to say, things went hilariously well for them, on a normal day they were not making out of there alive lol

I think this is far and away the best of the serialized animated Star Wars shows. That said, no death will ever hit as hard as Kanan's did. Also, just because you briefly mentioned shipping Echo and Emerie Karr, I'm not sure I see it. But I do think Emerie Karr can get it.

Told you Crosshair wouldn't let Wrecker get himself killed. I'm glad the gang got a happy ending. Minus Crosshairs hand.

It was so good that now I really want to see what rebel Omega does next. Just like with Ahsoka and Ezra after their first shows ended

Thanks to the Bad Batch, Emperor Palpatine's return was delayed significantly. We know through the Vader comics that Palpatine has already set up secret cloning facilities on Exegol by the time of the rebellion, closely guarded by the Sith Eternal. However, the sacrifice of Nala Se, death of Hemlock, and loss of his data set back the Emperor's plans for immortality by decades. Even when we reach the Sequel Triology Palpatine's clone body is barely holding itself together. Had Hemlock been allowed to continue his work, then it could have been possible that Palpatine would have returned immediately with his Sith armada after the Battle of Endor.

8:47 woah woah woah woah buster hold on this is Star Wars not Alabama also on an unrelated note I can’t be the only one thinking old hunter looks just like big boss snake

I'm kinda upset Echo didn't get his armor back. It's still on the destroyed science ship, which they were right next to when they left Tantis. Thinking aboit this now. I actually wonder more if Tantis might be a new secert base for Rex. Sure, there's a giant monster running around the planet, but the Emprie never returns to former bases, and Im pretty sure they won't want to return if theres a lose Zilo

I wish I had this show when I was a kid. It reminds us all to be loyal and brave and to not give up

Animated Star Wars keeps hitting the mark with their finales. Can't wait for Tales of the Empire. Thankyou Bad Batch. You proved to me that it wasn't just my nostalgia for the Clone Wars that made me love this style of storytelling.

Perfect ending, finally a happy ending for clones, we barely have ever gotten that

YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER? CONGRATS MAN!

I know i missed a few uploads. There was a video introduction a while back where you said you "are very happy but i cant tell you guys about why" Congratulations on being a dad!

I cried, I'll be honest

THIS is why I love Gen Tech. Alan is the only one that discusses the emotional content of these shows and how they compare to real life. THANK YOU!!!

Seeing Omega all grown up, my god man that hit me, going off to fight for the rebellion, always the soldier and seeing hunter so old, and yet still ever himself, so much emotion

They managed to still keep that tension that was being built up, subvert expectations and make a satisfying ending in a very animated SW feel. I had vibes of watching the finale of rebels while watching this episode, as well as congrats on being a father dude!! I’ve been on the younger side of the prequel fans, but you really put into perspective on how the prequel fans have grown even since CW S7. SW like this truly makes me remember why I love this franchise so much and I’d honestly prefer them keep doing animated projects instead of LA shows, especially at the quality they have.

What you said at the end really hit home. Growing in the clone wars era will always be something I will be fond of.

Been refreshing you tube since this morning hoping for Alan's take on the finale. A new episode of star wars anything also means a new episode of Generation Tech and I'm not sure which I look more forward to at this point. That's how good this channel is.

You said it as Lucas once did - last the visuals, this is a story about family. And boy did it show that in the most incredible of ways. Crosshair had to lose his hand (identity and past trauma) in order to literally lean on those that love him most still brings me to tears.

God I loved this show. Hunter became my favorite clone & im glad he got a happy ending

It was good to see the clone troopers in one final battle. This episode was incredible, and I think this series is a wonderful example of how important a good strong theme is to a story

congratulations mate actually so happy for you no shadow of doubt you'll be a great dad all the best from Scotland

The character of Omega literally inspires me to keep going, to seek the best in people (and the world in general) and finding the right ones. I loved the ending.

I'm mainly happy that the Reg Clones escaped. I imagine hundreds or even thousands of other Regs were able to do the same on other facilities. I'm rooting for you guys. ^_^ Awesome video, my friend.

Omg yes he does like Jeremy Renner Also all this season was missing was Vin Diesel

Another great lesson both from the show and your take on it. You really are one of the most positive influences on the fandom.

Hunter and Omegas last conversation had me, a 25 year old grown man, crying. What a BEAUTIFUL conclusion to this amazing show. Well done 👏🏼

There's something in particular that really impressed me about this show from a writer's standpoint. Back when the Bad Batch arc of Clone Wars was coming out, I was always hearing things about how much the cast and crew loved these characters. It seemed a little weird to me at the time, but of course there was probably a lot of stuff they came up with for the Bad Batch that was going to be used in Clone Wars that was ultimately scrapped. What really impressed me with this show was how they were able to take these side characters that they, the writers, loved way more than most people in the audience did at the time, and then make us love them just as much as they do. I can't imagine how gratifying that must be for them.

okay I totally ship emery and echo too... but aren't they technically brother and sister? or you mean ship them in a way we see them working together?

this episode was amazing and came out at a perfect time for me, I really needed something like this to get my mind off of things. Almost the whole time I was immersed completely in the episode and was able to distracted me from everything. It's one of the few times within the last month I was truly able to escape reality and just enjoy something.

My daughter is four now, we've been watching bad batch together since the start. Thank you for watching with us and the insightful posts. We've loved "popcorn and Star Wars night" and i really appreciate the introspection of your program. One starwars dad to another, May the Force be with you.

Congrats on becoming a dad. It was definitely an emotional finale and I was pleasantly surprised that the Batch survived. It was also a pleasant surprise to see the time skip at the end and Omega going off to join the Rebellion.

Thanks, Allen, congrats, and I look forward to whatever your next video turns out to be.

I expected (and still do) a lot of people to whine and complain that it's an almost happy ending, none of the actual batchers die at least. But the more I think about it the more I'm happy that someone in Star Wars finally got a damn happy ending. All the OT heroes lived decades of sadness, Obi-Wan suffered for decades Padme died never raising her kids Anakin... well yeah. The clones were tossed aside like nothing, Ahsoka lost everything, Kanan died before he even knew he had a son, Ezra got lost for years, Rey spent her life alone, Finn got fucked by the writers, you know. NO ONE seems to just live happily ever after, it's good we got at least enough of a glimpse into the future to know they're alive that many years later. Sure there may be adventures we don't know but they're alive and able to retire eventually. It's nice

congrats on fatherhood! Ive been following your channel for a while, and I really enjoy your perspectives. thanks for what you do.

This series was a work of art. Unbelievable that Disney was able to make something like this in this times... Kudos to the team behind it.

I will realy miss bad batch it helped me when times were hard s2 was hard on poor tech 😢 it was so hard to wait s3 now that it is over it feels good but same time bad. Final episode was so dark and sad I welt so bad when Hunter wrekker and crosshair got captured😢 I feel so bad for crosshair for losing his hand 😢😢 clone force 99 u are the best❤

YES i just waited for you're video man, love yah work.

Yo, Allen my man! Haven't posted for a while, but just gotta say CONGRATULATIONS on that little daughter of yours!! May the gods bless her, and you and mom. Always love your content dude, for my money you are the brightest star in the SW YT galaxy. Your insights and reflections always worth listening to, many thanks. MTFBWY always.

They did such a good job of keeping the audience on pins and needles...I really felt like at any moment, any of the batch could die. The fate of Tech looms, and that was definitely the right call for the show. Really great ending to a great show.

That finally was the goat my Bois!

Allen you just cant seem to miss ha i definitely agree with ya , such a great series ,, may forth here we come !!!

I liked how Echo, Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair all instantly know, when the Zillo beast breaks out of the base, that it was Omega’s handy work, but with Echo telling Emery that it’s exactly what he would have done in her shoes. But what I want to know about the timeskip scene is, when during the Rebellion does she join it? Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, or closer to the Battle of Endor?

Bad Batch: we're fighting to escape the fighting and give the kid a peaceful life! Omega: I'm joining the rebellion! 😐

Crosshair was right though CF 99 did die with Tech as loseing him ment they wasn't a team as they lost a team member.

@GenerationTech, I may miss your Bad Batch videos the most! Incisive yet concise. No one else has such unique insight about the show, the business, and society at large like you. Hope you do some Tales of the Empire vids! Keep up the great work. 👍

I literally teared up at the end 🥹🥹🥹 this series was a 10/10

Haha "creepy Jeremy Renner". Now I see it😂

Emerie Karr is so underrated

Dude did you just reveal to us that you're a father!!!!??? Congrats, I've been watching since 2016. I fell off the last 3 years but have been coming back to Star Wars, man Humanity first

when the bad batch was released i watched series 1 from a hospital id been in for over a year, which was a really bad time in my life. i saw myself in echo especially and the show has helped me so much. now it’s ended i’m sad but it was such good closure and great to see the character arcs as my own life has changed, im no longer in hospital, etc. i love the show and i feel like they did it justice with the ending

The batch went through the ringer with this one

So what was really the point of having Ventress appear in the show to begin with? They more or less could have done this season without her.

Thank YOU for this episode! It was amazing!

Now I want a "Rex" show that is focused on the Clone Underground, and an "Omega" show Focusing on her Story as a Rebel Pilot. The Finale sets up both so well

Funny enough the so callled tech shadow soldier theories, well he got impaled by hunter i laughed like a maniac. Edit: gotta feel bad for nalase death at the hand of rampart despite being betrayed by the empire he still wants to go there lmao she was smart to get a grenade

Congrats Dad!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏Patience your new best friend. Can’t wait for our next series together 👊✌️💯

I just realized they kind of done the same story with the Mandalorian. Kidnapping Grogu like twice. Using him for his M-Count. Keep the child safe from imperial madmen lol

Allen congrats on the offspring man. Hope you can somehow manage to keep delivering this amazing content and raising a child. Good luck to you my man!

Dude you have a daughter Congrats, i bet you'll be a great father and will care for her The zillo beast escaping was the peak moment i was waiting for and honestly my favorite part I was also glad to see that Emerie ended up going to Pabu taking the kids witj her, i was relieved as i was wondering if she was gonna leave with them in the end

Now we need live action Omega. If she was a rebel pilot then she could show up in any Mando era show. She should be around the same age as Ezra and Sabine.

Aweeee I know you are and will continue to be a wonderful dad to your daughter! Congratulations!

Great episode but the defense on the zillo beast was hilarious. One turret when the needed dozens in clone wars and sending divisions of stormtroopers to kill it? They have a bunch of clone commandos and thorough security for the kids but 3 storm troopers to hold down an entire Zillo beast.

Could you please make a video on the ecosystem of Dathomir

You SHIP Emerie and Echo. They are both Fett clones!

Congratulations! Becoming a parent is the best thing to happen to me.

When this show started, I was just starting college. Now I’m about to graduate and enter the next phase of my life. I’ve always looked forward to watching this show and I’m really going to miss it.

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I sort of didn’t like how it cut to them being older, even though I think it was a great finale

Beautiful story Allan, may God bless you and your wonderful family

Good job ,thank you my Daughter and I Love this season

Too bad we didn't see any Commandos get redeemed. I feel like Emerie Karr could have had the potential to save Scorch. But lets be honest the real Clone Commandos would have stolen the show.

I loved this ending of the show, it was so good. Seeing Omega with her family and especially when she left to go join the rebellion pulled on my heart strings. I hated so many episodes of this show but I am so sad to see it end even though at the same time I am so glad that it ended because things need to end so we can move on the new things. Lowkey though, hyped for Tales of the Empire.

Congratulations on becoming a father! I wish the best for you, your daughter, and your family.

😢speechless n your video i thank you for sharing this and saying exactly what think about every week when I watch batch and people tell another star wars n i saw this isnt like that its about child and support for each other just your video brings Tears out and congrats your daughter and i thank you for your time on your reviews till we meet again amen and and god bless you all🙏🙏

Beautifully said. ♥
