You guys think they’ll replace the trooper that Crosshair killed for insubordination?

^^OMG YES

^Possibly.

Call me pessimistic, but a part of me really thinks that Saw Gerrera and his men are only “protecting” refugees because in his mind the Empire wouldn’t kill civilians, a belief that has been utterly dashed I’m sure. My evidence for this is that Saw and his terrorist band had no qualms with killing civilians in every other appearance they had thus far set after the Clone Wars, let alone protecting them. I think Gerrera is going off of his Clone Wars experience in which the Republic’s military consistently attempted to keep civilian casualties at a minimum and would go as far as to adopt ulterior strategies when human shields are employed, Saw thinks the Empire would continue this policy.

Think about it these refugees really can’t be resettled without the constant guidance of Saw’s goons? Why not drop them off on a reasonably developed planet where land is cheap and where resources are at least in abundance for tolerable living? It’s not like there are a shortage of relatively safe planets in the Star Wars Galaxy, don’t get me wrong these refugees most assuredly won’t be living in luxury but anything is better then a war zone which tagging along Saw’s Insurgents is guaranteed to be. I think Saw knew this and was attempting to utilize the refugees as a tool against the Empire with the foreknowledge that the Republic, now Empire, is more sensitive when civilian shields are involved. A mindset that has been debunked which is most likely why he abandoned this whole “We protect civilians” schtick.

^Good points. Knowing Saw, he is using others to further his own agenda.

@Diamond O'Connel I don't think Saw Gerrera started out using extreme methods. it's just that over the course of the next decade he came to realize that the only way to beat the Empire would be to use for more extreme methods if I had to guess he began to use more extremist methods sometime between 13 BBY and 6 BBY.

The Bad Batch went to Coruscant and there they met the female Trandoshan that we saw in the trailer. The Bad Batch asked her if she has any info about the location of Captain Rex. She said that she will told it to them if they'll eliminate Fennec Shand.

They agreed and chased the Bounty Hunter. Eventually they destroyed Fennec's Speeder but unknown to them, Fennec survived and escaped. The female Trandoshan told them the location of Rex and The Bad Batch flew the Planet. When they arrived at the location they found Rex and talked with him about the inhibitor chips but suddenly, 3 Nu Class shuttles landed and Crosshair and his Elite Squad arrived.

@Mrhawkprime I would agree with you if Saw hadn’t had to be reined in by Ahsoka after the death of his Sister. He was already content with extremism and appeared, at least to me, to have only moderated his tactics to maintain the Republic’s material support.

Well, I just saw the episode today. Life's really busy these days. Anyway, let's begin.

Why is Tech so stupid? I couldn't stand his character very well at first, but now he's constantly saying "I told you so" without actually having told them in the first place.

Why did Hunter not bring a bigger blaster when he went hunting the dragon? Secondly, why bring Omega? I hope she doesn't tag along during future firefights. Why didn't he shoot the dragon immediately? Why didn't she shoot it? If you're going to shoot 'regs', you may as well shoot non-sentient animals.

I was enjoying the operation on Onderon. Every move the troopers made was on point, killing the pilot was a breath of fresh tactics. What happened after the firefight, that sucked.

Is Crosshair going to be killing off every one of his troopers with a brain cell? The mission wasn't to wipe out all life, it was to wipe out all of Gerrera's fighters, which they did successfully. I was afraid this chip storyline was going to completely cheapen his character development.

This episode was probably the worst yet for me. With the exception of the firefight, every single main character made stupid decisions. I hope this trend doesn't continue.

@OmegaFramework I feel the same way on the scene where they executed those civilians, it comes off as a cheap way to remind us that the Empire is evil but it reeks of incompetence, a better way to show the evils of the Empire and maintain Imperial competence is to have the civilians tortured (some even to death) during Imperial “line of questioning”. We’ve seen this played out in the Clone Wars before, why not again? This episode, like some previous clone wars episodes was sort of a dud, not bad by any means but not on the same caliber as late season Clone Wars and previous Bad Batch episodes. I’m sure that this is just a hiccup and that the rest of the series would be of consistent quality.
