I really liked the premiere. A few small things were weird, like how quickly Order 66 happened after Tech announced Kenobi engaged Grievous (I thought more time should've passed) and Kanan's voice being a little awkward. But honestly those are nitpicks and I don't have any major complaints. I expected to be annoyed by the Bad Batch like I was in S7 of TCW, but they're starting to grow on me. Yes, they have some cringe dialogue at times, but I find them to be a lot of fun. Plus the era works super well to follow these characters and explore new things as the galaxy transitions to the Empire.
Omega looks like she'll be a good addition to the main crew and she wasn't annoying thankfully. It seems a little obvious she's Force sensitive, but from the clone POV it wouldn't be based on what we saw so far. Hunter is probably my favorite member, but I'm interested to see how they handle Crosshair. This premiere really packed a lot in without feeling rushed, forced, or bogged down. This demonstrates Filoni and Co. nailing down this concept after their trial run with TCW movie 13 years ago.

Hopefully we get to see more of Saw, didn't really expect to see him this early. I think his character can fit really well into some stories connected to the Bad Batch.
AZ's inclusion was a good touch, too. There's really good potential for lots of established characters to appear naturally, but I'd like to see some more original ones as the show continues so it doesn't make the galaxy feel smaller.

I really hope we see more droid remnants going forward and not just empire and stuff. But honestly the fact that this will be a more linear storyline might be good in the sense that it leaves room for more content in this time period like underworld and stuff. With TCW you can’t really go back and make another show between episodes 2 and 3 because TCW is much more inclusive to all plot lines I think you can make a TV show set during the Clone Wars though... as long as you avoid Anakin, Obi-wan and Ahsoka. |

Honestly the animation is really good, like on that first planet I really noticed an improvement in the environment (trees and stuff) Yeah, the animation was definitely impressive... I am glad they stuck with the TCW style and actually improved it rather than downgrade it like Rebels did. |

My main complaint is, like Mav said, that these characters are cliche stereotypes... and I think Hunter especially kind of looks ridiculous. Also I think I found an error in this episode. Tech tells the other clones the Kaminoan woman told Tarkin there were 5 defective clones and since Echo isn't one of them that means Omega is... The problem is that Tech wasn't there when Tarkin and the Kaminoans had that conversation... He's a Rambo cosplay clone with a half skull tattoo (or camo paint?). If that's not ridiculous I don't know what is  Yeah, I noticed that too. He wasn't even spying, so either there's something we're not getting, or that's a major writing bullet in the foot... I actually rewatched, this isn’t a mistake. Yes Tarkin has a conversation with the doctor and prime minister but later when Tarkin address the squad he says “Nala sae speakers very highly of her 5 enhanced clones, she says you are more capable than an army”. Somehow this fooled Tarkin cause Echo isn’t enhanced. Still, Tech makes a lot of assumptions by concluding Nala Sae said it in a way that implied Echo was not included... because Echo is definitely enhanced as well, just in a different way. |

I don't like the way the clones act by the way. I get that they have these inhibitor chips, but that should just have been for Order 66... they should stay themselves and just stay loyal to the Empire for their own reasons. Because, with a few exceptions, most clones probably don't care anyway.

Well, Tech may not have picked up that info on Grievous immediately, he was in a battle before that anyway, so it could have been an old message he intercepted. Kanan's voice was ridiculously bad... that has to be the biggest voice acting mistake in any Star Wars animation... Omega actually wasn't as bad as I thought she would be. I don't think we need to have her running around all the time, but she is not annoying like most children running along with the main characters in TV shows are. So that is good at least. |

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but Crosshair's armor makes him look like an early version of what will become Death Troopers. That could be interesting if he becomes the first soldier to embody them.
Also the droids Tarkin used with live fire are probably the first generation of Dark Troopers. They looked too similar to not be related I think.

Because, with a few exceptions, most clones probably don't care anyway. I agree that the random clones seemed a little off, but I think that the inhibitor chips might have increased their aggression. Plus we're also seeing the clones from the Bad Batch's perspective, and it's obvious regular clones don't like them. But I don't think the clones will remain for very long. Tarkin clearly doesn't like them because they're too expensive. I'm wondering if the Empire will wipe them out, or Kamino itself, to make way for their human recruits. |

Because, with a few exceptions, most clones probably don't care anyway. I think that would be kinda hard to do though like if they returned to normal after killing the Jedi, and remembered doing so, they would all probably feel pretty fucked up. And unlikely to remain loyal. I think they still need some kind of conditioning post order 66. But their behavior is still kinda confusing to me. Like they don't feel the same as before but they're not like robots either, they do seem to have like self awareness and independent thought. I guess like Star said their aggression just went up as well as their disposition to follow orders I'm not sure if it was intentional, but Crosshair's armor makes him look like an early version of what will become Death Troopers. That could be interesting if he becomes the first soldier to embody them. Also the droids Tarkin used with live fire are probably the first generation of Dark Troopers. They looked too similar to not be related I think. Yeah I saw the death trooper idea too that could be interesting. I've also heard the Elite Squad from the trailer that he's in charge of are the first non-clone soldiers so that's another hint towards death troopers maybe I think those droids are supposed to be the same as the sentries from Rebels that Thrawn was sparring with. But it's true they do look like dark troopers. I think that's what they were inspired by in Rebels and then Mando also used that design. But in Mando they were Phase III and completely droids implying the first two generations had humans or cyborgs inside the suits (backwards from EU). So these sentries can't be dark troopers since they're already droids. It'd make sense for legends continuity but not canon I think |

A show before TPM with Qui-Gon, Dooku and Kenobi would be cool though, although I get the impression Dooku and Kenobi never really met before AOTC |

So since we got 16 episodes confirmed and this is almost certainly a series and not a one off season, just a few things I want to see..
- Crosshair return to the squad, I’m certain this will happen tbh
- Stormtroopers and how Clones get phased out
- Fate of Commander Cody and why he’s not in Rebels
- I wouldn’t mind seeing Rex as a reoccurring cameo, it makes a lot of sense tbh for a few years after ROTS but I don’t want to see Ahsoka much, I’m sure we will see her once though probably this season when we see Rex first
- Mandalore in the early stages of the empire, pretty sure this will happen since Bad Batch will likely become free lancers
- Bounty Hunters, specifically Cad Bane, I’m hoping Filoni realizes the chances of his original plans for that arc are not gonna happen
- Droid/ Separatists remnants, I’m hoping we get to see some aftermath from TCW
- Thrawn at some point, I know atm there’s no chance for him to be in the picture but it would be cool if he was the one that beats them later
- Jedi survivors and how they react/ interact with the Bad Batch
What I Don’t want to see:
- Maul
- Kenobi, although I guess there’s a way this can reasonably done as a one off since we know the Bad Batch will be on Tatooine at some point, but I’d rather not
- Keep Vader to a minimum please... he will definitely appear at some point
- Said above but keep Ahsoka to a minimum
- No early formations of a real Rebellion, it’s way too early and would contradict the stuff with Bail and Mon Mothma in Rebels
- Preferably no Inquisitors but it’s likely to happen

It could even be like at the end of this season though personally I'd prefer seeing clone armor until like the end of season 2. Assuming there is a second season... Yeah we need Cody that was a huge missed opportunity for Rebels. Not sure if we'll see him die or something though there's rumors he'll be in the Kenobi show but idk. We should be seeing Wolffe and Gregor too. Hondo and stuff like Droid Gotra would be cool as well I really want to see purge troopers and I wouldn't mind more of the Inquisitorious actually. We could see it being created. But it is kinda tricky because this isn't a Jedi focused show so there's no real need for inquisitors to show up. As for Vader I think he should make an appearance eventually but then again if he didn't I think it would make sense. If he shows up he needs to actually kill someone though. In Rogue One, Fallen Order, and Rebels, he's let the main characters get away and if it happens again it will make him look really bad. |

If he’s in the Kenobi show he’s probably just in a flashback with Anakin as well. I’d like to see how Rex forms up with Wolfe and Gregor, honestly all those guys helping out the Bad Batch makes a lot of sense IMO, I could see Rex having a decent and applicable role in this show and I’m perfectly ok with that, it actually makes more sense than Rebels imo although I was fine with his role in that as well. Well the inquisitorious gets established right after ROTS according to the Vader comics, I could see Tarkin dispatching one to hunt the Bad Batch once Crosshair eventually fails/ probably gets his chip removed and return to the squad |

Longer episodes than TCW, wonder if that will stay consistent.
Wasn’t a bad episode tbh, was actually nice seeing Cut and Su again. I’m pretty glad we are getting a lot of locations too, Salucamei looked really good/ improved since season 2 of TCW. Honestly Omega isn’t that annoying, so she’s already starting pretty strong for a character that should develop.
The empire is progressing pretty fast too

Kinda felt like filler but tbh what even is the overall story supposed to be? This show feels like a blend of TCW, Rebels, and Mando. TCW animation and worldbuilding, Rebels writing, and Mando themes like taking care of a kid.
I expected Cut to actually do something. It kinda felt like an excuse to just show Cut again, which I'm glad they did, but what exactly happened in this episode? They went to Saleucami and then the whole episode was just them trying to leave lol. I still enjoyed it though. It's cool seeing basically the Empire but with clones. It would've been dope to see Neyo but might've been kinda weird since they all seem to have plain white armor now. I really didn't expect the planet to have any urban locations, it's cool they fleshed that out. And I like Omega a lot more than I thought I would.
Also the guy in the hologram is Vice Admiral Rampart. They made a toy of him so I feel like he will have a bigger role later on. But yeah it's really hard to tell where this show is going. The premiere didn't really set up anything. I guess it's basically going to be like Mando season 1 but with a bigger main cast. Maybe they will try to find Rex next but again what is their goal? Whatever I just want to see Bracca

Then again, I can understand right after the war we have management wondering whether clones are the best way for the army to go forward. |

Enjoyable episode, but it did feel a little like filler. I'm not exactly sure why they went to Cut if this is all that comes of it, but it was nice to see some more outcomes of the Empire's rise. Definitely looking forward to what comes next, and I'm honestly impressed with how likable Omega is so far. She has potential to be a good character if they keep this up.

Yeah, this had filler written all over it. I wasn't much bothered about seeing Cut again, but it makes sense given the premise. Again, I'm more interested in the most Clone Wars, early Empire world building. We now have backstory for Luke being asked about identification at Mos Eisley Also, those helmets must make you half blind if you literally can't recognise your own face lol Guess Rex is their next guest star to reach and I suspect Crosshair and his own squad chasing them are likely popping up soon, but I don't know, I kinda want a bit more plot interest... Also, Hunter and Omega have such Joel and Ellie vibes |

So going back to the first episode, the Kanan scene was pretty different from what they did in the comics. Even stuff like Captain Grey's armor and Depa's saber color were wrong. In the big picture these things are rather minor and inconsequential but it really bothers me they continue to do this. Canon doesn't exist anymore for Lucasfilm. We even have Pablo Hidalgo making cheap excuses for the story group's incompetence by saying contradictions are results of unreliable narration...
Once again I have to wonder what the point of the story group is if they cannot maintain a consistent canon. Once again I have to wonder why the "messy" Legends was decanonized in favor of a new canon that would not be taken seriously. But this isn't just about the SG, it also shows Filoni's arrogance. How many times has he completely ignored EU material? Even in TCW like as much as I love it, they didn't even try to accommodate the EU. Clearly Filoni just doesn't give a fuck about consistency, at least regarding books/comics, and feel his animation/live action media is above it all.

I don't know what the point of Hidalgo's job is any more considering how much they've been contradicting their own canon. I mean, I know live action media will take precedent, but it's pretty sad that when you seesomething like that Kanan comic have that "Canon" label, it's actually lying In recent times there's been moments in books and comics where they contradict previous material (the latest Vader comic's been doing that), which makes me think Disney is still sort of attempting some subtle damage control after their central pillars (i.e. the Sequels) kinda collapsed. I'm not sure if George was also not that bothered with the EU (I mean, is the creator really going to adhere to stuff that basically fanfiction to him? ), which explains why TCW never coalesced with the comics and books based in the same era. That said, that Quinlan Vos arc was clearly a sign they were going to lean into the EU more. |

The stuff with the Empire was pretty cool, I think this episode established that we won’t necessarily be following the main squad the entire time. I’m pretty interested in the Kaminoan plot line, pretty sure it will back fire and they will get wiped out or something.

I'm surprised they did an A story B story structure, I don't think they've done that before in other shows. The Kamino plot line was obviously the more interesting one. Shit got dark pretty fast though lol. I thought Crosshair was pretty badass in this one. I'm guessing Rampart will replace Tarkin on the show now which I like because I'm sure Tarkin has other things to tend to. All the Kamino worldbuilding is so great though I'm very interested in seeing where it goes. Maybe their superior clone is one that's Force sensitive and Omega is that experiment? But they seemed to imply the whole Bad Batch was actually an experiment and not defective units and any one of them can be used for their plans. Well whatever they do I hope it's not connected to the sequels/TROS/Palpatine...
The Batch storyline wasn't that exciting but still had some nice wholesome character moments. I think Omega's going to be another successful character like Ahsoka and Grogu. But tbh I'm more interested in the 6th member of the crew, GONK 👀

I also found the comment about the enhanced clones interesting cause if they only need one, they already got Crosshair. I saw a theory that Omega might not be force sensitive and she just has the abilities of every Bad Batch member combined... like how she showed up Crosshair in episode one with a Blaster. |

The episode began a little slow, but once they introduced the second plot with Kamino it got much better. Really interested to see how that unfolds in the coming weeks, especially with the Kaminoans desperately trying to remain relevant and powerful as the Empire grows. Not too much happened with the Bad Batch portion, but it added some really nice character moments. Like Kenbo said, I think Omega is definitely headed down a similar path as Ahsoka in terms of likability.
Executing the civilians was a dark turn, but I like how Crosshair strictly follows orders compared to the conscripted soldiers. Tarkin's comments at the end also make me think we'll be seeing clones at least until the end of S1 or early S2, which might coincide with the next time Tarkin shows up.

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
