This plot is too much like the Mandalorian though...
But I am glad Bane is alive... When they said they were going to bring in another bounty hunter I knew it could be him... and then that voice suddenly... I guess he canonically didn't die in that cancelled TCW arc now. But he still might die in this show which would be unfortunate. Perhaps they will keep him alive though, they need some existing characters to rely on, and most are dead or exiled at this point in the timeline.
Also nice that they used a remixed version of his TCW theme.

Maybe Bane can be in the Kenobi show actually... He does have a grudge against Obi-wan and there is no reason they couldn't have met between Episode 3 and 4... and you would likely find him on Tatooine.

Bane's last on screen appearance was almost 10 years ago...

Mando made the space western idea very popular and Bane is definitely a western inspired character. I also wouldn't mind if his duel with Boba never happens. Not a fan of Bane getting killed by kid Boba and also a basic blaster bolt denting Boba's Beskar doesn't really make sense. Unless his helmet isn't Beskar I guess Bane's last on screen appearance was almost 10 years ago... Seeing him again was almost like a Mando Luke moment lol. Not quite as much emotional weight for me though |

Bane's quote about having figured out all the clones makes me think they are still going to do the Boba fight.

Not quite as much emotional weight for me though Live action would most likely be Book of Boba Fett or Kenobi... but he would be kind of old in the former, and the latter means he has to survive. Though I am not sure how well Bane would work in live action, Duros kind of look weird in the movies. But yeah, I agree the fight doesn't have to happen... at least not in this era. Maybe in the OT or post-OT era though. |

Good episode, and Bane's inclusion made it even better. Really glad they aren't sticking to his intended death from TCW and are at least keeping him alive for now. I'd love for Bane to appear some more, but I'm not sure there's a purpose if he drops Omega back off at Kamino immediately after this. Maybe they'd run into him if the Bad Batch sticks to mercenary work, but not sure what else would warrant his inclusion.
Guess they're going to have Crosshair's face covered with burn marks or scars now. Seems a bit overkill but maybe it'll look cool. Also I'm guessing the Kaminoan's contingency plan is Force sensitive clones, assuming Omega is Force sensitive. Can't imagine what other reason they'd have for wanting Omega back so badly in relation to their scheming.
Pretty eventful episode, but that makes sense given it's the halfway point. Hopefully the next few episodes aren't filler and will actually continue the Empire/Kamino plots.

One of the head producers said “If you think you know what happens in the next episode, you don’t”. I’m actually a little surprised they brought Bane in this early but it makes a lot of sense, as soon as the Kaminoans said Bounty Hunters (plural) I figured either Cad Bane or Embo was on the table here. Fennec is too much of a novice at this point in time.
I really liked the stand-off, the music was excellent and even seeing Todo again was pretty cool. I’m like 90% certain the next episode will be unrelated to the main plot though. Only scenes we haven’t seen so far are the AT-TE on Raxus from the trailers. Also I really don’t think Bane is taking Omega to Kamino, that just doesn’t make sense for the Kaminoans IMO they probably have a backup base somewhere.
And the fact that we saw Bane and Crosshair in the same episode gives somewhat plausible reason for the Bad Batch to think that Bane and Fennec aren’t hired by the Kaminoans cause as far as the Batch knows they are working for the Empire still.

Did Hunter actually remove his chip tho I wonder? He doesn’t have his hair cut... I’m assuming it’s just underneath his headband.
Also the scenes of first person Hunter were cool, some republic commando stuff there I think

It was also there at the end of last week's episode when he was talking with Rex. |

I saw a theory on Reddit now that Crosshair and Omega might both be on Kamino, maybe omega will team up with AZ and try and remove Crosshairs chip while he’s wounded. Wouldn’t be a bad twist

So... apparently there is a hint about the Bounty Hunter arc in the Cad Bane concept art for Bad Batch. {Spoiler}Apparently, Bane's concept art shows him with a piece of metal covering part of his head. It basically looks like his head has been repaired.
This implies that the standoff with Boba already happened and Bane got shot in the head, but survived with cybernetic enhancements. |

Well this just got interesting... There were some cool visuals and I'm glad we're finally getting the plot moving (some of these recent episodes have been so pointless). Pretty cool to see Bane back and as for whether the bounty hunter arc still happened, I'd say it's possible they'll do it through this show. The concept art could point to otherwise, but since it's concept art, the general idea may have changed. Depends on whether we'll see Bane's head for proof lol

Seeing Bane saying how he thinks he's got all clones figured out is just absolute death foreshadowing though Yeah I was thinking that too. And about the head plate, I think it'd be weird for him to say that after being defeated by Boba But honestly I really don't see them recreating that scene. Maybe he and Boba will fight maybe Bane will even die to him but it might be done differently. I can't imagine them showing Bane in a second western duel after Hunter. At least not in this show |

Whether it's as a hero or a villain, I'm not sure, but given his appearance in Mando, I reckon it could be more hero if anything. |

Honestly I was expecting Omega to be gone for awhile, and wasn’t really expecting Bane again this episode. First of all he does have the metal part on the entire left side of his head so somehow he survived his likely encounter with Boba Fett. I kinda wonder who helped him though, must have been one of the other hunters.
Fennec showing up again isn’t much of a surprise, I don’t really like that they are trying to push her to be in this time period though, it’s a bit too early for her. But the plot of the episode itself was decent since I was kinda wondering why Fennec even wanted the kid at that point if she had the credits. I’m guessing she was literally willing to do the trade with Bane but Bane was too skeptical. Also would be out of character for him to give up a bounty like that I guess.
Also guessing Bane didn’t contact the prime minister cause that would kinda unravel everything.

So I was kinda right about Omega, she’s an unaltered clone. And they mentioned Boba here so I’m sure he’s gonna appear at some point now, probably not his season though. Also... Taun We  |

Mixed feeling about this episode. There was quite a lot I liked. It was nice they continued with Bane as I honestly didn't expect him to be seen again immediately or have such a big role. And I loved the Kaminoan's abandoned cloud facility. Like we had no idea they operated outside of Kamino. The Kaminoan lore is so fascinating honestly and it's great they're fleshing it out.
However I didn't like how much Bane was struggling against amateur Fennec... And Todo feels a little too incompetent for Bane to keep him around. Like Bane should've just destroyed him after how many things he fucked up in this episode lol. Also I absolutely hate that they killed Taun We... Like I got excited when I saw her. She was never in TCW and they even got the AOTC actress back for this. But she literally got one line and they killed her... She should've been a main character in the Kaminoan plot. I think she was basically like Jango's handler so it would've been cool to have that connection.
But interesting that Omega is basically Boba's "sister". Though she feels younger than him idk. So now I'm wondering if Omega will show up in Book of Boba... Or at least a reference. Guess it depends how far back they came up with Omega

Given Bane's fight with Fennec I think they may be setting him up for an appearance in Book of Boba Fett later this year. If Fett is going to be the protagonist, we need an antagonist... and Bane would fit right in. He might be old by then, but maybe Duros age differently. |

I think he will be more of a hero though, even the unfinished TCW arc showed him as a 'good' bounty hunter (compared to the others). I don't know if he and Bane would be enemies though. Bane did manage to escape after the fight, despite being shot in the head. It seems likely that Boba let him escape, maybe even helped him out of respect. Bane apparently trained Boba during the arc, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched. The duel could be enough to settle their argument. But who knows... |

Also guessing Bane didn’t contact the prime minister cause that would kinda unravel everything. Why? From Bane's point of view Fennec was there to steal his bounty. There is no reason for him to know that Fennec was working for someone else. Okay, maybe it is suspicious that Fennec found the Kaminoan meeting spot... but still she tracked Omega before. |

Yeah I've been making up some head canon for Bane. So the clones line is because he doesn't count Boba as a clone. And his coolness during the Hunter duel even though he lost to Boba is because ever since that defeat he's been making himself better. As for him getting embarrassed by Fennec... I guess even pros have some bad days occasionally? Idk lol.. For Book of Boba I saw a rumor that Fett is going after people that wronged him. I don't think it would be that hard to fit in Bane. Normally I don't like when characters cross eras but I have less of a problem with aliens because as you said their aging could be different |

Jeez this episode did Tuan We way dirtier than Bane. At least there's some excuses you could have for him being slightly off his usual game. Here, she turns up, says one line and gets shot offscreen. Major drop of the ball on Dave's part. I remember in Legends, she had more of a bond with Boba, basically being the closest thing to a mother figure (even if was still distant). Feels like they missed a lot of opportunities with not going down that route.
Still, the action was good and it's nice we're finally moving through the main plot instead of some extra side quest.

Being shot in the head must have done at least some damage to his brain. With that kind of head shot, it's kind of a miracle he's still got fine motor control So maybe it has made his thinking and temper less slick. |

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