In the dark disciple book it appears that she was fatally wounded by Dooku in order to save Quinlan Vos, this happened during the last year of the Clone Wars

"Oh Ventress, Cad Bane, and Palpatine are in this season and it'll at least be over after this. I guess I'll give it anogher go despite over half of the show being crap so far." - A good number of Star Wars fans that grew up on Clone Wars

they probably still have some cameo hidden

Of course they do. It's Star Wars

I'm betting on Gregor and Wolffe. Or did they already bring in Gregor? Most of this shit is so forgettable.

I see I see
books have always been second tier on the canon hierarchy tho so not surprised
and hell even in the movies maul got chopped in half and palpatine somehow returned

Yup. Forgettable.

They need Bossk too. Bossk the goat

Stupid lizard person

Bossk is cool
Would've been so cool to see a show about what happens in the Comics
Like War of The Bounty Hunters en stuff like that
So much more interesting than most of the shows
Just too dark for Disney I guess

Only commando in the show to show any real competence. The others get taken out by a judo flip from Hunter or a punch. 
. Meanwhile Scorch is actually using that training and skill.
If the whole squad was there....
GG bad batch.

Yeh
I appreciate that
They’re not an OP group of characters
Just folks trying to survive with their training

Appreciate the bad batch aren't OP or that the commando's aren't?
misty geyser
No worries. In some ways they sometimes can be imo, but I guess compared to who they're primarily fighting against (people of lower skills and training levels), it makes sense.

If you’re going to be an antagonistic group of characters then there’s 0 point in appreciating how easily they get cut down

True.
My only shred of unhappiness is the commando's getting knocked down or out so easily with Katarn-Class armor.
Stuff takes so much damage and the skill level of the commando's probably isn't equal, but it should definitely be a little higher imo

Yeah but at this point that could mean anything
But who knows
Maybe she's some force nightsister spirit thing

Flashback maybe
nah, the lightsaber is all wrong

nah, the lightsaber is all wrong
Wdym
valid raptor
in dark disciple she built a new lightsaber with a straight hilt, she eventually lost it
in bad batch she has one of her old lightsabers, but its now yellow
additionally, they sell the first lightsaber at disney world
mossy vault
in dark disciple she built a new lightsaber with a straight hilt, she eventually...
Huh
Good eye
serene kestrel
Hmm
valid raptor
and her outfit is all different etc
plus they've specifically made note that they're not changing the book
serene kestrel
So they are just yappin...
valid raptor
they didnt do this with say, the ahsoka novel
serene kestrel
plus they've specifically made note that they're not changing the book
Thats impossible though
valid raptor
how
prime pagoda
Bad batch takes place later than Dark Disciple in the timeline
valid raptor
and?
serene kestrel
There is no way thats a zombie
valid raptor
its either gonna be ressurrection because nightsisters, or she faked her death as a callback to the EU
prime pagoda
I don't believe it either but it would be funny
valid raptor
prime pagoda
How did she "die"
serene kestrel
valid raptor
prime pagoda
In the EU I meant
valid raptor
"I heard you died in a novel"
"yeah well i wasnt in that novel"
valid raptor
How did she "die"
shot in the back
prime pagoda
Maybe she just didn't die after all...
valid raptor
i will note though
that in dark disciple it is mentioned that she got scarred from the attack that killed her
and she isnt scarred in bad batch
so they're probably retconning it a little
like "the events happened but how they went down is different"
lusty nimbus
final season release schedule (episode names too)
hopefully valid, but my only source is a different discord server
i quite like this release schedule
sometimes multiple eps a day
3 eps on Feb 21st, 2 eps on march 13th & april 3rd each, and of course the episodes inbetween
||Anyone else thinking that "The Return" is a Tech ep?||
wooden echo
I hope not that would be lame

||Anyone else thinking that "The Return" is a Tech ep?||
||Methinks its Ventress||
prime pagoda
Would go from peak batch to mid batch in a heartbeat
mossy vault
I hope not that would be lame
True
||Ffs we already have Ventress living past death we don't need more people revived||
misty geyser
Reviving from the dead is definitely over-used. Gives no gravity to any situation, no peril. What's the point if even if they die they just come back later?
serene kestrel
Avg sw show these days needs at least 2 fake out deaths
misty geyser
Needs to stop.
I was of that opinion back with Maul, but they changed my mind a bit by giving him a compelling story. But... not everyone needs to live and continue. A sad ending for a good character is more powerful than them always living happily ever after.
valid raptor
the problem with ventress is that the lore has already been somewhat established as to how she could come back
its just that because its on the back end of so many fakeouts and somehows, it looks like its just adding to the problem
prime pagoda
Iiiits that time of year 
tawny cargo

Let me hear your "we're so back"
And your "I'm so sorry Filoni for president"

She wouldn't be back without his say
Give him the smallest respect for the decision

nova spire
Ventress aside, peak batch is back
Hopefully they can keep the nostalgia bait and key jingling to a minimum and focus on character moments/dialogue that were strong in S2
valid raptor
seen people suggest its a ventress clone
how would a clone have the same idea to use the exact pattern of a snake for the shoulderpad?
then theres "oh its a flashback" but the lightsaber doesnt match up and the outfit is drastically different (they couldve just reused the asset from TCW)
valid raptor
dont believe so
valid raptor
Ultimately, Ventress sacrificed herself to save Quinlan’s life, taking the brunt of Dooku’s Force lightning during their final confrontation. But that wasn’t the end of Asajj’s story…
nova spire
Tf is this horseshit lol
valid raptor
yea
misty geyser
astral bronze
not the first dead person to return in bad batch so
nova spire
Nightsister magic and its consequences have been a disaster for impactful storytelling
misty geyser
Bane wasn't supposed to be dead during Bad Batch was he?
astral bronze
boba killed him in a episode that never got finished but was considered canon
prime pagoda
Bane being shot by boba is still canon afaik

dave just played it off as did he die? did he survive? but they just gave him a metal headplate in bad batch and called it a day
mossy vault
Maybe Duros have really tiny brains

Too dang easy to survive now.
Shot, stabbed, sliced in half, thrown down a shaft and exploding, put some mechanical replacements or just hate: bam. Survival.

tawny cargo
I mean as long as they use only the good parts
It's just the thing that says they're keeping disciples
valid raptor
i always had 2 ultimatums for it
either retcon it, or at the minimum bring her back
just note that they say "align with events" in the book, which could mean that the details of how it went down are different
valid raptor
"Ultimately, Ventress sacrificed herself to save Quinlan’s life, taking the brunt of Dooku’s Force lightning during their final confrontation. But that wasn’t the end of Asajj’s story…"
and they added the last sentence to her databank page
nova spire
How the fuck does it align with the events in dark disciple? She's dead in that book
They're not doing a very good job if she's suddenly alive again
nova spire
Once again everyone around the batch is more interesting
For me the strongest parts of S2 were the team coming to terms with Echo's departure (until he fucking came back), Hunter's relationship with Omega, and what happened to Tech
The dialogue in those parts felt like real dialogue for the first time since Andor
And they all involve members of the batch

It's not "just above the bare minimum". I have to admit I wouldn't have thought to make the shoulderpads different and this is a cool thing to include
prime pagoda
I mean that is a neat detail
valid raptor
"right so if you notice in this shot, hunter and wrecker are standing in a rocky environment with orange lighting behind them, they also have their guns trained on....something"
"then notice that ventress is also standing in a rocky environment, with orange lighting on the rocks as seen in the bottom left, she is also deflecting blue blaster bolts, of which the bad batch use blue, its safe to assume that these are shots from the same scene"
better shot of the environment

instead of them all being regular nameless ones

All I want is for that scene in the Order 66 book to be Canon
Where Boss holds the blaster to Scorch and Scorch telling his squad he would never forgive them for this
I honestly don't think it will happen but I wish it would
It would give more of a reason to why he's stayed loyal. His own pod brothers turned against him and abandoned their ideals on the spot, so if they don't care anymore, why should he?
If i was in that writing room I'd give Crosshair and Omega some dialogue with him and once he realizes that 99 was trying to save Crosshair cause he's their brother he starts to do the one thing he hasn't done since that night on Kashyyyk, think

Omega doesn’t just interact with the Bad Batch in the series, as Ang revealed a little bit about Asajj Ventress’ role in the series. “Ventress was really interesting to Omega,” Ang said, “She’s come across formidable female figures. But I think that one in particular really sort of took Omega a step back…There was a sort of fear and respect and, like, intrigue.”
frim the same interview
naive yew
That sounds fun
valid raptor
I think we're getting the ending where Ventress takes Omega in
I dont think all of the bad batch will die, but I think Omega will choose to leave to protect who's left

valid raptor
the episode names are public knowledge
naive yew
Also, interesting thing a crew member said about the recent promo: 'A clip from "Confined" was allowed to be released by Rotten Tomatoes as an exclusive clip to promote the episode on February 8. However, the clip managed to leak ahead of that date. Despite the leak, Bad Batch crew member Joel Aron responded to discussion around it; when shadows of Crosshair's cell fall onto Omega's face, the shadow creates an image on her face that looks like Crosshair's own face mark. Aron confirmed this was an intentional visual cue. Aron further designed the light of the scene to be shining down on Crosshair from above, as if being cast by an angel. He was inspired by the lighting design of 1940s cinema. Aron promised there would be similar uses of lighting akin to the Crosshair-Omega example throughout season three, with individual characters, creatures, droids, and ships getting moments with light underscoring the emotions of the scene. Aron was inspired by the work of cinematographer Jack Cardiff for how to use lighting in season three.'

those first 3 episodes were great
I'm interested to learn what the Tantiss project is
what was the codename?
Also, I'm surprised ||Crosshair and Omega escaped so soon||.
valid raptor
what was the codename?
project necromancer
nova spire
naive yew
so either that's related to Palp's stuff on Exegol, or it's something new
valid raptor
it was mentioned in mando S3, i think in rogue one too?
its clearly the project for palps clones
valid raptor
also damn the wookieepedia page is updated already
naive yew
its clearly the project for palps clones
which sucks since it looks like they're setting up something big
valid raptor
near the end when they go through several projects to get the death star plans, project darksaber is mentioned
i think project necromancer is mentioned too but im unsure
valid raptor
no it wasnt, just checked
naive yew
indeed
I love the visuals in these first 3 episodes
they've really turned it up a notch

Interesting, so the point of Omega's existence was to see if a person could be cloned while retaining their midi count

Oh she's finished I'm afraid, how else did project Necromancy come to fruition...unless her sister is the same thing
valid raptor
dunno why you're using spoiler tags in the spoiler channel
prime pagoda
why do they need so many clones
They're all prototypes. And I guess they're backups too
valid raptor
from the dialogue we can infer that palpatine can ve cloned, however the clones do not have the midichlorian count that he does, as a clone has a degraded amount
which is where omega comes in, her midichlorian count hasnt been degraded (I assume, compared to jango fett) despite being a clone, which makes her essential to project necromancer

Dee Bradley Baker says that the bad batch is the end of george lucas' legacy because the bad batch as characters were one of the last things he worked on before he sold star wars to disney

What happened this time?
Common Theory L
naive yew
I didn't like the idea it's Palps they're cloning but I didn't react like that.
Ok. I have to admit I did fanboy over a lot of moments from the Ahsoka show, but given the Bad Batch is still part of Star Wars, I'm still hyped for whatever they have going on in Tantiss.
It's good to see a bit of lead up to the sequels and cool to see that Palps had this planned for so long.
prime pagoda
I do think it is in character for Palps to have found a way to cheat death
Its always about the execution however
valid raptor
of which i think bad batch, as of currently is handling well

Finally watched first 2 episodes of peak batch
Episode 1 was top kino 10/10 absolutely perfect no notes. Loved the quiet moments of rebellion from different prisoners during their captitude. Also liked how time did not seem to erode Omega's principles or Crosshair's hopelessness
Episode 2 was fucking dog water steaming pile of bantha shit episode. Writing and dialogue took a nosedive. Feel like I broke my neck from the whiplash after seeing ep 1
I really hope they don't pull a S2 with the quality fluctuating like this
naive yew
I found all 3 to be around the same quality as each other
2 seemed more like the filler episodes of previous seasons, but still quite a lot of fun Star Wars action.
It was good to have it after a slow moving first episode.
nova spire
"Action" in ep 2 was mind-numbing for me, zero stakes. You just know they're all gonna survive the giant plant monster with no lasting repercussions. I'd rather get the quiet, slow drama in ep 1 again
That was way more fun
astral bronze
nova spire
Zero critical analysis again, eh?
Thank the emperor I can recognise true quality and filler trash instead of mindlessly gobbling it all down
Fortunately, I've been told episode 3 is the same quality-wise as episode 1
astral bronze
naive yew
Fair enough
It was fun but I agree with you, the writing wasn't too good. Probably the most interesting part was the clone cadets.
They could've easily skipped the episode and done the plot point quicker.
I really hope most of the season isn't like this.
Where it's just some s*** happens in order for them to get closer to finding Omega.
nova spire
I really hope most of the season isn't like this.
I heard that ep 3 is bout as good as ep 1 so we're on the right track
naive yew
Yeah it is
Imo
It's got some action in it too
But we're likely going to get episodes like ep 2 in the future.

Filler
nova spire
Episode 2 may not be filler, but it was simply boring to watch. I would've preferred more time spent on showing Hunter and Wrecker dealing with omega's loss rather than a goofy adventure in a jungle fighting mutant plants
serene kestrel
People when they realize this is still an adventure of the week show for kids
nova spire
That doesn't mean I have to enjoy it or force myself to enjoy it
I enjoy the parts that are more adult, and S2 has shown us that you can still be a kids show and have mature dialogue. I hope S3 can deliver the same as it already has with ep 1
naive yew
I'd agree with the person who posted the video
though it's definitely more like a filler
more akin to the stuff in The Mandalorian
