Poster for this third season? Whar??

the main poster for the season thats just hunters helmet

Hmm
sick karma
Don't say that š
harsh viper
Do you think Boba Fett will hunt Omega?
sacred garden
He probably isnāt on the Empireās radar at this point
honest bridge
Isn't Boba Fett like
What
12 in clone years at this point?
16 at most?
I can personally say that I do NOT want them to bring back Boba Fett again
Unless they actually do him really well
dire ravine
I mean he's a clone right? Accelerated ageing, no?
Wait nevermind ignore me I just remembered
He was made under the request of "no accelerated ageing " right?
harsh viper
He was made under the request of "no accelerated ageing " right?
Yes
harsh viper
but hes still relevant because omega is another unaltered clone
Yes
dire ravine
but hes still relevant because omega is another unaltered clone
Oh right yeah also forgot that, damn
valid raptor
so boba is kinda the closest sibling she has
prime pagoda
I don't think Boba cares that much
valid raptor
boba probably doesnt even know he has a sister
dire ravine
Would him knowing make a difference? From what I remember of CW young Boba is just a dick
valid raptor
well he doesnt see the other clones as family, so her being the ultimate oddball might make him at least respect her
plus ventress knows boba so could be how they get in contact
serene kestrel
Boba got namedropped in one of the first 2 seasons as alpha i think
night wasp
Yeah
astral bronze
we aint getting boba lol, we already had boba his arc with clones so

Plot twist: That actress (I forgot her name) plays a new character in Bad Batch.
tawny cargo
Cate Blanchett?
No way she's in star wars
Yeah nah I checked she's not in star wars lol
Too huge of a name to go underground like that

peak scene
I liked this episode a lot more than last week's
and I'm surprised how well they used Ventress in it
valid raptor
omega returning with the flower to see crosshair punched up, wrecker being force choked and a lightsaber pointed at hunter
naive yew

valid raptor
Ventress in her new outfit carrying a Lightsaber, Gun, and a Knife
(proceeds to use none of them and fights in hand to hand)
valid raptor
@serene kestrel watch the new episode so we can discuss potential lego set ideas
naive yew
they need to make the ||giant monster fight||
valid raptor
no no
cave attack
ventress, hunter, wrecker and crosshair as minifigs
hunter and wrecker are in season 3 designs, crosshair is in his CF99 design (as he didnt have that as a minifig yet)
comes with cave themed terrain with rocks
ventress with her bad batch design, hair piece, single curved lightsaber from her previous minifigs and a yellow blade
prime pagoda
(proceeds to use none of them and fights in hand to hand)
"No cheating" š„¶

No I think that's acknowledging that she "died" in that

Maybe ventress' ship but thats a stretch

Were Hunter and Wrecker's previous designs (e.g. last episode) from season 2?
night wasp
Lego would just make it the lime green like reys lightsaber
valid raptor
Were Hunter and Wrecker's previous designs (e.g. last episode) from season 2?
no, season 3 as well
in terms of minifigs they only have season 1 designs
naive yew
no, season 3 as well
in terms of minifigs they only have season 1 designs
I meant have their in show designs this season been changed, besides in the newest episode? Have they got different designs at the start of season 3 compared to season 2?
misty geyser
These guys actually did pretty decent at holding their own against someone who has taken on both Anakin and Obi-Wan at the same time

Ventress has scars all over her face, this matches Dark Disciple where she gets scarred by dookus force lightning that kills her

(although she got pardoned for them)
Was she officially? I remember that being part of Ahsoka's deal with Ventress
But did it go through

valid raptor
daring pewter
yea they in a entirely different universe
Yeah, every single Nightsister in canon. Their magic is limited to just one character and planet. Ventress was laid to rest in a random pool with no magic in it etc.
astral bronze
why would some random nightsister revive ventress
we know merrin was the last survivor of her people so
and even if they survived how would they even know where the jedi burried her or w/e
serene kestrel
Magik
daring pewter
Why bother with hypotheticals when weāll eventually find out anyways 
serene kestrel
Nightsisters are force sensitive so theyd feel her presence
Especially on dathomir
frosty atlas
i love how omega leaves and the first thing she sees when returns
daring pewter
Yeah they were calling out to her when she was buried, maybe it was just Vos hearing voices but I donāt think so
frosty atlas
is wrecker being choked, hunter being threatend at saber point and crosshair KO
daring pewter
Yep

the ones callign her were probably the dead

Why does this look like a metal gear scene
serene kestrel
But I can see why people disliked ot
People just dont like ahsoka
serene kestrel
That's how kids work š
naive yew
yes we know
valid raptor
yeah but think of the character growth
astral bronze
you can say that for almost all characters in the show
naive yew
agreed
sick karma
She was a menace in the cw š
valid raptor
misty geyser
yeah but think of the character growth
It is some insane growth for sure. One of the greatest in the entire show hands down. Went from straight evil to an anti-hero that found some serious healing. Definitely beats out some other characters that switched sides with no reasoning or backstory (cough cough Bo-Katan)
valid raptor
It is some insane growth for sure. One of the greatest in the entire show hands ...
and speaking of bo-katan, ventress actually gets called out for what she did
bo-katan has so far, not
misty geyser
For real! About TIME there was a bit of responsibility and accountability for messed up actions and choices. Straight fire fax.
misty geyser
and speaking of bo-katan, ventress actually gets called out for what she did
Yet another reason Ventress's redemption and character arc was actually hard earned and so good.
valid raptor
plus its nice that omega focuses on the present rather than the past
"they probably told you about all the things i've done"
misty geyser
Omega is a very forgiving person.
Definitely good to have one of those on the team
She definitely won me over, they managed to make her a good character who is resourceful and smart but not massively OP in any sense, optimistic and kind in a way thats in line with her age but has a moderate maturity.
naive yew
I really hope they don't give her the force
harsh viper
I really hope they don't give her the force
Me Too
valid raptor
yeah but anyone can use the force now, didnt you watch ahsoka???
harsh viper
literally 0 evidence that sabine was force sensitive
Fr
Fuck this shit
She's already a mandalorian, how the fuck she need the force
valid raptor
people love to quote kanan with "the force flows through all living things" but that doesnt mean sabine can use the force
naive yew
Especially after she failed all the tests.
valid raptor
she passed the 2nd
naive yew
Yeah
valid raptor
to be fair that test was more "shits about to go down so im going to get the kid out if the firing line"
harsh viper
to be fair that test was more "shits about to go down so im going to get the kid...
I think too
nova spire
people love to quote kanan with "the force flows through all living things" but ...
Sabine CAN use the Force because anyone can, but what she did in the show made no sense

Wym?
nova spire
She was able to use the Force with virtually no training
harsh viper
She was able to use the Force with virtually no training
I can too with my ps4 on SWBF2
naive yew
Well we know she had training before
prime pagoda
I honestly would have liked if she only had hightened senses with the force, and used her gadgets to make up for whatever she couldn't do.
nova spire
Well we know she had training before
Not enough for someone who isn't Force-sensitive.
harsh viper
I honestly would have liked if she only had hightened senses with the force, and...
Would be less tragic
valid raptor
because ventress cuts the first test short just after crosshair comes back with the intel that confirms to hunter and wrecker that its her
nova spire
She'd need to train for decades before even daring to hope to accomplish what she did in the show
harsh viper
But still useless she's a mandalorian
naive yew
That randomly made me think of this convo I saw on a YT post earlier.
Which duel is better: Duel of the Fates or the final duel in ESB?
prime pagoda
Oh that's tough
valid raptor
i do like how the episode shows how good ventress is with the force
she senses when omega falls before she actually falls, and senses hunter pulling his knife just before he does it
nova spire
Which duel is better: Duel of the Fates or the final duel in ESB?
That's easy
Duel of fates š
naive yew
That's easy
It depends on what factors you're basing it on
If you're going off of choreography, DotF. If you're going off of emotional factor, Empire.
valid raptor
uhhhmmm twilight of the apprentice solos!!!!!
prime pagoda
The cinematography of Empire's duel is also better imo
naive yew
whole a** conversation going on here
specifically this comment
this is what agitates me about this psot
valid raptor
I think ventress was lying about the fact that if omega was force sensitive, she doesnt actually have to be taken away to be trained
naive yew
hmm?
zealous parcel
I'm not sure what direction they'll go with Omega to be honest
valid raptor
because ventress recognizes their bond and doesnt want omega to be taken away from her family
because ventress suffered that fate
zealous parcel
That's an interesting point
valid raptor
and if omega was force sensitive and was taken away to be trained, she would become a bigger target
naive yew
didn't Ventress tell Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair that Omega has a high M-count?
zealous parcel
I need to rewatch it but I think she did a lot of hinting at it
naive yew
yeah
valid raptor
she said that omega doesnt, but if she did she would have to be taken away from the batch to be trained
hunter calls her out for lying but she responds "about which part?"
naive yew
and what about the results from the test done at Mt. Tantiss?
valid raptor
i expect omega isnt force sensitive
naive yew
didn't that say she did?
zealous parcel
Well she has it in her blood but Ven said it's in every person
prime pagoda
didn't that say she did?
The Mt Tantiss stuff is that she has the same M-Count as Jango Fett
zealous parcel
Just some people have higher m counts
prime pagoda
The Mt Tantiss stuff is that she has the same M-Count as Jango Fett
At least that's what it's implying
zealous parcel
Is there a certain number Jango has?
valid raptor
plus ventress doesnt have the blood test thingy so she goes for a more traditional approach to testing
valid raptor
of which omega shows no actual force ability
zealous parcel
I'm not exactly a sure what a high m count is
I havent read enough media to know honestly
prime pagoda
and there was a certain number they needed for Palpatine's project
They need the genes that let clones retain the M-count of their original person
naive yew
I think it refers to midichlorians
zealous parcel
Well yeah but I'm not sure if its a literal number or just force moving through your blood
Yeah it's like saying the V word in Harry Potter
zealous parcel
Ah okay
After episode 1 with Qui Gon explaining, I haven't seem them really go back to it
Seems awfully important to just not talk about it
valid raptor
so i think either ventress doesnt know, or doesnt believe omega has force potential, but is lying in the fact that if she did she would have to be taken away
(because she doesnt have to be, omega wouldnt be able to use the force if shes with the batch, but its for her own protection, and better if she stays with her family)
zealous parcel
I can see it happening either or
I hope we find out in the finale
But instead of Ventress telling us, it'll be Vader
Because Omega will be too known at that point
valid raptor
i expect an inquisitor instead of vader
valid raptor
no
zealous parcel
This is gonna sound bad
valid raptor
(barriss offee)
naive yew
I don't completely like the idea of Vader showing up in the show
valid raptor
commando team taking down an inquisitor would be kino as fuck
I dont care about "le jedi kills an inquisitor after them!!!" I wanna see dudes with guns and knives take one down
naive yew
though an Inquisitor would be cool
valid raptor
naive yew
but I feel like a different ending to the batch would be better
zealous parcel
I feel like we have inquistors in a lot of shows now
prime pagoda
though an Inquisitor would be cool
Grand Inquisitor would be fucking peak
naive yew
truee
prime pagoda
Grand Inquisitor would be fucking peak
I need an apology to this man he was done filthy in Kenobi
valid raptor
nah barriss offee
so we finally know what happened to her and then she dies so people stop asking
zealous parcel
Lol
Or Ahsoka could turn on the clones and go crazy
Lol
I dunno I want something shocking to happen
valid raptor
plus showing how an inquisitor fucking sucks compared to someone like ventress
naive yew
I dunno I want something shocking to happen
Tech returns and kills them all
valid raptor
like not immediately force pulling their guns away
naive yew
totally surprising
zealous parcel
And Tech was actually working for the Empire
valid raptor
zealous parcel
And he actually hates tech
valid raptor
inquisitor dies from getting stabbed in the chest by wreckers knife
valid raptor
zealous parcel
Maybe bring back an old EU weapon
naive yew
inquisitor dies from getting stabbed in the chest by wreckers knife
The Grand Inquisitor

If we get him, Vader isn't far behind
valid raptor
naive yew
The Grand Inquisitor gets stabbed in the chest by Wrecker's knife

so i think either ventress doesnt know, or doesnt believe omega has force potent...
She's probably doesn't have a high enough m count to be force sensitive but still a high enough amount to be gifted

harsh viper
She's probably doesn't have a high enough m count to be force sensitive but stil...
Gifted for what?
valid hollow
Probably wrong but I interpreted the tests as not that Omega's M count is high, it's just that it's the same as Jango's, which none of the other clones are
Otherwise, If they were testing for cloning high M counts then why would they be doing all their testing on clones when there are people all over the galaxy that are born force sensitive
harsh viper
Otherwise, If they were testing for cloning high M counts then why would they be...
For real
valid raptor
it looks like the batch are chasing a lead that actually not really relevant to them
they're trying to figure out what m-count means so they get a better understanding of hemlocks experiments and why the empire wants omega
valid hollow
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking
valid raptor
however the info they get is actually unrelated to that, with the bounty hunters hired to get m-count targets because the jedi etc are seen as criminals
valid hollow
Before season 1 released I was definitely part of the "Omega's got the Force" team but now I don't think so
Also it's wayy too late in the show for that to be a reveal since there's only like 6 episodes left
valid raptor
plus the harbinger was the perfect episode to reveal it
valid hollow
Exactly, you'd think they'd have shown her at least bring up 1 fish or something during the test if she was
valid raptor
the first test was an actual test
the 2nd test was more of a "do or do not, there is no try" but it was mostly to get omega out of the way because ventress knew there was going to be a fight
3rd test omega failed
given ventress does a more practical method of testing (rather than the blood test) I expect she just didnt have the tools for a blood test, and is just doing what her jedi master ky narec did (of which, this was after he saw ventress force push a guy off a cliff so he knows she can use it)
in the end ventress probably either cant tell for sure (its not exectly something she'd have proper knowledge of) or does believe that omega cant use the force, but regardless gives omega the straight answer
however ventress is lying about omega needing to be taken away if she did have it, ventress recognizes the bond omega has with her brothers and wouldnt want to rob her of that, because ventress was also taken away from her family because she was force sensitive
harsh viper
then ||She-Hulk|| shows up and ||twerks over|| the Imperials
And then everyone in the Bad Batch get the force
prime pagoda
So. In between Ventress being alive and the set up of Thrawn taking Nightsister corpses to Dathomir to resurrect them for his campaign against the New Republic...
Dathomir can just revive dead people now. Or just Night Sisters. How do we feel about this?
astral bronze
i mean the nighsisters were reanimated not revived
idk what they'll do with it in the mandoversee but
sick karma
Is the mandoverse still going on
astral bronze
skeleton crew
prime pagoda
Thats Mandoverse?
prime pagoda
Does that even count-
Fucking hell
astral bronze
i mean if you're making a show set at the same time as others in the SW universe they will be connected one way or another as seen by boba and ahsoka
could have easily been their own thing
sick karma
I'm still annoyed by mando episodes being in boba
valid raptor
So. In between Ventress being alive and the set up of Thrawn taking Nightsister ...
i think full resurrection is extremely limited
you have the zombies yes, but you also have "literally come back as you were" with ventress
- implied to require the waters of life
- implied to require a LOT of the waters of life
- (yes it is confirmed it can ressurrect the recently deceased, ventress got lucky with being in stasis)
4.to make the waters of life, it requires the flesh of the sleeper, vos killed the sleeper in dark disciple
so i think the entire lake got turned into the waters of life when he killed it, but it wasnt used until ventress was buried in it
also apparently the lake is bone dry in rebels? someone fact check this for me (I also thought it was dry in TCW when maul gets new legs from talzin?)

toxic shoal
Those two episodes were quite cool
The one thing that bothers me with all those RC troopers
Is that there are too many
Like they donāt feel like special soldiers anymore
And why would a lab (even if itās extremely secured and blablabla) require do many commando clones who are much more useful on the ground
Like infiltration, assassination, etc
But still the two episodes were really nice

but republic commando isnt canon so that version of scorch doesnt exist<:yodahmm...
At this point they might as well be different characters with only shared names. It was a massive monkeys paw asking for more Clone Commandos.
valid raptor
why would he be acting as the smartass funnyman in a very serious operation?
red vapor
why would he be acting as the smartass funnyman in a very serious operation?
Because thatās how his character has been in pretty much every mission, literally acted like that when going through a ship full of dead clones.
Unless losing Sev fucked him up hard, which we donāt know if it happened
valid raptor
of which it did in the EU
so why complain about how hes different when hes acting the same as he did in EU after a specific event?
I swear, republic commando fans havent actually read the fucking novels
prime pagoda
Funny if you think Star Wars fans read books instead of having book content summarized by youtubers
valid raptor
it happens in every fandom
toxic shoal
People acted like they were so mad Ventress came back and book was retconned and they were so sad cause they loved that book
Where actually they only listened to a video explaining it
Same with the Kanan comics, people hadnāt read it and had to complain about the retcons
astral bronze
Where actually they only listened to a video explaining it
you think they even knew about the book until she was in the trailer?
valid raptor
^
a LOT of people didnt even know she died in the first place
shes "popular" but shes not that popular, people will be like "oh shes an awesome character" but couldnt really give a shit about her because shes not as popular as ahsoka or maul
yet they'll complain that disney is "retconning" something despite having no knowledge of the event, or the book it happened in
so then other people get pissed and go "its not a retcon"
toxic shoal
you think they even knew about the book until she was in the trailer?
Yeah for real too lmao
That book is really good though
I mean most Star Wars books are quite cool
Adult books
astral bronze
alot of SW books are, people just dont care enough to read them
they'll just watch a 5 minute recap instead and act like they know all about it
toxic shoal
Those recaps are literally insulting to the authors
If you canāt read at least listen to it
Or read the comics, theyāre really cool too
toxic shoal
Yeah I managed to almost get back on track with the canon ones
astral bronze
i stopped with the OT ones that were right after all that qira stuff
toxic shoal
Oh yeah havenāt read it yet
Iām with the first Doctor Aphra right now
I read all the ones between episode 4 and 5
But itās difficult to follow with which ones happen before or after which ones
Fortunately there are websites for it lol
astral bronze
yea thats what annoyed me, especially with crossovers
toxic shoal
Oh yeah the crossovers
astral bronze
cause you'll go to another issue and sometimes they dont even have anything to do with the crossover and its liek okay but why
toxic shoal
I bought the comics and havenāt read it yet, but basically I would wait for the integrale of the thing
valid raptor
That book is really good though
(it isnt)

even outside of me being her #1 simp, she's one of the best and most consistent characters

yea cause ur just crying cause someone is trans in a fictional piece of media

you're telling me the clone is trans despite
clones not being trained to think that way
never meeting a woman
kaminoans never rejecting the clone for it
no possible timeframe from the end of AoTC to change any of these variables with sense
plus the fact that Omega exists

Did Sister re-identify herself before being deployed anywhere off Kamino?

the worst this season was for sure the episode with Fennec. They did nothing for 25 minutes.
naive yew
he was from the first two seasons
there were some actual developments in this episode
unlike the Fennec one
this one was actually entertaining too
The Fennec episode was basically let's go on a mission to capture a nobody so we can get plot-relevant information but not until the next episode.
this week's was basically let's go on a mission to rescue a significant character so we can gain information that is relevant to the central plot of the season.
and not go on a mission we're reluctant to do

I believe they might do a clone rebellion series (hopefully a bit of a short one) that'll continue on from the set-up in The Bad Batch. There is still the possibility that they finish that story in the final two episodes of this season. Nonetheless, I'd love to see it as a separate series due to how little set-up the idea has had this season.

not that tough when he was loyal to one side and they in turn locked him up when they found it convieniant, meanwhile the bb rescued him despite everything he did and keep him alive

I doubt heāll want to return to the empire, or that theyād even let him
