#Bad batch aftermath review series

Something I had not put much thought into originally but look forward to seeing in the future. This episode also gives the unexpected as it sheds some light on the transition between the Republic and the Empire.

It should also be noted that going forward Echo might be subject to disaster based upon the final moments of the episode “On the Wings of Keeradaks” ( The Clone Wars S7 E3) where Wat-Tam-Bor says “we must find a way to recoup on our investment” referring to Echo. Currently struggling with PTSD from returning from the dead at the beginning of Season 7 in the arc titled “The Bad Batch”, it was unexpected to see Echo having to struggle with these more mature issues of torture and trauma. For those who have seen The Clone Wars, it will be nice to have Echo back in the spotlight. With Crosshairs now being affected by Order 66. I particularly look forward to seeing the relationship between Hunter and Crosshairs. The show creates unique and compelling obstacles for Clone Force 99 that will be interesting to see played out through the rest of the season. It is also worth mentioning that Dee Bradley Baker does a phenomenal job voicing all of the clones, bouncing miraculously back and forth between them effortlessly. Each of the five clones is unique and compelling in their own right with Hunter and Crosshairs being the two standouts.

The episode works on many levels for many reasons, the big standout being The Bad Batch themselves. Using the same animation style that was used to finish Season 7 of The Clone Wars it is of no debate that The Bad Batch has a cinematic level of animation. Right off the start, it is important to mention how beautiful the animation looks, the show has outdone itself in this regard. There was much to be enjoyed from this first episode. After experiencing the events of Order 66, the Bad Batch finds themselves confused and defenseless against the likes of the new galactic empire.
