“You know what makes us different form battle droids? We make our own decisions, our own choices. And…we have to live with them to.” Damn that just hit hard.

Order 66 completely controlled the clones. That's extremely apparent with rex and wrecker in their scenes. However, it does seem that once the clones programed order was completed, they started to go back to normal.

You can see that Cody regrets attacking Kenobi so much. It wasn’t Cody who attacked Kenobi, it was the inhibitor chip.

You can definitely tell he is forever haunted by his actions when he attacked Kenobi even after all they've been through during the clone wars. I can definitely see him after abandoning the empire find Rex and team up with him to help the early rebel alliance in future episodes

Feel like Cody's words reached Crosshair. He became a little conflicted about his decisions.

I hope one day we will see Rex and Cody reunite and fight side by side as brothers once again

if rampart killed Cody off-screen, I will riot

It surprised me how cody managed to actually get through to crosshair, even if he didn’t want to admit it

It’s very sad, Crosshair believed him and his team would be special in the eyes of the Empire, but now he’s treated even worse than a Reg, the way he wakes up and is referred to by his number makes him seem like nothing more than a droid

Does anyone notice that wall next to Crosshair and Cody are the names of the clones that died in the Battle of Geonosis😭😔

I honestly really like this interpretation of post-Clone Wars Cody. The old Legends version of Cody was depicted as going all in on the Empire, probably as a way to cope with any lingering guilt he may feel. But to me actually showing Cody grappling with that guilt and all the regret of the war is a nice change that I think really works with how the clones got fleshed out as a thinking, living characters during the Clone Wars show. Here is Cody, the model clone soldier with a record of truly exemplary service and not a single instance of ever disobeying a direct order. And yet even after all that, in the end he decides "F*** this, I'm leaving" because even he's tired of the Empire's hot BS and its treatment of the clones and the people of the galaxy.

Dave is giving us a lot of answers about the clone wars, telling how does the clones felt after the war and their lost of hope for the republic that they fight for.

I like how Crosshair looked offended when Rampart didn’t know Cody’s name and had to identify him by his number

I love that we are seeing more and more clones break out of the Empire, both because they see how it treats the civilians they fought to protect, and because the influence of Order 66 is fading. However, it seems that even years after it, and possibly even after removing their chips, clones can have an adverse reaction to seeing a Jedi, like how Wolfe reacted, just from the trauma of having gone through order 66.

The light work is just insane. Almost every scene on Coruscant used to be either in a bright orange at sunset or bright blue during daytime. In Ramparts office Coruscant looks grey and devoid of life.

At first when he said “Funny how these clones keep disappearing” I was hoping HE wasn’t making them disappear or killing them off in secret but Im glad Cody went AWOL on his own. Hope we see him in the future

Very powerful scene. Them in front of what looks like a war memorial. Damn man. Its just beautiful writing

This episode and the midseason finale is what i want consistently throughout this show. Can't wait to see how Crosshair reacts to the Imperial Bill that screws over the clones

I liked when the admiral said ‘problem? :troll:’ 1:11

Top notch voice acting, facial animation, lighting, cinematography, etc. These scenes have real weight to them! 👍

And we never got to see Cody again after this.......

Man might aswell give Cody his own series because I swear there’s sooo much they could do with him

Good soldiers follow orders, but great soldiers question orders. Hunter and the rest of the Bad Batch were better soldiers then Crosshair ever will be.

i pity crosshair. he thinks that blind loyalty will keep him safe but a solider is only as useful as those in power think they are. he can follow any order they give him but it won't ensure he'll be as safe as the other clones. this season is showing us that the empire doesn't care about the clones anymore and they will be cast out. and i think crosshair knows it. he doesn't wanna admit it.

This episode and The Outpost were easily the best episodes of Season 2, Crosshair is such an interesting character

Honestly regardless they are clones or recruited soldiers, the honorable ones know when to call it quits. That’s why the empire lost. So many defectors joined the right cause, even when they were vastly outnumbered.

So proud of Cody!!! Late, but not heartless!

I hope Crosshair puts down Rampart

This scene hits differently after seeing "The Outpost"

As a kid in 05. My favorite clone had no ending. Today. He has no ending. One thing he does have now is direction and i am so excited to see where that brings him. I pray with every bit of my body he and obi wan have one more conversation. Or he meets his end saving Obi Wan. Id love to see him talk to Obi and then find Rex and both of them serve in the battle of Endor.

Something’s up with rampart he really doesn’t like clones …

I kinda like the fact he went awol him and Cpt Rex were my favourites

So far this was by far the best episode.

We never DID find out where he went. Part of Rex's underground movement? Went to have his chip removed? Commandeered a ship and vanished like Ventress did in the EU?

Would love a scene where Cody meets up with Obi Wan on Tatooine and they have the deepest heart to heart talk and the greatest weight is lifted, Obi Wan forgives him, understands him, never blamed him and is indebted to him and tells Cody he will always be his brother. He asks him to stay in touch if he needs anything, and that he can get him in contact with Organa who are in need of warriors for the Rebellion, or help him find a place in Tatooine... "I'll never tell them where you are, General. I'll die first"

"We make our own decisions, our own choices" That's the thing Cody, you didn't.

I love this scene with Crosshair and Cody. It’s upsetting but it’s actually their reality, but not only that our reality too. It’s relatable.

For me, this is the best scene in all of bad batch. Very hard hitting and inciteful.

You know what makes this scene hit even harder now is that Cody like Wolfe at this point thinks all their friends are dead like his good friend Rex… I hope so badly in S3 they get to at least say goodbye.

Really hope we figure out what happens to Cody in S3

I know Dave wants to use the clone serial numbers to show the clones being dehumanized, but citizens of the star wars galaxy don't even bother calling droids by their full designation which are usually only 2 letter and 2 numbers. So the idea that Imperial officers would say all those serial numbers instead of using names is absurd. Names like Cody and Rex are much more efficient and convenient.

0:16 Crosshair's gonna need medical assistance for that third-degree burn Cody gave him.

What's funny is in the books he ended up as a Guard for Palpatine

That's the same questions every solders today even the ones who went to Afghanistan and Iraq are asking themselves: Are we really making the World better??. And codys right of another thing: We make our own decision our own choices and we have to live with them two That's is so true It maybe a kids show but it have lots of different meaning we ask ourselves every day even if it happens at Home or in War

1:05 I honestly would’ve stuffed a few bolts up Ramphard(can’t be bothered to find the correct spelling)

This is one of my favorite sequences in the franchise. It shows how much Cody regretted turning on Obi Wan.

Listen to him Crosshair. Think about what you're doing. Do you really believe you're doing "what needs to be done" or are you just doing what the Empire wants you to do?

I cant quite explain it, but Cody has a subtle tiredness to his voice, as if despite the fact he’s seen enough war to last him multiple lifetimes, that last deployment was finally too much

Cody regrets betraying his general.

I hope Cody return in next episode where he work as bartender at Cid's parlor, he probably have changed his name, we probably find out.

This sticks with crosshairs now with the last episode

I hate, I hate the Empire with all my being. The disrespect towards the clones who gave their lives for the Republic is absolutely unforgivable. Yes, I know that it was all planned and that they have always been slaves, or rather, puppets in the hands of the Sith, but it really hurt me to see how they were treated at the end of the conflict, both in the animated series and in the films.

Want to feel depressed or Dead on the inside? Want to turn joy into complete and utter sadness? Want to feel like Light inside of a Blackhole? Watch this episode!

0:16 "We are loyal soldiers, we follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men, we must be trusted to make the right decisions"

Hope we see him in the final season

Yeah, i very much prefer Cody's fate and the fate of the clones as to how they are potrayed in the EU.

I like to think the Emperor knew the clones would mass desert after betraying their generals as yet another reason why they had been replaced

And this whole speech is in from the Geonosis memorial wall. Where all those troops died in a wasteland of dust for nothing.

Him walking away is a great wallpaper

This just goes to show how brainwashed they were when Order 66 was given. This combined with Rex's ability to hold off the order from outright taking over his body momentarily shows just how much they didn't want to hurt the Jedi but were given no choice. They were quite literally forced to turn on their allies and quickly too. All the bonds, the jokes, the laughs, they were all genuine. The betrayal and mass murder of the Jedi, was not.

What this show really proved was that the Clones were loyal to the Republic and the inhibitor chips made the Jedi "traitors to the Republic" and forced even those who doubted that claim to turn on the Jedi. But once Order 66 was complete there were no "traitors" who they were brainwashed into killing left and the Republic they were programmed to be loyal to no longer existed. It takes some clones like Crosshair longer to realize that they were played than others but eventually they all started to realize that the Empire didn't care about them and they owed the Empire no loyalty if it wasn't returned.

I'm suprised so many people think the Clone Operative is Cody. None of his appearances in the show made the impression that he would chose the Empire

he was programmed to think the jedi traitors and defend the republic. with the death of both he has nothing to fight for

I always wonder if after Order 66, do they still view Jedis as threats/targets without removing their chips?

I hope they bring Cody back for season 3.

Can't believe Rampart is Charles Smith.

Very sad to think all the Clone commanders who had to kill their Jedi comrades and didn’t know about the chip thought it was their doing and their choice that they have to live with. The trauma that caused must have been incredible and I wouldn’t be surprised if some clones even took their own lives because of something they unknowingly couldn’t control

Trench: Kestis Cal, born in 32 BBY, Kestis Merrin born in 32 BBY. Merrin: This is some kind of recording? Trench: I am not a recording, sleemo, I may not been the leader I was, since Anakin Skywalker execute me in the Anaxis campaign, but I am. Merrin: Do you know this thing? Cal: Admiral Trench was a arachnoid leader of the CIS, he’s been dead for years. Trench: First correction, that name is my home world’s species, Second look around you, I have never been more alive, in 19 BBY, I received a cyber diagnosis, science cannot save my body, but my mind however that is worth saving, you are standing in my brain. Cal: How did you get in here? Trench: Invited. Merrin: It was Operation 66, during the Clone Wars, the droid shutdown command to unknown reasons. Trench: They thought I can help the republic’s cause, they also helped their own. Cal: CIS died with General Grevious, Count Dooku and the CIS Council. Cal: I learned the truth behind the Republic Trench: Prove it. Trench: accessing archive, the Sith Empire was founded on belief that galactic currency cannot be trusted with its own freedom, Little we don’t realize, if you try to take that freedom they resist, The wars taught them much, galactic currency needs to surrender its freedom willingly, after the Wars, The Galactic Republic was renamed, and some were recruited, the new Sith Empire grew, A perfect parasite inside the Republic, through many years, the Sith has been secretly feeding Crysis, reaping Wars, and when history didn’t want to cooperate, history was changed. Merrin: It’s impossible, The Jedi could’ve stoped you. Trench: Accidents will happen, the Galactic Sith Empire created a word so chaotic, that galactic currency needed to sacrifice its freedom, to gain its security, once a purification progress is completed, the Sith’s new Galactic Order will arise, they’ve won already,Kestis, your deaths are amongst to the same as your lives, a zero sum. (Cal grunts)(screen breaks) Trench: As I was saying. Cal: What’s In this drive? Trench: Project Hamerton, requires Stardust, Poggle the Lesser wrote an algorithm. Merrin: What kind of algorithm, what dose it do? Trench: The answer to your questions are fascinating, unfortunately, you should get my consciousness to hear it. (Beeping) Merrin: Cal, we got a bogey. Cal: Who Fired? Merrin: The Empire. Trench: I’m afraid I’ve been stalling, Kestis, admit it, it’s better this way, We are both of us, Out of time

In light of what we know now, my guess is that Cody is now either among all the clone prisoners, or brainwashed.

If Cody ever betrayed the empire in front of Crosshair I wonder if he wouldve killed Cody for betraying the empire or let him live coz of how close the two were

I really want to know where is Cody now? Like is he gonna get his own solo series book or appear with Rex in the final season?

We make our own choices. Cross hair "treason."

The fact that cody truly believes he killed Obi Wan is just depressing

Surely they finish Cody's story

It’s possible that he’s still in the empire that left crosshairs.

El y Rex fueron sin duda leales a sus principios, como lo fue el capitán Rex... Cody no tuvo tanta suerte pero se dió cuenta de su error a tiempo y por eso desertó

There goes the headcanon that Cody was the stormtrooper Obi-wan mind tricked on Tatooine

Here’s a riddle involving what Cody said: I am something that when said can be thought of as either right or wrong, I am easy to say but not easy to make, and when I am made I either result in something good or something terrible what am I?!

Cody was always my favorite trooper. I wanted to find out what happened to him for my whole childhood life

well im guessing they changed his death cause he died on kamino and now we know kamino is destroyed & hes still awol

Estuve decadas pensando y especulando que habría sido de Cody.

OH MY GOD!

Too bad we will never get to see Cody training Stormtroopers on Kamino and totally wanting to kill them.

The greatest tragedy of the clone wars was the fact that clones to their makers and leaders werent diffrent from droids.

Yk what i really think at this point Cody has been captured and is with Crosshair when he also gets captured. I hope in season 3 they break out with Omega. The fact that Cody wasn't in the trailer (I think) maybe shows that he dies trying to break out Crosshair and Omega.

Cody slowly starts to sound like Rex everytime he is on screen but you can tell Cody is still by the book, granted its his own book. Rex and Cody basically are like Anakin and Obi-Wan but the roles are reversed. Hopefully we see Cody step up to help the Rebels like Rex did. The Fleet is always in need of skilled commanders.

Well, its kind of hard to be loyal to people who treat the dirt on their boots better than you.

Couldn't you have done that BEFORE you blasted the bloody jedi?

How long before Crosshair leaves the empire?

So, did Cody get transferred to a different unit? I ask because his armor was white with grey trim, rather than the orange trim we saw him have in The Clone Wars & Revenge of the Sith, so I assume he was transferred to a different unit & given different colored armor to represent the unit he was supposedly transferred to.

Commander Cody is the Assassin after Echo this season.

Clones rebellion... Friend... everybody hates palpatine

I am wondering what will become of Cody since he deserted the empire

Hopefully Cody goes with Rex again

Cody leaving the empire is really weird when you've grown up with star wars legends

Huh, they said CC instead of the usual CT as in clone trooper so i wonder if CC stands for clone commander since cody was a commander. But i thought all clone troopers was named by CT and then their number. But it seems that the CT changes to whatever the rank of that clone is, i might be wrong on that but its just strange how cody had CC instead of CT like the rest of the clones

Cody: what have i done *Cody looking at a photo of Rex and him alongside their Generals but when seen throw darts at the photo*

Oh their Loyal alright. But not to you.

What happened to Cody tho?

lo mataron verdad?
