Yes, that is Kanan at the beginning of the episode. They brought back Freddie Prinze Jr. who voiced him in Rebels to voice him again for the cameo which is why he sounds older than the character is at the point of the timeline.

I absolutely love the fact that they animated clips from Revenge of the Sith in the opening of this. There are three of them, when the narrator mentions Anakin and Obi-Wan rescuing the Chancellor and it's Obi-Wan killing the Magnaguard, Anakin killing the two battle droids holding Palpatine, and Grievous in the escape pod. Those three shots are directly from the beginning of Revenge of the Sith and they animated them frame perfectly, even the two battle droids in the background that run from Obi-Wan, that's in the movie too.

And Caleb is Kanan. They got the voice actor from Rebels back which is why his voice sounds kinda deep. And remember when he was being interrogated by the Grand Inquisitor in season 1 of Rebels and the Inquisitor asked him what his master's last words were, Kanan said "run"

The kid, Caleb Dime would change his name and go into hiding as...Kanan Jarus (from Rebels, baby!)

Tech telling Echo he’s “more machine now than man” is a reference to when Obi-Wan said that line to Luke describing Darth Vader.

It’s good to have animated Star Wars back on the chopping block. Great video as always.

Ah Tarkin, the Rebel Alliance's greatest recruiter. Every act he undertook only fed the rebels' resolve, and he was kind enough to die and take the bulk of the Empire's senior military staff with him.

The addition of Omega just doubled the number of main voice actors for this show :P

Bad Batch apparently serves as a bridge between Clone Wars & Rebels ; my feeling is that at the end of the day (regarding Bat Batch's very ending) it's basically gonna lead to the formation of the Ghost Crew as we know it at the beginning of Rebels, or something in that sense.

One of the best opening episodes in any Star Wars show. Fucking fantastic from start to finish

One thing that was really touching - before this show aired, Tom Kane (the narrator and also the voice of Yoda and other characters) had a stroke which resulted in him losing his voice and potentially will never be able to do voice work again. So hearing this intro and jumping into a TCW style episode was REALLY bittersweet. (Also: baby Kanan!!!! I freaking died.)

Just love that line from Tech… “You’re more machine than man” lol callback to Sir Alec

The theorie is, that the chips also change the clones' personality. The clones calling them Sad Batch in the canteen also were way more douche-y than other clones

The droid with omega was the same one with fives in clone wars. Looking forward to seeing you react to the rest of this show, it’s great!

great episode ,The animation is god tier in this series They actually used real life photography in some of the episodes.. We didn't see them in anything because they're following there own destiny. Like so many other characters

11:18 The Kaminoans knew about the cips. They put them inside the clones when they were still growing and Dooku work with them to hide the truth. You should rewatch the first arc of Clone Wars season six. It is all explained there.

This was the last time we hear Tom Kane narrating at the beginning 🥺🥺🥺 He retired after he had a stroke. This and Lego Star Wars was the last time we provided his voice for characters.

Those are, if I’m not mistaken, an early experimental rendition of the Dark trooper program, good eye, similar design and function! Glad to finally see you start this show prime! 💯🤟🏼

I really love how they brought Kanan back, to give him some more backstory on why he distrusts clones. - Snips. New name.

The thing with the inhibitor chips is to do with the physiology of the brain. We see in clone wars that the chip is located in the frontal cortex, where it relates to all decision making and rational thought. With the Bad Batch, they each have enhanced senses, with Echo’s being destroyed in the explosion as well. However, with Crosshair, his mutation was in his eyes, which is the back of the brain, so he’s affected more than people like Tech or Hunter.

I like the animated shows more because you can do more with animation than live action.

13:06 Those aren’t Dark Troopers, but they are the same type of droids that Thrawn trained with.

Yes! Lets go! Bad Batch is amazing. I'm glad you're finally reacting to it.

The clone wars has ended... but the resistance is just beginning. Im glad your here and its one heck of a ride. Im glad your not binging this, one needs to let it stew.

"Clone Force 99". Gotta love them, Primate! Season 2 is coming, and it's looking good. 3:38 - Did you notice the Padawan's name? Caleb.... Think about it... Also.... his voice should sound familiar. 6:30 - BINGO! You figured it out!

I know someone was excited to see Caleb dume 😂😂but how did you not recognize by his voice.

This episode is fantastic!

Season 2 will definitely be out before you finish season 1, the premiere is set for January 4th so less than 2 months away 🥳

Primate! Finally on Bad Batch❤ You are in for a WILD ride!! Dee Bradley Baker voices all the Clones in Bad Batch…amazing! Seeing young Caleb jump across the river reminds me of Ezra jumping onto the Ghost in The first episode of Rebels.

Whilst the show did slow at some points the plot heavy episodes are crazy good for this show and I’m for sure hyped for season 2

Primate I seriously can’t recommend Andor enough! It’s the best live action Star Wars show.

I LOVE the clone wars, but holy shit i think Bad Batch is my favourite animation they've come out with yet.

If only I was in command of the squad, we would have finished these missions! As the leader, I would do what needs to be done. Good soldiers follow orders, Hunter!

YESS! By the way Caleb is Kanaan.

Tarkin looks bulkier. Does he do a squat every time a Jedi dies or something?

Yay! The Bad Batch is my absolute favorite Star Wars of all time, I've lost track of how often I've rewatched it :)

Was waiting for this! Honestly such an underrated show, really fun to watch and I I can't wait for Season 2! You're gonna love this

The Clone Wars may have ended, but a Civil War is about to begin.

Fact: it was the same AZ, who was helping Fives in his last arc.

So hyped for this, they dig out some characters you might not expect so be ready my man

watching this, i forgot how much i love this show! looking fwd to s2!

Wasn’t alla that huge on the show as a whole but MAN this is how you start a fucking show. Amazing pilot to a show with alot of ups and alot of downs

Also AZ the droid was a friend of fives in his last arc before he died

Glad you enjoyed this episode. Love the reactions of this video and I like how everytime you see Tarkin you get mad. I don’t blame you, I still hate him for accusing Ahsoka. You’re gonna love this show and I hope you’re ready for Season next year mate 👍

The same droid who was helping fives during his investigation makes an appearance too! His memory was just wiped lol

Caleb Dume aka Kanan Jarrus in Rebels. Similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi - Ben Kenobi or Ashoka Tano - Ashla. ;) In short, the story of Caleb Dum is in his comic, but with the fact that order 66 is a retcon. ;] It doesn't appear in Bad batch anymore, that's good, it's just a cameo. ;}

It so interesting to me to listen to crosshair or wrecker voice. I know it’s Dee Bradley baker but he doesn’t sound like a clone at all. Real chameleon with his voice

Ah yes Clone Wars Season 8 basically. Love the Bad Batch.

Crosshair's new armor looks like an early and custom version of Death Trooper armor 😰😱.

When Caleb ignites his lightsaber against Crosshairs was such a badass moment...

14:04 for some reason I have a feeling that that move with Wrecker's vibro-knife is going to be used again in the not-too-distant future 🤔.

3:28 Oof I still prefer the red armor on "Commander Grey". Yeah, so there was a comic you gotta check out later about Kanan's life after he escaped Kaller. Titled "Kanan the last padawan" I won't lie I was worried Omega would slow our boys down at first but she hell'a grew on me.

4:55 Battle Droid humor is the best

Kanan’s backstory was really fleshed out in Kanan: The Last Padawan. The BB had nothing to do with it till the this show. So this is a retcon. Real shame though TLP was the best thing to come out of Marvel in a long time.

I believe omega’s genetic mutation is that she is a girl. I don’t think she has any other abilities

Yup that boy is Kanan

Great reaction! The animation is beautiful and you will also love the the stories and cameos!

Sad to think this might be the final show that has the opening narration. Poor Tom Kane .

6:15 that maybe intentional with info of s2 of this halfway may do a time jump. If so then Freddy prince jr may appear as Caleb/kanan in his early 20s with showing him meeting and team up with hera.

7:55 so there is a reason for that: retcon. Context, so there is a kanan comic that tells his life at end of clone wars and over the years to meeting hera, and others to eventually Ezra. In the comic kanan and his master were on a jungle/forest like planet, no bad batch and the clones attacked. Kanan ran and snuck onto a civ cargo ship to a city where he lay low thanks to a smuggler. The smuggler took him in mainly to do tasks and utilize his Jedi abilities. He also taught kanan how to be sneaky, not be noticeable and told him fo change his name. If go “wait retcon? I thought everything since Disney purchase stay the same.” True unless Dave filoni is involved then he has full reign on retconning stuff. Which you will notice in other Star Wars media he works on after this.

Finally he is watching the show

yep, Caleb Dume aka Kanan Jarrus

Love the Bad Batch series.

I thought I loved the Clone Wars and I did, and I thought I loved Rebels, and I did. But I LOVE the Bad Batch!! They are my boys! Omega is my girl! I love this series!

While this was an amazing episode - my BIGGEST gripe with it is the opening-l with Caleb. TOTALLY changes his story set in the comics- if you get a chance Primate, get your hands on the Kanan Comics if you want more Kanan, and a more fleshed out and emotional version of his story with order 66

Here’s where the fun begins

Thanks, Primate! I hope you make a quick and full recovery. Keep well-hydrated while you recuperate. ♊ #ItsAPrimate #StarWars #TheBadBatch

On down the path! May the Force be with you!😎

Definitely the best episode of the season, though they are all good. Loved the reaction!

The female Kaminoan “Nala Se” created Omega by altering the chromosomes of a Jango Fett clone during the embryonic stage. Omega ages normally just like Boba Fett, She’s genetically his twin sister.

the only retcon i didnt like they did for this episode that commander styles or grey i think it was color armor wasn't same as from kanan comics which you have catch up on some my favorite series of kanan from his padwan days to rebels

don’t want to spoil anything, but try to pay attention to Crosshair throughout the entire season :)

Waiting for you to recognize Kanan from Rebels. Yes it it's same voice actor, which was a bit deep for the kid. Took you a while. You remember that Kanan did not like or trust clones when he first met Rex and the boys.

Can you add tales of the Jedi to the list after Andor? Trust me it’s great

Good Soldiers Follow Orders!

6:29 yep it is!

Am surprised you went with the Bad Batch to take over The Mandalorian’s time slot instead of going into The Book of Boba Fett. But Star Wars is Star Wars, I can’t complain! The first season has its ups and downs but overall I think this is the best first season of an animated Star Wars show. It definitely sets up some great storylines and I look forward to your reactions on them

The Mandalorian Season 3 will start airing episodes on February 22. It was recently announced. I really hope you decide to add another day of the week to just react to The Book of Boba Fett done while doing The Bad Batch before that date, Primate. To really help grow your channel, air your reaction to each new episode a day or two after it's released to favor the algorithms. And not wait the 2 weeks or so after your reaction is originally released on patron. All the top reaction channels do this with new shows that are popular to really grow their viewership. But make viewers still wait on older shows like your doing now. It will lead to more patron supporters in the future. It's like making an investment. The Mandalorian is SO BIG that this is a show you would want to make an exception on. I love your channel and want to see it grow like some of the other ones I follow. And I've seen and talked with other content creators on what other channels do to make theirs grow. If you're worried about catching up too fast and too quick, there is so much still coming out soon. The Tales of the Jedi series Season 1 is out. It's another animated series that this season features a young Count Dooku and some Ahsoka back stories. It was fucking awesome!!! That's all I'll say without spoiling it. The Ahsoka live action series will be coming out soon after The Mandalorian Season 3 is released. We have The Acolyte coming out soon after that which is a live action series about the Sith before the prequels start that features a younger Palpatine and other Sith. And don't forget that Andor is airing new episodes right now and it's about to film season 2 while you haven't even got to Kenobi yet which has 6 episodes. So much is coming out soon, many shows are filming or in the process of being animated and won't stop so don't worry about running out of Star Wars content as it's going to be pumped out like crazy. Because you can run right into Season 2 of The Bad Batch after you finish Season 1 since they're going to start airing new episodes on January 4. Did you catch all that without having to re-read it? Just a thought, Primate.

It’s like Clone Wars never even left

caleb is Kanan from rebels btw :D

"I wonder what kind of ability or enhancement is" *Plot armor*

Fun Fact: Omega is technically Boba Fetts Sister

Damn I can't wait for Tales of the Jedi. Best animated thing I've ever seen.

I love the Bad Batch! This was such a great beginning to the series!

Just when I got used to hearing “THE MANDALORIAN” were not onto “THE BAD BATCH”

You expected it to be post clone wars because you absorbed knowledge of the show from the internet! Otherwise you really shoulda had no idea. xDDD You took it in without realizing at some point.

I recommend that you watch the series "agents of shield", it can surprise you in more than one way

Before Kenobi series.... You've got to rewatch the trilogies again!

*Let’s go!* that’s what I’m talking for The Bad Batch.🖤❤️

Omega is Alpha's sister. Otherwise known as Boba Fett.

Because I was rewatching many of your clone wars and Rebels reactions hearing Star Wars and then the bad batch in the intro, was a little weird

PRIMATE! Be careful when you are scrolling down to new episodes on Disney+. Some of the thumbnails on some of the episodes have serious spoilers! So don't get yourself spoiled.

Let's go Primate! This was a good premier.

I would HIGHLY recommend watching the rest of the content before Bad Batch Season 2. Obviously I don't know yet, but there could end up being major spoilers for other shows. Recommend Book of Boba, Kenobi, Andor, and Tales of the Jedi before coming back for season 2. I agree release order is the way to go (minus s7 of CW just like you did)

Best episode of the series for me. The show was alright in general

Let's go bro...this season has some pretty epic moments. But like all animated SW, a bit of filler aimed for the younger audience.

26:43 Her specialty is being a woman clone😂

Omega only has 1 modification - she's a girl, the rest is almost pure Jango

I always love your hatred for Tarkin.
