I was born in 73, so grew up watching the original series, had all the figs and patches from the fan club. I watched the prequels late in college with my roommates, both huge fans. Raised my kids on the Clone Wars. Worked to get them every Lego Star Wars set I could. They loved it. Then came the sequels and by this time I don’t expect much but they hated them. But we get together every week during the run to watch the bad batch. I’ll be sad when it’s over. Btw, we all love Andor!

*Fun fact:* In Legends, the kaminoan Taun We survived the Empire, the New Republic and even the Yuuzhan Vong Wars. However, she left Kamino after its cloning facilities stopped being relevant for the galaxy, working from that point on with Arkanian Microtechnologies. She would meet a terminally-ill Boba Fett again 40 years after Yavin in Vohai

Odd that Sidious wanted to live forever, but didn't worry so much about turning into a demented vegetable.

Even though Moff Gideon cloning force sensitive versions of himself was stupid, that still leaves the chance we could see him again, or at least a clone who somehow survived the destruction of the others, and is now wandering the galaxy fighting turning to the Dark Side, with unreliable Force powers.

Gogurt. Lol throwback

It is wild how important this show has become

Let's not forget about Dr. Silo, the guy who designed Darth Vaders suite, was able to split his conciousness between clone bodies.

"Or Maybe She is Force Sensitive" Really? You Think? That would be a total out of no where plot twist... I had just figured they put a bounty on her and chased her back and forth across the galaxy because they wanted to clone a bunch of really nice moral people.

8:10 Speaking of Joruus C'Baoth, the original Jedi master Jorus C'Baoth was also avpretty fascinating character, being basically a Jedi with cruel intentions and personality. He was pretty cool in the "Outbound Flight" novel

My major problem with Palpatine being always behind The First Order is the treatment of the rank and file. The FO was hardly kindler and gentler, but it was a great deal more practical about how it treated its soldiers, a vastly different degree of disposability. I cannot see Palpatine, even in a disguised remove, being able to fake placing somewhat if still limited genuine value on those serving on the front lines.

The best Star Wars channel on youtube.

I'm looking forward to this more than I ever did Ahsoka or Obiwan or any of the live action stuff (except Andor, which is awesome). The animated stuff really has the best stories.

when the Omega m-count drop hit, I was immediately hit with this parallel of how our fav clones were molded under the guidance of jedis playing the unnatural part of warrior through the clone wars. Now in BB we have the converse of warriors playing the unnatural role of mentor to a young force sensitive, just coincidentally passing along the jedi wisdoms they picked up however many years ago. Small things like telling her the key is to tune out distractions far back as ssn 1. Just nice to have found your channel and know that someone else has the desire to draw larger thematic lines between the pieces of media.

As someone who grew up watching the original in 77 and loved all the movies and shows since, I'm a bit torn. While I know a lot of the lore, including legends, I still enjoy the Disney stuff as entertainment. I guess I'm either old enough or not a big enough SW nerd, to where the twisting, changing and erasing a lot of lore just doesn't bother me enough to "hate" it. I've been watching Star Wars for 47 years now.... 😮. Honestly, I'm just happy to have SW to watch in 2024! Yeah, Rey got too powerful, too quickly... But Luke kind of did too. If episodes 4-6 came out today we'd be saying the same about him. To me, just like when I was an 8 year old kid in 1977, the movies and shows are just FUN to watch!

I hope it does what you say, and more. Why I like the Ahsoka series so much. Rebels was just wonderful, and it has been a utter joy to see my favorite charters get their story expanded. I mean who does not love the cameo of Kanan Jarrus or a young Hera Syndulla in the Bad Batch??!?

Nothing will fix the Sequels, they base is just wrong, nothing will make it make sense, the only way is taking them outside of the canon. The hate for the prequels was the childish theme and how it was slow not that it didn't make sense. The sequels have too many random characters and ridiculous plot decisions like the tool used at the end of the third movie or stuff even as basic as Rey being too powerful and knowing everything without ever having training. Even the Anakin which was the chosen one and the best duelist in the entire galaxy couldn't ever do any of that without proper Jedi training. There's just not way to fix it and the reason people hate anything related to it is because it's just not star wars, there's no love behind it.

I'd just like to see someone explain why an enthusiastic dreamer like Luke who believed in the fight would literally walk away entirely from the New Republic in its hour of direst need, including abandoning Leia entirely. Yes, by ROTJ Luke was in his Goth era, but he still fervently believed in doing what was right.

I believe Omega's special trait is that of strategy, based off how the beat everyone in Cid's bar at that holotable game.

Young Kanan in season 1 is still hilarious.

I'm a little surprised that such a big Thrawn fan as you got this wrong: Thrawn did not clone C'baoth, nor was he ever TRYING to clone him, or any other Force-sensitive. And it wasn't impossible or nearly impossible to clone Force-sensitives in the Legends stories. But these are 2 separate things, so let's go one at a time. 1 - clones who were Force-sensitive tended to go insane rather quickly. Clones in general are thought to eventually go insane most of the time, usually from being grown too quickly. At the time when Zahn wrote the novels, Lucas had no framework for what the Clone Wars actually were other than the fact that the clones turned on everyone and it was devastating. "Maybe they go insane" was about all he had. So Zahn worked up a backstory that cloning had become too common and as always happens with something that gets done a lot, corners started being cut. Clones were being grown to maturity too quickly, which made them go nutty, and when a Force-sensitive goes insane, devastation reigns. That is why the whole premise of Thrawn's campaign is to get ysalamiri from Myrkr and install them all around the Spaarti cloning cylinders so that none of the clones he grows can be Force-sensitive, which allows him to have fully grown clones within a month. The people Thrawn was cloning was his best fighter pilots, gunners, and infantry men, NOT Jedi. 2 - Joruus C'baoth was the clone of Jorus C'baoth, and Thrawn knew that when he met him. Jorus and Joruus were both equally arrogant, aggravatingly superior and judgemental, overconfident, thought that their Force-sensitivity gave them the right to rule others and judge them, and that non-Force sensitives were weak and incapable of independent thought. Thrawn knew C'baoth was a clone, and he knew that he was insane, but Thrawn (overconfidentally) thought he could control and manipulate C'baoth, perhaps belieing the fact that him being insane would make him easier to control. He was using C'baoth to coordinate his forces through Battle Meditation techniques, something which became ridiculously easy for C'baoth once the forces in question were clones. At no time was Thrawn ever trying to create Force-sensitive clones. The whole point of the ysalamiri clusters was to keep any of the clones from ever possibly becoming Force-sensitive, which in turn would ensure that they remained mentally stable and didn't go crazy and start killing randomly. The idea that it's difficult to create Force-sensitive clones is a New Canon thought.

0:14 Have you notice and see that they have a new ship in this episode who's the 12th and called 《Juggernaut》because their original ship is destroy on Pabu during precedent épisodes (Probably in the 10th or the 11th but can also be in the 6th or the 7th)

later Tonight? Wait what?! I haven't been paying attention.

As I understand it, Jar Jar (Darth Plagueis) was suppose to be revealed as a sith lord, master of Darth Sidious, in episode 2, and killed by Sidious at the end of episode 2. Dooku, the shadow apprentice, would then become the official apprentice. Then, in episodes 7-9, Snoke would be revealed to be Darth Plagueis and we would learn how he created Anakin Skywalker as a vessel for his next body (Darth Plagueis having a body switching dark side ability). The final battle happening on Exogol where Darth Plagueis is finally defeated and his body switching compound is destroyed by Rey Palpatine and Ben Solo. This was the rhyme Lucas frequently spoke of, with every second episode in each trilogy being a big reveal, the first episode of each trilogy laying the groundwork for the story, and the last episode of each trilogy resolving the big reveal, the last trilogy tying back to the first trilogy. Why Lucas didn't pull the trigger on this grand plan is anyone's guess. Sounds like he was convinced to play it safe and relegate Jar Jar to comic relief clown. It's disappointing.

Thanks for the reminder!

bad batch is the origin of the project necromancry leading to his resurrection

Good job Alen!

I am a Star Wars Fan and I like the Bad Batch and the Prequels and all of Star Wars give Jedi Master Beck a Show and may the force be with you.

This was a dope Video! Keep it up!

Oh, Gideon certainly lifted research. Intel, secrets, information- thst is his wheelhouse, as well as egomania

I must admit that I am one of the people who, at the beginning of the prequels, hated Jar Jar Binks the most. And then the movie progressed long enough to bring in midichlorians. I developed a new hate. When the original trilogy was written, one of the things in vogue was spiritualism. We were prepared for the science-fiction wizards to balance the science by having spiritual powers. By the time the prequels came along, biological science and especially the fiction of biological science had progressed so that there was at least an excuse for taking away that balance of spirituality vs science to make it All science, with no balancing factor. Midichlorians took away the wonder of the force for me. - I do agree with you that Star Wars has found having series to be a very effective way of filling out the world that we all really want. I really hope that the continuation of the Bad Batch is as excellent as it had been becoming, and if they can explain the return of Palpatine, that would be great. But they cannot fix the problems with the character's story arcs. In the first movie, Finn starts out as a coward who is trying to get his feelings in line with his actions/experiences - he goes through personal growth and develops courage and depth. He does the same thing in the second movie, as though the first movie had never happened. Don't change directors between movies - you get battles of ego, as we got in the sequels. It's sad. I want them all scrapped.

Cool theory, really like the idea. Sounds reasonable.

As an older fan, I like the Batch because they remind me of the old 80’s show The A-Team. 😁

At this point, I think it's still possible to erase the Sequel Trilogy, since the Project Necromancer stuff isn't explicitly, or even subtly connecting to Snoke specifically. It very well could take a turn and do the proper Palpatine clone storyline from Legends.

I have felt this way since Last Jedi.

But will Bad Batch answer my out standing Star Wars question, "Why was Ahsokado boring?" In fairness I only watched the first three episodes, but I after three episodes you are not getting any more of my time unless you have earned it.

Earliest ive ever been! Hi Allen! Also I hope Tech comes back

This gives me hope for the future of Star Wars

Hi Allen !

Very excited

Boba Fett was a low level force sensitives in Legends with hightened reflexes and low level precognition, like spidey sense.

But in canon everyone has a connexion to the force when they are trained enough, so a clone should also have that ability to, thus Palpatine could have used any body he wanted to inhabit

Some thing that would be cool is a show or movie where they fight the spice sindicates because there is not much info about them

wow cool

7:45 Or perhaps medichlorians are simply too complex to replicate in a laboratory at least by earlier science.

I saw a theory video in 2016 that palps was related to rey because of her stabby lightsaber tachnique in episode 7

It comes out tomorrow?

I already figured out that the Bad Batch was going to lay the groundwork for what will allow Sidious to cheat death. Having read the Old EU, it seemed logical

First off, triple episode release was a great surprise. Secondly, definitely in the past disney got overexcited and found the trending directors to make the three films, without really considering the lore, a proper three film story arc or good and consistent character arcs. And thirdly ,agreed they are now trying to fix it. , like GL did with the clone wars (though the bigger issue there was they were kids films and we had all become adults). I think future films will be better thought through, and both the direction and the lore considered from a whole universe point of view. At least that is what i hope, and hope is what these things were built on.

I had to replay a part because I thought you called him Dr. hemorrhoid

First let’s go Allen !

I think that transmedia story telling is the best way for Star Wars to move forward. It gives story tellers the freedom to do what they please, within reason, while also providing Disney tons of series to market and new potential avenues for making money.

The bad batch is a fantastic show with big things happening 👏

Looking like they are building up the jedi clone story that was hinted at with Grogu

TBB as it’s one entity is just okay to me, but it is beautiful in terms of how it connects the whole current canon

Could it be that the problem is not cloning of the Jedi or Sith individual, but with the cloning of the midi-chlorians that give the individual force abilities?

I think most people figured the clone wars series was supposed to tie in a lot of the questions in the prequel series and to establish wht Anakin fell to the dark side.

All this infusing clones with the force stuff takes me back to JK 2: Jedi Outcast and the valley of the jedi. They weren't clones but it may have inspired the idea.

So sad that Andor and the Bad Batch which are arguably the best shows disney star wars has produced have been the two shows that have fallen the most off the radar of the public.

3:40 more seasons of the Clone Wars planned? 😂pretty sure there’s nothing left to tell in that era unless you’re referring to Tales of the Jedi season 2

Can you guys make a video on parallels between Star Wars and Hinduism?

Not necessarily cloning force sensitives, but the Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast video game entertained the idea of infusing force powers into people by means of what was then simply known as a lightsaber crystal.

I mean I like the Bad Batch (mostly except for the filler episodes where there is actually kinda much of them especially in the first season), but I really dont like how they are trying to justify the bullshit that they've pulled with Episode 9. So explain this bullshit all you want to the audience, the 9th Episode of the Skywalker Saga is still absolute dogshit even with Bad Batch or Mando trying to explain how Palpatine returned, it just doesnt make the movie in itself a better movie and I dont get how people are so enthusiastic about Disney trying to find a good explanation for a bad story.

Seriously, AOTC was my favourite to see for the first time in the cinema. ROTS was good but anticlimactic knowing how it would end.

generations tech do you believe characters like boba,vos and other not just ventress will appear yes or no

Usually so i can binge.. i will 3or 4 vids have posted.. knowing what happened before watching doesn’t bother me

He’s like “oh, there were no clues whatsoever that he was returning in the first two films.” Ahh. Hard to see the dark side is.

I hope that later on the sequel trilogy will either considered longer canon to Star Wars or it will be announced that this whole new poorly made trilogy was an alternate timeline.

I was explaining to a friend how Clone Wars animated series "made" the prequels better and that I hoped that new SW series could "make" the sequel trilogy better. Then as I was speaking, I conceded a novel concept that another way of doing things would be just to make better movies in the first place. Ultimately, I love all the animated series and they add so much more to the story; it's just unfortunate that they seem to be given the additional burden of lifting poorly thought-out movies.

I think Nala se loved omega the same way a farmer might love a particularly nice plant

Regardless of their quality, I always enjoy Star Wars films. I like that the shows and other media are filling in the blanks in the movies. Putting the pieces together by experiencing how the dots in the films are connected through the expanded media makes me appreciate Star Wars lore even more. No matter what other fans may think, I hope Disney keeps this coming.

Grogurt ?

I think you’ve read Nala Se completely wrong. Nala Se watched the Empire wipe out her entire species.

Watching this gave me an idea for an episode topic you could cover: the underlying dichotomy of the embedded propaganda to condition a young generation of future soldiers here on earth. Hear me out: the clone wars aired during the height of the global war on terror. Throughout the show’s run, you have this recurring message of patriotism: good soldiers follow orders - set in a period in which the republic for which they are fighting for is in its death throes from rampant corruption, identity politics, and factionalism within its own ranks leading to the rise of authoritarianism. The soldiers themselves have no choice: they are slaves to the republic for which they fight while simultaneously attempting to liberate planets (some of whom don’t want their help or are actively fighting against them) much like the soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, yet it is painted to appeal to children and teenagers, some of whom went on to join the military and get sent into combat. The show highlights the corruption with sidious orchestrating the whole thing with the help of the military industrial complex, while also putting that patriotic message in of good soldiers follow orders - even when that order is to frag your commander and then brutally suppress the civilian population in the area you are operating. I see a great many parallels to the real world and I think it would make for a very interesting episode for you to cover

Thank you for acknowledging that the prequels were hated! Too many people fand and content creators alike, push the idea that all star wars movies were beloved without exception until the sequels. That just isn't true and never ever was! Jar Jar Binks was HATED! Episode 2 was hated! So was episode 3- few people were okay with Darth Vader killing children or his NOOOOOOOO/DO NOT WANT at the end of the film. It is weird that noone remembers the DO NOT WANT meme!

Shit didn't realize that was tonight

I love bad batch and sad this is the last season.

Ok, but we can all admit that season 2 of BB was actually really interesting and fit well into the stuff that happened after 3

Eleven minutes in, three episodes dropped. GT theories confirmed.

Can a quantum computer be sensitive to the Cosmic force. Astromechs

Wait the bad batch starts today?

1 sec in and I agree that the bad batch was designed to put the pieces of the star wars universe together in one piece. (minus Andor which will have its own arc)

Thrawn did not create C'boath. He found him on Wayland.

I’ve always felt the biggest flaw with the trilogy of sequel films is that they were mis-numbered. I am certain that the trilogy would have been better received had they been numbered Episodes 10, 11, and 12.

Fun headcanon: the Many deaths of the jedi master Shaak-ti are ALL canon.... Because she was the secret jedi cloniing a Force sensitives experiment... 😏

I am a Star Wars fan and one aspect of the fandom that frustrates me if the fact that a large portion of our crowd criticizes (negatively) any production that is not about Skywalker and lightsabers. The Star Wars universe has so much more to offer. The Andor series, for example, is doing a great job exploring that. I personally like The Bad Batch. Folks need to grow up, perhaps?

Apparently season 3 will be the final season

GoGurt :DDD

Like obviously so Can you guys make a video on parallels between Star Wars and Hinduism? "Maybe The Bad Batch Season 3 will do for the sequel trilogy what The Clone Wars did for the prequel trilogy." I kinda wish that it'll do to the sequel trilogy what the Enola Gay did to Japan, honestly. Usually, I can binge. I will 3or 4 vids have been posted.. knowing what happened before watching doesn’t bother me

It's always a tad annoying being in the UK when a Star Wars series drops, I may be speaking myself, but we always end up a day behind, unless we stop up until 4am or some other stoopid time 🤣

I don't think that making a good movie or filling in background info is necessarily an either or situation, even good movies can benefit from tie in's to fix a plot hole or give greater context, in the same way that a not so good movie can try to go back to fix things. I will admit that the clone wars has improved my opinion of revenge of the Sith, but it's existence is also an admission that Lucas rushed the seduction to darkness part of the plot.

Honestly, you ask me this is no different then what the clone wars did for the prequels, those films has so many threads, and unfulfilled character arcs that were rectified by that show I see no reason why the sequels shouldn’t get the same care in order to remedy some of his shortcomings

Why can't minichorlians be injected

7:10 Aaaaw this little guy is absolutely ADORABLE! Did you call Grogu "Yogurt"??? But seriously I hope Disney would just stop trying to make the Disney trilogy into a thing as it was and still is a disaster trilogy. Keep the Disney trilogy OUT of the canon! Pilfering EU materiel that had allready been canned as canon long before Disney when the Thrawn trilogy came around despite them swearing they never would. Okay Lucas made some mistakes that he mostly owned up to. Like Jar Jar for example scaling him down after Phantom Menace Disney on the oither hand scaled up on the stupid and did not own up to their mistakes.

Bad Batch forever

People hated the prequels just as much as people today hate the sequels. Sometimes it kind of feels like people are either lying about there being no/little hate for the prequels, or just weren’t on the internet back then… I swear there are some people I’ve seen that seem downright delusional about it… Also, the novel’s definitely hinted at Palpatine’s possible return before and after episode 8 Okay mini rant over

Oh shit yeah Ventress being a force clone makes sense? Like obviously so

It tomorrow, not tonight

I'm an old fan ('82) and I love The Bad Batch, but that said... 7-9 is not the trilogy I was looking for, and it NEVER will be.

I have no interest in the sequels, however I think it would’ve been cool if bad batch had come out before the sequels and build the world up for the trilogy, and then those movies could have been so much better. Just my 2 cents cheers.

Baby Gogurt? LMFAO😂
