In this week's episode, the boys dive into The Bad Batch. This is part one of a two part series that will conclude with the release of the finale of The Bad Batch Season 3
00:00:00
So you're telling me, Brick3PO, you joined this group, this call, and you didn't say beep?
00:00:07
Roger roger!
00:00:08
Wow that's fucked.
00:00:09
Uh oh.
00:00:10
That one always gets me.
00:00:14
You're gonna have to make your own server to get your uh, to have just the entire soundboard ready to go.
00:00:22
What are some of these in bunk? Why would he put that in here?
00:00:25
I like this one though.
00:00:26
Nuh uh.
00:00:27
What is this?
00:00:28
Hyah hyah hyah hyah hyah.
00:00:31
Interesting.
00:00:33
Oh a classic.
00:00:34
Red means bad.
00:00:36
Red means bad
00:00:37
Where the fuck is Xotic? I was the only one allowed to be late today.
00:00:41
I put a whole bag of jellybeans up my ass and it's been 24 hours
00:00:47
and I still ain't heard from fuckin' Xotic.
00:00:49
I bet he's playing league of fuckin' legends.
00:00:53
What the fuck was... what the fuck is that? Is that your join sound?
00:01:01
Yeah. It's the Battlefront, come on, Rick?
00:01:04
Wait, do it again? You don't know what that sound is?
00:01:05
Do it again. You don't know what that sound is?
00:01:07
Do it again, I don't recognize it. Oh my god.
00:01:11
Bro, that's the loading screen sound for Battlefront 1.
00:01:19
Yeah, I never play Battlefront 1. I only play Battlefront 3.
00:01:22
And that's why... We're better than you.
00:01:25
And... no. Neither one of you are better than me. I get to die first.
00:01:29
We're better than you. No, no.
00:01:31
That just makes you a quitter. No, no, it doesn't. I didn't choose that. Quitters choose.
00:01:37
Quitters do not choose? Yeah.
00:01:40
Nah, you just a coward. You have to choose to quit.
00:01:45
Nah, you could choose to fight it and live, but nah, you're gonna take the easy way out. I see.
00:01:51
I'm fighting and living now.
00:01:53
It sounds like the Kato thing. You're surviving, it's different.
00:01:56
Yeah, but I mean, again, I have to make the choice to survive.
00:01:59
Everybody does. Yeah.
00:02:01
Well, no. No, they don't. No. No. No.
00:02:05
I think so. Survival isn't a choice.
00:02:07
It is. No, it isn't.
00:02:09
No, you can choose to survive, but survival's not a choice.
00:02:12
We can agree to disagree. We can agree to... you're dumb.
00:02:16
I think I'm quite smart-ical.
00:02:18
When are you coming to play Destiny with me?
00:02:20
The second you give me incentive to play Destiny with you.
00:02:24
You're the one that said you wanted to play Destiny.
00:02:26
I do want to play Destiny.
00:02:28
Exactly. That's your intent, though.
00:02:30
Yeah, I can do that without you. You're just ugly.
00:02:32
You said when you're going to invite me to play Destiny with you.
00:02:36
I may have said that, shoot, I say a lot of things.
00:02:39
Exactly, and I'm just playing off of that sentence, so if you don't want to play, okay, I won't ask anymore.
00:02:43
Yeah, yeah, don't ask it. No, wait, hold on. Ask at least two more times, but then don't ask anymore.
00:02:48
No, you want to be rude? If you want to be rude, fuck you.
00:02:50
You're always rude!
00:02:52
No, I'm not!
00:02:53
You want me to repeat the rudest thing you've ever said?
00:02:57
What?
00:02:58
Hey, everyone, and this is Exotic's Encyclopedia of Four Specs.
00:03:03
Today's episode, did you know...
00:03:05
You're mad!
00:03:09
You're mad. You're mad. You're so mad.
00:03:13
Have I ever been rude?
00:03:16
Factual, yes, but rude, no.
00:03:18
Yeah, you're fucked.
00:03:19
You're always rude.
00:03:20
No, I'm not!
00:03:22
Exotic, what do you call me literally every time we interact with each other?
00:03:26
A bozo?
00:03:27
Yeah, okay.
00:03:28
That's not rude. It's factual.
00:03:30
How is it factual?
00:03:32
Have you ever met you?
00:03:33
Yes! I hate myself more than anyone. I live with me, okay?
00:03:38
That's rude! That literal... that you literally just say, have you ever met you? That's so rude!
00:03:45
What?
00:03:46
Okay, what do you call yourself every time?
00:03:48
What do you call me whenever...
00:03:50
Exotic.
00:03:51
You talk to me. No.
00:03:52
Exotic.
00:03:53
You call me a bitch every single time.
00:03:55
I have not... no, no, no. You are a bitch. I don't call you a bitch.
00:03:58
That's rude. A bozo's not as rude as a bitch.
00:04:00
No, that's factual.
00:04:02
You bitch.
00:04:28
Hey everyone and may the force be with you. Nikkada... oh wait, I forgot what I was going to say completely.
00:04:33
Hmm. Well anyways, I'm super excited. I have not watched the last two? Last one episode I think.
00:04:40
Loser.
00:04:41
Something like that.
00:04:42
You're good.
00:04:43
Yeah, I'm very bad at keeping up to date, but I did my best.
00:04:46
I don't know. Clearly your best didn't involve watching the last two episodes of Bad Batch, so...
00:04:51
Yeah, true.
00:04:52
Sorry, I'm enjoying the fuck out of this snow cone. You haven't caught up either?
00:04:57
No, I'm like, I think... I don't even know. I think I'm like five or six episodes in.
00:05:01
Oh, well, okay. We're mostly just talking about...
00:05:04
Season one and two.
00:05:05
Basically. We can talk some of season three since you haven't watched some of it.
00:05:09
But then the next episode will probably be like the finale, honestly.
00:05:13
Because the finale is on May 4th, right?
00:05:15
I think so. At least that's when Tales of the Empire comes out. I'm assuming it's around that time.
00:05:21
Is it May 4th? I thought it was later.
00:05:23
The Zumbos guys mentioned that it was like going to be that day.
00:05:25
I think they were wrong. A two-parter.
00:05:28
Well, I mean, they were wrong about most stuff, so...
00:05:32
When were they ever right, honestly?
00:05:34
Hey, this isn't part of the episode recording. Save it for the show.
00:05:40
Wow, why haven't you...
00:05:41
No, we're recording, but I'm just saying like the episode recording.
00:05:45
I fucked up the intro, so I just bailed on it.
00:05:49
What's new?
00:05:51
I was just like, oh, never mind. Fuck this. This is my old time.
00:05:54
Imagine every single take that you've ever had about Star Wars being the worst possible one.
00:06:00
And that's Film Bros.
00:06:03
Look, it's all in good fun, right? We're friends. We're all chill.
00:06:07
As long as I don't have to do another 10-hour recording, we're all chill.
00:06:12
That first recording was rough. I didn't know what I was expecting, but four hours was not it.
00:06:16
I can't wait for this.
00:06:17
This last one was only like an hour and 45. It was fine.
00:06:21
I can't wait for it. Bonk Bonk's gonna have a fucking field day.
00:06:24
Is Bonk Bonk... Does Bonk Bonk like the sequels better? I forget.
00:06:29
I think he likes the OGs the best.
00:06:31
Oh, then yeah, he's definitely just gonna rip them a new asshole.
00:06:34
And that's not even what we're talking about.
00:06:36
Damn.
00:06:37
I know. He's gonna wait for one Film Bro hot take and Bonk Bonk will run with it.
00:06:43
Bonk Bonk's more B-ing than I am.
00:06:45
Bro, they're cold takes. They're not even hot at all.
00:06:47
Bro, I was so mad. I was actually mad the first time I told them, eat shit and live.
00:06:54
He pressed my button. I was like, oh, dude, eat shit and live.
00:06:58
And they were like, damn.
00:06:59
Got to one point where I was just repeating, shut the fuck up for like 30 seconds.
00:07:04
Like, how are you gonna sit there and be like, D-D-Darth Tyrannus. D-Darth Tyrannus. D-D-What about Darth Tyrannus?
00:07:12
Like, bro, we had an entire movie of build up with like little hints and clues and you couldn't put that together.
00:07:19
But you think the fucking last Jedi. No, not the last.
00:07:23
The Rise of Skywalker was like so good.
00:07:27
And the fact that they had no build up for Palpatine coming back equates to the same thing as Darth Tyrannus.
00:07:33
Shut the fuck up.
00:07:34
They have build up. They have build up.
00:07:36
What build up? Yeah, the opening crawl. Shut up.
00:07:39
Okay, I've had enough snow cone for right now.
00:07:40
Let's hope I don't fuck up the intro this time.
00:07:43
But for real, I'm like, this is this is you two guys to show you guys are the clone boys.
00:07:48
So or at least the Mando boys, whatever.
00:07:51
Exactly. For sure. Clone boy.
00:07:52
So y'all have fun with your episode.
00:07:55
I am I'm I'm I'm co-hosting today.
00:07:58
I'm not I'm not the host of the show today.
00:07:59
So I actually have a bad memory.
00:08:02
I don't I don't remember the bad stuff.
00:08:04
Season one. Cool.
00:08:06
Good luck, buddy.
00:08:07
See, season one is quite a far ways away.
00:08:10
You got this, Exotic.
00:08:11
Take it away.
00:08:12
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:08:13
You go, girl.
00:08:14
I believe in you.
00:08:15
Anyways, I don't know about that one.
00:08:17
Welcome to the force unscripted, everyone.
00:08:19
It's your boy, Nikita here with my wonderful hosts, hosts for the day.
00:08:24
When she and Exotic, I am your starring co-host, Nikita.
00:08:29
Welcome to the show.
00:08:31
I hope you guys are excited.
00:08:33
We're ready for the bad batch, boys.
00:08:35
You are way right through this.
00:08:37
All right.
00:08:38
So how do we want how we want to go about this?
00:08:40
Like we got we got three seasons of bad batch.
00:08:43
We're covering the first two, right?
00:08:45
Maybe a little bit of the third one that we've seen so far, but not everybody's caught up.
00:08:49
So like we'll probably just focus on the first two here.
00:08:52
What what what does everybody think about Omega?
00:08:55
Unless that's how I'm going to start this off.
00:08:57
What's everybody think about Omega and like Omega's development so far?
00:09:00
She's my favorite character.
00:09:02
For real.
00:09:03
Honestly, I like it's her and then Wrecker.
00:09:06
And those are the two loves of my life.
00:09:08
And I love their relationship together.
00:09:10
No, no, it's not.
00:09:11
No, I'm very much an Omega fan.
00:09:13
Omega.
00:09:14
Dude, I'm all about Hunter and Crosshair.
00:09:17
Of course you are.
00:09:18
Of course you are.
00:09:20
OK.
00:09:21
My only gripe with Hunter is that or not with Hunter with Crosshair is that like the style on his Imperial armor was so much better than his, you know, Force 99 armor.
00:09:31
Did you see?
00:09:33
Oh, yeah, you did the episode where they stripped it all black.
00:09:36
I like how that looked too.
00:09:37
Yeah, like, oh, man, that that shit was so so much better.
00:09:41
I want that Imperial armor back.
00:09:43
It was good.
00:09:44
I want that.
00:09:45
I want that helmet.
00:09:46
I actually want that helmet.
00:09:47
I want to wear it.
00:09:48
I want to wear it.
00:09:49
I want to hold a sniper rifle.
00:09:50
Oh, yeah.
00:09:51
I'll cosplay as I'll cosplay as Crosshair.
00:09:53
I'd even cosplay as Hunter because I mean, he's a badass, especially with a knife.
00:09:57
Homies, homies crazy.
00:09:58
You're just kind of ignoring the elephant in the room on that one, aren't you?
00:10:01
My name is Wenchi.
00:10:02
I don't know what you're talking about.
00:10:05
I have no clue.
00:10:06
At least you knew what I was talking about.
00:10:08
Yeah, you did.
00:10:09
Uh huh.
00:10:10
Sure.
00:10:13
No correlation whatsoever.
00:10:15
Yeah, we can we can roll with that.
00:10:17
OK, wait, hold on.
00:10:18
Let's talk about.
00:10:19
OK, go ahead.
00:10:20
Before you do that.
00:10:21
Before we get there, before we cross that treacherous bridge, Mr.
00:10:24
Exotic, if you're shitting on me for Omega, who's yours?
00:10:28
I mean, more of an Echo enjoyer.
00:10:30
You know, he's in a permanent place in it, but he is still part of Clone Force 99.
00:10:35
You know, I can respect that.
00:10:36
I won't give you shit this time.
00:10:37
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:38
I mean, I fucking love the Clone Wars animated series.
00:10:43
So, you know, he was a big part of that.
00:10:45
And he's just even better.
00:10:46
That's true.
00:10:47
He had a lot of development.
00:10:48
Wait, question.
00:10:49
I know random side note, but they killed fives, right?
00:10:51
Yeah.
00:10:52
Poor fives.
00:10:53
He was the one about to leak the secrets on the.
00:10:56
He was ahead of his time.
00:10:57
Yeah.
00:10:58
Anyways, I know we got sidetracked.
00:10:59
So what about Omega?
00:11:00
I love her.
00:11:01
What do you guys think about the whole special clone?
00:11:05
Like, OK, I mean, are we touching on aspects of season three that we've seen?
00:11:10
Yeah, yeah, because we're probably going to.
00:11:12
Next episode is probably going to be around finale time.
00:11:15
So close it out.
00:11:16
OK, so like, yeah, yeah.
00:11:17
What do we think about like the M count, the special?
00:11:19
So I really want OK, because we know like Morgan Elisabeth in like the future stuff
00:11:25
and like they're giving Morgan Elisabeth stuff, which has the empire.
00:11:28
Like, I really want the Assaj thing to mean something in regards to that stuff.
00:11:33
And I think them bringing her in would be cool because if she like, you know,
00:11:40
shows Omega certain things or whatever, she already has like apprenticed her
00:11:45
to some degree, then that means that Omega was taught by Ventress,
00:11:50
was taught by Duke, who was taught by Yoda.
00:11:52
And that puts Omega in the Yoda line.
00:11:54
And I'm OK with that.
00:11:55
But also, I really want to see what they do with this whole M count thing,
00:11:58
because I know it has to kind of go into the Necromancer project,
00:12:02
which probably is something to do with Palpatine and the shitty Rise of Skywalker
00:12:06
stuff. But like, I want to see what they do with.
00:12:09
I really want her to like, I don't necessarily want her to be a force user,
00:12:12
but I want her to have like one of those force moments where like she loses
00:12:16
herself to the passion of the moment or like, you know, just kind of snaps
00:12:21
and reacts and, you know, is it triggered or something?
00:12:23
I want like a force event, not necessarily her to be force sensitive
00:12:28
and, you know, Jedi trained, whatever.
00:12:31
Yeah, because like an M count does not make a force user, right?
00:12:34
Like, M count makes not a force user, but, you know, they do have potential.
00:12:39
Like just like Sabine did, right?
00:12:42
You know, she obviously had a good a good M count.
00:12:44
It wasn't like amazing, but it may not be like Ventress.
00:12:49
I feel like, OK, Omega probably has more M count than Sabine does.
00:12:52
I would I would wager just because there's no way that the Kaminoans were
00:12:58
going to settle for anything less than perfect.
00:13:00
Right. Which one's which one's the the Kaminoan that I forget her name?
00:13:04
Nala Se? Nala Se. Yeah.
00:13:06
Like no way Nala Se was going to settle for anything less than perfect.
00:13:08
And especially like how much she dotes on Omega, even though like they just view the clones as like products,
00:13:14
tells me that like she's a very special entity towards even towards the Kaminoans and like what they're doing.
00:13:20
Right. The fact that she even made, you know, an M count high at high M count clone in general is is interesting.
00:13:27
Like, well, was it that she was trying to perfect like the Fett genome
00:13:31
and turn like the perfect Jedi killers into a Jedi as well to give them like that extra
00:13:36
like the the perfect soldier kind of thing?
00:13:39
Or was it more like a passion project of hers where she wanted to like be able to clone a force user
00:13:45
and, you know, build a really powerful maybe like leader or something for like a future army or whatnot?
00:13:50
I think it was completely chance.
00:13:52
I think that testing the other clones for M counts is stupid.
00:13:56
I think that the only two who could have had an M count are Alpha and Omega.
00:13:59
So Boba or Omega.
00:14:01
Like, I think those are the only two that could have possibly had an M count.
00:14:04
And it just so happened that it was Omega, flipped the coin, got a female Fett
00:14:08
and then got the coin on fucking midi-chlorian count.
00:14:12
That's what the M count.
00:14:13
But what about Emery? Like Emery is a like she's a female fat clone, right?
00:14:18
That's true. But is she unaltered?
00:14:20
We don't know if she's unaltered or not.
00:14:21
We know that Omega and Boba are unaltered.
00:14:24
So which means that Fett, Jango Fett had the potential to not only be one of the greatest Mandalorians of all time,
00:14:32
but also a Mandalorian Jedi or Sith or whatever.
00:14:37
Jango probably had an M count. Most things have midi-chlorians.
00:14:40
That's what I'm saying.
00:14:41
No wonder he was able to fuck up Jedi with his bare hands.
00:14:44
Homie was tapping into the rage.
00:14:46
No wonder when he goes rage mode, all of a sudden Jedi start dropping like flies.
00:14:51
Boy is tapping into the dark side.
00:14:53
I don't want to go too far into that because it just makes me want a female Jango Fett Jedi badass
00:15:01
running around now. And I know I'm not going to get that because I know Omega is not going to survive this.
00:15:07
I know where this is going.
00:15:09
Are you sure? Are you sure? Okay.
00:15:11
You know, really? You don't think Omega is going to make it?
00:15:13
Well, it's the bad batch for a reason. It's not the happy batch. It's not the good batch.
00:15:18
Okay. So who do you think? I mean, we're already getting into prediction territory,
00:15:22
but who do you think is going to make it out of this?
00:15:24
Zero. I don't think anyone is. Like just take a look at Rebels, the only three clones they ever show.
00:15:29
I think if anyone makes it out of this, it's Wrecker because he deserves to live forever.
00:15:34
Damn, because I think it's going to go Crosshair, Wrecker, and then Hunter if they all die.
00:15:40
No, I think Crosshair. So I had this theory that like Crosshair was going to have, because of that bird
00:15:47
when he killed that Imperial officer, I thought that he was going to have like a death to be an inspiring
00:15:53
to the clone forces to Omega. And I don't think that's going to happen anymore.
00:15:57
I think he might end up being last man standing. Like how tragic would that be for his character?
00:16:02
Okay. So you haven't seen the most recent episode, right? Oh, no, I haven't.
00:16:06
Okay. Not that like anything happened to any of the like all the characters are still around,
00:16:10
but like there was some like premonition kind of stuff that Rampart was talking about.
00:16:16
Oh, not Rampart. Like Rampart and Crosshair had like a little moment.
00:16:21
And I'm curious to see who was right, Crosshair or Rampart. I have a feeling it's Crosshair.
00:16:26
And he'll either go out like first. I mean, first of all, we got to figure out what's going to happen to Echo
00:16:31
because he's there too. So you got like Echo, Wrecker, Crosshair, Hunter.
00:16:35
I feel like it's going to go Echo either Crosshair or Wrecker. And then the last one will be Hunter.
00:16:42
I think Crosshair is going to do some like heroic sacrifice shit.
00:16:46
Hunter is going to be the one. He's like the leader who, you know, was always trying to like keep his family together.
00:16:52
And then he's going to end up the last one standing, you know, realizing that either it's going to be really dark and shitty
00:16:59
and he's going to be, you know, unable to save his friends or maybe he'll and then die himself
00:17:05
or maybe he'll rescue Omega and the two of them will go off together and like fuck off to the, you know, far side of the galaxy or something.
00:17:11
I really think it's going to be the other way around. I think Hunter is going to die.
00:17:15
Then it's going to be Wrecker then Crosshair.
00:17:18
We really started to see it jump straight to the end, huh?
00:17:22
You started it.
00:17:24
I just think it's going to be left up to Crosshair and Omega at the end
00:17:28
because they've already built on that relationship after they've already built the relationship with the original crew.
00:17:33
I feel like that's what they're going to try to do.
00:17:35
Actually, hold on. You started this. You started asking about Omega of all things. Like what we thought about her.
00:17:41
I asked about Omega and the M Count and then you started going into the-
00:17:44
Which is season three.
00:17:46
Okay. So that means you started it, stupid.
00:17:49
I didn't start doing predictions. That was you.
00:17:52
But you jumped to season three. I said we started this and jumped straight to the end. That's all I said.
00:17:56
I just asked about an M Count since it is cloned.
00:17:59
Which is in season three. Yep. We didn't know that in season one and three.
00:18:01
She's been a clone this whole time. She's been a clone this whole time.
00:18:05
We never knew she was-
00:18:07
And you don't know she was special since the beginning.
00:18:09
Your mother.
00:18:10
I mean season one was pretty uneventful from what I remember.
00:18:12
Wasn't season one this good?
00:18:13
I like the training art. I like how good she got with the bow.
00:18:17
That was one of my favorite parts.
00:18:19
The story of the rancor story. When they think they're going to go save a baby and it is a baby but it's a baby rancor.
00:18:24
I love that. I love that episode.
00:18:26
Yeah, I don't remember a lot of the beginning stuff. It was a while back.
00:18:31
I think that, like you said, they're the Karen Travis clone equivalent in the Canning universe.
00:18:39
They're not the Skyrata clan of course, but they're a family of clones.
00:18:43
And I think that's what drew me to Bad Bash Board or anything.
00:18:46
Because you and I, we always talk about the Karen Travis clones and all that shit.
00:18:51
And how those are some of our favorite stories from the Legends timeline.
00:18:54
But to actually see a family dynamic played out in clones when you know-
00:18:58
Not even the Legends stuff. You just know their background in general from the Clone Wars.
00:19:03
But then you think about the stuff from Legends and stuff.
00:19:06
It was something that I desired. To see the close-knit-ness of the clones outside of the Clone Wars.
00:19:13
Because we got plenty of that seeing Anakin and Rex being cool, Cody and Obi-Wan being cool, right?
00:19:18
But show us some clones that are just some fucking degenerates and let's have fun.
00:19:23
That's why I like Bad Bash so much.
00:19:24
Yeah, and you can tie a lot of parallels into the nulls and whatnot.
00:19:28
Because you got the family of clones. They've deserted from the Empire.
00:19:33
They didn't participate in Order 66. They're on the run.
00:19:38
They've got one guy in the Empire who kind of knows where they are.
00:19:42
Can either pass them information or fuck them over.
00:19:46
Which both happen, right?
00:19:47
And they have a Force-sensitive-
00:19:49
This is still like season 3 a bit.
00:19:52
But they have a Force-sensitive with them that they're trying to hide but live a life.
00:19:55
Just a normal-
00:19:57
They want to be like farmers and shit. They don't want to be doing jobs forever.
00:20:00
They want to just have a peaceful life and tell the Empire to go suck a dick.
00:20:03
And they just never get like, you know, more than a few moments of peace.
00:20:08
And when they do, it all comes crashing down and somebody dies or something, you know, some big shit goes down.
00:20:13
And they can just never, never quite escape the Empire on their ass.
00:20:17
It's 100% you know, what was going on with Karen Travis clones.
00:20:21
I don't know, man. I'm pretty sure Disney was like, yo, Karen Travis, a lot of people love this shit.
00:20:26
Let's just do the same thing but different.
00:20:28
I know Disney's all about the copypasta, but at least they didn't just like straight up say like,
00:20:33
hey, these were the very first like super bread engineered, they can't follow orders.
00:20:38
And they were raised by a Mandalorian. At least they like, you know, changed it up just a little bit.
00:20:42
It's poetry.
00:20:43
Oh my f- shut up.
00:20:45
I swear to God, if somebody one more time comes to me and is like,
00:20:48
it's poetry, it rhymes!
00:20:50
About how they feel about the sequels or the prequels or whatever the fuck, I'm gonna smack a bitch.
00:20:54
That itself is also poetry.
00:20:56
I don't even argue that like anything could be poetry.
00:20:58
You could be like, oh yeah, that's a stanza.
00:21:00
And like, I'm gonna be like, okay, I don't- okay, whatever.
00:21:04
Right? Like, sure, I guess poetry rhymes.
00:21:07
Stanzas on these nuts!
00:21:08
Exactly. Fucking okay, poetry rhymes.
00:21:11
But like, dude, if I'm listening to like, you know, I mean, rappers rhyme, right?
00:21:15
If the same- if they have the same three fucking like lines throughout the entire fucking song, it sucks dick.
00:21:21
I don't know what to tell you. Just because it rhymes doesn't mean it's good.
00:21:24
Fucking Eminem can rhyme orange with like half the words in the English language.
00:21:28
That don't mean it's good. I mean, I'm not knocking on Eminem, but like,
00:21:31
rhyming orange with porridge is like, was it really- was it really the right play?
00:21:35
No. Anyway.
00:21:36
Exotic is just letting you flounder. I love it.
00:21:38
Flounder? Yeah.
00:21:41
I ain't floundering.
00:21:42
Bro, we're talking about fucking Eminem on a Star Wars podcast. Shut the fuck up.
00:21:46
Well, we can always circle back to everything coming crashing down.
00:21:51
What y'all think about the Trandoshan bitch that turned him in?
00:21:53
Oh, man, dude, we are not allowed to use the short form for Trandoshans, Nikita.
00:21:58
I'm putting that here before you say it.
00:22:01
You win this round.
00:22:05
Yeah, fuck that lady. Dude, what the fuck, man?
00:22:08
They've been helping you this whole time and you're just like, oh, quick buck. Quick buck. Yeah.
00:22:13
Dude, it's always some motherfucker like that in Star Wars. In every media, right?
00:22:17
You got like the good guys, they're helping people out, they're doing jobs,
00:22:20
even if they're like a little sketchy or whatever, dangerous jobs.
00:22:23
And then they're like, oh, I could make an extra, you know, couple imperial credits if I just turn in the guys that have been helping me for fucking 10 years.
00:22:30
Ha ha ha, heard her.
00:22:31
Oh, y'all talking about Sid. I was trying to think about what Trandoshan lady.
00:22:35
And I always forget she's Trandoshan because she looks so squat compared to a lot of other Trandoshans.
00:22:40
I was like, what Trandoshan lady? Yeah, I was like, what Trandoshan? And I was like, oh, Sid.
00:22:44
Yeah, she a hot wannabe. That's all she is.
00:22:46
Can I just say that I absolutely love the fact that Wanda Sykes voice exists in the Star Wars universe.
00:22:53
But film bros would say that it's a cameo.
00:22:56
But and they put her with the autistic homie too.
00:22:59
Like autistic homie got that black lady pull. Let's go.
00:23:03
Film bros would still complain about cameos.
00:23:05
Dude, OK, exotic. They told us that the only purpose that Hayden Christensen served in Ahsoka was literally just a cameo.
00:23:14
That was his only purpose in there. Had nothing to do with the story or anything. It was just a cameo.
00:23:18
They told us that having Hayden Christensen in the Obi Wan show was a cameo, just a cameo.
00:23:25
Did they ever watch the prequels?
00:23:27
Bro, they didn't. They OK. So Hunter had been like the target of them the entire time.
00:23:33
But they talked. They started talking about like Ahsoka and Obi Wan. And I fucking snapped at the end.
00:23:38
I was like, wait, hold on, boss. I was like, nah, nah, nah.
00:23:41
Yeah, he just he basically said Hayden Christensen only serves as like a cameo.
00:23:45
Doesn't doesn't push the plot, doesn't have anything to do with the story.
00:23:48
It's just cameo for fans as well. I bet they're also those Hayden Christensen haters.
00:23:53
No, they love him. So I'm saying they literally just have the worst takes in the industry.
00:23:57
Exactly. It's funny. Shout out film bros. Make sure you go follow them.
00:24:02
But I just want to let you know, JP, eat shit and live.
00:24:07
All right. But back to the the bad batch, let's not get too off the mark.
00:24:11
Oh, yeah. No, but like to finish that, to finish how that thought started off,
00:24:15
I love the representation of my people, both black and autistic.
00:24:18
Yeah, she was a great character. Is love Wanda's voice.
00:24:21
I grew up with Wanda's voice. So like it's comforting to me.
00:24:24
Wanda Sykes, please come onto the show sometime.
00:24:26
If you ever want to just talk to me, please. I love you. That's Auntie on God.
00:24:30
Like I've enjoyed the bad batch. Not quite as much as I enjoyed like the Clone Wars.
00:24:35
But there's only like there's only so many different ways, like different.
00:24:39
This is the same thing that these guys complain about with Mandalorian.
00:24:42
Right. They're like they say like the the season that has the most amount of like plot development is the worst one.
00:24:49
And I kind of get like the same vibes from bad batch.
00:24:51
I feel like it needs actually a little more plot development and like the earlier stuff,
00:24:55
because it's just, you know, a group of kids. They are kids.
00:24:59
They're like 12, like running around the galaxy, solving little puzzles and mysteries and whatnot.
00:25:04
Right. It's not like now there's stuff tied in like you get the crosshair, you know, excision and then reunion later and that kind of thing.
00:25:12
But they definitely could have like done this story in a shorter amount of time.
00:25:16
There's definitely a lot of filler episodes.
00:25:18
I'm gonna say the same thing I told them. I don't consider anything really filler because it's all lore in the end for me.
00:25:23
But yeah, I see what you're saying. I would have liked to I would have liked season three to be all gas, no breaks.
00:25:28
I think that was one thing that they said on film bros that like I actually agreed with.
00:25:31
It had to be all gas, no breaks. But I got I got to get what I get. So yeah.
00:25:35
So like let's let's have a crosshair.
00:25:37
I mean, what do you all feel about his like loyalty to the empire and then subsequent defection?
00:25:43
I kind of saw it coming. The defection or the loyalty?
00:25:46
The loyalty. You know, it's understandable.
00:25:48
Yeah. With the order 66 and shit. He was just programmed to do it. And then he kind of just.
00:25:52
But he wasn't because he removed the chip. He already had the chip removed.
00:25:56
He done it himself. He just stayed on because good soldiers follow orders.
00:25:59
That was his like mantra. I mean, I don't even know where to go with this.
00:26:02
Fuck. Like was it was it misguided loyalty?
00:26:05
Yeah. But like homie homie did it of his own accord that whole time.
00:26:09
I mean, the defection that kind of led up to it with him seeing all like his clone brothers just in like shit holes and getting fucking completely just tossed away like trash.
00:26:18
They kind of built up to it at that episode on the fucking ice planet.
00:26:22
For sure. That was that was fucked.
00:26:24
And then just letting that guy die and then like crosshairs just like, you know what? Fuck this shit.
00:26:29
I'm out. And then he gets experimented on for I don't know how long.
00:26:33
Damn poor dude. But he had some dope armor. Yeah, they had the the the Zillowbeast stuff in here too, right?
00:26:39
Zillowbeast was at the start of season three.
00:26:41
Yeah, that was interesting. You know, Pops cloned that too. Dude is obsessed with cloning. That's all he does.
00:26:48
I'd still fuck the Zillowbeast.
00:26:49
What form of the Zillowbeast?
00:26:51
We touched on this, but like fucking Palpatine never even thought about like having his own damn kid.
00:26:56
He's just like, let's clone everything.
00:26:58
It just helps back up the shriveled dick theory.
00:27:01
Yeah, it does. I'm trying to remember like all the stuff they did.
00:27:04
So like we got Finnick. Finnick came in. That was a cool.
00:27:07
I'm not going to. I mean, it's a little bit of a cameo, but not really.
00:27:10
Like it's just more introduction to a character that we haven't really seen that shows up later.
00:27:15
Was she in the Clone Wars at all?
00:27:17
Yes, I believe. I believe she like appeared.
00:27:22
Wait, who? Finnick?
00:27:23
Finnick.
00:27:24
I'm pretty sure she's only in the Bad Batch.
00:27:26
I'm like 75% sure she popped up in the Clone Wars.
00:27:29
I think so too.
00:27:30
Okay, we get a fact checked on that. Did Finnick Shan show up in the Clone Wars?
00:27:34
Her first thing in her entry is in Bad Batch.
00:27:39
Oh, oh.
00:27:40
When she capped Nala Se.
00:27:42
Wow.
00:27:43
Yeah, we got Finnick Shan. We get like an intro to some of the stuff that she was doing before we see her in The Mandalorian.
00:27:48
I think that's pretty cool. We like, you know, seeing the different bounty hunters, seeing Cad Bane again, just doing his fucking thing.
00:27:52
The Finnick Shan actress smash.
00:27:54
Absolutely.
00:27:55
Bro, she was in every season of Agents of Shield.
00:28:00
That's where I know her from.
00:28:01
That's where I know her from too.
00:28:03
Time to go watch.
00:28:04
Agents of Shield.
00:28:05
Agents of Shield is good, man.
00:28:06
I just want to see her.
00:28:07
You go for Coulson.
00:28:08
Nope. I said what I said.
00:28:10
Coulson and Quake.
00:28:11
Yeah, we see we see Cad Bane doing Cad Bane shit.
00:28:14
He's a big dog.
00:28:15
Because he's a big dog and he do big dog shit.
00:28:18
I'm glad I got that in before you started.
00:28:21
I knew where that was going.
00:28:22
And that weird like mantis thing they hunted down.
00:28:24
That guy was pretty cool.
00:28:25
Oh, fucking ninja mantis.
00:28:27
That's what was fucking wild.
00:28:28
What species was that guy?
00:28:31
I'm really sure it's the first we've seen, at least on film.
00:28:33
Just an insectoid bounty hunter?
00:28:35
Species.
00:28:36
Sylar Saris Species.
00:28:38
What does that even mean?
00:28:39
He's his own species.
00:28:41
And so they're just like, hmm, it would be a cool thing to throw hands with Hunter and Wrecker.
00:28:46
Oh, he's a Yamri subspecies unconfirmed.
00:28:49
The Yamri also known as Hook or an insectoid sentient species from Wildspace planet Hook.
00:28:55
They come in like different forms of insect or is it just mantis?
00:28:58
They're like mantises primarily.
00:29:00
Interesting.
00:29:01
He was dope.
00:29:02
And the weird like the fact that they had to take a boat was kind of funny because they could have just taken a speeder.
00:29:07
Would have like completely avoided the crocodile scene.
00:29:12
Yeah.
00:29:13
Why we got to take a boat?
00:29:15
I guess maybe it'd be too loud or whatever, but the boat was loud enough.
00:29:18
It's got the same like repulsor engine in the back.
00:29:21
I don't know, man.
00:29:22
I don't know, man.
00:29:23
But seeing Ventress back, that is awesome.
00:29:25
Ventress is such a cool character.
00:29:27
Cool fucking haircut now.
00:29:28
The only thing I hope it leads into is y'all probably hope it leads into this too.
00:29:32
The Quinlan Vos Ventress story.
00:29:34
I hope so.
00:29:35
Right.
00:29:36
The story is like and we got that book and whatnot, but I'm really hoping what they like kind of explain it in Tales of the Empire, especially like we said, because what's her name is going to be at Morgan Elizabeth.
00:29:46
Her you know, a bit of her story is going to be in there.
00:29:49
I'm hoping maybe she was the one that helped to bring Ventress back or whatever because Ventress did say like that she's got like multiple lives.
00:29:56
So obviously somebody help bring her back because that book is canon.
00:29:59
This Quinlan Vos is probably like top five favorite Jedi's for me.
00:30:02
He's fucking dope.
00:30:03
Ventress is one of my top Sith, so totally fuck with that.
00:30:06
Ventress in the Clone Wars micro series goes so hard.
00:30:09
The scene where they introduce her for the first time is just the coolest shit ever.
00:30:13
Whenever she fights fucking episode two Anakin.
00:30:15
Oh man, that whole fight.
00:30:17
Yes, that cliff scene.
00:30:19
She was just like, he or where she was just fucking like yoinking them clones left and right one by one that she was oiled.
00:30:24
And you get the background Anakin Scar because they never talk about it.
00:30:28
Yeah, she's fucking dope.
00:30:29
I want bad batch to answer some questions that I had about Rex and rebels.
00:30:34
Like what?
00:30:35
Like where how he got there and like where he's decided to or like what made him decide to settle and become old and fat basically.
00:30:42
Kind of glad that they're kind of poking into how Wolf gets kind of intertwined with Rex and Gregor.
00:30:49
Oh, did you watch the episode with him?
00:30:51
Yeah, I saw that episode.
00:30:52
Okay, okay, okay.
00:30:53
I didn't know if you had it.
00:30:54
I don't know if it's clean.
00:30:55
That's why I said that's why they're poking into it.
00:30:56
Yeah, because it was a you know, and it was like I like the way that they did it because it was such a like low line count dialogue because like you know they trust each other but like they're on different sides of this shit now.
00:31:07
I love that scene.
00:31:08
Oh yeah, because like in the Clone Wars you see Rex and Wolf do quite a few things together.
00:31:12
So, you know, they got they got history and Wolf is probably like one of my favorite commanders.
00:31:16
Like he even still had like those ties or you know some loyalties back to the Empire when he goes off script and rebels.
00:31:23
Right.
00:31:24
It was Wolf that called them in right?
00:31:26
I think so yeah.
00:31:27
Because it was one of the three and it wasn't Rex and it wasn't Gregor.
00:31:31
Gregor is just like a crazy old old guy at that point just like likes eating.
00:31:35
So like Wolf is clearly very very conflicted.
00:31:38
I need fucking um what's his name?
00:31:41
God I lost my train of thought.
00:31:42
I need I need more Cody stuff.
00:31:44
If we want to go into predictions.
00:31:46
Who's the assassin guy?
00:31:48
Yeah, I was about to say I'm pretty sure Cody's the assassin guy.
00:31:50
Oh, you think so?
00:31:51
Yeah.
00:31:52
It's either Cody or Tech.
00:31:53
I think it's Tech.
00:31:54
I think it's Cody.
00:31:55
I don't think they had enough time to turn Tech into an assassin.
00:31:57
I'm but it totally could be they could have just you know chipped him and sent him on his way.
00:32:02
I mean hey if it's Cody it'd be just like poetry right?
00:32:05
Oh.
00:32:07
Exotic I'm gonna come smack this shit up.
00:32:12
I can't believe you would say that after I just said.
00:32:15
I can.
00:32:16
I'd do it again too.
00:32:18
I really do think it's Cody because I mean ever since we saw Cody's interaction with Crosshair I think it was like the end of season two.
00:32:26
Yeah.
00:32:27
Then I mean it's he hasn't been he hasn't showed up ever since I think this is a good way to introduce him as just Mr. Brainwashed.
00:32:33
Maybe Crosshair is the one that like reported him for being you know a little too lenient with his orders after that one job they were on.
00:32:41
What if it's another clone of Crosshair that's better than Crosshair?
00:32:46
That sounds stupid.
00:32:48
Yeah it says like no story development at all.
00:32:50
Can't prove that.
00:32:51
It would have to be like Sparity Flash clone bullshit.
00:32:54
Yep.
00:32:55
Wait Sparity still doesn't exist in this in this world though.
00:32:58
I know it'd have to be some like.
00:33:00
Oh okay I see what you're saying.
00:33:02
Luke.
00:33:03
You just got to think about like what clones could they just be like plot bomb right in the middle and that can also a clone that can throw hands straight with fucking half the clones that were at that little base that they raided.
00:33:15
Also tech.
00:33:16
I doubt tech could throw hands with fucking Rex and.
00:33:20
A Brainwashed one could.
00:33:22
It would be crazy.
00:33:23
What if it's motherfucking Sev.
00:33:25
No no no no I'm not even gonna let you run with that one because that would I would stop watching anything related to Disney Star Wars and clones.
00:33:34
I would never watch that again.
00:33:36
If they made it if they made it Sev.
00:33:38
Okay one it could be Sev.
00:33:39
Sev.
00:33:40
Sev too big.
00:33:41
Sev's voice is completely different.
00:33:44
Okay voice doesn't matter they can rip out of the vocal cord or no.
00:33:47
But Sev's physique doesn't match that.
00:33:50
But the the physique of the commandos half of it is the fucking armor.
00:33:54
When they take off the armor they're not that big.
00:33:56
True but he was still that person is skinny like that person is skinny.
00:33:59
Crosshair is a commando they're all all of 99 are commandos they're not that big.
00:34:03
I mean just look at him and they got they got Scorch chill in there what if it's the team.
00:34:09
What if it's boss.
00:34:10
It would have to be Sev.
00:34:11
Only Sev was that good with a sniper.
00:34:13
Well I mean.
00:34:15
Boss is the player.
00:34:17
If you if you predict Sev and it's true I'll never forgive you.
00:34:20
I hope you know that.
00:34:21
I just never would that be awesome like Sev lived.
00:34:25
Fuck yeah.
00:34:26
Holy shit.
00:34:27
Now that would be a bomb.
00:34:28
That would be a fucking bomb.
00:34:30
And most people wouldn't even get it which is the sad part.
00:34:32
Yeah that's why I think it wouldn't be as big of a bomb as Cody.
00:34:35
I think technically the most obvious player.
00:34:37
Yeah but Scorch has been such like a prominent figure this this last season like and they even they don't even call him like you know clone.
00:34:45
Yeah I'll call him a number or something a number tag.
00:34:48
Scorch has the Scorch has the 1138.
00:34:52
Scorch is 1138 which is the Star Wars number if you don't know.
00:34:56
It's from one of Lucas's like first movies right.
00:34:58
And then like 1138 is a repeating number in Star Wars all the time like cell block 1138 for where Leia was held.
00:35:05
Scorch's RC number is RC 1138.
00:35:08
So like they don't even call him like RC 1138 and neither does what's his bucket hemlock.
00:35:13
He doesn't call him 1138 or whatever.
00:35:15
Golden Commander Scorch.
00:35:16
He's read as Scorch so I mean maybe they'll be like yo this Sev that was Scorch this Sev.
00:35:21
I mean then if they introduce Sev they also have to show her fixer and boss wind.
00:35:25
No they don't. Absolutely they don't.
00:35:27
They could but they don't have to.
00:35:29
I feel like it would be.
00:35:30
Sorry there was a lot of snow coat in my mouth there.
00:35:32
Why bring Scorch in for so much of the season if you're not going to like bring in any of the others.
00:35:38
Nostalgia with all the fans.
00:35:39
Yeah because I mean they already dropped them in the Clone Wars.
00:35:43
But they dropped all of them in Clone Wars.
00:35:45
I thought it was just Scorch, fixer and boss.
00:35:48
Or was it no Sev was there too nevermind.
00:35:50
Yeah it was the whole gang.
00:35:51
It would be cool.
00:35:52
I just want my commandos all right.
00:35:54
I mean you got a whole base of them.
00:35:56
Does that not satisfy your fancy?
00:35:57
Nope.
00:35:58
No because they haven't done any badass shit yet.
00:36:00
They let a little girl escape their facility with a crippled old man.
00:36:04
That's what I'm saying they haven't done any badass shit yet.
00:36:07
There were only 10 commandos and after Geonosis there were only 5.
00:36:12
They're the best of the best besides the arcs but the original arcs but like.
00:36:15
The no arcs are the best.
00:36:17
The commandos are the spec ops man.
00:36:19
Now they're just prison guards.
00:36:20
Can you imagine being a fucking commando in a suit where you can drink your own piss and you just have to stand guard outside the fucking vault all day.
00:36:27
That's one fucking way to put it.
00:36:31
I can just stand and drink my piss.
00:36:34
I mean the vault is kind of cool because I mean it's like oh what's behind the fucking door.
00:36:39
What about the fucking commandos that are in the vault just guarding the room full of fucking three little kids.
00:36:43
I can stand and drink my piss.
00:36:45
I'm not saying like what goes through their head.
00:36:49
What goes through his fucking bladder ends up in his mouth and in his stomach.
00:36:55
Because he can stand and drink his own piss.
00:36:59
Katarn class armor was some good shit.
00:37:01
Plus I mean all of the bad batch wear Katarn class so modified heavily of course but it is all Katarn class.
00:37:10
I was about to say like season 3 they kind of changed it up quite a bit.
00:37:13
Yeah they modified it and whatnot.
00:37:15
It was modified from the beginning but it's all commando spec armor.
00:37:19
You know when you think about it the Empire really fumbled the bag with the clones.
00:37:23
Because I get not having anything planned for them but fucking make them your stormtrooper fucking teachers.
00:37:29
Like all of them.
00:37:31
Keep them employed. It's free labor.
00:37:33
Because I promise you good soldiers follow orders.
00:37:37
If you have the soldiers fucking train the next wave of soldiers.
00:37:41
Like are you joking.
00:37:42
They would never question what their purpose was.
00:37:45
The war is won. Now let's train the next generation to protect what we stood for.
00:37:49
Like you could win over the clones just by doing that.
00:37:52
Like they fumbled the bag on that so hard.
00:37:54
Like you got an entire army of like the most perfect soldiers that you can have.
00:38:00
Yeah they're going to age out in a little bit but like utilize them.
00:38:03
Don't just like.
00:38:04
Dude all these fucking Imperial officers are just like such dick bags.
00:38:08
Just look at them like they're less than droids.
00:38:11
And you know what.
00:38:12
It's so stupid.
00:38:13
I'm glad you say that too.
00:38:15
Because like I mean I feel like it kind of feeds right into like the xenophobia of the Empire.
00:38:20
Because like they hate everything that's not human.
00:38:22
And though like clones are still human they're not like they're made humans.
00:38:26
They're test tube humans.
00:38:27
So they're not seen as true humans.
00:38:29
And so like it adds to just like the racism and xenophobia of the Empire.
00:38:34
But it's so stupid because Calphe is trying to make a test tube version of himself.
00:38:39
Is racism and xenophobia not stupid in general.
00:38:42
So of course the cult of racist is stupid.
00:38:45
It makes sense I guess.
00:38:47
Your top dog of your xenophobic cult who hates the test tube you know people is trying to become a test tube people.
00:38:56
Like I mean we know the Empire is a bunch of hypocrites and you know fuckwaffles but Jesus.
00:39:01
I mean they explain why they don't want to use the clones in the bad batch.
00:39:05
But it doesn't make any sense though.
00:39:07
After all that training and stuff.
00:39:08
No it doesn't.
00:39:09
After all that training they have chips.
00:39:11
You just have them loyally teach your next wave of conscripts.
00:39:16
It doesn't make any sense.
00:39:17
They're obedient.
00:39:18
You don't have to worry about them like residing in the.
00:39:22
They were obedient to a point.
00:39:24
I mean there's so many that defected and were questioning the order.
00:39:27
And all that.
00:39:28
That's what they were scared of.
00:39:29
They were scared of more clones being like hey fuck this shit.
00:39:32
Let's fucking throw over the Empire.
00:39:33
That's what they were scared of.
00:39:34
That's why they tried to get rid of them.
00:39:36
But if you if you have them do order 66 and then you know the war is over.
00:39:41
Instead of them having time like sure some of them are going to be like you're going to lose some.
00:39:45
That's OK.
00:39:46
But one if you use the clones as like a base to train your future generation of soldiers.
00:39:52
You have a lot less of them questioning motives.
00:39:55
And by that you have you you stop the feed of like the rebellion because like right now you can say bad batch uses their you know like the clones and stuff use their the fact that they don't have these chips and that they're not being forced to obey a regime just to be phased out as like
00:40:14
their reason for wanting to save their brothers.
00:40:16
But like if their brothers are happy and you know feel like they've fulfilled their purpose of fighting a war and now are training in case there are future wars so that these soldiers can defend what they fought and died for what their brothers died for.
00:40:28
You stop the rebellion from having a reason to pull people from your cause once they've been a part of it.
00:40:33
It doesn't make any sense for the empire to like just be so wasteful of these clones because not only can you use them to your advantage but you can like they become a force to stop your opposing force from gaining steam.
00:40:45
And like fuck you already had people like in the Imperial Senate you know trying to support like retirement for them just fucking build a couple facilities on some like faraway planet and like once they've aged out just let them fuck off over there and like do their own fucking thing.
00:40:59
Space retirement home.
00:41:00
Seriously like you just fueled the flames of your own demise turning more of your own force against you by treating them like shit.
00:41:08
I mean I know the Empire is a shitty place but like the stormtroopers weren't treated that bad like damn.
00:41:13
Yeah they're conscripts and they're cannon fodder but I mean use the use the clone like if you really want to get rid of the clones send them off into like big engagements where they like barely win or you know lose or whatever.
00:41:25
Like get rid of them using them for something that they were you know were trained for and want to do versus just letting them like rot in a fucking science facility or whatever.
00:41:34
Geez.
00:41:35
I mean the clones that are rotting in the science facility are going towards Palpatine's goal.
00:41:39
That's like their main thing and that's what Palpatine was more worried about.
00:41:42
But Palpatine was hands off with that shit.
00:41:45
He wasn't really like he was just like Himlock was like I got I got results and Pops was like yo do whatever you need to do.
00:41:50
And it's not like you need a lot of clones to do this like military training thing too.
00:41:55
Like what they were they were like a million with a million more on the way.
00:41:59
Like shit you maybe need like I don't know five to twenty thousand something like that.
00:42:03
From what we know I mean like former commanders like Commander Wolf is probably doing that.
00:42:08
He's probably training the new people.
00:42:10
That's why there were stormtroopers with a mix of clones in that recovery squad that they sent.
00:42:15
You know I give you that.
00:42:16
That is true.
00:42:17
But again the point is you didn't have to do it the way you did which inspired you know your ops to have a bigger hate boner for you.
00:42:24
I mean it's like the whole premise behind the empire doing the wrong thing.
00:42:28
It's like hey they blew up Kamino and they didn't expect someone to record that shit and bring it in front of the council or the Senate.
00:42:36
That's why it only lasted like 20 years.
00:42:39
I can't believe they said that the empire failed like dude they took over.
00:42:43
Well they failed their main goal which was to be an empire forever.
00:42:47
That's where they failed.
00:42:48
That was Palpatine's main goal but the empire won.
00:42:50
They took over.
00:42:51
They won the clone wars.
00:42:52
Yeah.
00:42:53
Well they won the battle.
00:42:54
They didn't win the war.
00:42:55
No they won the war.
00:42:56
They won the war and then there was another war because there's always a bigger fish.
00:42:59
Exactly that's what I mean.
00:43:00
They won.
00:43:01
They won that battle but they lost their end goal.
00:43:03
The empire won.
00:43:04
Palpatine lost buddy.
00:43:05
Palpatine was the empire.
00:43:06
What do you mean?
00:43:07
Yes.
00:43:08
No because the empire exists after Palpatine literally.
00:43:11
The empire doesn't fade away.
00:43:13
But the only goal of the empire.
00:43:15
To win the Galactic Civil War.
00:43:17
That was the goal of the empire.
00:43:18
To bring Palpatine back.
00:43:19
That's Thoran's goal.
00:43:20
No that's no that's the first order.
00:43:22
The goal of the empire was to win the Galactic Civil War and it did and it rose to power.
00:43:27
But the empire didn't go away just because Palpatine died.
00:43:30
The empire was still there.
00:43:31
It crumbled.
00:43:32
It wasn't the ruling body of the galaxy anymore but it's still standing.
00:43:36
It didn't crumple immediately when Palpatine died.
00:43:38
It crumpled when the rebellion hunted down the rest of them and they initiated Operation
00:43:44
Cinder and decided to torch a bunch of fucking planets and what not.
00:43:48
They did not go down without swinging and then they came back.
00:43:51
They were like hiding in the shadows.
00:43:53
A whole bunch of shit.
00:43:54
Yeah so Palpatine lost the empire didn't.
00:43:56
The empire is still kicking.
00:43:57
As long as it exists it's not dead.
00:43:59
Come on exotic man you gotta say something back or do you accept defeat?
00:44:02
Can I hear I accept defeat Nikita?
00:44:04
Your force facts are better than mine.
00:44:06
You don't have good force facts.
00:44:08
We've been over this multiple times.
00:44:10
Bro you do the same shit for each one of yours.
00:44:12
Name one of your force facts that hasn't been by a clone.
00:44:14
And you forget yours half the time.
00:44:16
No I don't.
00:44:17
Yes you do.
00:44:18
When?
00:44:19
When I forget mine.
00:44:20
Last week.
00:44:21
No I didn't.
00:44:22
Yes you did.
00:44:23
I don't even forget mine.
00:44:24
We didn't even record last week.
00:44:25
Hey you know we weren't recording right?
00:44:26
The last time we recorded.
00:44:27
Nah you know last week we weren't recording right?
00:44:28
I forgot my last week.
00:44:29
You know we weren't recording right?
00:44:30
You wanna know how I know we weren't recording?
00:44:31
Because I don't have a recording.
00:44:32

This has been the first part of our little Bad Batch multi parter.
00:44:59
I know we didn't go too deep into any like specific episode.
00:45:03
But we got to talk about like a lot of the characters.
00:45:07
The stuff that we've loved.
00:45:08
The stuff that relates back to the overall Star Wars universe.
00:45:12
I'm really excited to see how they draw this to it.
00:45:15
And like I said I'm a little upset that it wasn't you know just all gas no breaks.
00:45:19
But still a series that I thoroughly enjoy.
00:45:23
A lot of filler.
