...I knew it was a good idea to blast through Clone Wars before this premiered.
Really good episode. I like that we're getting this gradual encroachment by the Empire, where every episode shows them taking control, one new piece at a time. Last episode broached the concept of conscripts, and this one adds the chain codes to show how they're keeping tabs over the population. It gives it that ominous and sombre tone, even in an episode with a happy ending like this one.
I just love the overall aesthetic of this show. All the design choices have clicked with me so far.
The aesthetic really is lovely. A nice mix of Clone Wars and Imperial era, and then just some lovely lighting and atmospherics. Also as someone who flips out every time animation uses shallow depth of field, I flipped over the couch with the premiere....I knew it was a good idea to blast through Clone Wars before this premiered.

I am in total agreement. The show kind of reminds me of the opening shipyard from Fallen Order. This perfect combination of the OT/PT during the period of change. All the dirty and grim of the lived in OT but now covering up the elegance and gloss of the PT.The aesthetic really is lovely.

Tech is so matter of fact about everything, it is hilarious. He's got this great, dry delivery of everything that low key scream, "duh".Omega is absolutely adorable.
I am enjoying the group dynamic. For some reason, I am finding Tech absolutely hilarious. It was nice to catch up with Cut.
I do hope when we get around to Gregor, that they bring in more Clone Commandos. I do wonder what other clones we will run into.
I've forgotten some of Clone Wars (also haven't seen the final season - next on the list) . What did Cut do in that series? Was he linked to the Bad Batch episodes?
Cut was a one off character from season 2 that a wounded Rex met that had deserted shortly after Geonosis, Cut and his new family took care of Rex while he healed. I think this is the first time he's been mentioned since that episode since Rex chose to keep Cut a secret. We do not know how the Bad Batch met him.I've forgotten some of Clone Wars (also haven't seen the final season - next on the list) . What did Cut do in that series?

It's such good fun Star Wars geeky stuff. After the episode was over my brother mentioned just loving seeing all this transition.So... Wrecker's bump on the head is going to come back at some point with a vengeance. Which Jedi is going to push that button?
A good episode all-around, even if the squad's plotline was mostly filler. I still love how they're showing the infrastructure of the Empire expand. The Kaminoans are in for a bad time.
Darth and I have been doing TCW this month so far and Jesus going from Downfall of a Droid to this is insane. It looks so good and I'm a sucker for the amount of shallow focus they like using. This, season 7, and going back to arcs in seasons 3 on, some of my favourite animation. I love the art style so much.A few other people have mentioned this, but I'll just agree and say that this show is gorgeous. Going from season one of Clone Wars to this in a span of a couple of weeks is giving me some serious whiplash. Even dark and relatively drab scenes like the ones in the ship still had me saying "look at their faces, this is some kind of sorcery".
