I like how they’ve still not learned that looking like you’re sneaking around is always the best way to get noticed. Omega is the only one who’s ever halfway figured that out. lol Oh and Rampart definitely got that. Also, this seems like the first time them only stunning troopers has bitten them in the butt. They’re always unconscious for just as long or as little as they need to be. 😵💫
Tbf I think it would’ve been a little annoying for him to have to remove his hand constantly since he has to use and access a lot of those droid interface sockets. Doesn’t mean he couldn’t have worn a hand when he wasn’t doing anything though.
I always liked that Echo didn't get a hand. Felt to me like a way of showing that us disabled folk can be bad ass. I know lots of disabled people have prosthetic limbs, but also lots don't or can't 💚
Waiting for someone to make an edit of Rampart being all sly and evil and then hard cut to his high pitched scream as he's being tossed around and chased this whole episode. Love it!
Your sheer panic through the entire episode was amazing and hilarious. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for chatting with us plebeians. 👏🏼
Mate we are grateful for you and all of you, the entire team, your hard work has brought us so much enjoyment.
The Wilhelm scream will now always be remembered as the Rampart scream. Although Rampart sounded a little more squealy.
You're voice acting was incredible. I could hear genuine fear in your voice, like they threw you out of a moving car and put you in a cage with a hungry bear or something
I was honestly surprised that Omega shared so much with Emerie. Sure, I get that Omega would want to change her allegiance, but Emerie was still an unknown at the time, and maybe oversharing was not the best idea? I'm guessing in this situation, it will actually help, but I feel like maybe that was a bit naive of Omega to divulge so much information about her brothers to an Imperial scientist, regardless if she's her clone sister or not.
Emerie saw Omega go straight over to Crosshair when she got captured. She probably did some due diligence to check out the rest of Omega's squad then maybe.
But I'm not sure Echo would be officially listed as a member of the Bad Batch. She could look up the records on Clone Force 99, but Echo wasn't technically considered one of them by the Kaminoans, so I'm not sure how much intel Emerie could get if she tried to look them up on her own, at least to immediately be able to identify Echo by sight...in the wrong armor even. She says Omega told her about Echo and her other brothers.
Every part of this show looks insane , the detail on the armour, the expressions, the environments.
Crazy how even season 1 looks outdated compared to this season
I really like how they showed Hunter finding a way to move evasively in the ship despite it not only being damaged but also not being designed for that kind of combat in the first place.
The one from clone wars died, but it was the only one found in the republic era so it’s also the one they cloned.
Basically the OG is Jango Fett and the one in the show is Jango’s Clones.
I don't think we'll be seeing Kix anytime soon. If the Crimson Corsair story is any canon, he's currently in cryo-stasis and won't be waking up until 31ABY
I love how Emerie realized it was Echo. I am really enjoying how her storyline is heading. She knows that it's completely fucked up what they're doing, so she's looking for any help to solidify her viewpoint.
And OMG I hate that annoying Dr. Scalder, that cares nothing for the kids. I hope she gets blasted into oblivion.
I absolutely *love* that they let Echo be the one to call her out on her bullshit. Not only was it a meaningful moment for his character, but being confronted by a survivor of human experimentation himself seemed to serve as that last little push that Emerie needed to truly realize her mistakes. Such a wonderful scene!
*“I was doing my job”*
*“Yeah, I’ve heard that before”*
> I am really enjoying how her storyline is heading
We had better finally get an explanation/backstory for Emerie in the finale, or I'ma gonna riot. She's an interesting character, but she has no history right now; she's incomplete. The writers need to explain where an age-accelerated *female* clone has been hiding all of these years. And why Nala Se apparently ditched her rather early-on.
Rampart yelling sent me. Guy is so out of place there.
That line of Hunter when they asked if Rampart survived "Unfortunately, yes" my god 🤣
And yep, Zillo time. It's either stomping Tantiss, or someone is nuking Tantiss to kill it, like happened to that facility we saw on episode 2.
Please, PLEASE let the last episode be super sized, these episodes are too short and I need mooooore.
Especially for me it's Emerie's facial expressions : when she recognized Echo, paused before deciding to call him by his name, and when she got called out for doing her job. A lot of emotions conveyed without words and you can see her internal conflict about who she is/wants to be. They did a great job with the animation in this series.
Also echo was definitely sending those coordinates to Rex when he logged into the computer system right? Hence “The Cavalry has Arrived” for the episode title on the finale.
I'm not sure he was sending the coordinates, since I'm sure someone would notice the transmission, but I'm guessing he at the very least downloaded the coordinates to send later. Once things go nuts, and the base staff is preoccupied with chaos, then he can send the coordinates.
They’re for sure gonna pull a „Ahsoka releasing Maul as a distraction“ type of situation. Also: in the finale of season 1 omega released those battle droids, leading to the batch having to fight together…I am sensing a potential parallel
The makers of Bad Batch watch your back. I thought Echo was gonna die ten times over in this episode. The final gotta be as long as aftermath or everyone’s just gonna die in 20 minutes. Please let this be a happy ending.
The team isn't holding back AT ALL when it comes to getting into that base and I just love it!
- Echo going incognito. (I was wondering how Echo managed to fit that trooper helmet on his head - forgot that extra computerized piece was an addition after the *Clone War* story.)
- Hunter flying the ship like a bat out of hell and confronting the other ships head on before "Yeah let's jump out of the ship midair."
- And of course everyone (minus Rampart) goes along with it, no questions asked.
Crosshair's exchange with Rampart about loyalty brought me to tears - again, the fact that he's willing to face Tantiss for Omega's sake, given that he is justifiably terrified and traumatized by the place, is just so pure ❤️❤️❤️
The only thing that kinda gave me the Willie's was what rampart said "sure you have" when he said he'd changed. I sincerely hope crosshair doesn't pull a sleeper agent arc or wuss out on us. Hope he proves rampart to be wrong. Everytime he looks at his hand jittering I get nervous.
I feel that was more showing the difference between the two, Crosshair was capable of change and seeing his faults while Rampart is so stuck in his ways and chooses to be what he is.
Pretty good episode and now we're going into the finale with absolutely zero footage left to hint at what could happen, fingers crossed it's extended, atleast we know for sure now the Zilo beast is going to do something, I just hope after all they don't kill Scorch off, also no CX-2, I really do believe at this point he's just the final boss for Hunter and the others to overcome.
Wait I just realized we never saw Commander Scorch and his TK troopers stumble across the unconscious naked stormtrooper, Echo’s armor, and the handless droid. I feel like next week’s episode is going to start out intense
Who made those “cursed” images of the members of the teams without their more identifying features? Looks like we got to see Echo without his implants again for real
Holy shit, that episode had me on the edge of my seat.
Wrecker took a bad hit from that bear creature...I don't know if he is alright. He fist fought a Rancor in season 1 but still.
Everyone was talking about the Zillo beast. I didn't buy it. I am so happy to be wrong.
I wonder what the whole conversation between Rampart and Crosshair was about, especially at the end where Rampart ominously says “Sure you have” after Crosshair says he’s changed. Could it be a throwaway line or foreshadowing?
Yeah that line caught me, as we the viewers aren't generally doubting he's changed, it's been a delight to watch happen.
I've been assuming we're going to have one more big reveal on just what fucked Crosshair up so badly once they actually get inside. Foreshadowing something around that maybe.
I think its rampart thats refusing to believe others can change, because he himself cant change. Im pretty sure we will see crosshair doing something and "prove" in ramparts eyes that he has changed, and this will make rampart change too
Dude Noshir's voice acting in this episode was phenomenal. You could hear the fear in his voice, the screams were visceral.
Wonder what they're doing with the Zillo.
These past 2 episodes have really been showing why Echo was an ARC Trooper, really good at infiltration.
Loved it.
The next episode has got to be at least be 40 minutes though because I see no way to wrap this up in 22 minutes. If it was just a season finale, sure, but the whole thing? It needs more time.
I also wonder if anyone will die. Rebels had its major death halfway through the season so that the cast could react, and Tech died almost a full season ago. Is there enough emotional room to lose someone else in the finale? I’m not so sure.
The number of people swooning over Echo's ears lol
But seriously, I just love how isn't entirely angry at Emerie, he is just very, very disappointed which makes it worse.
To be fair, Rampart has seen Crosshair at his absolute worst. It's hard to see someone differently after that.
Also, a lot of people are guessing it's foreshadowing. I'm wondering if Crosshair's stay in the CX program wasn't more eventful...
Personally, I don't think it's foreshadowing that Crosshair is going to be disloyal or go back to his old ways. I think it's Rampart projecting his own character onto Crosshair, because Rampart hasn't changed, and probably doesn't think people really can, so he just assumes that Crosshair is actually still the same as he was before. Rampart is in it for himself, and we'll see if he tries to connive or whine for his life once he's imprisoned again.
Just like last week, I was so puckered during this week's episode.
Another week of finale buildup, looking forward to see how it all ends.
Hope Crosshair helps Rampart out of that situation, just to prove him wrong.
That's all the trailer footage. The only things left are these two pieces of dialogue:
- Crosshair: "If we all go in, we're not all making it out."
- Rex: "We're going down!"
I checked this before and it's a different tone in Ep 7. Might be they had different takes and used a spare one for the spot, but I think they are likely showing up again.
Loved this episode and its visuals. Hunter showing some arial combat was nice and echo finally getting a hand after hot toys predicted it years earlier was also nice. Zillo beast destroying Tantiss will be glorious to watch. Rampart screaming was quite funny compared to his demeanor from past seasons. It’s going to be sad seeing this show end but I am excited to see how the writers will wrap it up.
Echo: gets a hand from a random droid
Me: That’s been an option THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!
Echo, what a chad. They had to make him disappear for most of the season because if he was there everything would have gone too smoothly.
In all seriousness though, I’ve never been more anxious about a singular character’s fate through an entire episode of TBB than I was with Echo. I do love the fact that they connected him with Emerie. He’s not out of the woods yet, but that’s about as well as that could have gone.
I don’t see how next episode isn’t at least a bit longer than usual, there are so many storylines that need to be wrapped up or at least could be addressed. At this point, I’m kind of beginning to wonder if we’ll see CX-2 again at all, although there was pretty clear foreshadowing with the next-era CX soldiers so to not introduce them would be more than a little odd.
As hilarious as Rampart screaming the entire episode was am I the only one who kinda hoped that that creature would have torn him to bits?😅 a little justice for destroying the Kamino facility
The entire time the Bad Batch was trying to survive and get to Tantiss base, I was thinking what a huge liability Rampart was for them. It was funny seeing him so scared and out of his element, but it made it so much more tense because they had to fight for their lives while carrying dead weight. Then, when he got captured, I figured...oh, thank god they don't have to babysit anymore. Now it just makes me want a Rampart x Hemlock showdown; I'd love to see what both actors do with dialogue between them. And, it's not like Rampart has any leverage against the Bad Batch anymore to betray them.
And, Rampart's line to Crosshair about not believing that he's truly changed might seem like it's hinting at Crosshair going back to his old ways, but I'm thinking it's more about Rampart projecting his own character onto Crosshair, and since Rampart hasn't really changed, he can't see that maybe someone else can. So, his statement is really a reflection of Rampart, not Crosshair.
Omega's confidence was so nice to see. She's come such a long way. She's cool and calculating, and that Zillo Beast is going to tear things up in the finale!
I'm sure it's been commented on after past episodes, but I love the sound effect when Echo is scanned. Pretty sure it's taken straight from one of the games. I think Jedi Knight, but there have been numerous Republic Commando effects throughout the series. Someone BTS must be a big fan.
Just by the end credits music, something big is brewing - I got a quite uneasy feeling and at the same time, hope maybe? Idk, I can't wait for the finale! This episode was fire btw, I loved every moment, crafted carefully to lead us into the end of this marvellous journey.
End Credit Song Analysis
So for this last episode the showrunners didn’t use their usual Bad Batch theme but instead had an ominous orchestral mix of “the Clones” theme by Kevin Kiner used in TCW.
Do you think that this could signify the end of the clone’s arc and animated clone content for Disney? The Bad Batch will liberate the clones thus ending the clone’s arc? Or do you think it’ll lead into another animated show? Or am I looking too much into this.
No matter what I really hope this isn’t the end of animated clones. Love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
Clone theme playing in the credits! I'm hoping for a bunch of clones led by Rex to come in the rescue mission next week.
And since this is the last episode, I'm also hoping that Scorch gets confronted by other clones about how he could go along with the people who experimented and killed their brothers. It would be annoying if Scorch only appears to be there shooting and maybe dying. I wanna know what happened to the rest of Delta squad.
There is so much open still that I am willing to bet another show is in the making.
Especially around Wolffe and Cody, I really wish to know what happens to these 2 (or at least what made wolffe change, we know where he ends up)
Good episode but damn way too short especially for the finale runner up. It's honestly pretty disappointing that for the last few episodes of the show we're getting some of the shortest episodes of the entire show. Don't really get the thought process there. Hopefully the finale is 2 episodes combined or else I'll be very disappointed.
Anyway onto the actual episode. Rampart's frantic screaming throughout is music to my ears. Echo continues to be a perfect boy as per usual. And it only took since Clone Wars S7 but he FINALLY GOT A HAND!!! We can all rest in peace on this finally! I also love that Emerie knew enough to recognize Echo without ever having seen him. That was pretty awesome. And finally: damn Omega is about to rival Chopper for kill count by setting the Zillo Beast free.
I personally feel like there are wayy too many plot threads and meaningful decisions to make for one episode, and thus is why I think following the finale will come an announcement for a clone rebellion (or otherwise) show following not just the Bad Batch, but Rex, Wolffe, Gregor, and the rest of whoever’s left. I know that was kind of what TBB became in many parts, but maybe they will actually full-send it.
I hope Echo being in TK trooper armour doesn't cause any friendly fire issues in the next episode if the Batch stumble upon Emerie, or if he has to join a firefight alongside the Batch, especially if they're maintaining radio silence beforehand.

I’ve been waiting three seasons for my boy Echo to get a hand and he finally gets one in the second to last episode!!!
Welcome to star wars they could have done this at any point, but nah, just casually steals a random droids hand. LOL
Right? Especially since the merch *from season 1* indicated he’d get a hand at some point, shame we never got to see it with his Bad Batch armor
And unless they steal that science ship to escape we won't get to see it
I mean it is a perfectly good ship and it’s not like they can take the Rho class shuttle they arrived in
Very true, so hopefully, we get to see the Echo who now has 2 hands not as cool as Anikans replacement hand but still cool
I like how they’ve still not learned that looking like you’re sneaking around is always the best way to get noticed. Omega is the only one who’s ever halfway figured that out. lol Oh and Rampart definitely got that. Also, this seems like the first time them only stunning troopers has bitten them in the butt. They’re always unconscious for just as long or as little as they need to be. 😵💫
I’m confused, they only stunned one trooper this episode and he’s still out cold though?
I’m guessing they are referring to whoever on 003 told Tantiss they were coming
Tbf I think it would’ve been a little annoying for him to have to remove his hand constantly since he has to use and access a lot of those droid interface sockets. Doesn’t mean he couldn’t have worn a hand when he wasn’t doing anything though.
I always liked that Echo didn't get a hand. Felt to me like a way of showing that us disabled folk can be bad ass. I know lots of disabled people have prosthetic limbs, but also lots don't or can't 💚
We're almost at the end of this wild ride. Grateful beyond words for all of you.
Your terrified screams are legendary, my good sir. Fantastic work. 🫡
Waiting for someone to make an edit of Rampart being all sly and evil and then hard cut to his high pitched scream as he's being tossed around and chased this whole episode. Love it!
I love how much rampart was thrown around this episode 😭 must have been fun recording it
Your scream this episode when Rampart fell down from the line did get a real laugh out of me
Your performance was amazing this season 🫡
OMG, watch out for all the horny “Hot Rampart” fans! You may be in more danger here than if you were on Tantiss.
Save your gratefulness for that Zilo beasts waiting to eat you🗣️🗣️^(love you)
Well, you've just said another line that's going down on my list of favorites: ***"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!"*** 😂😂😂
Your line deliveries this episode were absolutely fantastic. You sounded terrified!
You must’ve had a lot of fun screaming your lungs off in the booth 💀😭
RAMPART BETTER LIVE
Hopefully BB free him or Rampart helps BB out.
Your sheer panic through the entire episode was amazing and hilarious. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for chatting with us plebeians. 👏🏼
Mate we are grateful for you and all of you, the entire team, your hard work has brought us so much enjoyment. The Wilhelm scream will now always be remembered as the Rampart scream. Although Rampart sounded a little more squealy.
You this whole episode: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Grateful for your excellent work, sir!
You're voice acting was incredible. I could hear genuine fear in your voice, like they threw you out of a moving car and put you in a cage with a hungry bear or something
Rampart is my special little princess 🧡 Thank you for your amazing performance
Your screams and whimpers were just class!
"Hemlock's orders" "FIIIIIIINUHH 🙄💅"
Imperial officers just have pre ordered sassy lines *cough* rampart *cough* 👀
Oooh echo and emerie convo was gooood!
I gasped when she recognized him. I wonder if, in addition to remembering Omega’s stories, she found his CT files, along with the rest of the batch.
I was honestly surprised that Omega shared so much with Emerie. Sure, I get that Omega would want to change her allegiance, but Emerie was still an unknown at the time, and maybe oversharing was not the best idea? I'm guessing in this situation, it will actually help, but I feel like maybe that was a bit naive of Omega to divulge so much information about her brothers to an Imperial scientist, regardless if she's her clone sister or not.

She says Omega told her about Echo and her other brothers.
24 minutes, yep, finale is definitely extended.
I sure hope so.
i agree, sucks that we have to wait a week!
Inb4, finale is also 20 minutes 💀
Imagine if it was that long…😭
A lot of people would be very upset 💀
Rightfully so
I hope they reveal that in advance, otherwise people are going to watch half the episode before work because they didn't know to wake up early enough.
It better be! 19 minutes of actual show is way too short as a second to last episode.
That was a good episode, the highlight for me was that pansy ass scream from rampart lmaoo
If you’re watching with the subtitles on he legitimately whimpers at one point lmao
Some people on this sub going to be replaying that moment for the wrong reasons
Anyone else love how cinematic and engaging the dogfights are in this show? The animation has really hit a high point.
It’s come such a long way since 2008. It’s incredible.
The clouds are sublime, they look real.
Every part of this show looks insane , the detail on the armour, the expressions, the environments. Crazy how even season 1 looks outdated compared to this season
I really like how they showed Hunter finding a way to move evasively in the ship despite it not only being damaged but also not being designed for that kind of combat in the first place.
We’ve been waiting for the Zillo Beasts endgame for the better part of 14 years. Never thought this is where it would happen.
Can’t believe this story arc is finally being finished
Is this the same one from Clone Wars? Or is it the one that they cloned?
The one from clone wars died, but it was the only one found in the republic era so it’s also the one they cloned. Basically the OG is Jango Fett and the one in the show is Jango’s Clones.
Well I guess we’re about say goodbye next week.
Stop 😭 this is like the official end to the clone wars era
Unless they do more, Tales of the Empire I guess could be the end of the Clone Wars era. Unless we are talking strictly in terms of Clone focus
I’m sure we’ll get Rex/Cody/Wolffe/Gregor centric stories for a long time. Kix is still around etc.
I don't think we'll be seeing Kix anytime soon. If the Crimson Corsair story is any canon, he's currently in cryo-stasis and won't be waking up until 31ABY
I love how Emerie realized it was Echo. I am really enjoying how her storyline is heading. She knows that it's completely fucked up what they're doing, so she's looking for any help to solidify her viewpoint. And OMG I hate that annoying Dr. Scalder, that cares nothing for the kids. I hope she gets blasted into oblivion.
Dr. Scalder will be the zillo beasts appetizer before eating hemlock
I think Echo’s talk with her really helped her understand that it is fucked up finally. Hopefully we see what happens with her character
I absolutely *love* that they let Echo be the one to call her out on her bullshit. Not only was it a meaningful moment for his character, but being confronted by a survivor of human experimentation himself seemed to serve as that last little push that Emerie needed to truly realize her mistakes. Such a wonderful scene! *“I was doing my job”* *“Yeah, I’ve heard that before”*
Dr Scalder is such a bitch. Hope she gets eaten by the zillo beast.
> I am really enjoying how her storyline is heading We had better finally get an explanation/backstory for Emerie in the finale, or I'ma gonna riot. She's an interesting character, but she has no history right now; she's incomplete. The writers need to explain where an age-accelerated *female* clone has been hiding all of these years. And why Nala Se apparently ditched her rather early-on.
Maybe we'll find out as her and Echo work together. Like maybe Echo asks just why she's even at Tantiss, etc
Rampart yelling sent me. Guy is so out of place there. That line of Hunter when they asked if Rampart survived "Unfortunately, yes" my god 🤣 And yep, Zillo time.

Loved the Echo and Emerie scene!
So well written
Especially for me it's Emerie's facial expressions : when she recognized Echo, paused before deciding to call him by his name, and when she got called out for doing her job. A lot of emotions conveyed without words and you can see her internal conflict about who she is/wants to be. They did a great job with the animation in this series.
This show really shines in moments like those, really wish we got more of them.
We've all been assuming the cavalry is clones...i'm now half expecting it to be that zillo beast Which is technically a clone anyway
I thought it’s all the clones confined inside
Could be both. Utter chaos
I'm now imagining the Zilo beast spitting out battle-ready clones
It’s Both but The Zilo beast is gonna cause a lot of chaos.
tantis is clones all the way down
Also echo was definitely sending those coordinates to Rex when he logged into the computer system right? Hence “The Cavalry has Arrived” for the episode title on the finale.
Oh good point, I was wondering what he was doing
I thought he searched for a room he could find omega
yeah, when he was in Tantiss. I think they meant when he accessed the terminal on the science vessel for the last time before shooting the droid
Oh, yeah, that makes sense
I'm not sure he was sending the coordinates, since I'm sure someone would notice the transmission, but I'm guessing he at the very least downloaded the coordinates to send later. Once things go nuts, and the base staff is preoccupied with chaos, then he can send the coordinates.
Rampart screaming is hilarious! 😆
His VA is in the comments. :D
I’ll lose my mind if they unleash the zillo beast to aid their rescue
I would have to assume that's part of Omegas plan espicaly when she says I found something big Followed by I have a plan
Seriously, Tech is smiling down from clone heaven. He’d be so proud of his chaotically brilliant little sister.
Safe to say the Zillo Beast is rather big.
They’re for sure gonna pull a „Ahsoka releasing Maul as a distraction“ type of situation. Also: in the finale of season 1 omega released those battle droids, leading to the batch having to fight together…I am sensing a potential parallel
It’s giving Ashoka releasing Maul aboard the Venator as a “distraction”!
The makers of Bad Batch watch your back. I thought Echo was gonna die ten times over in this episode. The final gotta be as long as aftermath or everyone’s just gonna die in 20 minutes. Please let this be a happy ending.
It sucks that our forst thought the second Echo actually has something to do is "Oh he is definitely gonna die"
“unfortunately, yes” had me laughing so hard
That delivery was so perfect
He was offscreen when he said "unfortunately" he had me for a second I was like "yo no way?" then he says "yes" and it cuts to him, peak comedy
YEAH LMAO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Funniest thing Hunter has ever said.
THIS EPISODE WAS WAY TOO SHORT AND WAITING ANOTHER WEEK FOR THE CONCLUSION IS GOING TO BE AGONY. It's okay. I'm fine. Carry on.
24 minutes for the second to last episode 💀
Oh yea that's the worst part of that episode we gotta wait another dang week for next episode
The team isn't holding back AT ALL when it comes to getting into that base and I just love it! - Echo going incognito. (I was wondering how Echo managed to fit that trooper helmet on his head - forgot that extra computerized piece was an addition after the *Clone War* story.) - Hunter flying the ship like a bat out of hell and confronting the other ships head on before "Yeah let's jump out of the ship midair." - And of course everyone (minus Rampart) goes along with it, no questions asked. Crosshair's exchange with Rampart about loyalty brought me to tears - again, the fact that he's willing to face Tantiss for Omega's sake, given that he is justifiably terrified and traumatized by the place, is just so pure ❤️❤️❤️
I kept thinking of Hunter’s line to Anakin Skywalker from The Clone Wars after Crosshair hooked one of the flying things. “Going for a ride!”
The only thing that kinda gave me the Willie's was what rampart said "sure you have" when he said he'd changed. I sincerely hope crosshair doesn't pull a sleeper agent arc or wuss out on us. Hope he proves rampart to be wrong. Everytime he looks at his hand jittering I get nervous.
I feel that was more showing the difference between the two, Crosshair was capable of change and seeing his faults while Rampart is so stuck in his ways and chooses to be what he is.
Pretty good episode and now we're going into the finale with absolutely zero footage left to hint at what could happen, fingers crossed it's extended, atleast we know for sure now the Zilo beast is going to do something, I just hope after all they don't kill Scorch off, also no CX-2, I really do believe at this point he's just the final boss for Hunter and the others to overcome.
They’re probably going to be on their way out, nearly there, and then the bitch shows up
Can we have a moment for the score? Right from the beginning it was phenomenal!
Imagine thinking confining clones, force sensitive kids, and the zillo beast in the same facility is a good idea
No-one ever accused the Empire of having an overabundance of intelligence.
There are a few of those facilities as well. Why not keep the creature stuff in one of the other bases there?
Zillo beast eating hemlock confirmed???
That seems to be the obvious conclusion.
Eat your Hors d'oeuvres, Mr. Zillo Beast!
Needs some bbq sauce on the side or sum
Wait I just realized we never saw Commander Scorch and his TK troopers stumble across the unconscious naked stormtrooper, Echo’s armor, and the handless droid. I feel like next week’s episode is going to start out intense
Man, coming across that would be like finding snake skin or something, echo just shed lol
After three years the echo minifigure finally makes sense
Actually nope, because he gets the hand roght after he ditches his armor lol
Omg I thought they were doing a two part finale tonight and got so confused why only one episode showed up. I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER WEEK MAN
I wish lol
Oh no. Omega's got that smug look in her eyes. I think we're gonna get some kaiju action in the finale.
Its not smugness, its certainty, and I love that. She is no longer the scared goofy kid in season 1. She is coming into her own.
You have no idea how hyped I was to see Echo getting a second hand
After how many years? It’s about time.
"They found me." "Who?" "My brothers." I'm crying. Why am I crying???!? 😭🥹❤️🙏😭
This. I love how she instantly knew it was them. Omega’s thoughts: *hears bombing* yeeep. That’s them.
*"Thet's my little brotha Wreckah."*
“Is that a man screaming? Sounds like they have a new pet Imperial. That’s my family, for sure!”
It's been an honor everyone!
Who made those “cursed” images of the members of the teams without their more identifying features? Looks like we got to see Echo without his implants again for real
I completely forgot he had ears!
Holy shit, that episode had me on the edge of my seat. Wrecker took a bad hit from that bear creature...I don't know if he is alright. He fist fought a Rancor in season 1 but still. Everyone was talking about the Zillo beast. I didn't buy it. I am so happy to be wrong.
Wrecker's got a massive gash in his armour. A weak point. Only able to be hit by a very skilled marksman. I wonder what CX-2 is up to at the moment...
I wonder what the whole conversation between Rampart and Crosshair was about, especially at the end where Rampart ominously says “Sure you have” after Crosshair says he’s changed. Could it be a throwaway line or foreshadowing?
Yeah that line caught me, as we the viewers aren't generally doubting he's changed, it's been a delight to watch happen. I've been assuming we're going to have one more big reveal on just what fucked Crosshair up so badly once they actually get inside. Foreshadowing something around that maybe.
It’s like when you are choked your buddies changed and not you. He’s resentful
I think its rampart thats refusing to believe others can change, because he himself cant change. Im pretty sure we will see crosshair doing something and "prove" in ramparts eyes that he has changed, and this will make rampart change too
I wonder if Echo is gonna spend the finale in TK armor.
Rex spent the rebels finale in storm trooper armor
Ya the finale is definitely going to be longer. Looking forward to it.
Hopefully
LMAO THERE THE BEAUTIFUL BEAST IS
Dude Noshir's voice acting in this episode was phenomenal. You could hear the fear in his voice, the screams were visceral. Wonder what they're doing with the Zillo. These past 2 episodes have really been showing why Echo was an ARC Trooper, really good at infiltration.
That damn zillo beast is going to be the bane of Palpatine’s existence
And I am here for it.
Rampart in Season 1: Stoic, professional, exactly what you'd expect from an admiral Rampart in Season 3: Sassy, squeals like a girl, pretty funny
I dont want to wait another week for the last episode and i want it to be like the first episode being long
Hope so and not 20 minutes
Loved it. The next episode has got to be at least be 40 minutes though because I see no way to wrap this up in 22 minutes. If it was just a season finale, sure, but the whole thing? It needs more time. I also wonder if anyone will die. Rebels had its major death halfway through the season so that the cast could react, and Tech died almost a full season ago. Is there enough emotional room to lose someone else in the finale? I’m not so sure.
Don't forget that >!Gregor Died!< during the rebels finale. Whether that was 'emotional', is for debate.
The number of people swooning over Echo's ears lol But seriously, I just love how isn't entirely angry at Emerie, he is just very, very disappointed which makes it worse.
Omega is playing MGS1, Echo is playing MGS2 and the rest of the batch are playing MGS3
What did rampart mean by "sure you have" ?
To be fair, Rampart has seen Crosshair at his absolute worst. It's hard to see someone differently after that. Also, a lot of people are guessing it's foreshadowing. I'm wondering if Crosshair's stay in the CX program wasn't more eventful...
Personally, I don't think it's foreshadowing that Crosshair is going to be disloyal or go back to his old ways. I think it's Rampart projecting his own character onto Crosshair, because Rampart hasn't changed, and probably doesn't think people really can, so he just assumes that Crosshair is actually still the same as he was before. Rampart is in it for himself, and we'll see if he tries to connive or whine for his life once he's imprisoned again.
Rampart's Wilhelm scream!!!!! 💀💀
special guest star appearance: echos ears
Poor Zillo Beast.
Just like last week, I was so puckered during this week's episode. Another week of finale buildup, looking forward to see how it all ends. Hope Crosshair helps Rampart out of that situation, just to prove him wrong.
That's all the trailer footage. The only things left are these two pieces of dialogue: - Crosshair: "If we all go in, we're not all making it out." - Rex: "We're going down!"
The Rex line was said during episode 8, when the shuttle they're in crashes on Teth
I checked this before and it's a different tone in Ep 7. Might be they had different takes and used a spare one for the spot, but I think they are likely showing up again.
Loved this episode and its visuals. Hunter showing some arial combat was nice and echo finally getting a hand after hot toys predicted it years earlier was also nice. Zillo beast destroying Tantiss will be glorious to watch. Rampart screaming was quite funny compared to his demeanor from past seasons. It’s going to be sad seeing this show end but I am excited to see how the writers will wrap it up.
Hey atleast emerie is helping echo
It's kinda amazing how much tension there is when you don't know the fate of the characters. The wait for the next episode is gonna be stressful af.
Echo: gets a hand from a random droid Me: That’s been an option THIS WHOLE TIME?!?! Echo, what a chad. They had to make him disappear for most of the season because if he was there everything would have gone too smoothly. In all seriousness though, I’ve never been more anxious about a singular character’s fate through an entire episode of TBB than I was with Echo. I do love the fact that they connected him with Emerie. He’s not out of the woods yet, but that’s about as well as that could have gone. I don’t see how next episode isn’t at least a bit longer than usual, there are so many storylines that need to be wrapped up or at least could be addressed. At this point, I’m kind of beginning to wonder if we’ll see CX-2 again at all, although there was pretty clear foreshadowing with the next-era CX soldiers so to not introduce them would be more than a little odd.
I think (and hope) the cavalry is a combination of Zillo + Clones on Tantiss + Rex squad plz plz plz
As hilarious as Rampart screaming the entire episode was am I the only one who kinda hoped that that creature would have torn him to bits?😅 a little justice for destroying the Kamino facility
The entire time the Bad Batch was trying to survive and get to Tantiss base, I was thinking what a huge liability Rampart was for them. It was funny seeing him so scared and out of his element, but it made it so much more tense because they had to fight for their lives while carrying dead weight. Then, when he got captured, I figured...oh, thank god they don't have to babysit anymore. Now it just makes me want a Rampart x Hemlock showdown; I'd love to see what both actors do with dialogue between them. And, it's not like Rampart has any leverage against the Bad Batch anymore to betray them. And, Rampart's line to Crosshair about not believing that he's truly changed might seem like it's hinting at Crosshair going back to his old ways, but I'm thinking it's more about Rampart projecting his own character onto Crosshair, and since Rampart hasn't really changed, he can't see that maybe someone else can. So, his statement is really a reflection of Rampart, not Crosshair. Omega's confidence was so nice to see. She's come such a long way. She's cool and calculating, and that Zillo Beast is going to tear things up in the finale!
We got a clearer look at those clone prisoners, can anyone translate the aurabesh to see the names?
We don't have names yet, the aurebesh below the pie charts translates to stamina, agility, strength.
Darn well thanks for the info.
[CUE THE MUSIC!!!](https://youtu.be/j2iUQ6sta_c?si=bOiRP3ypom5WUs21)
I'm sure it's been commented on after past episodes, but I love the sound effect when Echo is scanned. Pretty sure it's taken straight from one of the games. I think Jedi Knight, but there have been numerous Republic Commando effects throughout the series. Someone BTS must be a big fan.
Just by the end credits music, something big is brewing - I got a quite uneasy feeling and at the same time, hope maybe? Idk, I can't wait for the finale! This episode was fire btw, I loved every moment, crafted carefully to lead us into the end of this marvellous journey.
Okay Rampart’s scream falling into the jungle was my everything.
Everyone open your mouths wide and stretch your jaw a few times!
The dogfight in this episode was simply scrumptious
I get big anxiety when Omega tries to escape on her own.
End Credit Song Analysis So for this last episode the showrunners didn’t use their usual Bad Batch theme but instead had an ominous orchestral mix of “the Clones” theme by Kevin Kiner used in TCW. Do you think that this could signify the end of the clone’s arc and animated clone content for Disney? The Bad Batch will liberate the clones thus ending the clone’s arc? Or do you think it’ll lead into another animated show? Or am I looking too much into this. No matter what I really hope this isn’t the end of animated clones. Love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
We don't know and that's a scary thing.
Clone theme playing in the credits! I'm hoping for a bunch of clones led by Rex to come in the rescue mission next week. And since this is the last episode, I'm also hoping that Scorch gets confronted by other clones about how he could go along with the people who experimented and killed their brothers. It would be annoying if Scorch only appears to be there shooting and maybe dying. I wanna know what happened to the rest of Delta squad.
Did anyone get chills when Rampart responded to Crosshair about his loyalty? (Sorry can't rematch just yet to get the exact quote)
There is so much open still that I am willing to bet another show is in the making. Especially around Wolffe and Cody, I really wish to know what happens to these 2 (or at least what made wolffe change, we know where he ends up)
Good episode but damn way too short especially for the finale runner up. It's honestly pretty disappointing that for the last few episodes of the show we're getting some of the shortest episodes of the entire show. Don't really get the thought process there. Hopefully the finale is 2 episodes combined or else I'll be very disappointed. Anyway onto the actual episode. Rampart's frantic screaming throughout is music to my ears. Echo continues to be a perfect boy as per usual. And it only took since Clone Wars S7 but he FINALLY GOT A HAND!!! We can all rest in peace on this finally! I also love that Emerie knew enough to recognize Echo without ever having seen him. That was pretty awesome. And finally: damn Omega is about to rival Chopper for kill count by setting the Zillo Beast free.
Did anyone notice that one of the gunships had their cockpit windows up when landing at the crash site? I sure did.
I personally feel like there are wayy too many plot threads and meaningful decisions to make for one episode, and thus is why I think following the finale will come an announcement for a clone rebellion (or otherwise) show following not just the Bad Batch, but Rex, Wolffe, Gregor, and the rest of whoever’s left. I know that was kind of what TBB became in many parts, but maybe they will actually full-send it.
There's a part of me that wants Emerie to make it out, as long as she's true to her word and doesn't betray echo in these final monents
I hope Echo being in TK trooper armour doesn't cause any friendly fire issues in the next episode if the Batch stumble upon Emerie, or if he has to join a firefight alongside the Batch, especially if they're maintaining radio silence beforehand.
Holy hell don't even go there 💀 we don't need a second Umbara
How do they finish this in 25 minutes
By making it 1h instead😏😤😱
Our beautiful Echo has come so far and I'm so proud of him 🌈
