Did you enjoy Episode 14? 👇
No. It is the second last episode and everything seems rushed. They can’t wrap this show up in 20 minutes.
Also, there are multiple story lines they have yet to wrap up. They really are messing up the end of this show. Big disappointment if the next ep is 20 mins.
No
I thought it was a fine episode, but it did not make me any more hyped for the finale. My big problem with the episode and the finale is the Zillo beast. We can probably figure out what will happen in the finale. The Bad Batch frees Omega, Omega tells them about the zillo beast, they free the zillo beast, and while the zillo beast destroys Mount Tantiss and the Empire is focused on trying to stop it, Omega and the Bad Batch escape. If that's the ending then it is WAY too predictable and not a good ending IMO.
I’ve been pretty scared since Omega turned herself in, but I did enjoy this episode. I was so sure the Zillow was going to be set free and wreak havoc; just the sight of it confirms that theory. But my favorite part was when Echo met Emerie; and I gotta agree that of all the members, Echo was the best one for Emerie to meet in this situation. What he said to her made me think of how he was when he was starting out; would anyone believe that he used to be so obsessed with following orders? 😄😄😄
I'm calling it, Omega is going to use the force to control/communicate with the zillo beast like she saw asaaj do with the sea monster
What would we do without you?
In the words of Yoda,
“A powerful prediction, you make!”
❤
Word
Can she, though, since she's not force-sensitive?
That was a badass moment for Echo. And you are 100% correct. Echo was the perfect Clone to convert Emery. And, call me crazy, but I don't think I've ever seen amazement, relief, fear, and gratitude all at the same time on Emery's face when Echo told her that they weren't there just for Omega, but for ALL the Clones that have been experimented on. *Chef's kiss*
Great job, as always!
Agreed! It totally makrs sense that it was Echo to win her over.
"What's going on"
"They found me"
"Who?"
"My brothers"
That scene really showed how much faith Omega had in her brothers eventually finding her as she herself tried to find an escape route to free those within. Having to see Omega devise a plan with the Zillo beast that was captured in season 2 makes the last episode even more epic, assuming the "calvary" refers to Rex and many other clone brothers. So having them arrive to help out plus the Zillo beast to wreck havoc from within... does it get any crazier than that? I can't even imagine Hemlock's reaction to all that's to come.
I like my version. 😉
"What's going on"
"They found me"
"Who?"
"My brothers"
That scene shows how much faith Omega had in her brothers finding her as she found an escape route to free those within. Seeing Omega form a plan involving the Zillo beast captured in season 2 gives the last episode exponentially higher stakes.
That escape route is a maze to hundreds of other projects. Finding her way out may be challenging if they don't follow the beast out, but I hope she'll be smart and have the children hide in the walls or stay behind her at a safe distance. We don't know what's in there. More Dryaxs? 🐻
Assuming the "calvary" refers to Rex and many other clone brothers, I still think Cid will be involved in bringing in others the Batch has helped _(including a couple of bounty hunters and an ex-Sith Assassin)._ It would set Omega back quite a lot mentally, having them arrive to help out, and finding out the Zillo beast wreaked havoc from within and killed some of them (thinking of Cid again... and a few innocents). Can it get crazier than that? It can, but we'll see.
I can imagine Hemlock's reaction to all that's to come. If Emerie tells Doctor Scalder (who will soon be in HOT water...) not to report to Hemlock until they've found the children because she left her in charge, that would be fitting to teach her a lesson, and the look on Hemlock's face moments before the beast eats him!
Lol oh man he’s not ready. I hope the Zillo beast eats him.
Oh! Yeah... I almost forgot. Boba says he talked to Cid before they arrived, trying to find Omega. She gave him the full set of (concept) white armor to give to her.
Of course, Omega is frozen in Carbonite for 50 years so she's in the movie with Rey Palpatine Skywalker. 🤣
(Yeah, I went off the deep end there!)
My only complaint is I feel like the episodes have been very short lately. Hopefully we get a long finale kinda like the first episode of season 1
I know it's not confirmed, but I'm sure we will
Seems to be getting shorter and shorter . .going to need to be a big episode next week to finish it off
They said the last episode is like 22 minutes. 😕
@@RenegadeNomad Who said that?
@@RenegadeNomad yeah, who said that???
Rampart is a survivalist and a weasel. He’ll say he was kidnapped by the Batchers, learned of their plot, and was going to deliver them to Hemlock, personally.
That’s what I think, too. He deserves to be swallowed by the Zillo Beast.
Seeing that Rampart survived the crash made me believe he'd be dead weight all the way. Hearing him tell Crosshair, "You're like me. Loyal to no one but yourself," got me feeling Rampart would end up siding with the Empire again at the cost of the squad to secure his own safety for now. Seeing that he got captured makes me believe that feeling even more. I mean, we've seen the batch continously remind him of the Empire betrayal, but I still feel he may do anything to ensure he survives.
Additionally, Dr. Karr is finally being of some use! I loved how calm she was about the situation when she knew full well that troopers weren't supposed to be in the lab. I knew she knew who that was already, and it was such a sweet thing to hear that Omega told her all about her defective brothers. Seeing that Emerie still considers what Nala Se told her early in the season was great. Seeing her team up with Echo was even better!
I assume Echo will be the one to transmit the coordinates of Tantiss to Rex or his "Contacts" because what more data was he interested in on the science vessel? He could've escaped earlier but why did he stay behind to access more data?
Exactly. I agree with you on all points. Glad to see Emerie’s finally taking the high road and helping out. She was judt like oh Echo’s in my lab? I can work with this. I bet almost anything Rampart will turn on the batch to sabe his own skin.
They're obvious keeping Princess "Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your Higness" Rampart for a reason. I thought they were humanising him a little this episode, I do like the idea that the Emperor will lose Tantiss / Project Necromancer because he f***ed Rampart when all he ever did was loyally follow Palatine's illegal orders.
I agree. Rampart was captured for a reason plot-wise. I just wish someone would hurry up and transmit the coordinates to Rex!
The Ventriss episode set up Omega learning about the Force, and learning that it can be used to communicate with animals, even ferocious violent ones. I'm betting Omega's greatest weapon is the Force Sensitive children in the vault with her. I suspect we will see the children connect with Zillo Beast (though the Jedi themselves didn't exactly manage that on Coruscant...) and/or the wild animals of jungle
I loved Rampart's performance in this episode. He was so shocked and scared by everything.
Noshir dalal is a fantastic actor
This whole season I thought the two part finale was going to air all in one night! Man.. One more week. I got a baddd feeling about this.
I'm truly sad that this show won't live on. It's so good, and that's despite the "dad" vibes. I was floored at the end when I literally found out echo still has his ears.
Why were you shocked? He’s always had ears and had them during clone wars season 7…
What a great episode. We're seeing the Clones, as a family of brothers and sisters, take down Hemlock, rescue Force Sensitive children and destroy one of Palpatine's darkest secrets in Mount Tantiss.
The finale will keep me on the edge of my seat, so many things that need to be resolved or at least hinted at, my peace of mind needs a satisfying conclusion! I will miss that show dearly, I know that much already.
Next week!!✨️
Release The Zilo Beast!!✨️
A really big mistake on Palpatine's part on the cloning of this creature.
The concluding music was positively symphonic!
Did anyone else hear a few notes of the Mission Impossible theme when Omega was in the elevator shaft?
I don't think the kids can go home. They'd be recaptured if they did. They'll have to go with the Path, but perhaps their families can join them there.
Yup...you must be an "older" fan like me... That, MI, & Star Trek were my fav shows back in the day.
I relistened after I saw your comment. Only 4 notes, but distinguisable...
I wish the episode had been longer, but it was very good. As a thought, is CX2 Croohaur, with Crosshair being a clone of himself. That would be suitably messed up.
Echo is my favorite. I hope he makes it to the next series. To me he’s the Anchor that connects this series to the clone wars.
He was badass in this episode
I agree... this was an 11 out of 10 - fabulous - put chills up my spine at moments!
I'm feeling some relief after seeing this episode. I'm optimistic about Echo survival after seeing him resolved so well. (You're the soul of the clone rebellion, please don't die!!). 100% sure about Rampart betraying the Batch to survive (please, Crosshair, kill him already!!). I know releasing the Zillo beast is the only way to assault Tantiss being so few...but girl, that it's too crazy!! (she learnt too well from her brothers... ;P ). Now I feel that all our boys could survive...why not? (please, don't die :( )
I agree; I hope they all survive and lead the clone escapees to Padu.
I love the call-back to Season two and the Zillo Beast. It’s a hallmark of animated SW and makes you feel that watching all those episodes and seasons was worth it in more ways than the initial entertainment etc. I was talking about the Zillo the other day with a friend and said “It would be so Dave Felloni if the Zillo Beast was somehow involved in the finale”. I even reckon Omega might remember what Asaajj Ventress showed her, force-connecting with creatures, and it might be the hint of confirmation regarding the question of Omega being able to use the force.
Totally agree with people’s comments about the short length of the episodes this season. Also that there is one less episode this season. Like you said, it better be a longer length episode at the end of this but either way, I’m gutted as it’s the end of a fantastic series.
I love Omega’s absolute faith in her brothers. As soon as she hears the blaster fire, she knows they’ve come for her.
Love this episode! Exciting, intriguing, and another edge of my seat story. 10 out of 10, for me. Loved the battle scene when the stormtroopers attacked the Batch. I was like: "Whoa!" when Wrecker totally blew one of the stormtroopers completely away. It was so cool.
My only complaint, if you want to call it that, was how did Scorch knew that CLone Force 99 had Rampart and they were on their way to Tantiss, even though, he assumed they were tracking the science ship and not attached.
Amazing, now I can't wait for the final episode and I hope it is a double length there is just so much to tie up
This episode was intense! So much earned tension. Hemlock is good at his job! That makes everything so much better
Thanks Meg! 🙏🏼
I’m not ready for the finale
I loved how immediately and confidently told the other kids that her brothers found her, She is instilling confidence in her "Kid Batch." I am doubling down on Omega going with Ventress in the end. I doubt those kids can ever go home, but maybe Asaj and Omega can help relocate the families?
Star Wars Meg, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
This show has far exceeded my expectations when it first came out, and just shows how lucky Disney is to have Feloni!! His work on the animated shows in particular is phenomenal and def my fav in the SW Universe. So 1 thing I can’t see where CloneX-2 is going to come into play…? He has to show up and his identity revealed, because they’ve teased it far too much to leave it unresolved. As for who it is, has to be a BB clone or the original Tech, Cody wouldn’t make much sense, but wth did he go?!? Guess we’ll find out in a week, but kudos to LF for turning this show into must watch TV!
Shout out to you for using 'jawas piecemeal' in putting the details together. Next week!!!
Great episode, I'm looking forward to this season finale.
Too short! So nice to see Emerie coming around.
Hindsight is 20/20 but imagine if instead of the job of the week format from seasons 1 and 2, we instead got tidbits of insight into Emerie’s and Hemlock’s backstory.
I was really hoping Scorch would defect and side with the his renegade clone brothers but it looks like he’s set to be a final mini boss or something like that.
Same but we never know. Clone rebellion and Rex or Echo motivating the clones to rise up might change his mind and bring him back to the light
Awesome episode, Meg🌹. I'm on a high for the next. 👌🙌🤗
Hello SW Meg:
Rampart has not loss any of his Imperial smugness and sense of superiority despite the situation he is in. He will betray the Batch the first opportunity. The Batch expect this. That is why Rampart was never given a weapon.
What Rampart doesn't know about Crosshair is that he not be as tight knit with his Batch brothers, but he will NEVER betray or abandon Omega. She refused to leave him behind. So he will not leave her under the control of the Empire. Even if he must sacrifice himself to do it.
And this is the sentiment of Huntr and Reckr. They will give their lives as long as Omega escapes from the Empire possession.
One other thing: Omega and the other 'Specimens' may have high M counts, but they don't know or understand anything about The Force. That may be what is limiting their ability to tap into it. It often takes a Life or Death moment to awaken the connection. Omega and the others will like find that connection on the Final Episode.
I'm goign to have to go back and see just what they told Rampart of their plans. Maybe he doesn't know everything that we, the audience, knows.
It was a terrific episode, building tension towards the end. I just hope the closing episode answers all our questions. Can't believe how quickly it's gone
Thanks Meg 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹🌹💖
This season is phenomenal !
I love your videos so much more than Star Wars Theory. Quality content every time with no wild assumptions that just don't make any sense.
TNKS MEG
This season… this is PEAK Star Wars.
OMG 😲 I am blown away as soon as I seen the zilo beast that gave me an idea for escaping and I hope they all escape
Maybe, Tech thinks the guys will come after Omega after taking her , have a breakthru upon seeing Crosshair & realizes who he is & helps his Brothers & Sisters..
Utidiiiiiii 😮❤🎉. Bring on the Beast!!
This totally could be the battle that takes down Mount Tantas
I know Rampart's a horrible villain, but I've enjoyed his sarcasm since they broke him out of prison.
It's all coming together nicely...awesome, sad, and exciting all at once.
I think our last episode will be an hour...may the force be with us
Thanks Meg! I Have The Plan, And Im Gonna Need Your Help!
Hemlock's competence makes the stakes so much better!
great episode!
Final season finale is gonna be really longer episode, It probably Dr hemlock show Rampart how he reactions to all Bad batch members going to dies, it possible that Rampart starts to crying, Rampart is about losing his friend Crosshair who going sacrifice himself, at the end of finale, Rampart holding Crosshair's helmet and Cody show up.
I hope Cody spin-off series teaser could happens next week after episode finale.
9:00 I really don't think they moved the project necromance from Tantiss to Exegol, directly.
I too think that the zillo beast is going to be a big part of Omega's escape plan. And even though the episode was short I thought it was an enjoyable episode with a cliffhanger leaving you wanting to know what exactly will happen next.
Spoilers the baby uses the force to control the beast as the others haven't displayed actual force abilities but the baby fur ball has. The others just have a M count high enough to qualify but maybe the pressure changes that. Much like younglings in the Jedi temple who get placed in the Jedi Service Corps M Counts don't mean much unless they can tap into the force they are just extra talented in tech and other areas. Omega is just exceptional because she can make a stable M Count in a clone which is necessary if the Emperor wants a clone with his M Count levels and they stay stable.
Couldn't agree with you more 10 out of 10! The emotions, the music, the animation top notch😊
There was literally nothing 10/10 about this episode. Like at all. Not even 7/10. Animation was the same. The music did not change this episode. It wasn’t a very emotional episode.
I feel sorry for you.
@@officermurdoch4120 What leave of slave minded consumerism is this lady on. Disney shill bowing down to anything a company makes.
Hey Meg, do you think it will be more than merely releasing the Zillo beast? Will Omega make a connection? Like with Moochi? Will her brief moments with Asajj provide enough of a learning experience to help her connect more fully with the beast? That would be cool if she reaches out to the beast with the Force.
i think it would be cool if omega teaches the other kids about the force. they are force-sensitive and don't know it.
I don't think Omega's force-sensitive.
@@Himmiefan they made it kind of ambiguous when Ventress said she wasn't and Crosshair said "You're lying". But we do know she knows of the force and Jedi, and the younglings are force-sensitive.
Would be crazy if omega escaping with the kids are the skeleton crew kids and we were all off on the timeline for it
Rampart said “sure you have”
It kept you on edge.
i agree meg. i feel the animation in this episode and all of this season is and has been great. and that it's setting a bar pretty high for every animated show they, and others, will do from now on.
This was a great episode & I can't wait until the finale next week.
Zillo beast gonna end up being the one kylo fought in the comics
Loved this episode. For a moment, I thought Rampart was caught by the batch, given the light obfuscation from their torches.
I'd really like to see the BB all make it out, honestly even Rampart. I think having the emotional main character/beloved character death trope just doesn't need to be played out here. But that's my wish, I'll be happy whatever happens.
What if ..... if they shock us with a cliff hanger and a surprise announcement of a S4!!!!
🎉🎉🎉GOD WILLING!!!
Hey, whatever happened to the character that sold them out to the Empire in the last season I forgot her name
My prediction that Hunter would use the stealth approach technique he saw Phee use previously turned out to be wrong. I thought for sure they were setting that up for this episode.
we better get a 1hr and 5 minutes runtimme, also i hope they surrvive and make it out the planet because they do, since in the trailer a few weeks ago that they talked to howzer and rex!
I like the ep , but I expected more from Rampart , he is a former vice admiral after all , he should've know the tactics used by the empire
Amazing. Wonderful. Except why bring someone who is loyal only to himself. Interesting. Frankly, I think this show is as good as the ones with real actors. That’s how good they’ve made it. It’s amazing and frankly, I wish it wouldn’t end. I don’t think it should. It’s just too much the true story of what is beautiful about Star Wars has all the most gorgeous aspects of the whole story
Great Episode, Truly felt longer than it was and it sets up the Finale perfectly!
I think echo is going to find tech in a similar condition they found him
I hope not leaking the runtime of episode 15 is a good thing and that it will go the way of the series premiere.
Amazing ep. Guna cry for the last ep😢
If this is how it’s going to go down. It’s such a lost opportunity to continue the bad batch. This could easily have more seasons and adventures. Ending here is a loss for all the younger viewers that Disney desperately needs to survive. Sad
It’s all about money man
@@BDawg-hy7pl yes they can’t make money off Disney plus shows. That’s why mando is becoming a movie. Sucks
i think the final shots next week will be exegol and the Sith eternal and the cloning pods
The Good: The highlight for me was Echo teaming up with Emerie. I'm glad that the writers are presenting Hemlock as a smart villain rather than taking the overconfident route that has been overplayed since Tarkin and the original Death Star. The Bad: THIS is the penultimate episode? This episode assures that the Batch meet their end at Mount Tantiss. Rampart just getting captured by the stormtroopers is a letdown: it would be more interesting if they actually did something with him, such as - let him survive and escape to, say, Niamos, and then get apprehended by a K2 droid, and wind up on Narkina 5 Level 2, and be the one that was the cause for the uprising when he got reassigned instead of released.. LOL The Zillo beast? Is that really their play for the finale? Ugh.. Oh well. You know that Disney likes their beasts, whether it be The Hulk, the Mythosaur or the Rancor in the Book of Boba Fett finale.. Just a let down. I hope that I'm pleasantly surprised with a spurious turn of events in the finale, but I don't have high hopes. I guess this really is just a kid's show.
Omega is ready for live action!
Regarding Rex, I'm thinking Echo was sending the CUN the cords just as Emerie came in. We'll definitely see them (and possibly others) next week (ie The 'Calvary')🖤❤️💀
I agree! I believe that's why we see those cutscenes of Echo messing with the control panels. Not only was he looking for Omega but I think he sent a quick distress call to Rex I with the Tantiss coordinates. Echo came in clutch these last two episodes!
PLEASE ATLEAST 30 MINUTE FINALE PLEASE MAN PLEAAASE
Would prefer 90 minutes myself, as there are so many things to resolve……
I heard it was gonna be like 1 or 2 hours or something
Why no call back for Ezra stealing trooper uniforms? And how Lego leaked Echo having a hand. I love Bad Batch.
star wars meg I did enjoyed it
Rampart doesn’t die. You later see him in. Rebels. Do a comparison of him on rebels
Clone Wars Season 8 -Clone Rebellion
Does it really have to be over though?
ZILLO BEASTTTTTT
I'll bet the last episode is short too and will leave a lot of questions
Maybe the Rampart thing has to do with when they seemingly infused the inhibitor chip into Crosshair's brain, so maybe order 66 would work on him again. Idk just a theory.
I think all the children would already have left the vault before echo and emerie get there
Loved the episode, but like Ep 1 and 2, they should have played 14 and 15 together on the same night. That's my only issue with the the series. Now, I'm not saying make more scenes for the hell of it. the CONTENT from Ep 1 to 14 is perfect. Just make less but longer episodes. I'm totally cool with only 6-8 episodes. Hell, edit into 3 movies... a trilogy. 20-25 minutes isn't enough. My guess is if you watch ep 14 and 15 together it will be amazing.
I feel like this episode should have taken place 2 episodes prior. There is so much to wrap up in a 24 minute finale that it’s going to have to be packed with too much. But…I think it’ll lead to other animated series.
On a side note perhaps from a positive story telling perspective. Maybe it would be cool to tell another unit level series with the clones. I could only wish lol
There are rumors that the Bad Batch team members will figure prominently in Clone Wars season 8, so I have a prediction: All of the Bad Batch members who are alive in episode 14 will survive episode 15 in order to be on the new show. 😊
Hi Meg, awesome video 10 out of 10 for me, so happy to see clones joining together at the end of the episode and I can see omega letting out the animals in there and I hope they will kill the empire and I hope the other clones turn against hemlock like emerie is, and I am glad omega got back in time for blood taking, I think Omega will meet the BB or just Echo with Emerie and I hope the children get back home to, thank you SWM
I thought it was a great episode. I wonder if Omega and the Force Kids will try to communicate with the Zillo as shown by Ventress. Omega will ride the beast to battle. I hope that Rex and the beginnings of the Rebellion forces will show up on Tantiss to help free the prisoners. I was so impressed with the brilliance of Omega as the last beat.
Are they just going to waste the revelation that Omega is force sensitive?
Is the assassin actually Tech- will there be a reuniting of all the Bad Batch?
Meg, in the last episode, do you think Bayrn might use the force, since we know Bayrn has the force.....
The starting hyperspace scene looks weird. Like it was a behind the scenes development shot or something. Color and lighting just bugged me.
