/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */

Welcome back to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Episode 3 of The Bad Batch Season 2. This entry puts Crosshair in the Crosshair and we watch him carrying out imperial missions for the Empire. Crosshair has always been a fascinating character to me and he's basically the evil twin...well clone to the rest of the Bad Batch. In season 1 there was a lot of back and forth over the chips in the troopers heads that activated Order 66. It was thought for a while that Crosshair was simply...following orders...because his had activated whereas the rest had malfunctioned in these highly altered clones. Wrecker even went in full attack mode at one point and it was only upon this being removed that he finally came back to the light.

It was suspect Crosshair still had his chip in his head but he revealed in the two part finale that he'd had it removed a while back.

Obviously the idea of the Empire would be attractive to some and though we tend to side with the jedi and rebels, some people obviously saw the allure of it. They promised peace and prosperity in a Galaxy overrun with gangster and the black market and the Resistance didn't really fix things that much either when they got in charge.

Now this video is sponsored by the Empire where I'm allowing you guys to sign up today.

Nah kinda sound like that but I like that the series is basically your mate from Uni who's basically like 'well I can see things from both sides. Now the episode is titled The Solitary Clone which you initially think might be a reference to Crosshair. This is definitely possible too and the episode even ends with him walking towards the camera in the opposite direction to the clones showing how their mentalities are moving in opposite directions.

However I see this more as being a nod to the one he teams up with aka ya boy Commander Cody.

Cody was known as CC-2224 and he's quite a big character in the Star Wars lore.

Anthony Gordon 2 aylar önce

@goddard Josh Yeah I think your right. Bad Batch is all about the clones in general. Not really about the Bad Batch group. But now that you think about it. The Term Bad Batch pretty much means all the clones that are dropping from the empire. Not necessarily the group of 6 clones.

@darrell glover You could be right about that too, Rampart seems like the type to try and cover up any loose ends (poor Wilco) to uphold his status. I guess we'll see where this mention of Cody goes in the episodes to come.

darrell glover 2 aylar önce

@Matthew I think it's purposely left ambiguous. We know Cody technically disobeyed. We know Rampart do when any clonetrooper disobey an order. And I wouldn't believe Rampart to be someone who willing to tell the truth when the previous episode he was willing to LIE on the report about the Bad Batch still being alive. With everything that was revealed, it is just as fair to say he lied to Crosshair about Cody. If Cody were to go AWOL, Cody would've been easily caught because he's a clone in Couresaunt. Where would he go? I do not believe he really went AWOL.

MichaelCasanovaMusic 2 aylar önce

I knew my boy Cody would come to his senses. Seems he's really torn up about turning on Obi Wan without directly saying it. "You know what makes us different than battle droids? We make our own decisions, our own choices. And.... we've gotta live with them, too."

Cody seems to have absorbed Obi Wans idealism and honor, in the same way Rex learned to break rules and act on instinct from Anakin. The more he sees the more he realizes the nightmare they are all in. The mission that never ends.

For me, this episode reminded me of one of the reasons why the Empire fell; fear. Fear can only get you so far. Yeah, your people will fall in line for a bit but the moment your back is turned, they will attempt to end your reign when they have the chance. Afterall, just because you’re feared doesn’t mean you’re respected

The OUTLAW KING 2 aylar önce

True, also just because someone's afraid, doesn't mean they won't fight back. Which means fear never works in the long run.

Interesting to see the battle droids in action. Shows how effective they were without Jedi around, and this squad seems really effective and disciplined.

The OUTLAW KING 2 aylar önce

@PereMarquette1223 Again, bad writing, since they sre many episodes where skilled clones such Rex, 5s, Jesse etc. are overunned and need backup. Are droids as skilled as Clones, no but the fact that they're machines and don't feel pain, fear, sympathy or tiredness makes an undeniable threat. And then with all their assests, they're way cheaper than clones to make and purchase, they are a clear asset and the reason the separatists relied on them so much.

PereMarquette1223 2 aylar önce

@The OUTLAW KING bad writing? Ummm no, I strongly disagree. Look at how clones could single handedly take out an entire battalion of droids. Gregor for example was a one man wrecking machine despite the fact D-Squad was totally outnumbered. As skilled soldiers the clones were well worth what they lacked for in numbers. Plus let’s face it, Jedi Vs a standard battle droid isn’t even a contest. If the CIS was strictly made up of more advanced models such as IG series droids and commando droids the war would’ve been a lot more of a stalemate. The last thing Palpatine wanted however was for anybody to win his war, especially the CIS.

The OUTLAW KING 2 aylar önce

@PereMarquette1223 Nope, that was just bad writing, look how effective they are in this episode, the episode without any Jedis. Face it, those episodes where they were portrayed as incompetent were done just to make the jedis look good.

Harold Cruz 2 aylar önce

The battle droids here are too few compared in the clone wars where the clones with their Jedi Generals are severely outnumbered and out gunned.

PereMarquette1223 2 aylar önce

@Reicrow I don’t believe that. A clone trooper is superior to a droid in almost every way. Notice once they took out the tactical droid they were useless? If a clone commander goes down the next rank assumes control of the squad and keeps on going. Assuming you can apply this logic to the entire CIS droid army all you have to do at every battle is knock out the droid commander, then you can overwhelm the droids.

Gary from Brooklyn 2 aylar önce

Such a gritty episode. I don’t think it’s only the cost that the Empire’s phasing them out. I’m sure it’s said befits but you’re having soldiers, based off a legendary bounty hunter that’s survived nothing but war. If a group like that cannot be controlled, they’ll decimate the TKs. However many they have left, clearly they will be a threat. You can see how effective they still are. With Cody AWOL, I wonder if he will find Rex. Ultimately I wonder what will happen to the other clones. We saw one in Obi Wan on the streets, such a sad arc

Ultra Brian 2 aylar önce

@Gary from Brooklyn not all of em are gone tho, they’re imperial clone loyalists that stayed as 501st & stormtrooper corps.

Gary from Brooklyn 2 aylar önce

**correction - I’m sure it’s been said before .. And yeah, they’re starting to feel it and rebel, Filoni may give a definitive fate of all the clones, since they are mostly all gone except for Rex (and that was retconned) by the Fall of the Empire.

MichaelCasanovaMusic 2 aylar önce

It really is starting to hit the Clones I think. The troopers in the mess hall were nervous about it, but I think Cody really saw the writing all the wall with all of the TK troopers coming out of the Nu Class shuttles.

This episode reminded me of the clones wars at its best. I think without having omega they were free to once again do more mature content. Actual deaths and knife attacks, not just stun guns that are used when omega is in the scene.

The Clones were not immediately phased out. I don't know why anyone thought that. There were Phase 2 Clones on Ferrix in 14 BBY that killed Cassian Andor's foster father. The 1st season, and so far, the 2nd season, of Bad Batch, occur in 19 BBY. There are still a few years left for the Clone Army working for the Empire.

This episode was amazing. Even if you put aside the awesome character development for Cody, the majority of the episode was an action packed clone mission fighting droids, reminiscent of the original clone wars series except this time… you’re kind of rooting for both the clones AND the battle droids. Not to mention the emotional conflict you see within Crosshair and finally CODY IS GOOD AGAIN!!! 20/10 🔥

What i think is insane is how loyal Crosshair is, i saw this when he was commander nothing stopped him. When he was commanded by cody he lissend to him when cody told him to standdown, as soon as the officer was free the offiser was in command he shot the woman. I did feel like he was thinking twice because of cody but he followed orders again. Realy want to know where this story will go !

This episode was crazy! I find it amazing how the creator left us literally not knowing what side to cheer for.. the clones are for the empire now who are commanding the clones to do sinister things so naturally you know the clones aren’t the good guys but this episode gave off that old school clones vs droids vibe and i found myself smiling seeing crosshair and cody wreck some clankers

Dustin Jones 2 aylar önce

@Kristopher Prime I feel this is a decent follow up to finale of the Clone Wars. A sort of parting glass. It's showing that despite whatever we wish, we can't go back to the past, it won't feel the same. Times change and we have to change as well...Crosshair is stuck wishing everything could go back to the way it was, he's rejecting maturity as a person, because he's afraid of who he might change into-so he lets others define him. It's a question of if he accepts that before it's too late.

Skywalker 26 2 aylar önce

Felt the same way

Kristopher Prime 2 aylar önce

that is the beauty of this episode. at moments, it feels like a classic clone wars episode: "evil" seperatist leader/general took a critical ally hostage, so our "heroes" swoop in to save the day and we get awesome clone vs droid action! but what really stings is the reality of the episode: our usually heroic clones, crosshair and cody, are essentially acting as tools of an oppressive government. the separatist leader is simply wanting to ensure her people's independence from the empire she disagrees with. the usually evil battle droids (whom we usually enjoy the "deaths" of) are practically the good guys in the moment. the VIP they rescue, ultimately orders the execution of the defeated leader. the locals are afraid of our heroes that would normally be liberating them. and finally, the enemy leader was actually one of the "good" separatists, one of the bonteri supporters who saw through the labels of good or evil to try and achieve piece during the clone wars.

Aaron Carpenter 2 aylar önce

I really enjoyed this episode, I think we often forget that crosshairs too is apart of the bad batch. It’s also really interesting because it feels like the clone wars until you remember who Cody and Crosshairs are actually fighting for. It also got me questioning whether Cody still has his chip in, the way he reacted to Crosshair calling the Jedi trainers was one more of shock then agreement. It’s possible overtime with his higher intelligence he was able to subvert the order and maintain independent thought were he came to understand how the Jedi weren’t traitors. I’m not sure but I’m glad they’re resolving Cody’s storyark!

Dustin Jones 2 aylar önce

Rex is no doubt spreading knowledge of the inhibitor chips on the sly. Clones are removing them, I think. At least Cody seemed to have regained his personality rather than the 'Blast em' mentality. Like Wilco, though he might have just always been that way. But Jessie was the same way under the chip-ruthless and clearly agitated by something he couldn't understand.

I find it interesting that even though the clones were genetically engineered to be loyal and obedient, their experiences during the Clone Wars made them honorable and more moral than the average stormtrooper. Meanwhile Crosshair, the one Imperial clone who took out his inhibitor chip, is one of the most obedient (for now).

Dustin Jones 2 aylar önce

@Sixmixxed "Do what needs to be done" seems a lot like "good soldiers follow orders". It's something he repeats when his program (literal or metaphorical) clashes with his morality, or lack thereof.

Dustin Jones 2 aylar önce

It strikes me Crosshair is the most immature of the Bad Batch and I mean that literally. Emotionally many of the clones are very young, really, even if they are intellectually adults. Bad Batch has Omega as a literal example of maturity vs the comfort of childhood, but this goes for all the Clones too. Crosshair is still playing games. He doesn't want to grow up, to decide who he wants to be. He just wants to be told what to do. He's afraid of who he might become if he had to choose. So he's trapped letting others define him... afraid of maturity. The rest of CF99 is struggling with the same thing, but they are trying to figure out who they are, who they want to be.

Kadarious Daniels 2 aylar önce

@Ultra Brian that comment went over your head. Only clone left meaning he is the last of the traditional clone.. the last of the clones who will follow any order without a second thought or question… the rest of the clones have developed their own opinions and feelings about the war…. Thats why it seems Crosshair is the only one who isn’t worried about the empire… even if they dont think they are evil and corrupt the clones are still aware that they are being slowly fazed out

Thanks Kanye 2 aylar önce

I like how it didn’t take long at all for Cody to go AWOL. I was worried about him given his seemingly mindless compliance with Order 66, but i guess the chip did it’s job… At least initially. Cody of all clones going AWOL makes me think the chips effect are wearing off.

Tristan Kawatsuma 2 aylar önce

A couple of things to note: Seeing TK Troopers be brought in as occupiers while the clones are meant for combat really shows the difference between the Republic and Imperial Militaries. The first had to be designed quickly to take the war against the Separatist Alliance. The latter though is basically a galaxy-wide police force. And now seeing TK Troopers all over the place just kind of makes it click that it’s really the end. Granted, seeing the fall of Tipoca City was the same, but man did it hit hard. The fact the Separatist governor didn’t mention anything about the terror attack on Coruscant that happened during the whole peace treaty thing just reinforces the fact that Dooku really censored the war from the CIS citizens and politicians. I would not want to be in the shoes of a Separatist who made the peace treaty if they ever found out why the Republic refused to sign it. That is not a fun fact to learn. It would be like the Jedi Order learning the truth behind the occupation of Geonosis, that being the construction of a superweapon that was in the planning phase under the Separatists, but is built by the Republic. I guess we can pretty much say what we see in the episode basically played out in the third year of the Clone Wars. For the first two years the Separatists made successful invasions which eventually stalled, leaving the war in a sort of stalemate for the first two years. But then in the third year the Republic really started to push back the Separatists and by the Outer Rim Sieges, they were invading the heartland of the Separatists. The only difference honestly would be the execution of the governor, which the Jedi wouldn’t order. However it was during this final year of the Clone Wars that a lot of Imperial policy was passed such as the military governors. Maybe the Jedi Order and Republic Senate allowed planets to vote for new leaders in the first two years of the war, but with the creation of the military governors, that lenient policy must have come to an end. You know what’s one thing I see the clone troopers and battle droids not do that I’m sure stormtroopers do? Rounding up potential enemies and executing them as examples of what happens to dissenters. Granted I can see the Republic and Separatists making orders for mass arrests of potential enemies, but the Empire really shows how it’s far more brutal than both of these democracies.

Kristopher Prime 2 aylar önce

that is definitely not something the droids or clones would do, at lest not without direct orders. the droids don't usually care about right or wrong, so they rarely commit atrocities on their own decisions. and the clones had enough good values from the jedi not to do so on a whim. stormtroopers likely knew the empire would approve of such actions and so might have far more often taken such matters into their own hands and executed dissenters.

This was a dope episode I loved the action and the subtle details like when the other clones did not want to sit with him. Ultimately I’m happy Cody went AWOL because even he became woke and realised what the Empire is about.

Speaking of music, I really did think the music was spot-on in this episode. Fit the tone perfectly.

I think they traded the kamino clone rebellion to a real rebellion from clones... I think they will die being loyal soldiers to the republic and that would be the main reason why clones were no longer used; most of them were killed by the empire

The spiral stairs were going up in the wrong direction. If you go back to the days of castles, you defended your castle from the top down. You had the advantage of using your right-hand with your sword as you go down and as most people are right-handed, helped them against raiders.

I thought this was an amazingly dark and grim episode for the series and I love seeing the further transition from Republic to Empire. I think the season is off to a very strong start so far and the overall tone will darken considerably from season one. Excellent Breakdown Paul. Cheers!

This is easily one of my favorite episodes of Star Wars animation. Awesome callbacks to the Clone Wars as well as running with a different tone made for a gripping episode.

The Term Bad Batch is now starting to Broaden. The Term Bad Batch no longer means the Group of 6 clones. Its starting to mean pretty much all the clones that left the Empire. I definitely feel this show will eventually represent all the clones to unite against the empire. Possibly there will be a Bad Batch Clone Army. Its nice to see a mature star wars show that represent all the clones in general.

When Cody said the "and we've got to live them too" line he looked at Crosshair so I wonder if he was talking about his choice of picking crosshair for the mission since he killed the governor

This episode really shows us how skilled you have to be to survive a fight with droids, and droidekas at that. So imagine the skill gap. Storm troopers could never.

Episode 3 was a really, really great episode! My fav part was Crosshair nailing TWO 🎯 shots with precision was just insane. However "individuality" of those two droids in this one: The one saying "Mmmmh Hmmm" and the other "Nice shot" while high-fiving the tank droid driving was just hilarious! XD Cant wait for next weeks episode. 10/10

Hey Paul, a couple things… Firstly, you corrected yourself on screen with Commander Cody ‘s designation. You were correct the first time in the video …it is CC2224… The term CT refers to clone trooper, and that is a designation for any clone trooper. However, if a clone trooper gets promoted to say, the rank of captain like captain Rex, he still retains his CT designation. Some troopers, however, were created and bred for command, and, those troopers have a CC designation, which refers to clone commander, which Cody is. So his correct designation is CC2224. Regarding this episode, while sad how it ended, with the death of that governor, I didn’t love watching this, as it was taste or nostalgia for the clone wars missions of gold. Watching Cody and his platoon of troops assault the compound park in back to the days of the clone wars, and how effective and creative of thought the clowns actually were in combat… man, the rebels should have really utilized them more. :-)

Not sure tittle is about Cody. Other clones have been disillusioned and deserted the Empire but no other clone that I can remember has been so alone than Crosshair. And he did it to himself, with his devotion to the Imperial Army

It seems that the mission and the words of Cody affected him, at the beginning of the episode he don't hesitate when he his dissimissed but in the ending he waits a few seconds.

Emmdoz 2 aylar önce

It says in the episode Cody’s designation is CC-2224 not CT, so you were initially correct. Also pretty sure the place we first see Crosshair is the Coruscant barracks with the war memorial, the one we saw ahsoka escape from when she was framed.

Kayone73 2 aylar önce

Yeah, Crosshair feels like being a soldier for the Empire is the only thing that gives him value, and he sees his brothers in Force 99 as being lost and directionless as well as abandoning him. Also he knows all the atrocities he's now committed fighting for the empire and in his mind he had to constantly double down on his duty to the Empire, otherwise every evil act he's committed can no longer be justified in his own mind.

I want to mention, Crosshair waking up and basically repeating the same crap everyday resembles to Callus in Rebels just before he turns to the Rebels. I think this can be a start of a turning point as well for Crosshair, but it’s probably too early for that.

Michael Barquet 2 aylar önce

This was a very good video. But there was one key detail you missed. In the end of the episode once the mission is complete they send only tk-troopers. This goes more to show that the empire completely wanted to do away with the clones. They send the clones on the hard mission. Where some die although the mission was completed. And then you see the tk-troopers be sent in once the fighting was over just to control the situation meanwhile the remaining clones limp away back to their ship. This was meant to represent the transition.

Valas 2 aylar önce

I think after he experiences the how little care the empire care for him he will go on his own and maybe an episode when he saves his own squad but refuses to swallow his own pride that they were right and goes on his own. It will make sense if he meets up with the Bad batch because he was the one who originally introduced them to Rex in the clone wars. Even maybe crosshair walks past a lab where they are experiementing with making Series-0 Dark troopers who were actually made from clones troopers enhanced with Robotics to try and use make a hybrid clone battledroid.

The first two episodes were okay, but not my favourite. But, this THIS is everything I wanted. All Crosshair, and he’s actually talking and we get to see his face more, having Cody back, seeing them work together, so well and then having Cody hesitate to follow orders, while Crosshair follows through. And then we find that Cody has gone AWOL. That’ll be fun. I’m interested to know why Crosshair and the rest of TBB like him so much, given he’s a reg. I feel like that’s a story, there. It was also nice to see the battle droids, again, lol. And I liked Governor Ames. All she wanted was what was best for her planet and was killed for it, just like Mina Bonteri. It’s funny, tho, how she said Dooku was right, all along. They still have no idea how deep it really went. Dooku didn’t even fully realize until it was too late. Loved the episode, overall, excited to see where Crosshair goes next. Interesting that Rampart didn’t mention Clone Force 99 being alive, unless the events on Dexis predate the battle on Serenno. That would make more sense, given that Hunter said I’m the premiere that they had stayed off of Imperial radar for months and Crosshair had been stuck on Kamino for only one. I can’t imagine his recovery time would have taken that long, so maybe. Either way, it’s gonna come back to bite both of them. I can tell.

What if their organic chips are just degrading? And they have more trouble as time goes on because of the degradation of the chips. I also think "The Solitary Clone" refers to BOTH Cody AND Crosshair!

I kinda think the opposite of you regarding Crosshair, I could totally see one of the last shots of the series being Crosshair putting on his standard Stormtrooper helmet and just blend into a crowd of Stormtroopers. He's getting colder if anything, I can't see him ever rejoining his brothers & sister.

My biggest fear was that Cody will be killed by Rex in combat and we'll see the scene which is similar to Fives death but even more tragic. But now Cody is AWOL, so there's no need for them to confront each other. It's such a relief! Now even if Cody dies in the final of season 2 it will be a heroic sacrifice, not a tragedy between two brothers. Of course I love Cody and he deserves better, but his death is unfortunately quite logical due to his absence in the Rebels...

This was the most creative episode for the bad batch so far, loved seeing the clones tactics with a Jedi. Feel so sorry for Crosshair, dudes so loyal to the Empire/ Republic he can’t even see what he’s fighting for when someone says it straight to his face. I was not surprised they’ve retconned Cody’s death though, still want Vader to be the one to kill the AWOL clones though but I feel that’s going to be Crosshairs job

Dustin Jones 2 aylar önce

It's not loyalty, I think. He believes in the Empire no more than he did the Republic. What it is, is fear. Fear of self definition. He's like a kid who can't grow up, so he continues to let his parents control his life, and he can still 'play'. And that's not a metaphor considering the clones are very young emotionally.

My theory: the inhibitor chips were one time use: think how tups broke down after activation. As time went on their ability to override the clones waned until now where clones are now reflecting upon what they have done and are confused. “Why did I kill General Jedi? We fought together for years…and…I didn’t hesitate? Why? I should have…but I didn’t? What happened why would I do that?” Because of this clones are overriding their control snd well you can see the results

Corey Simpson 2 aylar önce

I think either the next episode or the one after that will feature Rex calling the Bad Batch to help and they will need to go rescue Cody with Rex. Or Rex and Cody meet and then get trapped and need help and that’s when he calls TBB.
