Welcome to Dans on Fandoms. I'm Dan.
Hello, Rafa and Trace Martez! It’s been a minute since we last saw them in season
7 of the Clone Wars, but the sisters from Level 1313 on Coruscant are back.
The most recent episode of The Bad Batch, titled Decommissioned, saw the Martex sisters
and the Bad Batch hunting for a Tactical Droid with vital information that was set to be
destroyed in a decommissioning planet of sorts on Corellia.
At the end of the episode, we learned that Rafa and Trace were working with someone who
is trying to take down the Empire, and, after Hunter gave Rafa a data rod with the copied
information from the tactical droid, we saw Rafa and Trace contact that individual to
inform them they acquired the tactical droid data from Corellia with help from rogue clones.
Whomever Rafa spoke to was not revealed, so who exactly was she speaking to?
Rafa told her astromech droid R7 to patch him through so she could contact them, signifying
that the individual she was reaching out to is a male, and my first thought was that it
may very well be our homeboy Bail Organa. The Bad Batch is currently taking place in
19 BBY, the same year as Order 66, and we know that our homie began working to create
what would eventually become the Alliance to Restore the Republic almost immediately
after its fall. In the Ahsoka novel, it was revealed that
Organa went on to build a resistance movement that helped form some of the earliest organized
resistance groups by using the power and wealth of Alderaan.
Furthermore, Organa's resistance movement tried to be aware of reports and rumors throughout
the galaxy on rebellious and insurgent activity, looking for successful independent resistance
groups that might have indicated a possible ally or even a surviving Jedi.
If Rafa was indeed speaking to Bail, it would make perfect sense as to why the Martez sisters
were attempting to capture the tactical droid. As stated in the episode, tactical droids
had intel that could help fight the Empire’s clone army, since tactical droids were used
to fight against the Republic’s Clone Army in the Clone Wars.
On top of that, knowledge of a group of elite, enhanced, rogue clones would be very important
and useful information to Bail and his burgeoning resistance movement, which could totally use
the Bad Batch on their side. Additionally, Organa's resistance movement
eventually maintained a network of secret agents, known as Fulcrums, which was an idea
proposed by Ahsoka Tano, who was probably the most notable Fulcrum agent.
If Rafa was speaking to Bail, this could potentially open the door for Ahsoka to appear in The
Bad Batch at some point, which sign me the hell up for.
That might be a ways away from happening, however, as the Ahsoka novel revealed that
the former Jedi didn’t start working with Bail until 18 BBY and was in hiding from 19
BBY-18 BBY. Rafa, Trace, and Bail are all connected to
Ahsoka, and Ahsoka could’ve been the individual that connected Rafa and Trace with Bail.
Including Bail Organa into the series makes a lot of sense. Not only would this give fans
an opportunity to see him work towards building his resistance movement, but Bail’s inclusion
in the series also opens the door for Ahsoka to appear,
His inclusion would also provide an opportunity for the Bad Batch to aid in the build up of
the Rebel Alliance, which would be pretty dope to see.
This could also provide an opportunity for fans to potentially get to see Saw Gerrera
working with Bail Organa, Mon Montha, and other rebels, since Saw has already appeared
in the series and has already begun his resistance against the Empire.
We do know that Saw worked with the Rebellion for a time, but eventually split off as his
tactics and ideals were too hardlined for Rebel leadership.
At this point, my money is on Bail Organa being the person Rafa spoke to at the end
of Decommission. Not only would his inclusion make a ton of
sense, since we know Bail began building a resistance almost immediately after the Republic’s
fall, but this would also provide the Bad Batch with an opportunity to aid in the creation
of the Rebel Alliance, as well as provide a pathway for fan favorite, Ahsoka Tano, to
possibly appear at some point in the series. Whomever it was that Rafa spoke to, I can’t
wait to see what happens next in the Bad Batch and where that will take the story.
But what do you guys think? Who do you think Rafa was speaking to?
