Ok guys so the time that we’ve been waiting for for a very long time at this point has finally
arrived. We have a brand new trailer for the Bad Batch Season 2, as well as the titles of every
single episode, and their release dates… And let me tell you these episode titles will get
you very intrigued for the season to come, including something huge with count dooku…
It’s not going to be what you think… So hit that subscribe button and let’s get into it!
So to start off with the trailer, I won’t break down the whole thing because its
honestly not too different from the one we already got a few months ago,
and the one at celebration. But I will point out the really cool parts.
The first really interesting part is the Bad Batch lurking through the ruins of an uknown,
unnamed planet. This is probably an old Separatist World that has been
heavily clamped down on by the Empire and left without repairs after the war. The
Empire was particularly harsh against former separatist worlds because of
their disloyalty during the time of the Republic, so this makes a ton of sense.
After that we see a really strange but interesting creature on a desolate world. If you cast your
mind back to the Clone Wars series, you’ll remember a small arc about a wild creature
known as the Zillo beast. The ominous tone that we were left with at the end of that arc was that
Palpatine had plans to Clone the Zillo beast or otherwise use it for some nefarious scheme… This
may be the end result of that cloning program. A mix between a biological and cybernetic creature,
combining the strengths of both. And the Zillo beast has extremely tough hide covering it’s body,
even resistant to blaster bolts and possibly lightsabers… So this thing really will be
a force to be reckoned with… And not to mention, the entire through line of all of
these current Star Wars shows is cloning. With the mandalorian showing us the snoke-looking tanks,
the Jedi Survivor trailer showing a man in a tank, and the Bad Batch showing us Mount Tantiss,
palpatine’s secret cloning facility from legends… This would be just another step in that direction…
Next up we see a clone trooper speaking to Crosshair, next to a very mysterious wall
of text. We’ll get to the text in a minute, but the identity of this Clone Trooper is sadly not
Commander Wolffe as many have speculated, because you can see his right eye. Completely fine. I
don’t think this is Cody here, although the scar is on the other side which is hidden, and we have
seen him in the trailer. But more interestingly is the wall behind him. This could be a wall of
names of Fallen Clones throughout the war, a list of confirmed Jedi kills, or something much darker…
Right after that we see a group of Trandoshands completely firespraying what looks like the
surface of Kashyyyk. This is extremely interesting because before the bad batch ever appeared in
the Clone Wars Season 7, there was an arc involving them and Master Luminara Unduli,
set on kashyyyk. It would take us past order 66 and show us the aftermath of the order… This may
be related to that, and we might finally get to see what really happened to Master Unduli. Why was
she captured and used as Imperial Propaganda in STar Wars Rebels, when almost no other Jedi were…
Following that we see Gunji, who you’ll all remember from the original Clone Wars
Series. We had already seen him in the previous trailer, but it’s cool to see
that he’s going to be directly involved in the action. The original Younglings
lightsaber construction arc was actually a backdoor pilot for a brand new tv series,
created by George Lucas. In fact it was the last TV series that he ever greenlit for Star Wars,
and if the Disney buyout wasn’t on the cards, it likely would have been created… Very
interesting to think how the current canon would look if George had kept star wars!
Either way, after that we finally get confirmation that Bail Organa
will make an appearance in the show. This was pretty well speculated,
but its good to see that he’s there. And no doubt this is the same model used for
Tales of the Jedi. It was possibly created for this first, and then used in tales…
After that we get the reallly ominous and interesting scene. The Bad Batch inside of
Count Dooku’s palace on Serenno. This palace of course featured
in the Original Clone Wars series and points to the fact that the Batch may
uncover the truth about the clone wars. That Palpatine was playing both sides of the war,
and dooku was helping him do it. I really cannot wait to see how this arc is handled in the show…
But now lets move on to the episode titles… these
are incredibly interesting and point to a major shift in tone for the show…
Episode 1 and 2 are called “spoils of war” and “ruins of war”, which are pretty generic,
and will probably take us to that ruined location I mentioned earlier. This will
most likely just be the Batch Uncovering secrets from the war, and may begin the
quest that leads them to dooku’s palace later on… These will air as a double episode on January 4.
Episode 3 is called the Solitary clone and will air on January 11… This one is really
interesting. Who could this solitary clone be? It could be the boring answer of Cut Lawquane again,
but I’m thinking it might be someone different. What about Sev who was lost on Kashyyyk in the
Republic Commando game… We do see in the trailer that they go to kashyyyk, so that is certainly
on the cards. It could also be Boba Fett… I’ll explain this more later, but the first letter
of the episode titles for episodes 4-7 spell out the name Fett… I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
Next is Episode 4, Faster on january 18. This one really tells us nothing,
so lets move onto the next.
Episode 5, entombed on January 18. This one is probably a filler episode honestly,
similar to the infested one from last season. Who knows, maybe it’ll surprise us though.
Episode 6 is dropping on February 1, and is called Tribe. This one could
be really interesting. It could show us a tribe of lost clone troopers who
escaped their programming and established a settlement somewhere off in the outer rim.
After that we have a double episode drop on February 8, called the Clone conspiracy
and “ Truth and consequences”. Very interesting that they’re doubling up halfway through the
season. This both tells us that they really don’t want this show’s finale overlapping with
the Mandalorian, and also that this is a bit of a mid season finale. They did similar with
Star Wars Rebels back in the day. The titles of these episodes are also extremely interesting.
The arc where Fives discovers the inhibitor chips in the heads of every clone trooper is
called the Clone Conspiracy arc, so this will very likely be related to that. And considering
it’s a two parter, I’m sure it’s going to be huge. It could also tie into Boba learning of
this truth, as like I said before, the four episodes leading into this spell out Fett.
AFter that on Feb 15 is “The Crossing” we can’t really gather too much from that one.
Same deal for the next one on February 22, called “Retrieval”. Maybe it’s
related to retrieving crosshair, but there’s really no way to know.
Episode 11, on March 1st is called Metamorphisis. This word means to
change in form, so it could denote a huge change in both character and
maybe even physical appearance for one of the batch members…
After that on the 8th of March is episode 12, called “the outpost”… Now i’m thinking this
is related to the Imperial Outpost on Weyland, known as Mount Tantiss. The same place we saw at
the end of Season 1. In Star Wars legends, this is where Palpatine held an assortment of ancient
sith artefacts, treasures and archives, as well as cloning facility inside of the mountain. As
I said earlier, this is going to connect deeply with the Mandalorian, Grogu and Snoke later on.
Next up on March 15 is Pabu. This one is kinda hilarious as the first thing that came
to my mind was Pabu the Ferret from the Legend of Korra. By the way if you get that reference,
go check out the description to see my awesome Avatar the last airbender channel. REally I don’t
know what this episode is, but im going to say it involved Ferrets just for the connection to Korra!
After that on March 22 is episode 14 “tipping point”. This will likely set
up the two part finale, and bring forward huge stakes for those two
episodes. Something major will happen here and prepare us all for a huge finale…
Finally we have the two part finale on March 29, with the two episodes called “The Summit” and
“Plan 99”. Now these are absolutely incredible. The summit clearly refers to the Mount Tantiss,
as we saw it’s summit in the final episode of Season 1. Plan 99 however could actually refer to
the deep legends clone order known as Order 99. This was pretty much the opposite of Order 66,
and allowed Palpatine to test the ability for a being to switch allegiances at a moment’s notice.
During a huge battle on the planet Bogoa during the Clone Wars, Count Dooku, on the Orders of
Palpatine issued Order 99 to a separatist droid named Coppertop. He hoped to test the droid’s
ability to immediately switch sides and fire on his droid brothers. The test was a complete
success and Coppertop wreaked havoc on the droid army, giving the Republic a huge advantage at the
battle of Bogoa. and that’s a perfect segway into the next video. If yo uwant to see how Order 99
was executed and how the battle went down, click the card on screen right now and I will see you in
the next video. You don’t want to miss that one! Thanks so much guys and see you in the next one.
