After many long months of waiting, The Clone Wars Season 7 has finally been released on
the Disney+ streaming service.
The season begins with the Bad Batch episode, exploring the failed clone productions that
have been able to join the Clone Army because they possess a desirable trait, making them
very useful for unique situations.
On top of this, the Clone Army have discovered that the Sepratist droids are now able to
calculate every one of their moves based on past tactical and strategic actions.
Rex believes his dead brother, Echo may actually still be alive and somehow providing information
to the sepratist army.

week until the conclusion of Season 7 of the Clone Wars!
The episode begins with Master Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker discussing their next
plan of action against the separatists.
They are interrupted by Cody and Captain Rex, who believes he has discovered the reason
for the recent losses of the Clone Army forces.
His theory states that the Droid army now have the capability of calculating any move
the Clones make based on past actions alone.
Rex notes that every time they employ a new strategy, it works for the first time, but
then proceedingly fails the next time it is used.
If the droids can learn to defeat Rex, they could figure out how to defeat the whole Clone
Army.
Because of the similarity of the Droids’ strategy to that of Rex and Echo’s, he believes
that Echo may still be alive and feeding information to the separatists.
In order to gather information on how the droids are able to calculate the Clone’s
strategy, Cody plans to take a small unit of clones behind enemy lines to a sepratist
cyber centre which handles all Droid battle communications.
The small unit assigned to the mission is the Bad Batch.
Before they begin the mission, Rex also takes a moment to remember his fallen brothers.
As we meet the Bad Batch, we learn that they are defective clones, each having their own
desirable mutation.
We have Hunter, who is the leader of the squad - and is able to sense electromagnetic waves,
giving him a huge advantage against droids on the battlefield.
Next is Wrecker - who was gifted with inhuman strength and was the team’s brawn.
After that is Crosshair - who was blessed with incredible aim and patience, and finally
Tech, who was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in all electronics.
On their way to the landing zone, their gunship was attacked and eventually shot down by battle
droids.
Commander Cody was left seriously injured, and was trapped in the wreckage of the gunship.
This is the first glimpse we see of the extreme ability of the Bad Batch, with Wrecker lifting
the entire gunship by himself, freeing Cody.
The group moves Cody to a safe location and begin attacking the battle droids with an
extremely aggressive, but effective strategy.
They manage to defeat the droid squad, before moving towards the cyber centre.
Once again the incredible traits of the Bad Batch are shown off, as Hunter leads the squad
with his extraordinary sensory capabilities.
As Cody is unable to continue, Rex announces that he is taking charge of the mission and
will give the next commands.
This creates massive tension within the group, as Crosshair and Wrecker threaten to fight
the other Clones.
Hunter quickly intervenes, ordering his men to listen to the command of Rex.
Kix remains with Cody to ensure his safety, as the other Clones move on, encountering
a Sepratist Outpost near to their target location.
Rex decides that they should capture this outpost, hoping to gather vital information
on the Separatists' algorithm and their future battle strategy.
Using the Bad Batch’s prior aggressive attack strategy, Rex orders his men to storm the
outpost, overpowering the droid army and securing control of the area.
They rapidly overwhelmed the outpost’s droid protection, taking control of the command
and communication centre.
Tech moves to hack into the outpost central computer, in an attempt to explore its defensive
capabilities.
He intercepts a message announcing the impending arrival of heavy droid reinforcements, under
the command of Sepratist Admiral Trench
Rex then decides to split up his quad as the droid reinforcements arrive.
Trench attempts to send word to the droid commanders on the planet about the clone’s
impending arrival, but they are quickly shot down and unable to communicate the message.
Rex, Crosshair and Jesse keep the guards occupied with heavy fire, while Hunter Tech and Wrecker
work their way into the building, capturing its central command centre.
Once again, Tech hacks into the central computer system of the command centre, hoping to extract
the algorithm and put an end to excessive Clone Losses.
This time, Tech is successful in obtaining the algorithm but there is a small problem.
The algorithm is not contained within the storage of the computer system, but is instead
a live transmission from Skako Minor, a neutral planet
in the war.
