Watching this interaction between Echo and Omega is moving, further highlighting how incredibly attached we’ve become with The Bad Batch and its characters. Wrecker: “Don’t get into trouble without us.” Hunter: “Wherever you end up, remember what I said.” The following conversation, and Omega coming to understand what’s happening, is heartbreaking: With the clones being tossed to the curb like garbage, he needs help now more than ever. Viewers are literally only minutes from seeing the end credits – and you do this to fans, Rex? It’s clear Rex is fighting the long game, trying to rebel against the Empire. We make it through both episodes 7 and 8 before realizing something awful.

All of these pieces coming together present these two episodes of The Bad Batch as if they were another extension of The Clone Wars series. This devastating realization does not shock Rex – leading viewers (or at least this one) to not be surprised as the Emperor wins again. The Dark Lord points out this flaw of the clones, offering his opinion on building a new mighty force that can be trusted to do the “right” thing. The attack on Kamino exposes Rampart, but it also exposes that the clones blindly followed orders. Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor was there to come in and highlight his own treachery. Captain Rex and the other characters do what they set out to do: They proved Rampart was a villain. Although, it’s fair to say his presence might also make it easier to realize the Emperor has once again pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes.ĭespite doing the right thing, exposing Rampart for his brutal assault on Kamino and siphoning funds illegally, the end result does not warrant celebration. Star Wars doesn’t promise anyone a long life, so having that knowledge is a reason to be brimming with happiness. It’s truly a relief to see him in The Bad Batch knowing he will survive through the course of both episodes. It’s quite satisfying to see Captain Rex return.

Unfortunately, their creation as “ disposable creatures” leads to a vital flaw when it comes to trying to change that narrative – and the Sith Lord exposes this. Although many clones want to stay in military service, their time is coming to an end and looking to the future is an all-new perspective for them. The clones do not have any representation in the Senate, which means there aren’t any plans to provide for them once their military service is over. If fans have learned anything, Rex and the newly beloved characters within The Bad Batch are looking to do what’s right. Rex asks the Bad Batch for help in Coruscant, bringing these characters back into the Galactic Empire’s fold. Although he’s too late to save the day, his experience is needed to help Senator Riyo Chuchi, voiced by Jennifer Hale, expose Rampart and his orders to destroy Kamino and subvert any possibility of producing more clones. Regardless of whether the Emperor manipulates the situation to his benefit or not, seeing Captain Rex in The Bad Batch is an immediate callback to the original animated series.Īlong with seeing senators fighting to do the right thing, Captain Rex comes in to rescue a clone who is being targeted by an assassin.

Rex’s foundation in The Clone Wars movie and subsequent series provides this overall sense of a world where the Senate plays a huge part in deciding the fates of everyone. He’s the one many clone troopers (and fans) turn to when looking for great leadership. How does The Bad Batch feel like The Clone Wars with Captain Rex?Ĭaptain Rex, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, was a vital part in The Clone Wars. Much like the original series, there’s more happening beneath the surface yet to be uncovered. Star Wars fans find themselves locked within the Galactic Senate as Vice Admiral Rampart, voiced by Noshir Dalal, tries to push through legislation to build a new army, while ridding the galaxy of its clone soldiers. The Bad Batch episode 7, “ The Clone Conspiracy,” and episode 8, “ Truth and Consequences,” are dripping with a feeling of being present within The Clone Wars. What could possible be bad about seeing the captain return in The Bad Batch episodes 7 and 8? There’s been another sighting of Captain Rex in the latest episodes of The Bad Batch – and who would ever be mad about that? Well, there’s some positives that come along with Rex, and one resounding negative, unfortunately.
