They’re clones of a white guy, kinda hard to be diverse if they’re the same genetically.

Republic commando meets clone wars. That has been untapped for far too long.

I think it's possible they could have designed the CGI to be more ugly, but there would be diminshing returns.  This is the most ugly and cost effective design they could come up with and apparently they are sticking to it.  Someone let me know they remake the Clone Wars stuff so it doesn't look like an ugly PS2 game.

I'm not really a fan of much outside the first three movies, the prequels were passable and had a few good moments

Haven't been into any of the clone wars or other stuff until Mando came along

I get the idea that these are "special" clones that have been genetically altered, but they look nothing like Jango Fett or even resemble the other clones. Throughout the Clone Wars episodes, we say several ways clones used tattoos, hair color, hairstyles and customization of armor to express their individuality. I don't know why the writers went in this direction. The team feels a little cliche with brooding leader, obviously big strong heavy, brains, silent tough guy. I hope they can get really compelling stories to make me like these guys.

I canceled after they fired Carano. I want to support more SW content, but I don't want to support Disney. Puts Conservative fans in a bind. Not that they care.

They're not new to canon.   They all do have traits of Jango, but the genetic altering did make them more unique.    If Disney/LucasFilms fire KK and her sycophantical brood , I'll watch the series.

I saw them in CW S7. While the episodes were infinitely better than the Ashoka side quest, the eps were still not as compelling as the clone dynamics in The Carnage of Krell.

But if we get some world-building, Vader, Palps, Tarkington, etc - maybe even Ezra's parents or young Kanan, this could be good.

The Bad Batch episodes in S7 were 5 years old by that point. The crudely animated story reels were available on youtube since 2015. I don't blame them for using something that was almost finished anyway. And if they were planning a spin-off show, it makes even more sense.

This show looks like it's going to give us (immediately) post Order 66 stories. Which should be really interesting to see.



The Ahsoka side quest was painful to watch.

You'd like Rogue One. Other than that, I generally agree.

It will be good so long as Filoni is at the helm. The “Bad Batch” is George Lucas’s idea originally. So at least the general concept isn’t a product of Kathleen Kennedy.

Republic Clone Commandos was the best Star Wars games ever and I would have prefer seeing Delta Squad come back.

Ah yes, just like every other Star Wars thread.    We have the usual suspects that claim they’re done with SW, but yet post in every SW thread.

And for the ones that do, if they haven’t listened to you by now, I don’t think they’re going to start now.
You can’t live in America and not end up giving money to someone that hates you. We call that “taxes”. At least with this people are getting entertainment they enjoy for their money instead of paying for politician’s meals.

You can't choose to pay taxes, without legal consequences. You CAN choose who you pay for vapid entertainment.

Disney let Pablo post anti-Trump Nazi memes, but fired Gina for doing it. Guess what the lesson to Disney is when people keep sending them money?

And bullshit everyone isn't paying for it. You guys aren't pulling down l337 torrentz of Mandalorian. You're sending Disney money.

I didn't say everyone isn't paying for it. I said not everyone is paying for it. Do you see that there is a difference?
I am 100% not paying for disney plus. Since you seem so concerned about it, I use a friend of a friend's log in info. Have since day one.

This is basically a rip off of Karen Travis series of books where the batch of special forces clone troopers had a little too much individuality.

Gotta love how Disney takes ideas and tweeks them just enough to not pay credit towards anyone in the expanded universe.

Republic Comando 501st/Order 66

Like 4 books in total.

People hated some of what Karen Travis did but clones being part of the resostance and being able to basically "step in and out of the matrix" because they are clones was a kinda cool concept.

Some of the mandalorian stuff was also interesting.


But fuck Disney.

Hell ya!

And for the record, I think Mandalorian was one of the best shows of the modern age. Watched Clone Wars, and then the extra last season thereof. But other than Rogue One, the rest of new Star Wars can die of AIDS after catching Ebola while getting off with dudes in a highway rest stop infested with Covid.

But what Disney did was a shot across the bow. I don't blame anyone (especially with kids) for keeping Disney+, but fuck em.
