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 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.

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. |

View Quote 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. |

Not sure how I feel about this show...part of me thinks the Bad Batch are a one trick pony / single arc type characters...but I will check it out and hope I am wrong.

Im in to watch the pilot. Beyond that, we'll see how it goes. Not gonna watch it as fervently as Mando

Will watch. Big Clone Wars fan and am interested in spin-offs like this

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. |

Is anybody waking up early or staying up late for the premier?
I’ll be watching after work. |

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.

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. |

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. |
