Bad Batch 1x8: Reunion | Full Length Reaction!

100% agree. me and my brother were just talking about this - in case anyone forgot that SW took inspiration from westerns, the mandalorian and tbb are really making it clear. also the kiner bros are killing it with the soundtrack - the homage to the traditional western quick draw music was fantastic

Nyx the Gnome

He and his squad already look like Death Troopers, so I can totally see that angle! Targeting the kid was such a Vader move though....

sarry liddle lady... 😎 and at the risk of repeating myself again and again, but even though it's always been in the DNA of SW, the way the western has seeped back into a TON of it since Mando S1 started is glorious. add in that it's all been done so sublimely and *whisper it* we might be (with what we've had since Mando S1 AND what's to come) a few steps into the greatest spell of SW since it began...

My biggest question at this point is will we see the Cad Bane/Boba Fett standoff in this series or in The Book of Boba Fett?

But will he be in an episode where Boba is played by Tem, or Daniel Logan? I’d love an episode from BOBF where we see Daniel Logan get his chance to shine. Can you imagine it?

Richard Jay

Yeah, what happened to his face is interesting. Bendu keeps saying he'll be the first Death Trooper, but iirc Pershing said that the first phase of these new canon Dark Troopers were people, so Crosshair could become the first Dark Trooper too.

Kyle Katarn

I mean, you saw me. Speechless. His new outfit is badass too, even without the duster he's iconic

Kyle Katarn

Absolutely! Can you link a trailer or something for me?

Kyle Katarn

That would be really cool, I would like for them to keep Cad Bane's original demise but place it later in the timeline. And his showdown with Hunter was basically a shot for shot recreation of that scene in the unfinished arc

Kyle Katarn

Boba Fett is all the rage right now, from BoBF to War of the Bounty Hunters, I'd be surprised if he DIDN'T show up at this point honestly

Kyle Katarn

Cad Bane in OT era, this is legit! I really think his appearance here increases his chances of showing up in BoBF in glorious live action. And yes, give Daniel Logan a chance to be Boba again!!

Kyle Katarn

Yeah, I think a clone rebellion is where we're headed. But I think the Kaminoans are not allies...

Kyle Katarn

I had so many ideas who it could be, and Cad Bane wasn't even a thought! I should have known, haha! Agreed, I thought the shot went right through but I realized on a second watch that it was the red lights on his backpack. If Fennec and Cad Bane fight it's going to be epic

Kyle Katarn

Agreed, it was excellent

Kyle Katarn

It was superb! Not just the awesome Cad Bane moment, the whole thing was paced wonderfully

Kyle Katarn

Damn, Crosshair may have finally crossed over to the dark side! LOVED this awesome episode!! Cad effing Bane!

arliss123

Wow...just, wow!

Now I have to wonder if Boba Fett will pop up so they can re-write his showdown with Cad from that Clone Wars lost episode.

Christopher S. Brown

Yeah I popped when Cad spoke. I’m so glad they are giving him another lease of life. Hopefully we get to see him at some point in the live action show so Fett can finish him off…maybe in the book of Boba Fett as we don’t know if it will be a series of stories set all over the timeline so Daniel Logan can get his moment to shine and take down Cad, with Cad giving him the dented helmet.

Richard Jay

I may have yelled a little bit when I saw Cad Bane haha. Awesome episode. For a second there during the Kaminoan conversation, I got some heavy clone rebellion vibes.

Brett F.

Probably my favorite episode so far this season.

Jared Cantor

Officially the best episode so far

Cad Bane was the last person I expected to see, and I honestly thought Hunter died during their duel. Super intense and very excited to see him. What I'm wondering is if Fennec Shand will try and poach Bane's bounty before he turns in Omega.
