The Bad Batch S2 Episode 1 BREAKDOWN DOOKU!

The Bad Batch S2 Episode 1 BREAKDOWN DOOKU! –

we start off season 2 episode 1 on a tropical planet with crabs chasing wrecker, echo, and hunter, while tech and omega are in the ship keeping watch. She’s begun studying with Tech who’s got her learning all the imperial ships and their ins and outs. So it’s clear that each member of the bad batch will be coaching her on their respective specialties. Wrecker on strength training perhaps, tech on studious and electronics, hunter on hunting and combat, and Echo on…well..I guess a combination of everything.

As the crew escape narrowly, Omega comes in clutch with her bow n arrow which is something the night sisters used in the clone wars, more info about this weapon will be revealed later on in the show I hope as it’s a cool one with a rich history.

The crew get back to Cid and deliver the cargo, completing another job. As they enter the cantina, we see some arcade game with a phase 2 clone trooper helmet on it. I thought this was fun to see.

They meet Cid’s new friend, Phee, a trustworthy pirate which doesn’t mean much. I wonder if we’ll get to see Hondo Ohnaka again now that we’re talking about pirates.

Phee mentions the next mission and Cid explains further. Their next mission is to go to Serreno, particularly castle serreno, Count Dooku’s former home. Now some of you may wonder why Dooku lived in a castle, which doesn’t seem too humble for someone who used to be a jedi master. Dooku was royalty, and he was the count of serreno. When he gave up being a jedi, he resumed his official title of Count and went back to his castle. Once he became the leader of the separtists army, or rather, the face of it, he accumulated wealth beyond even his royal family’s worth from all the worlds he conquered, including his own people of Serreno.

Cid explains the Empire is raiding his castle and taking all of his relics and riches. The Bad Batch are to take some of the treasure of Dooku’s castle which would be more money than all of their past jobs combined.

Cid explains once the Empire makes their way over here to her, and shut her down, the boys won’t get anymore jobs, so this may be something worth risking, even though the empire is after them.

as they head to Serreno, Echo mentions that hiding is not the way to live. Hunter explains that they’re living like this for Omega’s safety, and Echo blames everything on Omega, saying they have their own lives too. Which is true, but at the end of the day, Hunter is the leader of the crew, and he calls the shots. Omega is like a daguther to him at this point, so he’s not going to abandon her.

Omega hears this and gets sad.

Landing on Serreno, They notice Serreno is quite destroyed, and it’s because the Empire did the same thing here that they did on Kamino, destroy it.

The Clones are already moving a ton of the cargo with imperial escort ships, this only happens when something of immense value is being transported that requires that level of security. The things Dooku collected as the leader of the separatists are beyond any of our comprehension, let alone his days as a Jedi and Sith. The holocrons and jedi sith artifacts go far beyond just money and things of credit value.

The crew break into one of the containers and start to rummage through, as they find jewels and treasure. The boys say Dooku took all this from the worlds he conquered through his corruption, when Omega says isnt that what we’re doing. Which is true, from a certain point of view, however, another good point is made in response where she’s told it depends what they do with the treasure that defines their level of corruption or intent.

As the Clones eventually discover a heist is happening, Omega, Echo, and Tech get separated from Wrecker and Hunter, as they the 3 are trapped in the container which is about to leave orbit.

When Wrecker and Hunter try to catch a ride on it, they realize it’s a bad idea and jump off, landing them at the top of Dooku’s palace, getting them into his head quarters. This is very same HQ that we saw plenty of times in the Clone Wars where Dooku handled many of his affairs, including when he got that gnarly curse put on him by the night sister mother talzin herself.

Omega Tech and Echo make their way through the ship, and one thing you’ll notice is that they put their blasters into stun only, whereas the clones executing order 66 are shooting to terminate. This is a nice subtle touch as it tells us they don’t want to kill their brothers, and they recognize that their violence is not their doing, but rather the brainwashing of order 66 and ultimately the inhibitor chip in their heads.

Hunter and Wrecker use Dooku’s lift and descend out of the blaster fire after throwing a smoke bomb.
