1.06: Decommissioned
“On a mission to acquire a valuable asset, the Batch encounters smugglers after the same target.”
21 minutes plus credits.
The Bad Batch answers the question of what happened to the droid armies after the end of the Clone Wars, as we see them being scrapped in a giant smelting facility. Cid sends the Batch to bring her a Tactical Droid.
“With clones now serving the Empire, knowing how to defeat them just went up in value.” Tech explains why.
So much so that they’re not the only people after the Droid.
Following the Bad Batch being introduced in the first story in The Clone Wars season seven, the Martez sisters Trace and Rafa return from the second.
Having provided a look at how innocent bystanders could suffer in the war, stuck scraping by on not-so-legal parts salvage and not-remotely-legal runs, they’ve leaned into the latter with the fall of the Republic.
The episode also plays up Wrecker’s dislike of heights, as well as Omega's youth as she struggles with her light bow because of her inexperience and size.
And Wrecker takes a knock to the head and groans "Good soldiers..."
The job goes sideways for a number of reasons stacking on top of each other, showing the Batch’s efficiency at the start and improvising Big Damn Hero moments as they work to fix it.
And Rafa has learned to find out who she’s working for... although we don’t get to.
