Ian is sometimes creepier and more memorable in animated form than he is in live action.
Spoilers Bad Batch Season 2 - This Fall
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
Random thought; you know what may be a really evocative way to symbolise how the clones are being discarded? Having the Empire remove/tear down the Memorial of the First Battle outside the Imperial Military Operations HQ. I wonder if that's something they'll end up showing and (partly) why the made show a point of featuring it this season.
Oh and they named the super aggressive crabs from the first episode "Aggrocrabs". That's all. That's the whole thought.

Two episodes dropped today. Did you watch them both?
Oh, I didn't realize that. Thanks.
EDIT: Seen it now. Wow, Palpatine really Xanatos-Gambitted that one. Though of course it was a foregone conclusion (literally) that Stormtroopers would replace Clone Troopers.

Lot of continuity in these episodes... the senator from Rogue One, Bail, Chuchi (& other Pantorans), Halle Burtoni, Banking Clan alien, an Ishi Tib, Mas Amedda, Palpatine, V-wings, Level 1313!(or its equivalent)...
But where was Mon Mothma?
I too thought it was Crosshair. (In fact I first thought it might be someone else, except the targets weren't Jedi.)

The first season of 'Andor' took place about five to four years before ANH, around such time Leida was 13 going on 14. The second season of 'The Bad Batch' seems to be around a year after the Clone Wars, which is 18 years or so prior to ANH; so yeah, this is indeed about the time she would have been born, and a legitimate reason why Mon would be away from the Senate for a time.
Another thing of note regarding the current chronology: this is also around the time when Fulcrum starts working for Bail Organa, so I wouldn't be totally shocked if she showed up at some point. If not before the end of the season then in the next.
I'm pretty sure that the workshop/landing platform where Rex took the Senator and met the Batch is meant to belong to the two sisters Ahsoka met in the final season of Clone Wars. Looked like the same location, and Rex did mention it belonged to some friends (he never met the two directly that we saw, but would have had access to them via Ahsoka).
For now at least. They've definitely left the door open for a return.
Yes, definitely. Wookieepedia overtly identifies it as Trace Martez's repair shop. The Martez sisters previously appeared in TBB season 1's "Decommissioned," where we learned they're working with a resistance contact who's implicitly Ahsoka.
Makes sense they'd reuse the location, both for that reason in-story and for the budgetary reason of reusing an existing digital "set."
Since they seem to be building an arc with Captain Rex joining the nascent Rebellion, I'd imagine they've paired Echo with him so that they can continue to follow his arc with one of the series regulars involved.
Yes, it is it. For some odd reason, it's the one location in Star Wars I've had most etched in my memory (despite seeing the episodes only once). Perhaps it's because it was the last abode of Ahsoka (on-screen) before all hell broke loose, so I've remembered it as a safe haven on Coruscant of some kind, so it felt like the most sensible place to go to if I visited imperial Coruscant, so at first I didn't even notice we were going there because I just assumed it's where we were going.
I do. Ok, I have a time share there, but it counts!
I can't remember, did Andor's senate scenes ever include the hovering cam droids?
Not that I recall.
I get the feeling that might be another reason why they delayed the Bad Batch and released Tale of the Jedi instead. One, it gives us context to Dooku for when we see his old palace and how hypocritical he became with his War Chest, but also to set up Ahsoka being in Bail's Rebel service after roughly a year in hiding.
However. The first time we see Rex in Rebels, he's in sort of retirement, and the Empire seems to want to just welcome him back when he's captured and identified on the Interdictor. No indication that he was some major Rebel in the past. Unless of course any Clone Rebellion was covered up (much like how the Empire suppresses anything about the Jedi), or Rex somehow wasn't implicated (like if the blame fell on Cody, for instance).
