The Bad Batch Episode 10 Proves The Show Sucks The Most In ALL Of Star Wars
87The Bad Batch Episode 10 offered us another filler episode with not much to like, not much to learn about, and the only thing really good was really the action and that was it. Sound familiar? It should. Just about every other episode is another filler episode; another side quest that doesn’t affect our main story and subplots.
SUBPLOTS + BLAND STORYTELLING The Bad Batch show started off really strong with a very bold episode 1. It established the Empire integrating itself into the galaxy, and kicked off the subplot of explaining why the clone army should be embraced into the empire instead of integrating new recruits; that was Tarkin’s whole purpose in the show. I mean, even Crosshair we haven’t seen a lot of either. Imagine this whole time, we would be getting subplots relevant to the story of the Empire, primarily following Crosshair- throughout the show, we could see him go on missions like in Episode 3 where he purged Saw Gerrera’s camp. The more we see stuff like that, the more he becomes a villain. In order to see scenes like that though, we need to make sure it’s all about Crosshair finding the Bad batch and tracking them down once and for all. At this point, it could even be a redemption arc where we see Crosshair slowly become more defiant of his chip’s orders. Maybe not even that, we could’ve got a whole subplot where Tarkin, or Crosshair pick up on the fact that the Kaminoans know where the Bad Batch is pretty much always, since they now have two bounty hunters on payroll tracking and finding Omega. Essentially, what I’m saying is that, the episodes, like episode 10, don’t raise the stakes of the show because there are no subplots to follow what the Empire is up to.
LACK OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT + FILLER EPISODES What’s even worse is that, even if the show’s stakes were raised with subplots, I wouldn’t care enough about the characters, about the team, if they got in a firefight or something. Simply because, we haven’t really gotten to know the team. Omega is the only well developed character in the entire show. However, the show is called the Bad Batch. So, why doesn’t the show reveal more about each character? The show has 16 episodes to air, and Star Wars couldn’t spare 6 to give us origin stories for each one of the crew? Even showing us an Omega origin story episode where we see her grow up around the events of big Star Wars events. Maybe we get an episode of Omega running around hiding from Grievous and Ventrice when they invaded Kamino; or even watching the Obi Wan vs Jango Fett fight. It would be interesting to see that much. Not only that, but show small episodes of the batch fighting throughout the clone wars in team developing stories that make them feel like they have been a very tight team forever; making Crosshair more relevant to the story than he is right now being given credit for. Instead, episode ideas like that are wasted on filler episodes like this most recent one. And no no no, episode 10 could’ve been interesting… In the episode’s first five or so minutes, Hunter exclaims his disliking for the fact that they have to save a separtist senator; which is good character development, except for the fact that he never hesitates to do the job after Cid’s like: you want money or not? Then he drops it like nothing happened. He doesn’t hesitate when he’s saving the Senator, and we don’t explore the fact that he is bothered by him being a seperatist anymore than that first five minutes.
I don’t know, episode 10 just reminded me a little bit of my criticisms of the series thus far. What do you think? Do you agree?
