The Bad Batch Episode 12 Ending Breakdown + Howzer Clone Rebellion Explained & Season 2 Tease!
8So, The Bad Batch Episode 12 has premiered and the ending of the episode gave us three massive things to talk about: First, the start of the clone rebellion, and it’s potential for Star Wars moving forward. We’ll then talk about Omega’s future in Star Wars being teased and lastly Crosshair’s late purpose in the show.
So, let’s talk about the start of the clone rebellion taking place in this show, in this episode. It’s all begun with Howzer from episode 11 when we saw him to be notably defective unlike most clones we’ve seen in the show. Now, we learned in this episode that most of the clone army he was leading feel the same way about the empire. Now, you have to wonder what this means for star wars projects like the Kenobi series. It’s not confirmed, but if we are to see Commander Cody, who worked with Obi-Wan through the Clone Wars, in the Kenobi series, it would be interesting to see his defection. It wouldn’t be a long shot for Cody to appear in the series either because Temeura Morrison, who plays our live action clone troopers, just wrapped production on the book of boba fett series. As that’s wrapping, the Kenobi series is actually filming right now, so Temuera is available. Kind of a pick it up while it’s hot situation. We even know Darth Vader to be a part of the Kenobi series, and we know that Darth Vader commands the 501st. So, what if we see the 501st become defective in their own ways under the thumb of the greatest sith of all time? How much of a conflict would it be if the 501st defects to that of Kenobi even? Now, that’s a long shot I know, but their defection from Darth Vader could prove seriously conflicting for the show.
Personally, I would’ve liked to have seen this mass defection that the clones had throughout the bad batch series. In certain ways with the bad batch recruiting and removing the chips of stormtroopers, of their brothers. Because Rex showed them how to remove the chips, we could’ve seen The Bad Batch grow their batch through stunning and extracting stormtroopers from all around the galaxy and freeing them of the Empire’s grasp. That’s the potential of the show, but here we are at episode 12 only getting a taste of that. Better late than never, I guess.
Now, when Hera tells Omega that she will surely see her again, that could be teasing Omega’s involvement in the Star Wars canon moving forward, even more so teasing Hera’s potential future cameos in later Star Wars projects where she and Omega meet again. I’ve seen a lot of people saying that Captain Phasma is Omega’s future, which I could see, but wow there would have to be a massive development plot leading to that first. BUt, if that avenue is explored, we could get a Hera vs Omega plot somewhere down the line. Unless the rumours are true of the sequel trilogy of Star Wars being rewritten and reshot, then everything is left up in the air. Personally, I think the soonest we can see this reunion is definitely in season 2 of Bad Batch where the Batch are brought to Ryloth once again. Season 2 could even take place later on in the Star Wars canon to give us the more mature version of Hera that we know from Rebels.
Lastly, with Crosshair being given the go ahead by Admiral Rampart to hunt the batch down, that honestly should’ve been the show this whole time with Crosshair and his squad hunting the batch down- but another better late than never situation.
