This episode contains SPOILERS for the 9th episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, "Bounty Lost."

In this 10-minute episode, Johna shares the 2 questions she asked at a recent roundtable interview with showrunners Jennifer Corbett and Brad Rau and voice actor Ming-Na Wen.

She asked: (1) During development, was there a discussion about Crosshair following the Empire by choice instead of being forced, or if another Bad Batcher had been considered for that part? (2) What details did the creators share with you (Ming-Na Wen) or what background story did you create about Fennec's origins that helped inform your performance?

Johna also shares other questions she thought about asking, including Omega's connection to Jango Fett and what made Rex stop fighting for the Republic. Stay tuned for the next Geeky Bubble episode, where Johna and Maria break down the 9th episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, "Bounty Lost."
