Star Wars Lads

Another excellent episode, and one that looks to be the end to an iconic setting in the Star Wars galaxy. The Star Wars Lads present our full review of the Finale Part 1: Return to Kamino, which has the Bad Batch go after Hunter, and Crosshair openly welcoming a conflict with no pretenses or traps. It's got gorgeous cinematography and awesome action, but this is truly an episode tailored for and defined by the eponymous Clone Commandos we have been following throughout this first season. We speculation on what Finale Part 2 holds, before switching into some early speculation for season 2 of The Bad Batch. Return to your station at once, you have new orders!

That was a HUGE episode of The Bad Batch, and what looks like the start of a final arc for this season. We got some awesome cameos and returns of characters, as well as some jam-packed action and political intrigue, which make for the best of The Bad Batch episodes.

This was an odd episode for The Bad Batch, and one that feels like a side plot that could've worked anywhere else in the rest of the first season of this show. Nonetheless, the Star Wars Lads give our thoughts on this episode and whatever potential it could hold for the future, before moving onto speculation for the next The Bad Batch episode, "Warmantle." Give it a listen, it's a quick one!

The Star Wars Lads had a pretty singular focus for this episode, and it focused on the latest The Bad Batch episode, "Rescue on Ryloth." We mention the two comics we reviewed on Wednesday, Wars of the Bounty Hunters #2 + Dr. Aphra #12, and recommend y'all to check our YouTube video for our review on the two issues. We then press onward to the strong end to the Ryloth arc of The Bad Batch, where we discuss what we liked about the episode, the implications of Howzer and the clones going against orders, what Crosshair is going to to do now that he's fully unleashed, and speculate what next episode and the last four of the season hold. Make sure to give this one a listen, as there are so many moving parts to this show that we try to consider in our discussions! 

Well, that was a really different episode of The Bad Batch! What a surprise appearance, and possibly one that hints at the future of Star Wars animation and how the whole of The Bad Batch will change over time. We breakdown and review this unique episode, before switching our focus to our review of the junior novel from The High Republic, "Race to Crashpoint Tower." It was a quick and exciting read, and one that certainly makes IDW's High Republic Adventures more important than ever. We finish by letting y'all know our full review of The Rising Storm is already up on YouTube, so go check it out there for our full thoughts on the massively entertaining adult novel for Wave 2 of Phase 1 of The High Republic!

In this episode, we give our first impressions of The Rising Storm, which we'll have a full spoiler discussion and review next week! We then close the episode with our thoughts and impressions of High Republic #6 and Dr. Aphra #11, and how they set up the next The High Republic Arc and more of the War of the Bounty Hunters, respectively. We've got a good feeling about this!

Another week has come, and another episode of The Bad Batch has arrived! This week's episode, "Decommissioned," brings back an interesting duo from the end of The Clone Wars, and their interactions with the Bad Batch and Omega provide tantalizing tastes of another larger narrative being built up.
