I don't know how many of you guys are watching Bad Batch but last night's episode finally made the series relevant, which could have a major impact in the post-RotJ Star Wars lore, including the Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian and who knows what else.
It's a bummer that it took nine episodes to make watching it worthwhile, but I guess that's better than Resistance, which was awful from the start, so much so I stopped watching after 4 episodes.
For those of you not watching, I'll put the highlight in a spoiler tag.
Spoiler!
The child clone who's on the run with the Bad Batch isn't a kind of Jedi in hiding nor is she Force Sensitive: She is a 100% unaltered clone of Jango Fett, making her Boba's "sister".
The Kaminoans want her so that they can continue making clones for the Empire, which is why she's been chase by bounty hunters Fennec Shand and the old Clone Wars series baddie, Cad Bane.

I've enjoyed Bad Batch for what it's been to this point - mostly nostalgia. But you're right, that was a big reveal and makes the show relevant going forward with the lore. [Reply]

It's almost as if Bad Batch is a prequel to The Book of Boba Fett. [Reply]

What I really appreciate about Bad Batch is how nicely it's wrapping up The Clone Wars and expanding the lore.
They got really creative with it. It's just interesting to watch. I mean, meeting Captain Rex in a Republic cruiser graveyard? WOW.
And the abandoned cloning facility. Man, that could go anywhere. At first I thought it was going to be what eventually becomes Bespin. [Reply]

Can I watch just this episode without having to suffer through the rest? My son and I bailed after the first two. [Reply]

This is a series about clones protecting another clone while cloning experiments are continuing.
It's also been revealed in the comics that Sidious started work on the Final Order fleet almost immediately after he created The Empire, which almost certainly means that he ordered his scientists to create clone bodies to transfer his consciousness at that time as well.
Like it or not, Snoke and the return of Sidious are canon and it appears as if Lucasfilm is doing everything they can to fill in that backstory. [Reply]
I won't be surprised if Hondo shows up at at some point in this particular series but I really want to see the live-action version of Hondo in one of the upcoming series.
The robotic Hondo at the Millennium Falcon ride is awesome.
