We’ve already seen former Clone Troopers adapt in the Empire era

The fact that this show takes place after The Clone Wars shouldn’t add any intrigue to it whatsoever. We have already seen clones and how they adapt to the new world after the Republic fell in Star Wars Rebels.

I believe it was in season two, where we got reacquainted with Rex and a couple of his trooper buddies. They were hanging out on a planet and getting into some trouble with the Imperials. They were able to take out their inhibitor chip and began living by their own rules. It didn’t take them long to join Ahsoka in helping out the fledgling Rebellion and join the cause against the evil Empire.

Why would the Bad Batch be any different? I’m sure we will see them either dealing with Order 66 or because they are so intelligent and enhanced, they’ll figure out about their chips and remove them. Either way, them dealing with a new world is something we’ve already seen and don’t care to again.
