Fans of the animated Star Wars series were thrilled to celebrate this year’s May the Fourth with a brand-new show on Disney Plus titled The Bad Batch. The series follows the events of The Clone Wars and focuses on the titular group, otherwise known as Clone Force 99, which consists of Hunter, Crosshair, Tech, Wrecker, and Echo. The premiere episode which dropped on Star Wars Day revealed there’s another defective clone in their midst–a young girl by the name of Omega.
Since the first episode, we saw the group get to J-19 and meet up with a familiar face in Cut Lawquane, Hunter got dad lessons on how to take care of Omega, and new dangers have been presented. For one, new soldiers were introduced, with Crosshair leading the charge for the Empire. Omega proved she doesn’t back down when there’s a challenge in front of her, going after an Ordo Moon Dragon and meeting with Fennec Shand.
We learned earlier on in the season that someone has a bounty on Omega, making us realize she has to be more valuable than we initially thought. We were also introduced to Cid, a Trandoshan who’s willing to give up information and payment to the Bad Batch if they do her some favors.
The Bad Batch episode 11 debuted today, titled “Devil’s Deal,” and surprisingly, it hardly featured the titular group at all. Instead, we got to see the planet Ryloth which is now under the control of the Imperial Empire, and popular character Hera Syndulla made an appearance. Fans will remember her from Star Wars Rebels.
While we wait for the next episode of The Bad Batch to hit Disney Plus next Friday, let’s take a look at some of the best memes to come out of the show so far.
