The Bad Batch stumbles into a leftover thread from the Clone Wars that makes them question what exactly is Emperor Palpatine up to.
If you have been following along with our re-watch of The Clone Wars, then you probably have a good idea why we decided to share this episode of Podcast Stardust discussing The Bad Batch again. Even if you don’t, sit back and strap in. The Bad Batch have something huge on their hands.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The Bad Batch’s confrontation with Cid and the potential repercussions,
- Dr. Hemlock’s introduction,
- How this episode ties to The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, and other Star Wars content,
- The reveal of the monster and the structure of the reveal, and
- What this episode may mean for the Bad Batch going forward.
We replayed this episode after discussing similar plot points recently in episode 930 and 933. Make sure to check them out if you haven’t already.
