Crosshair finds a new friend on a remote ice planet outpost and the rest of the Bad Batch deals with a natural disaster on a paradise planet.
NOTE: We are reviewing episodes 12 and thirteen of season two of The Bad Batch as we start catching up on our coverage of this season.
Season two of The Bad Batch is rapidly progressing towards its finale. The last time Star Wars fans saw Crosshair, he was teaming up with Commander Cody. Then Cody went AWOL, and Crosshair was seemingly questioning his role with the Empire. Now, Crosshair is sent on a mission to a remote outpost on a frozen world where he meets Commander Mayday. Things for the Clones aren’t much better there, and an Imperial lieutenant has a grudge against clones to make things worse.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Bad Batch help Phee pull off the purchase of an artifact before taking a trip to the paradise planet of Pabu. Just as they are getting comfortable there, a natural disaster strikes. Now the team is making big decisions about their future and their place in the galaxy.
