We celebrate 700 episodes of Podcast Stardust with a discussion of “The Return” from season three of The Bad Batch. Can Hunter and Crosshair reconcile for the better of the team?
This episode of Podcast Stardust marks another milestone for the show: 700 episodes! We reflect on this achievement to begin the show and our process of putting together three episodes a week. After that, we turn to the main topic of the show with a look at episode five of season three of The Bad Batch. This episode is all about reconciliation. Crosshair and Omega have rejoined the Bad Batch after their escape from Tantiss, but Crosshair is having trouble fitting in. When Echo arrives to debrief Omega and Crosshair on their escape from the Imperial research facility, Crosshair suggests a remote outpost where they might be able to decrypt some vital information. This provides an opportunity for the team to not only work together, but possibly put the past behind them. We’re breaking it all down on this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- 700 episodes of Podcast Stardust and what it means to us,
- Our initial thoughts on “The Return,” which is episode five of season three of The Bad Batch,
- The conflict between Hunter and Crosshair and how they manage to put their differences aside,
- The meaning of the ice vulture and the symbolism it has with Crosshair,
- Wrecker and his relationship with Crosshair and Hunter,
- Omega’s role in the mission, and
- Echo’s return and involvement with this mission.
Our discussion of episode four of season three of The Bad Batch can be found in episode 697.
