If the absence of Crosshair wasn\u2019t bad enough, now the Bad Batch (Dee Bradley Baker) has to face a bounty hunter, presumably sent by the Kaminoans, who has her eye on Omega (Michelle Ang). Directed by Saul Ruiz and written by Christian Taylor, \u201cCornered\u201d also marks the highly anticipated <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance of Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), unnamed but recognizable in look and voice as the bounty hunter introduced in <i>The Mandalorian.\u00a0<\/i>Since she will also co-star in the upcoming Disney+ <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>\u00a0<i>The Book of Boba Fett<\/i>, this feels like Lucasfilm really doubling down on this Shand\u2019s importance to the <em>Star Wars<\/em> universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Bad Batch lands on the populated moon of Pantora to restock their dwindling supplies and make ship repairs. There\u2019s more longterm danger as well. The Empire is very much present with an audience of civilians clapping and cheering a parade of Empire-loyal clone soldiers. Even Omega naively believes the propaganda at its surface level: \u201cThe war is over, isn\u2019t that good?\u201d To which Echo replies, \u201cDepends on which side you\u2019re on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Echo\u2019s new armored disguise and his mechanical implants pass him off as a military droid at a pawnshop, and Hunter arranges to \u201csell\u201d the poor guy to get creds, leading to a hilarious exchange: \u201cI\u2019m worth more than 2000!\u2026 You got me for a bargain.\u201d It\u2019s also the first time use is made of Echo\u2019s droid appearance other than his technological interfacing. Though considering how <i>The Clone Wars<\/i> explored the fear of expendability, it\u2019s a missed opportunity to also seriously address the implication of layered dehumanization \u2014 being a clone soldier bred for war <i>and <\/i>passing as a droid in public \u2014 beyond comedic effect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lost in the Pantora marketplace, Omega gets separated from Hunter and the bounty hunter Fennec \u201cfinds\u201d her and offers the ingenue some \u201caid.\u201d This offers a solid introduction to Fennec other than leaning onto the audience\u2019s presumed familiarity with character. The episode delivers on Fennec\u2019s competency as a bounty hunter, both physically and pragmatically. Her casual conversation with Omega and her way of swiping her fruit and teaching her that \u201csometimes it\u2019s okay to break the rules\u201d teases a dimension that wasn\u2019t seen in <i>The Mandalorian<\/i>. Like any bounty hunter, she has no qualms about shooting targets and tossing civilians off their hover vehicles (she racks up a sizable body count), though moments like her warning Omega to \u201ctuck and roll when you land\u201d illustrate a professional quality. She wants to make her target relatively comfortable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The episode is fairly straightforward, but full of rich details. In addition to offering a glimpse at the Empire\u2019s growing influence, \u201cCornered\u201d makes great use of a civilian-populated marketplace, using every part of it for big action setpieces, including escapades through sewers, towers, and air traffic. Everyone has something to do \u2013 Hunter faces off Fennec, Tech hacks into surveillances to keep a close eye, Echo recruits the pawnshop owner\u2019s droids to repair the ship, Wrecker attempts to get Omega back (unfortunately, Fennec can topple a brute his size), and Omega, impressionable enough to fall for a stranger\u2019s ruse but cognizant enough to know to press buttons and pull switches to get away, exercises her resourceful instincts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For now, Fennec appears to be this arc\u2019s antagonist chaser rather than Crosshair, who is\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">presumably busy training proto-stormtroopers conscripts back on Kamino<\/span>. While another formidable antagonist is welcome to help raise the stakes, a scenario with Crosshair doing the tracking and chasing would make for a juicier psychological scenario, especially since that was set up in \u201c<span class=\"s1\">Aftermath<\/span>.\u201d However, that seems to be on the back burner for now. For now, I hope the Bad Batch wise up to teach Omega some defensive skills. First off: stranger danger. But if there\u2019s anything we know about the kid, this experience is burned into her brain.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Thoughts\"><\/span><b>Other Thoughts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p4\">Considering the explicit and implicit civilian body count of the chase sequence, I wonder if Omega and Hunter would be the sort to reel over that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
