The opening of \u201cCommon Ground\u201d prepares the audience for the drastic shift in <strong>\u201cDevil\u2019s Deal\u201d<\/strong> (directed by <strong>Steward Lee<\/strong> and written by <strong>Tamara Becher-Wilkinson<\/strong>) by opening on a similar agitated civilian crowd shot but then fully committing to someone else\u2019s story, namely the story of the influential Twi\u2019lek Syndulla family on the Twi\u2019lek homeworld of Ryloth. It also serves to bridge events and character growths between <em>Clone Wars<\/em> and the Original Trilogy-era <em>Rebels.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post -->A Twi\u2019lek crowd protests the Imperial presence on Ryloth against Twi\u2019lek Senator Orn Free Taa (<strong>Phil Lamarr<\/strong>) promise of jobs and prosperity. As a revolutionary who fought the Separatists occupation, the highly respected Cham Syndulla (<strong>Robin Atkin Downes<\/strong>) encourages the Twi\u2019leks to support the Empire\u2019s vision of peace. But his second-in-command Gobi <strong>(Corey Burton<\/strong>) is suspicious of the Imperial\u2019s mandate for the Twi\u2019lek population to lay down their weapons. Behind Cham\u2019s back, Gobi has the Syndulla daughter, Hera (<strong>Vanessa Marshall<\/strong>, reprising her <em>Rebels<\/em> role with a convincing kid voice) to spy on a new Imperial refinery. She is caught and clone Captain Howzer (Baker) lets her off with a warning.<\/p>\n<p>We observe adult Twi\u2019leks leaders debating \u201cpeace\u201d or the illusion of it as Vice Admiral Rampart (<strong>Noshir Dalal<\/strong>) preaches about working for the natives\u2019 best interest (yeah, right). Back in \u201cLiberty on Ryloth\u201d in <em>Clone Wars<\/em>, Cham voiced skepticism at the possibility of Republic occupation if they don\u2019t clear out Ryloth after the Separatist defeat. But he now believes that it\u2019s worth complying with the Republic-turned-Empire to ensure no more war. Gobi points out that the Imperials are siphoning the Twi\u2019lek\u2019s agency in running their own planet under the guise of offering job creation, prosperity, and peace. After clocking in the gunnery at the Imperial refinery, Cham\u2019s wife Eleni (<strong>Ferelith Young<\/strong>) grills her husband, \u201cIf the Empire\u2019s version of peace is not one we can accept, then what?\u201d She harbors her own league of informants to keep tabs on the Empire\u2019s actions. These familial interplays are fertile ground that could sustain more running time. (Cham and Eleni\u2019s marriage echoes the dynamic between Imanuel and Venisa Doza in the Sequel Trilogy-Era <em>Star Wars Resistance<\/em><em>, <\/em>though short of the intriguing edge that the Dozas\u2019 marriage was implied to have been wounded by their disagreements in confronting galactic injustice.)<\/p>\n<p>Nebulous, though, are young Hera\u2019s motivation for opposing the Imperials as much as Marshall\u2019s sincere performance anchors Hera with an innate spunk of a dreamer who has stared at the skies since childhood. We aren\u2019t granted personal specifics about Hera\u2019s disgruntlement with Imperials other than observing that \u201cpeople don\u2019t seem h<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>y\u201d and her deference to Gobi. It\u2019s dodgy, she joins her uncle\u2019s supply run without knowing that the transaction involved weaponry for the cause. As a result of these underdevelopments, it negates the interesting contradiction of a girl who would fight for her planet as she pines to fly away.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-682073\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-1-700x296.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-1-700x296.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-1-360x152.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-1-768x325.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Batch_in_the_Background\"><\/span>The Batch in the Background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Focusing on a set of characters who appeared in <em>Clone Wars <\/em>and <em>Rebels <\/em>comes off as the series\u2019 hit-or-miss habits of ushering familiar franchise faces into the Bad Batch\u2019s story. But its creative intentions are evident. Relegating the Batchers into a short screen time in a supporting role as mercenaries mundanely performing a transaction fleshes out their role in the margins of the galactic war more effectively than in the last episode. When Hera is given downtime to chat with Omega (<strong>Michelle Ang<\/strong>), they display curiosity for each other\u2019s respective stories since they rarely have a window to see other modes of being, although the two girls don\u2019t have the fuller picture of the other\u2019s struggles. \u201cI thought you were in trouble, isn\u2019t that why we\u2019re here?\u201d Omega remarks. They part ways and go back to their respective stories.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 -->\u201cDevil\u2019s Deal\u201d also subtly encourages questions about the agency of clones under the brain chip and the cognitive reach of said brain chip after the implications the obedience brain chip influenced reg clones to commit atrocities on civilians after Order 66. While serving under the Empire, Captain Howzer is the first reg clone soldier, who\u2019s not our familiar Rex, in the <em>Bad Batch<\/em> to be humanized with an unaggressive demeanor, belief in the Empire\u2019s good intentions for Ryloth, and ability to act on a (limited) ability to protect Cham Syndulla from the Empire\u2019s wrath. We don\u2019t know yet how he acted under his Order 66 command and he\u2019s not pegged as an outward aggressor, although his complicity in the Imperial oppression of the Twi\u2019lek people and attempts to bridge the discord between the Syndullas and the Imperials bear the promises of nuances.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the Empire gets what they want. Rampart arranges for Crosshair to assassinate Orn Free Taa and frame the Syndullas. Concluding on a cliffhanger with Hera sent away from the arrest of her parents with Howzer on her trail, \u201cDevil\u2019s Deal\u201d is an obvious first part of an arc. Despite its shortcomings, it conducts an engaging watch and plants the seeds of conflict in fertile ground.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-682072\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-2-700x296.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-2-700x296.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-2-360x152.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-2-768x325.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/star-wars-the-bad-batch-devils-deal-2.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Thoughts\"><\/span>Other Thoughts:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If <em>The Bad Batch <\/em>intends to kill off Hera\u2019s mother to align with the continuity of \u201cHomecoming\u201d in <em>Rebels<\/em>, I\u2019m not so keen on the idea because it sounds too easy.
