In this entry, we\u2019re charging into Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 15, a.k.a. the Season 1 Finale Part 1 (\u201cReturn to Kamino\u201d) and witnessing the dying gasp of The Clone Wars.<\/em><em>\u00a0So yes, there are spoilers here.<\/em>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
You may fire when ready. Grand Moff Tarkin<\/strong> delivers his five favorite words<\/a> to Admiral Rampart<\/strong>, and Tipoca City prepares for annihilation. Whatever glory or purpose the Kaminoan cloning facility once served is now over. With their Stormtroopers on the march, the Empire\u2019s need for a costly bottle-bred army has evaporated. Star Wars<\/em><\/strong>: The Bad Batch<\/em><\/strong> Episode 15<\/strong> concludes the first part of the Season 1 finale by incinerating the trash. It\u2019s just another day at work for the soldiers aboard the Star Destroyers, but for the Clone Force 99<\/strong> grunts below, it\u2019s their last scramble for survival.<\/p>\n
We have to wait until next week, with the ending of the first season of The Bad Batch<\/em>, to see how Hunter<\/strong> and his pals escape destruction, but what\u2019s clear today is that the Republic is long dead, and whatever honor they found during Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/em><\/strong> is buried alongside the previous Galactic government. All they have is each other. They can\u2019t afford to leave a Clone to the wind, even if it\u2019s a Clone who\u2019s hunted for their blood all season long.<\/p>\n
Crosshair<\/strong> reveals as much faith in his old Clone Force 99 co-workers as they do in him. Neither can quit the other. The Imperial sharpshooter drags Hunter in handcuffs to Kamino, activating his comm, knowing the others will come racing to his rescue. Having watched Crosshair command the death of civilians, we worry that he\u2019s itching to prove himself by killing his mates. But we don\u2019t know what\u2019s really going on in that killer\u2019s noggin.<\/p>\n
His proto-Death Troopers get the drop on Clone Force 99 easily. The secret tunnel that led them into the city was for naught. When brothers are concerned, they can\u2019t do anything but meet each other face-to-face. Sneaking ain\u2019t an option when it comes to family.<\/p>\n
And they\u2019re more connected than they think. Omega<\/strong>\u2018s underground passageway delivers Clone Force 99 to a previously unknown laboratory. Since Star Wars: The Bad Batch<\/em> Episode 1, we\u2019ve postulated on Omega\u2019s creation. The Bad Batch<\/em> Episode 15 \u2014 \u201cReturn to Kamino (Finale Part 1\u201d) \u2014 does not unfurl every detail. But we learn that she and the other Clone aberrations were deliberately manufactured.<\/p>\n
Hunter is the tracker. Tech<\/strong> is the smart one. Wrecker<\/strong> is the strong one. Crosshair is the marksman. These attributes were not accidents. Clone Force 99 is, in actuality, Experimental Unit 99. Their mutations were gifts, enhanced by Nala Se<\/a> in an effort to build a better soldier.<\/p>\n
In the lab, Omega slowly ekes out the information. Before the Bad Batch<\/em> Season 1 began, her time as Nala Se\u2019s assistant exposed her to several Kaminoan secrets. She\u2019s kept mum for quite some time, but this week\u2019s episode exposes her knowledge. What other dark secrets is she keeping? Does she know more about her own gifts than she has previously let on?<\/p>\n
The answers are not ready. Hunter needs rescuing. Crosshair calls.<\/p>\n
Pinned in their old training compound, Clone Force 99 pleads with Crosshair to call off his Death Trooper<\/strong> goons. Hunter attempts to explain the Imperial horrors they\u2019ve seen throughout this season. He tries to explain that Crosshair behaves antagonistically because of the inhibitor chip barking orders in his skull.<\/p>\n
Crosshair bursts Hunter\u2019s bubble. He had the inhibitor chip removed long ago. Crosshair\u2019s actions are his own. Just as Hunter resisted Order 66\u2019s directions, Crosshair leaned into them. Maybe you can blame the chip for that initial wave of Jedi deaths, but what the Clones did after rests with them.<\/p>\n
Hunter is shaken. He can\u2019t believe what he\u2019s hearing. Crosshair begs Clone Force 99 to join ranks and to prove his loyalty to them; he murders his Death Troopers. But he still believes the Empire is the winning side, and to oppose them is beyond foolish.<\/p>\n
While Crosshair may have the better aim, Hunter is quicker on the draw. He stuns Crosshair, and Wrecker throws his chum over his shoulder. As they make their getaway, Grand Moff Tarkin utters his five favorite words. Tipoca City\u2019s days are over.<\/p>\n
The Bad Batch<\/em> Episode 15 prepares for Kamino\u2019s destruction by giving us one last tour through the facility. We see various shots of laboratories, the birthing chambers, the training facility, and the mess hall. Tipoca City is desolate, without life.<\/p>\n
The ghost town imagery underscores the tremendous loss that\u2019s occurred throughout The Clone Wars<\/em> and The Bad Batch<\/em>. The Empire devours planets. They\u2019re not interested in who or what\u2019s on them. These landscapes are merely part of their collection. When they grow tired of them, they toss them away.<\/p>\n
Is reconciliation possible between Crosshair and his brothers? The inhibitor chip revelation cuts deep. They can no longer dismiss the horrendous acts Crosshair committed. But they can\u2019t leave him on Kimona to burn either. The Bad Batch<\/em> Episode 15 ends with Crosshair cradled in Clone Force 99\u2019s protection. They\u2019ll get him out of this scrape and worry about their familial status later.<\/p>\n
Lucasfilm and Disney+ just announced<\/a> that The Bad Batch<\/em> will be back for Season 2. That\u2019s great news<\/a> for fans clamoring for more\u2014bad news for those seeking a neat and tidy climax next week. One episode will not heal the wounds between Crosshair and Clone Force 99. And one episode won\u2019t stop the Empire\u2019s galactic sweep. The dark days are only beginning.<\/p>\n
What we can expect is a little help from their friends. Clone Force 99 is in a tight spot. Their destruction seems imminent, but they\u2019ve made several pals over The Bad Batch<\/em> Season 1. Captain Rex<\/strong> gets another name check this week. His return seems inevitable. And if Hunter can\u2019t accept an Imperial offer by Crosshair, maybe he can accept a Rebellion position from Rex.<\/p>\n
There are many unaccounted-for Clones. The Empire yanked them from Kamino, and they\u2019re destined for the incinerator. It\u2019s easy to imagine Clone Force 99 making them their mission, which could also be a mission Crosshair could accept. No Clone gets left behind.<\/p>\n\n
Star Wars: The Bad Batch<\/em> Episode 15 \u2013 Season 1 Finale Part 1 is now streaming on Disney+<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
