Summary
The Bad Batch attempt to rescue Crosshair and the other imprisoned clones.
In many senses this episode was anti-climactic.
My main issue with this episode is how it can’t stand on its own and exists almost only to prop up the final episode. Adding to that is the fact that a lot of the things that happen in this episode feel forced, it feels like plot contrivance after plot contrivance all to get the Batch to a specific point despite the fact that they aren’t behaving like they normally would do at any point along the way.
I quite like Saw Guerra as a character and think there is a lot to explore there with his ideology, as such I was happy to see him show up in this episode. However, his whole attitude towards the Batch and how he just happened to be there at the exact same time felt incredibly poorly set up and again to repeat the word of the day contrived.
Overall, a weaker episode made to set up what comes next without having enough to stand on its own.
3/5
Pros.
Returning faces
Hemlock and Tarkin
The things to come
Cons.
It feels contrived
The characters aren’t behaving like themselves
