animation is amazing and its crazy to see the difference in quality between clone wars and this.
Animation is dogshit. I can't remember the original series well enough to know if it's better. It is better than rebels, but then again so was clone wars. They're all a step down from the cartoons I grew up on like Thundercats, Looney Tunes, and Transformers. An example, when hunter tossed the key to tech. It was so fucking awkward. They should have had him step across and hand the key over if that's the best toss they could do. Everything is awkward. They can't figure out how to have 2 characters in the same frame looking at each other. They always seem to be looking past each other.

Come to think of it, most of the awkwardness is probably when characters are interacting in the same frame.

Incredible episode. The use of music cues in this is absolutely top notch. This series had some bumps in the middle but the final three episodes are stacking up to be outstanding. Holy shit.

By far the best episode of the series. Part 2 should be a good one!

RIP Kamino. I suppose they shipped Nala Se and the other main cloners to Exegol...

Interesting detail about Omega's age. I had not considered the fact that she was the first 'mutant' clone given her apparent age compared to the others. They had accelerated aging whereas she does not.

Won't sugar coat it, the first part of this finale was stronger but this was a great finale. Tons of subtle dialogue along the way concerning Crosshair and how most of the Batch and Omega felt about him. Has to be by far the strongest first season of any animated series they have done. Looking forward to season 2 already.

At the end was that...
Wayland?

Big mountain facility? Seen in establishing shot. Check.
Subtropical environment? Also seen in establishing shot Check
Cloning facility? with Nala Se... Check

I think they just destroyed a major Star Wars lore planet and compensated us by giving us a new one.

The woman who greets Nala Se Brown hair, almond shaped brown eyes, serious goggles. Could that be a young Dr. Aphra?

I tried, I really did... but I fuckin hate cartoons. I think I got to episode 8 before I just had to admit that I was bored and not having any fun.

Im not big on them at all either. I havent watched Clone Wars or anything either. Bad Batch isnt bad but its definitely harder to get immersed in. Some of the characters are just so cheesy and cliche its cringy.

Aphra is an archeologist, not a medical doctor. She basically the SW Indiana Jones. But yeah, I agree with your guess on the location.

Scheduling-wise they should have released both of the last 2 episodes at once. Felt more like a goodbye to Kamino from the animators than part 2 of the season finale.

I really loved it, thought the visuals were stunning and the story telling was good. They didn't do any bullshit about Crosshair abandoning his beliefs and joining his family, they kept him super conflicted and interesting. I really, really, really appreciate that Omega is learning how to be a survivor through sheer grit and adversity instead of some magical bullshit "I'm a jedi now!" that has plagued star wars main shows/movies for years. Between this and Mandalorian I'm super happy at how Filoni seems to have a really good grasp of what being Lucas' successor means and building a believable world through small steps.

There's definitely a lot of filler and if the cartoon style is not for you, it is what it is. I don't think I'd want 5 of these kind of shows running all year round, and sadly that's probably whats gonna happen over the years as the quality goes down, but for now having 1-2 live action show and 1-2 cartoon a year is perfect, if they can keep it at this level.

Pretty sure they are putting up all the episodes at once for this one.

At least The Batch of Omega Fett will do better than her brother's series. Also some Warhammer 40k vibes at 0:37
