#CAPTAIN REX BAD BATCH SERIES#
This is telling because the Rebellion is technically called “The Alliance to Restore the Republic.” (That’s the actual name of the organization.)īut, as demonstrated in the series Rebels, the coordination of this effort is a little scattershot, even five years before the events of A New Hope. Toward the end of “Battle Scars,” Rex makes it clear that he and others are still fighting for the Republic, even though it doesn’t exist anymore. After digging the graves of the other clones they fought with during the Seige of Mandalore, Rex and Ahsoka parted ways for a while.īut is Rex still in touch with Ahsoka during the events of The Bad Batch? And more importantly, is he a founding member of the Rebellion? Rex still believes in the Republic If you’re wondering where Ahsoka is at this point in the timeline, that question was actually answered way back in the 2016 novel Ahsoka by E.K.
In a small Easter egg, we actually glimpse this Republic-era Y-wing parked next to the Batch’s shuttle. Turns out the secret hologram person in Episode 6 was Rex - not Bail Organa or Ahsoka.Ĭhronologically, Rex was last seen stealing a Y-wing with Ahsoka Tano in The Clone Wars finale. They’re helped along with this process by the sudden reappearance of Captain Rex, everyone’s favorite clone from The Clone Wars. “Battle Scars” mostly focuses on the Batch getting their inhibitor chips removed so they don’t turn all murder-y with latent Order 66 action.
Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Bad Batch, Episode 7, “Battle Scars.” But, the question is, what happened in between The Bad Batch and Rebels? It looks like a certain Clone Wars hero was also a behind-the-scenes proto-Rebel. In the latest episode of The Bad Batch - “Battle Scars” - Star Wars history gets another slight revision. Seems pretty clear, right? Bail Organa and Mon Mothma started the Rebellion? Except, maybe not exactly. In a scene called “Seeds of Rebellion”, Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), tells Padmé Amidala that she and Bail Organa are trying to form an “alliance in the senate” to stop Palpatine from gaining too much power. Like I said, the poncho is mostly good, but I would recommend keeping the hood folded down.Who founded the Rebellion against the Empire? Around 2006, a deleted scene from Revenge of the Sith would have seemingly answered this question neatly and made you the ruler of your local bar trivia night. Not matter how good they are, hoods never look realistic, and the out of scale folds in the material are always distracting. I am not a soft goods supporter, and this is the primary reason why. The hood is pretty weak in terms of the shape and ability to function naturally. I am not sure why you would want to remove it as you can get the base Rex figure via several other releases. I am sure you COULD remove it, but I did not try very hard due to fear of damaging it, or not being able to get it back on. It is form-fitting, so I don’t think it is made to come off. This is mostly nice – it has some solid details and is made of a quality material, much more so than, say the Mace Windu and Obi-Wan cloaks. These ponchos are in high fashion in a galaxy far, far away.
#CAPTAIN REX BAD BATCH UPDATE#
The most obvious update to this figure is the soft goods poncho, something the Star Wars universe has gotten a lot of mileage out of the past few years. I sure do hope that changes because when this line clicks, it is really good. They are so few and far between it is hard to keep the positive anticipation up. Don’t get me wrong, the new figures are GREAT, but that is what makes it even more difficult. How can Star Wars be boring? Well, they have somehow made it so, and it makes me sad.
Of course I want new figures, and I am usually a pretty patient person, but: Star Wars figures are boring me, and that is shocking to say. I get it, SWB is not built on reuse like, say – Marvel Legends, so reissues are part of the game, but holy smokes those are far outweighing anything new as of late. So many card variations, Credit Collection repaints, and Carbonizations of existing figures do not have me excited in the least. Aside from the aforementioned shipping delays (and I’m not sure if Tech is EVER gonna join his team), the intermittent announcements for most of the new product have fallen completely flat with me. I am in a weird place with the Black Series right now.
