Star Wars: The Bad Batch

Great, but imperfect. But truly, NO Star Wars project is perfect, so who cares?!

The great: I thought it was beyond foolish that Omega went back to save AZ, but I like that Crosshairs saved them both. Good pay-off for her saving his life earlier, especially because she didn't have to do it.

The imperfect: It's too cute by half the landing pad the Marauder is on is COINCIDENTALLY the only thing on the planet that wasn't sunken or destroyed. Sure, Jan.

In the middle: I am very glad Crosshairs did not make peace and join the Bad Batch at the end of the episode. Because if they had done that we'd be looking at an upcoming betrayal next season. He'd definitely be a mole for the Empire, and that would be the only reason he'd rejoin. And I'd find that utterly tiresome. Good for the show for not going there (at least not yet). The things Crosshairs has been saying would not ever pass the lips of a person who could possibly be redeemed. He's a sociopathic fascist and the Bad Batch is truly better off without him.

So I liked it. A lot. And parts of it were dumb. And I still liked it. A lot. Sue me. ****1/2.
