The premise of the show was a group of Vietnam veterans who were framed for a crime, so they go around committing good deeds for hire, using their specialty skills for the betterment of downtrodden peoples around America. Doug: Wow, this show is the A-team. Yes. And episodes like this show the kind of good the Bad batch can do around the galaxy. Right now the team is still having a kind of identity crisis. They don’t like the Empire, but they're not exactly fighting against it. Their attitude is more like Luke in A New Hope [clip]. Now I do think they will eventually get drawn into the galactic conflict when it involves their clone brothers. They still care about the clones that serve under the empire–notice they always use the stun setting on their b;asters when they fight other clones. But this episode gave us an indication that Bad Batch may start to do good simply for the sake of doing it. [omega clip] Here they helped a group of children living under financial slavery to a Fagin type character in a mine. Doug: What’s a Fagin. Fagin’s a character in Oliver Twist who basically controlled a group of street orphans that were a network of pickpockets across London. [clip from Oliver!]. Doug: Oh like in Oliver and company. [clip of a song] Exactly. So, back to this episode. The bad batch is working to repair their speeder, which has these roll bars on top, like a dune buggy–very cool design detail. I gotta tell you, speeder bikes are my favorite Star Wars vehicle, and I think this is the first of these models we’ve ever seen. If I’m wrong, let me know in the comments. So the wrecker is acting like a bog baby [I’m hungry]. Doug: yeah that was annoying]. Nah, at least he has a personality. He’s my favorite member of the team. And this line [wasting our time]. I mean, Filoni is such a referential star wars geek he had to have been making a nod to this [Luke, ESB, wasting our time]. Then One realizes that they have a way to find the ship [track gonk]. And this is one thing that Omega is great for on this team. She is the only person who would have even thought of gonky, beca use she’s developed an emotional connection to the power droid. To everyone else it’s just a droid that deosn;t work. Remember, in the past wreckers used it for curling–the droid was just hardware. But omega bonded with it, gave him a name, and said she didn;t mind that he was defective [we’re all defective]. And now, because of Omega, everyone has come to feel affection for it [7:00, beat up droid, not to us]. Then we meet their episode’s person in need, a thief named Benny. He’s a wage slave to an ipsum miner named Mako. Late Benny gives us some cool backstory on this place [run by techno union]. And this is the kind of tasty detail that I love in my Star Wars, because it connects to the clone wars, the mandalorian, and the sequel trilogy, and this [somehow Palpatine..]. Dogum Oh, how so? So, groups in Star wars are always organized into guilds, kind of like in medieval society. Cal Kestis in Fallen order works for the scraper guild, for instance. And we all know the bounty hunter guild [pay guild rates, mando]. These are essentially space unions. But there are also space conglomerates. For instance the trade federation are like space teamsters, controlling shipping on hyperspace lanes. And the techno union are a bunch of tech and mining companies that basically formed a cartel. They were one of the founders of the separatist movement, but also somehow stayed neutral in the clone wars.
