We're really not talking enough about #BadBatch but i get it, it can be spoilery and we're still with abated breath waiting to see how this season turns out...
I watched “Into the Breach” (S03E13) of The Bad Batch last night. This show continues to be great, and I really enjoyed this episode! I was anxious and on the edge of my seat until the very end—and I’m excited for next week.
Only TWO WEEKS LEFT of this show! 😭 If you’ve been sleeping on it, it’s a great time to get into it so you’re caught up in time for the penultimate or final episode… I have a feeling it’s gonna be good.
In case you have completely missed this show or not been interested because of the obscure cast—I was absolutely skeptical before getting into it—here are some spoiler-free reasons you should give it a go: 🧵
• It’s a focused, character-driven story that simultaneously ties neatly into the entire cinematic timeline. Palpatine’s influence looms large over the galaxy without being overbearing, the main characters are ex-Republic troopers finding their way in the galaxy under the thumb of the newly formed Empire, and it’s actually naturally tying into a bit of the Mandoverse and sequel trilogy without it feeling forced or like a retcon.
• The score/soundtrack! Holy crap, Kevin Kiner and his kids, Sean and Deana Kiner have done an incredible job—this final season in particular has been constantly impressive to me. It has that classic Star Wars orchestral feel at times, but definitely feels evolved in a way similar to the Andor score: a bit more synth-y and eerie at times, sometimes almost… rock?? Idk, it is just great imho.
