The Bad Batch invade a battleship on Coruscant looking for the evidence needed to take Admiral Rampart down as the Defense Recruitment Bill is debated in the Senate.
While the Bad Batch run missions for Cid, the rest of the galaxy moves on from the fallout of the Clone Wars. On Coruscant, the Senate begins debating Admiral Rampart’s Defense Recruitment Bill, which if passed would begin phasing out the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic and replacing them with a conscript army. Hanging over all of this is the news that a storm had destroyed the cloning facilities on Kamino. Not everyone is ready to give in and support the creation of a new Imperial army though. Senator Chuchi wants to see to the well being of the clones first.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The tone of these two episodes and how they compare to The Clone Wars and other Star Wars content,
- Admiral Rampart’s Defense Recruitment Bill and how it would replace clones with stormtroopers,
- The idea of human rights for the clone army of the Republic,
- Senator Riyo Chuchi’s return and how she champions the cause of the clones,
- The Bad Batch’s infiltration of Rampart’s ship, and
- The Emperor’s appearance and resolution of the episode.
