This contains spoilers from the series, you are advised. With the season finale of The Bad Batch, i will return and analyze some theories that i made back in May. The previous post will be down below.

1)Origin of the Deathtroopers: Crosshair deciding to stay and not leaving with the batch made me wonder about how the empire will treat him afterwards, he betrayed and killed his squad of elite troopers, so it will not be a welcome one. Still, the deathtrooper project could happen on one of the future seasons.

2)Gideon and the darktroopers: The future of the clones (regs) is uncertain, they could just be put on the front lines to be killed off easily, be relocated to the 501st and remained the only legion of pure clones just like legends, or they could be used to create the phase 0 of darktroopers. The facility that we see at the end reminds me of dr pershing and the empire could have a big plan there.

3)SCAR Squadron: I was fully wrong that the batch were gonna become SCAR Squadron, but that doesnt mean that we could see the start of this squad. In one of the episodes, Rampart and Tarkin really like the capabilities of the batch, even talking about how good could be to have a loyal squad with the abilities of the batch. SCAR Squadron could be created to counter them.

4)More imperial officers appereances: We got some cool and short imperials appereances that will play roles in uncoming shows and stories. I still believe that Kallus will make an appereance later in the show in regards of the Lasat slaughter. With Thrawn i get some vives in regards of the instalation at the end, and how it could connect to the EU Thrawn trilogy.

5)Change of armor: Glad that at least i was right in something (thats why Dave is great, you dont know what to expect from him). Loved to see the Ralph concept art of the stormtrooper being used in the series. Also, the human troops being trained by clone commandos makes me think that maybe these ones are for Darth Vader, as he always chose the best troopers in the entire army, making people like Mara Jade angry about this decision. Scorch appereance was a great nod to Republic Commando and can't wait to see Delta Squad again.

6)Clone rebellion: We got some tease with Howser. His emotional speech made clones to think about the real purpouse and how wrong the empire is in their ways. It could still happen, but not how i expected it. Still, watching Tipoca City being destroyed was sad and it makes more impactul the events of Episode 2 and the Clone Wars arcs on Kamino.

What are your thoughts on the 1st season? I kinda want to make a video reviewing the full series.What are your thoughts on the 1st season? I kinda want to make a video reviewing the full series.
