![]() ![]() To use that as a backdrop for these personal stories is a very bold, creative and ambitious palette to paint from. Then going back, he shows how democracy grows old, corrupt and falls apart, then how autocracy grows out of that. ![]() That's part of what was brilliant about George Lucas, where he started with the basic idea of fighting back against tyranny in the original trilogy. If not, it's fine to eliminate you and he'll send everything after you. If you're a cog and serving that, then you may have a little place in the larger scheme, but that's it. Everyone is a cog - a tool to help Palpatine consolidate his power. Lucasfilmīaker: When an authoritarian or an autocracy takes power and consolidates the narrative, it attempts to wipe out history, and to rewrite it. The clones are just a cog in Emperor Palpatine's plans. And that definitely is highlighted a lot in season 2. It's different for Echo, who is a reg and feels a bit more connected to what's happening with the clones. And that's how they treat their military.įor the Bad Batch, who didn't fit in really anywhere, I think they're a little more distant with it. They're not allowed to have variations or any color in their uniform, and it's back to being your CT number or your CC number. The Jedi accepted that and even encouraged it, whereas the Empire is the complete opposite. They were given clone numbers, but often they were encouraged to have individuality - like Rex, Cody and Echo all had names. Would you agree with that?Ĭorbett: I think it goes into how the Republic treated the clone troopers in the Clone Wars. It feels like the clones might be a comment on an indifferent authority as power is consolidated, compassion gives way to selfishness, and soldiers are increasingly viewed as tools to be discarded. It causes Omega and her brothers to evaluate whether they're doing the right thing by bringing her on this mercenaries' journey. Being able to meet other youngsters shows her that other children have this more innocent existence. Omega's encounters with children are important because she's never really experienced childhood. In Phee, she sees an example of a pirate that's super successful, answers to no one and has a cavalier life that suits her.Īnd it's not meeting mentor figures. But her journey is about figuring out what really matters, what are the truly important things in life. When we pick up with her in season 2, she's very much attuned to this life of mercenary and bounty hunter. Doing so showed her the wonders of the universe. LucasfilmĪng: When we first met Omega in season 1, she's never left Kamino. Omega is exposed to new influences as she discovers her place in the galaxy. We wanted to play the reality of that even though it's an animated show, we wanted to really get into the mindset of these characters. It's always great when we could have the camera on Hunter, who's not sure he likes the way this kid's attitude is going. ![]() There are a couple of instances where you see how Phee rubs off on Omega. One of our new favorite characters is Phee Genoa, played by Wanda Sykes - she's such a fun addition. We wanted to show her learning new things and training, even if it feels like like homework - bummer, homework - that ends up helping out in a mission or dangerous situation. Rau: All of her dads in the Bad Batch affect her greatly. Omega hangs out with a nice variety of mentor figures in season 2. I think fans are going to go nuts for it. his journey is really compelling and heartbreaking. So when I see it, it feels fresh and the Crosshair stuff could be my new favorite Bad Batch arc because of what he has to endure. Crosshair goes on an intense ride in the second season.
