The Bad Batch: War-Mantle [1x14] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review

Sweet, thanks!

A small detail: there were a few "special forces" or elite designations in the Clone Army of the republic: ARC troopers like Rex, Fives or Echo were usually clone troopers who served with particular distinction, and were made ARC troopers in recognition (and I imagine got additional training afterwards), but they usually served in units with regular troopers, possibly in command roles or skilled specialists. The Clone Commandos on the other hand, like Gregor or the ones that appear in this episode, were specifically created and trained from the start to be special forces, with their own special armor and their characteristic helmets. I believe they were first created for the videogame "Star Wars: Clone Commandos", a sort of tactical shooter where you play as a squad of Clone Commandos, I think during the first battle of Geonosis (haven't played it yet, don't know if it's any good, but of course, it would be a Legends game, just like KOTOR, no longer canon).

Good to know for the animated stuff, I know Rebels has quite a few two-parters within.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, totally! And yeah Hunter's fall was BRUTAL. Definitely some strong plot armor helping him there.

This one was AWSOME! I love that we actually get to see an in between trooper from Clone-Storm. And GREGOR!!! He lives! Awesome! Gregor did sound different in Cline Wars, and I’m 99% sure that it’s just because he exploded so now he acts a bit goofy with a higher pitched tone. Also typically with the SW Animated shows the first few episodes and last few episodes of each season are often arcs that can be watched in one group like a LOT of Clone Wars. Or The beginning to Rebels and end of Bad Batch Season 1.

Gregor is alive ! Yeah for that but indeed his voice and his overall demeanor is different, like someone who had his brain affected by a traumatic event. That is another clone who is also deciding to break up from the empire after order 66, continuing that story threat. Good episode, looking forward to your reaction for the 2 part finale.

This episode came as shock to me for sure, and yeah you’re not alone with the whole Gregor voice confusion, he sounded like a regular clone on the droid arc but like you said, the effects of that explosion and war as a whole definitely would’ve changed him. Also when watching this for the first time i audibly gasped when hunter fell because plot armour aside, no one is getting out of that fall without some serious broken bones lol A fantastic episode in my opinion, can’t wait for the finale reaction! And yes that was me who suggested the 2 episodes back to back thing (:
