Episode 84: The Bad Batch: “Common Ground” and “Devil’s Deal”

The Bad Batch becomes the Syndulla Show in mid-to-late S1 and that is fantastic and we are fangirling so hard.

“Common Ground” and “Devil’s Deal” (The Bd Batch Season 1, Episodes 10–11) are mirror images of each other, each giving us a front row seat to the Empire taking over the galaxy. But coups, curfews, military occupation, civilian disarmament, and forcible manipulation of political figures all take a backseat to the real stars of the show: Cham, Eleni, and Hera Syndulla (!!!). Also, Chopper. Also, Omega. Also, Cid. Also, everyone in this show is the best and we love them so. freaking. much.

Join us next week for more Syndulla stanning as we recap “Rescue on Ryloth” and “Infested” (The Bad Batch Season 1, Episodes 12–13). After that, there are only two more podcast episodes before we hit Season 2!
