The Bad Batch: “Juggernaut,” “Into The Breach,” and “Flash Strike” (Season 3, Episodes 12–14)

Over this week’s episodes (“Juggernaut,” “Into The Breach,” and “Flash Strike,” S3 Ep. 12–14), the Batch calls in essentially every favor they have left. A Monster truck-style tank battle, a tautly executed stealth mission, and a rush through the jungle of Wayland leave our heroes set up for the endgame.

This week, we're recapping “Identity Crisis” and “Point of No Return” (S3, Ep. 10–11).

Episode 95: The Bad Batch — “The Summit” and “Plan 99” (Season 2, Episodes 15–16)

“The Summit” and “Plan 99” (The Bad Batch Season 2, Episodes 15–16) form the elegant, muted, devastating conclusion to the second season of the Bad Batch. It’s a good thing we’re moving through Star Wars chronologically and behind Disney’s release schedule 100% of the time, because if we didn’t know there was a Season 3 coming we might spontaneously combust.
