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

It’s Bad Batch Season 2 finale time. Now entering the first stage of grief (denial).

“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.

In our recap, we talk about how the Bad Batch storytelling is the sophisticated older cousin to The Clone Wars. We talk through character arcs from Season 1 to Season 2—covering Cid, Tarkin, Saw Gerrera, Tech, and Emerie. We deliver some odes to a fallen friend. And we come to an agreement: No body, no crime.

Grab your lucky dice and start your engines, because next week, we finally get to recap the slickest, speediest Star Wars movie of all time: Solo!
