so excited!

The Bad Batch, aside from being fantastic storytelling, also gives your more details as to why the Stormtroopers are so useless as a Force compared to the Clones that we’re use to.

Holden Hardman

Right, we normally don't put stuff off that long, but we've filmed the first 3 episodes all back to back already. We're in the middle of getting a rather large backlog of movies and a TV show (aside from Andor) all lined up for us to begin releasing once the baby is here. That way we can kind of go on a bit of leave, but have a lot of requested content already done.

We're planning in putting it on the poll for the next Patreon exclusive!

idk if this has been asked but is there any info on Bad Batch? It's a really cool bridge between Republic and empire, and the second season has especially tackled some really cool topics. Would be fun to see after rebels, since it has a few references to the show :)

Dawson

Still my best mate watched it watched it week to week and hated it. Then binged it all in one sitting and said "oh mate this is amazing". I imagine they'll watch it back to back but upload it 1 episode per, that would make sense

Quinten Shibusawa

I guess the only difference would be the first 3 episodes since those came out at once. Other than that it was all released weekly.

Darth Mornabin

So then you decided to do Andor in single episodes instead of arcs? Ok. I wonder how that will influence your opinion of the series as a whole afterwards …

Holden Hardman

Probably sometime next week for the first episode.

Quinten Shibusawa

When should we expect the Andor reaction to come out?

Vosru

I really think you guys should rewatch rogue one before starting Andor

Jonathan Ma

Saw Guerrera is one of the most tragic figures in all of Star Wars; he’s fought in wars for his whole life, to no real victory; he was SO CLOSE to figuring out the Death Star’s existence, and was involved in others search for it as well, but never actually got to reach the final conclusion His battle of ideology against Mon Mothma is one of the more fascinating angles to the OT era, and it’s a shame Rogue One never really got to expand on it enough. We are blessed to get him in Rebels, and to see this topic explored brilliantly and thoroughly in Andor

I'm with Jen on yummy Rebel-Kallus ^_~

One note on these reactions and it’s just something I notice since I’d love to hear their thoughts on more details when it comes to the SW universe. Holden and Jen never seem to highlight the actual significance of the events Lucasfilm is depicting and how they have a larger impact on the rebel alliance, history of the empire. Would love to hear their thoughts on that. I had this same issue with their reaction to the clone wars because they mostly focused on just the most basic level stuff and characters. These episodes are important to me because the creators are showing how we are VERY CLOSE to the battle of Scarif. Last time we saw Mon Mothma, they had the pivotal meeting at Dantooine. Now in this episode, the rebel alliance is mustering on Yavin IV. Saw still doesn’t have his breathing apparatus and robotic constructs. But he has a full head of hair. Krennic was mentioned. Jedha was mentioned. Death troopers are everywhere. These are all specific details that line up with rogue one and A New Hope. In any case? I’d like to see more discussion about stuff like this.

Star Wars rewatch after all the extra context would be great.

Dawson

Imagine you are a civilian post episode 3 you finally get to serve the Galaxy in a grand army and then some teenagers strole up and blow up you and your mates 🤣. Like are they the villains or just a group of lads doing there jobs supporting their families

Yeah doing andor an arc per episode would be best mainly to get passed the first 2 episodes 😂

Eric Cunningham

I would def like to see a rewatch of Episode II, III, and R1. CW and Rebels give so much more back story to them. Maybe rewatch them after Andor.

Jacob Ember

The ideas and ideologies that are lightly tackled and touched upon in this two-part episode are greatly expanded upon in 'Andor.' I'm so glad you guys have decided to start watching that show. It's some of the best written television out there at the moment.
