The Bad Batch Episode 3 "Replacements" Synopsis

Series Created by:  Jennifer Corbett, Dave Filoni

Episode Written by: Matt Michnovetz

Episode Directed By: Nathaniel Villanueva

In their escape from the new Empire on Saleucami the Bad Batch’s ship took heavy damage. With Tech unwilling to help Echo complete repairs, their ship, The Havoc Marauder, crash lands on a seemingly desolate planet.

When a key capacitor gets stolen by an energy loving native Ordo Moon Dragon, Hunter has to retrieve it before they can take off. With Wrecker out of action after a knock on the head Omega volunteers to go along on the mission. After Hunter is knocked unconscious by the Moon Dragon, Omega steps up and retrieves the stolen part, allowing the Batch to get off the world. While they were away Wrecker set up a room for Omega to make her feel at home and welcome her to the team.

Meanwhile on Kamino, Governor Tarkin wants to test a new group of top conscripted recruits brought to him by Vice Admiral Rampart. With former Batch member Crosshair further reprogrammed by the Kaminoins as their leader, Tarkin sends them to complete the mission hunter refused. They are to wipe out Saw Garrera and his army on Onderon.

When the new team arrives, they find a small group of Garrera’s troops evacuating the planet. Crosshair orders them to execute those that are left but when one of the new recruits refuses he’s killed by Crosshair. The rest of the team are told “A good soldier follows orders” and they complete the mission.

As a reward for the performance of this Clone led elite squad, Commander Rampart is promoted to Admiral.
