Nala Se (Gwendoline Yeo) is a scientist, so she may be of use. He’s absolutely right, because now that the Jedi are gone, why wouldn’t the newly established Empire wipe up any and all loose ends? The Kaminoans have played their part, so they can go and die now. I fear they will destroy us rather than allow this operation to continue.” “We have empowered them to our own detriment. “The Empire is not like the Republic,” he says. Prime Minister Lama Su (Bob Bergen) is in deep kriff.
The Kaminoans probably didn’t know about it, as they only find out in this episode that their Clone contract has been canceled by the Empire. Gregor lays all of the information out for the Batch, telling them (when they discover a non-Clone within the newly designed armor), “These are our replacements, if you can believe that.”Īccording to him, the Empire called in commandos to train these recruits and he was among them. It turns out the commando in question is Gregor, who, in terms of the timeline, was blown up on the planet Abafar in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 5 episode “Missing in Action.” We knew he survived that thanks to Star Wars Rebels, but this fills in the gap.Īs he says, “I got blown up once and survived.” He’s not alone in that, as Echo (also blown up and still around) is standing right there. One of the commandos here is the one Rex sent them after - he’s having none of this, so he tried to escape.
Their armor has been changed (getting closer to classic Stormtrooper armor) and the musical riffs on the base (courtesy of Kevin Kiner) lean on John Williams’ pre-"Imperial March" themes from Star Wars: A New Hope. Inside, Clone commandos are training Stormtroopers. There’s a hidden military base on Daro that would make a James Bond villain blush. They find the Clone in question, and a whole lot more. The Bad Batch (all members voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) and Omega (Michelle Ang) get swept up in all of this after Rex (also Dee Bradley Baker, he’s every Clone) comms them and asks them to check out a distress signal on the planet Daro. Clone debate has gone on in the rains of Kamino (and the Kaminoans have tried to stave off the inevitable), the mantle of war was being passed on to an entirely different planet.
The episode title is “War-Mantle,” which clues us in immediately as to what we’re dealing with: Tarkin (Stephen Stanton) talked about “Operation War-Mantle” with Vice Admiral Rampart (Noshir Dalal) earlier in the season.
