The Bad Batch S2 Episode 2 BREAKDOWN CAPTAIN WILCO

as they crash land towards the ground of Serreno, the thrusters finally turn on at the last moment, providing them a somewhat safer landing as they communicate with Hunter and Wrecker who are escaping Dooku’s palace and heading into the city to hide. Omega and the boys are in the upper forest region of the planet. After crash landing, Tech breaks his leg and they hoist him outta there and up the cliff.

Captain Wilco, a captain of the forces during the mission on Serreno, with a uncoloured patch, or rather, a black one, is a hard as nails captain who wants proper confirmation that the thieves are dead or found.

Omega Echo and Tech hobble their way through the forest as they come across Romar, a survivor of the planet who survived the imperial takeover. He takes them to his shelter which is really the only shelter in the area, at Echos orders.

Hunter and Wrecker are watching the clones setting up a permiter as captain Wilco proves to be quite the intelligent leader, giving orders to his men. He would have been a good asset to the team had he not…well..yeah we can discuss that at the end of this breakdown.

Wrecker and Hunter come across some old Separatist tanks, if you guys remember these tanks from episode 1 during the war against the Gungans on Naboo, as well as many episodes of the Clone Wars, including the first one with Yoda.
They plan to power up these tanks and get out of there with sheer fire power.

Omega speaks with Romar, and he speaks of Dooku. He tells them that Dooku took from not just the world’s he conquered, but also his own people, as he points to himself. Once Dooku left the Jedi order after the death of Qui-Gon Jinn, he ended up turning Serenno into a part of the CIS.

Romar gives Omega a Kaleidoscope, as she looks in it she is amazed at all the colours and she exclaims there’s jewels in there. Romar tells her no, it’s just reflected glass. It’s meant to make you happy, which is worth more than any jewel. In a world that’s taken all the money from him and his fellow people, he knows how to be happy without much at all, whereas Dooku had all the money in the galaxy, and yet in his opinion, was a scummy greedy person.

Romar brings Tech a Serennian external hard drive essentialy, filled with the planet’s art, music, and memories of his people’s history. Tech vows to fix it.

Hunter and Wrecker try to power the separatist tanks but to no avail, they’ve been dead for far too long. So they grab a battery from one of the tanks, and the only way they knew which battery still had juice in it, is because of Hunter’s ability to feel electro magnetic energy, at least that’s my theory. We learned of his ability back in the final season of the clone wars when they teamed up with Anakin on anaxis. Wrecker hooks the battery pack up to the literal tank’s canon that he rips off and blasts their way out of there.

Omega sneaks off to the crashed freighter to grab some jewels from the war chest of Dooku. As the Clones start to approach them, cornering them in. Hunter and Wrecker get to the ship and head towards the rest of the crew to pick them up. Tech fights off the Clones cornering Echo and Omega trapped in the freight, as Omega drops all the jewels. Her hopes are to get the crew rich to buy their freedom from these risky jobs once Cid gets shut down, and because she over head Echo complaining about Omega ruining their lives. Echo assures her he didn’t mean it like that and they jump their way out of there as an LAAT gunship approaches to blast them, when Tech steps in and saves the day as he uses the gattling gun to shoot down the ship. Romar helps by pulling Omega and Echo up to safety with the rope, as the boys arrive in the ship to grab them. Romar throws the kaleidascope to her and says remember what I said. I think there’s more to that toy than meets the eye. It probably is all Jewels and will be the pay day they needed.

Captain Wilco speaks with Rampart, and he’s told that there were innacuracies in his report. Rampart informs him that the bad batch, clone force 99, was destroyed on Tipoca city on Kamino. Captain Wilco says he’s mistaken as he say two of them with his own eyes. Rampart tells him that he will falsify an official report because if he doesn’t, and notifies the empire that the bad batch are alive, it’ll look bad on Rampart for not confirming the kill and just writing it as if he succeeded in terminating them. Rampart is afraid of Tarkin, he says if he finds out then he’ll be at risk. Wilco won’t fake the report, so Rampart shoots him off the cliff.

I think this is huge. Once clones find out that Wilco was killed by Rampart, they could actually rebel against him. Order 66 is one thing, but treason against their own kind is what could set the Clones off, and possibly why Cody says to Crosshair in the trailers, that Clones are starting to disobey Order 66.
