The Bad Batch Episode 5 Breakdown THE ANCIENT ZEFFO

the heart of the mountain is said to be an ancient cyrstal which is the key to an ancient power. Many in the chat thought of a Kyber crystal, but we need to remember this is before the Jedi, unless kybers had another use equally as valuable. Perhaps just as worship, who knows. Now of course it didn’t turn out to be a kyber in the end.

They make their way through the boobie trapped mountain, get separated, and Omega puts the compass in the wall and opens a new path for them. Echo, Tech and Wrecker make their own way through the tunnels as they all eventually band back together.

They all reconnect and come to a large door, opening it, they make their way through and to the crystal.
which is a rock that looks just like it’s from fifth element, as they take it, the ground shakes and the lights turn on. These lights are identical to the ones on Zeffo in Jedi Fallen Order. Zeffo is a planet covered in snow and ice, with ancient ruins and tombs dotting the landscape. It is home to the Zeffo species, a species of sentient beings with elongated heads and long, thin limbs. They were known for their architectural and engineering skills, and were responsible for building the tombs and ruins found on the planet. The Zeffo civilization was ancient and had collapsed long before the events of the game, leaving behind only their ruins and artifacts.
The planet also has a strong connection to the force, which drew the attention of the Jedi Order. The Jedi sent a team of researchers to study the planet and its ancient ruins, but they were all killed by the local wildlife.

The giant mech beast is activated after so many years and it’s walking with its four legs as it spits plasma on the land. Could it very well be the Zeffonians who made this massive mech beast?

They decide to the put the treasure back where they found it, which was the key. As this recurring small zillo beast type of creature keeps trying to eat them. It’s impervious to blaster fire, which reminds me a lot of the zillo beast, but of course it’s not. The mech beast is about to blow up their ship, as the crew put the key back in the slot, melting it, where the mech beast ends up imploding and falling over.

They walk back to the ship and get out of there.

So my question is will the Empire learn about this machine? Will they replicate it with some weaponry? Will they sense it via their electromagnetic sensors, perhaps? Much like Hunter did with this beast as it was powering up, before anyone else knew, kind of like a spidey-sense.

this episode was ok, it had a fun adventure feel to it but other than that nothing much happened. I was hoping for more exploration of the mech beast as it’s literally an ancient weapon that predates the Jedi which as now been activated and then destroyed. My main question is who built this machine? Was it the Rakatans? An ancient powerful and technologically advanced species that fought against the first force users, the J’edaiii? The Rakatans are an alien species that appear in the Star Wars expanded universe. They are an ancient and technologically advanced species that were one of the first to discover and harness the power of the Force. They were known for their Infinite Empire, which was a powerful civilization that existed around 30,000 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and controlled much of the galaxy.
The Rakatans were skilled in the use of the Force and were able to create advanced technology such as the Star Forge, a massive space station that could create starships and droids. They also built the Hyperspace gateways that allowed them to travel through the galaxy quickly and easily.
Or could it be the Zeffo people from Fallen Order?
