Star Wars the Bad Batch Season 1 Episode 6, DECOMMISSIONED has finally released on disney+, and with it we were left on a massive cliffhanger, hinting at the possible return of someone massive. The episode has quite a few little connections to the star wars films, books, comics and games which could give us some hints to the future..

Trace and Raffa are back, along with R7-A7, Ahsoka’s droid! Who was in the hologram at the end of Episode 6 of the Bad Batch!? The action begins with Echo Giving Omega some lessons on how to use her brand new energy bow, which she stole from the Zygerian slavers last episode. She’s not having the best time shooting, and the two loudmouths behind her aren’t helping. These two were actually here at Cid’s last episode, and they’re actually the two prisoners which heeled Raffa overpower the Pykes, back in the Clone wars season 7 Martez Sisters arc. Definitely cool to see these guys back.

Following this, Cid practically forces the Bad Batch to take a mission on Corellia, in order to secure a tactical droid. Corellia is of course the home world of Han Solo, and we got an awesome look at it in Solo: A star Wars story. On top of that, you’ll probably remember tactical droids from the Clone Wars and Star Wars rebels. Tactical droids were far superior in both intelligence and communication than standard B-1 battle droids, and were often deployed to battlefields throughout the Clone Wars to lead separatist forces, where organic leaders were not available. In order to sneak into Corellia without clearance, the Batch use their tries and true tactic of attaching to a class four container ship. This ship was seen in Star Wars rebels and was heavily used by the Empire.

As the group manage to sneak into one of the factories on the surface of the planet, thousands of B-1 and B-2 battle droids can be seen getting melted down to scorching molten metal. ‘This follows the order Palpatine gave to Darth Vader to shut down all of the droid armies from Mustafar, as well as his backstabbing of the separatist council, leading to the destruction of all droids. Although we’ve heard about the fate of the separatist battle droids many times through the books, reference books and comics, this is one of the first major looks we get at it on the big screen.
