After discovering a compass Omega (Michelle Ang) found in a junk yard might be a map to treasure, she and Phee (Wanda Sykes) convince the Bad Batch to go in search of whatever might at the end of the map. “Entombed” offers the expected moments of the Bad Batch working their way through the quest from finding the hidden tomb, to deciphering riddles, to avoiding boobytraps, and eventually reaching their prize. “Entombed” is one of those episodes that will work find for viewers as long as they don’t start asking some rather obvious questions (particularly in what happens after the twist).

• Title: Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Faster

I’m all for one-off episodes of The Bad Batch. Saying that, they aren’t all going to be winners. “Faster” isn’t a bad episode, but there’s not much more to it than a racing episode as Omega (Michelle Ang), Tech (Dee Bradley Baker), and Wrecker (Baker) head off with Cid (Rhea Perlman) to the races where they are forced to get her out of a tough jam when she makes a bet with an old rival she can’t pay. The episode does allow Tech to get a little more time, becoming the hero of the episode by flying the winning speeder.

• IMDb: link

Feeling more like an episode of The Clone Wars than The Bad Batch, we’re given an episode to catch-up on Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) who is sent on a mission with Cody (Baker) and other Clones for the Empire needing to squash a Separtist uprising on Desix. Along with offering a check-in with the black sheep of the Bad Batch, the episode also offers an example of how the Empire put the Clones to work after taking power and how similar their missions were… with a few key differences. It’s a fine episode that just feels out of place as the season is still trying to setting the status quo for characters not even referred to here. The episode ends with Cody apparently deserting after being unable to execute an order, but the more effective outcome would have the Empire killing him offering another lesson to Crosshair of their brutality.
