#BadBatch #EasterEggs #Finale

I got this. [high five]. Episode 15 is called the summit, and I think it has this title for a few reasons. One, it refers to the literal summit of imperial leaders. Two, it’s about how the bad batch have to infiltrate the summit of a mountain on Eiradu. But also, this is kind of the bad batch at their summit as a family. They’ve never been closer since Crosshair left, and now they never will be.

But before we get to the rough stuff, we open on Pabu, where the batch is going through the files that echo brought them. This is how they find out that Hemlock is going to a conference on Eeriadu, that is the home planet of Wilhelm Tarkin. And I gotta tell you, I’ve been reading that name for years, and it’s great to finally know how to pronounce it. I was very excited to finally see this planet after it was featured so heavily in the novel tarkin and a few issues of the recent Star Wars run.

This planet is filled with savage creatures, and Tarkin's people are kind of like spartans. They value the hunt. Every child is sent into the wilderness to kill one of these beats to become a man. Tarkin even sent his protege, Zahra, through this same experience to prove herself to him.

Their plan is to attach a homing beacon to Hemlock’s shuttle, similar to what the empire did to the millennium falcon in a new home [you're sure homing beacon..]

But the hunter has doubts about whether it's worth saving crosshair [clip]. One thing the show has done pretty well this season is showing a character slowly change their mindset over several episodes. Hunter has been reluctant to fight for a long time. He noted the big score to create a home for omega episode 1, and now he’s tempted to let crosshair die and stay on Pabu.

Ironically, it;s tech who has the softer heart [he’s our brother, we do this]. Tech has always had a hard time processing his emotions, like he and omega discussed [clip]. But he has always been loyal to his squad, because he sees family in binary terms. You either are family, or you are not.

And then…Phee gets a little flirty-flirt with Tech? [clip]. I mena, I ship it. Oh, wait. [tech falling, arms wide open]. To be honest, I had a feeling tech was going to die this season. Any time you start to spend a lot of time with a charter, it usually means they’re gonna bite it. And this season has been great for building up tech. He was a fun character in the episode faster, his bond with omega made him open up emotionally–and they also wrote echo off the show, so we no longer had a guy with similar abilities.

Above eriadu, venator class star destroyers are in the atmosphere, escorting V wing starfighters. Nwo these are still the same ships that the republic used in the clone wars. The empire hasn;t replaced them yet, because–as we're about os ee-0 they're still working out how to fund all of the emperor’s bold new initiatives.

Dug: which is silly, because money is an inherently fictional concept , and they live in a totalitarian state.

Sure Doug, that's a good point. But everyone I want to remind you that since money is inherently a concept that does not exist, why not use some of your money to shop at the screencrush merch store, at shop zero edition dot com.

Doug: not this again.

We have many high quality tees, including our brand new dog the foundling shirt, and this sweet someone palpatine returned a parody shirt.
