Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 6 contradicts an R2-D2 story Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In episode 6 with the title “Decommissioned”, Clone Force 99 is in the Corellian system and works another mercenary job for the Trandoshan bar owner and underworld figure Cid. That is where they come across Clone wars The Season 7 Martez sisters looking for the same price – an old Separatist tactical droid headed for decommissioning and dismantling.
After venturing deep into the decommissioning facility, the Bad Batch and Martez sisters are overwhelmed by an advancing train of police droids, more than they could handle on their own. In a torrent of brilliance, tech, trace. and Rafa hacks and reprograms the tactical droid, forcing it to order all other separatist battle droids in the facility to wake up and open fire on the police droids. Thanks to the surprising reinforcement, the crew manage to escape.
The climax of “Decommissioned” also shows an apparent contradiction to an action The Clone Wars. After the battle droids were reactivated to defend the clones and the Martez sisters, Echo comments that he “Never thought [he]would help see battle droids [them].“ However, Echo was previously supported by battle droids. in the The Clone wars’ “Citadel” episodes, Echo, Rex, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka and a squad of elite clones infiltrate a Separatist prison facility to rescue a Jedi general and Wilhuff Tarkin. As part of the plan, R2-D2 reprograms a small number of battle droids to help them get inside. The droids see R2 as their commander and fight right next to Echo during the episodes.
Is that just a continuity bug? Not necessarily. The “Citadel” episodes are particularly important to Echo, as he makes a noble sacrifice during the escape in order to save the rest of the troop. For years, fans believed Echo died in the citadel. Clone wars However, Season 7 revealed that it actually survived and was used as a cyber biocomputer to help the separatists predict republic military maneuvers.
Echo’s casual comment on battle droids in “Decommissioned” might just be a coincidental contradiction, but it could also be a sign that the clone still has some degree of amnesia about its “death.” Echo, after all, was long imprisoned by the Separatists of the Clone Wars and was incredibly disoriented after his first rescue. It would make sense if the events that directly led to such a debilitating injury were a little blurry for Echo, and his line in Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 6 can confirm that it is.
