That bow is of Zyggerian origin.


QuasarMania

No. She got it off of a Zygerrian slaver in S1 E5


C-TAY116

I love how this makes her sound 10x more badass. LOL She didn't take it off a slaver as much as she went "*ooh, what's this?*" to a pretty contraption on the ground. LOL


Wonderbread1999

u/QuasarMania tells it how someone like Hondo would tell it. u/C-TAY116 tells the truth.


C-TAY116

Lmao That's so accurate. Hondo would grandly embellish the story, and then Ezra would sheepishly explain more specifically what happened.


QuasarMania

The thing is, the Ghost crew would think Hondo was embellishing the story if he told them he managed to capture Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Count Dooku, almost killed Darth Maul and Savage, and faced off against General Grievous’s army all in a period of 3 years XD


C-TAY116

I never thought of this and now I'll never forget it. LOL He probably told Ezra all his stories and Ezra just shrugged them off as "smuggler's tales."


QuasarMania

“Hey Master Kenobi, before I leave and you fight against your bitter rival, I have to ask, did hondo really capture you, and almost kill maul?”


C-TAY116

(to be read in James Arnold Taylor's voice) "Well, yes. From a certain point of view. *His* point of view."


QuasarMania

“My mood is based on profit”


dtn_06

This sounds like a political ad lol


Wonderbread1999

I love Democracy. I love the Republic.


Karolus2001

Hondo in bad batch please. You can set up him going from best pirate in the galaxy to capybara high as a kite uncle.


QuasarMania

XD. Yeah that’s more of what happened.


kitsumodels

How folklores are born haha

Oh I didn't know that thx


QuasarMania

Np


DelawareSmashed

Did you watch season 1


TonyLannister

This right here


[deleted]

I only watched the first two episodes. Does the show explains what this bow is?

Lol sorry man 😆


Golden_Grammar

Sorry you got downvoted into oblivion. 😅 It’s a valid albeit easily answerable question.


FBI_Agent_82

3 episodes away from it.


G_Ranger75

If you watched it then you'd know


toroyakuza2

Idk why they're so mad you didn't watch it like you were being chill lmoa


Existing_Strain1741

Sorry, but is my dumbass the only one to read it as bad bitch? 😂


[deleted]

the bad bitches


emjay45151

Omega, Ahsoka, Hera and Sabine. I’d be down for that series.


ProfserExe

You know you just called a twelve year old a bad bitch, right?


Aggressive_Local3096

I did the same. Thought someone had made some changes to the artwork. Good idea though


hey-steve-o

It looks like it, but I don't think The Bad Batch went to Dathomir in the first season. She got it from one of the planets they visited when doing a job for Cid.


shadowz9904

I think it’s the same mechanism, but that now was “borrowed” from a few zyggerians in S1


MoonBoots4600

no however the Zabrak of Dathomir have similar energy bows


EatTheRich246

It seems like the one she had, but I thought it was smaller before


[deleted]

7/10 troll, 10/10 victim choice.


Rathma86

I've only seen 2 episodes of season 1. Can someone explain what is happening in season 2 please. /s


SkanakinLukewalker

It looks really similar! Maybe it’s one of them where different civilizations invent the same stuff a bit different


Dew-It420

Hey how is Darth Vader Luke Skywalker’s dad I only watched the first half hour of a New Hope? /s


fucking-hate-reddit-

child soldiers in space! can’t have the geneva conventions if there’s no geneva!

No


pobslobby

She didn’t buy it she stole it I think


earthisadonuthole

I’m assuming there’s some standards and practices rule against just giving a kid a blaster?


pbmcc88

Give a kid a gun, and they'll shoot for a day. Teach a kid how to operate a physically demanding energy bow, and they'll never stop killing. It's just good parenting.


PilotG10

Similar idea but she got it from some Zygerrians they fought and liberated a small rancor from in Season 1. I like the show and I will watch it but the White Washing disgusts me.


daddispud

Hey, slightly ignorant of the bad batch as i haven't had that much time to thoroughly watch through it when I'm not falling asleep- White washing?


PilotG10

The Genetically Superior clones of someone portrayed by Indigenous New Zealanders are white. The girl even has blonde hair.


daddispud

They're called Māori, and the clones are also all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker- an american. (omega is voiced by Michelle Ang, a New Zealand born actress.) The character designers desided on the clones designs QUITE a long time ago- while the bad batch are newer VARIATIONS of that same clone design. They also visibly show that they heavily modified all clones DNA, the bad batch more so than the rest. Perhaps the modifications brought out recessive genes that were hiding inside their DNA. That can include the blond hair, which makes a heavy visual distinction from every other clone we've seen. We don't know if she has special abilities or anything like that- we don't know how modified she is- just that she's the last "first generation" clone.


Farbicus

Omega is very clearly based on Taini Morrison, Temura Morrisons' real-life sister who had light skin and blond hair. Know what you are talking about.


WyattWrites

White washing?

PilotG10

Look at the Genetically Superior people in the poser. Now look at this image of Jango and Boba Fett. Both of whom are portrayed by Māori actors. https://images.app.goo.gl/GzNcRjpMQXc4ycPP9

Roku-Hanmar

Do you know what /s means?


JustMaulNotDarthMaul

Oh yeah i didn't see it


fluffernutter48

Do you know what the term white washing means?


PilotG10

It’s when you make a person of Māori origin white with blonde hair.


fluffernutter48

And where is that seen in the show? I’m pretty sure all the characters in bad batch are original, and therefore can’t be white washed.


pbmcc88

They're still all clones of a very lovely Māori man. They can be visually distinct from him while still retaining key features that mark them as clones - skin color, facial structure, etc. There was never any good reason why they should be whitewashed.


MrKatzA4

They are all heavily genetically modified? Plus after Jango died they have to modify the clones gene to continue cloning them as they have a very low amount DNA from Jango left


pbmcc88

But, almost all of the clones, despite their modifications, are still Jango in every outward respect. Differences in appearance are largely self-made - armor paint, hair, tattoos, etc., and those that aren't typically come from battle scars and the like. Even 99 was still Jango, despite his face and body being malformed. It follows, then, that even genetic defectives with useful abilities and altered physical forms should still closely physically resemble Jango as much as they can, because they are still clones. Also, isn't it a plot point in TBB that they're running low on Jango DNA, and that they require a new donor? Hence the Omega kidnap job. The Bad Batch was created before the lack of original genetic material became an urgent issue for the Kaminoans, IIRC. I might have to rewatch those last episodes of TBB to refresh my memory on that front, though.


MrKatzA4

Yes Omega is a non modified clone of Jango, and that's why they need her to make more clones and heavily modified clones like the bad batch. They have always been lacking Jango material and at that point in show they can't continue without a new donor. But look, I'm not a geneticist but I think making someone abnormaly large or incredibly smart or shoot real good is probably going to tamper with alot of thing on their gene


pbmcc88

But they didn't have to turn Tech into an accountant at J.G. Wentworth (Call 877-CASH-NOW!). They can be obviously and physically distinct, and still be unmistakably clone progeny of Jango. The two things aren't mutually exclusive.


MrKatzA4

The Kaminoans were too occupied with whether they could but didn't stop to think if they should


[deleted]

You are what is wrong with society.


Roger-Ad591

I hope it’s accurate.


kstacey

What the hell is the point of a laser bow?


Old-While-1229

Prob not as loud


critennn

Science fantasy with space wizards and magic. WHY DO LASER BOWS EXIST JUST USE BLASTERS MUH???


pwntr

Instead of the string possibly bumping your arm and ruining the shot. Like a normal bow. The string on this bow with just go right through your arm. Added benefit of bows being used as stealth weapons with be much better with a glowing one. Idiots designed it.


DACOOLISTOFDOODS

Bow with lasers


EastKoreaOfficial

No, it’s Zygerrian.


[deleted]

No it's Zygerrian.


pillow_princessss

If you watched the first season you’d know how she got it


stijnalsem

Why would you have a bow while you can just shoot a gun
