Fittingly titled “A Different Approach,” Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3, Episode 4 picks up directly where the trilogy of premiere episodes left off, with Omega and Crosshair mid-hyperspace flight aboard a badly damaged ship, on the run from the Empire, with their four-legged companion Batcher in-tow. The characters quickly crash-land on a small planet and find themselves debating how to proceed — creating a bottle episode in the best of ways.Confined to the setting of this singular planet, the episode gives Omega and Crosshair breathing room to develop their relationship and for their respective motivations and ideologies to clash against one another. Crosshair, conditioned from birth to be an executioner and to only ever care about himself, has a very specific way of handling things. Conversely, Omega is an idealist and always looking out for others. Like stones to their respective swords, the debates between the two characters serve to further sharpen their own distinct views, and Ezra Nachman’s script does a fantastic job of highlighting their differences.This serves multiple purposes in the story, with Nachman’s writing taking the opportunity to illustrate the almost Casablanca-esque purgatory Omega and Crosshair are trapped in as indicative of the abuse the Empire is doling out on every planet across the galaxy. It also acts as a reflection of Crosshair’s own conflicting morality. Much like Crosshair, the Imperials on the planet are driven less by a genuine sense of loyalty or duty, and much more by their own personal desires. This challenges Crosshair and ultimately forces him to make hard choices that further refine and his character in deeply fascinating ways.
