This series gives us a very different look at General Cham Syndulla who is conflicted about the new Empire’s occupation of Ryloth but maintains an almost uncharacteristic open-minded attitude given his experience and struggles alongside the Clone Army and Jedi Master Mace Windu during The Clone Wars. Setting the stage in a very similar fashion to Episode 10, this week opened on Ryloth with the unpopular leader of the Twi’lek, Senator Orn Free Taa, and the popular General Cham Syndulla addressing their people in the shadow of the Empire’s influence.
This however is not the case as the Empire is increasing its occupation of the planet, and Syndulla’s Admiral, Gobi Glie, is attempting to organize a rebellion of his own. This week’s story followed the conflicted General Syndulla as he copes with Imperial occupation at the end of the Clone Wars and his optimism that the Twi’lek people will no longer need to be at war. It is clear that the Syndulla Clan have played an important role for both the Republic and the Rebellion.
The shows creator, Dave Filoni, must see Ryloth as a significant location in the Star Wars universe as it has been the focus of important story-lines in The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, and now The Bad Batch. The Bad Batch played only a supporting role in this episode, as the focus was on the growing rebellion on Ryloth, and the moral conflict within the famed “Hammer of Ryloth”, General Cham Syndulla. SlobodzianĮpisode 11, “Devil’s Deal”, continues the theme of the rising rebellion in the wake of the expanding Empire. Ryloth Makes a “Devil’s Deal” on Episode 11 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch by Adam D.
