I was hoping we would see something relating to it in the bad batch, as it has Scorch, but they seem to mostly be using him as a background character.

      Even if we did it’s going to be so far removed from the team that made the first one it wouldn’t feel the same anymore. I think the time for a sequel that feels like a true sequel is far gone

      That certainly seems to be the way disney is going, I’m just so perplexed by them having Scorch be a reoccurring background character in the bad batch if they aren’t going to do something with him.

      Yes and no. We’re never getting a sequel. But creators of Bad Batch confirmed that Scorch was the commando leading the other clones during the protagonist escape.

    One thing I’ve learned is when they name drop someone it’s important.

    Scorch is scorch instead of a random clone for a reason.

      Personally, I’d say yes, it hasn’t aged well on PC (your cursor will move at Mach 2 in menus even on the lowest possible sensitivity for example) and the graphics could certainly use an update, but the squad combat & banter still feels great. The game also does a great job of feeling like it fits into the universe, it came out about 3 months before Revenge of the Sith, and includes tons of references and hints to its plot that feel like something an actual in universe clone would see.

      I will warn you however, if you end up playing it, the game is very hard at points, and the AI can be pretty stupid at times.

      One of my favourites from my childhood, but I haven’t played it in a while so I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia talking.

    I believe there was a book that was supposed to wrap up the cliffhanger. I would love a remaster of this game.
