The Ending Of ‘The Bad Batch Made’ The Composers Of The Show Cry
Dating back to the very first 3D animated Star Wars picture of the modern era, Kevin Kiner has been the backbone of creating amazing music. He is known for his work on the 2008 film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the subsequent Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, and Star Wars Rebels. His passion is evident in the music he produced to accompany great a variety emotions and scenes, from the pumping "The Clones Theme" for the Grand Army of the Republic to the heartbreaking "Burying the Dead" for the final episode shots of The Clone Wars Season 7. It comes to no surprise that Kiner would be equally, if not more, emotionally attached to the development of The Bad Batch series as he composed music to supplement the show's storyline.
As of May 23, 2021, eager fans have only been introduced to four episodes of The Bad Batch. The work on the episodes themselves is much further along. As with the rest of the production team, Kiner Brothers Music is hard working on creating the soundtrack for the season finale of The Bad Batch. A recent tweet appears to hint at a very sad ending for Season 1.
"Been working on the finale of #TheBadBatch. Quick question, is it normal to be working on a cue so hard you start crying?"
It is true that the tweet is open to many interpretations. It may simply be that the composers have been pushed to a point of exhaustion in the show's work.
Working so hard that you cry, perhaps. After all, the follow-up tweet was a tad bit more light-hearted. Could they be trolling us for followers?
"Wait did this tweet just get us over 1k followers? lmao".
On the other hand, many fans worry that the tweet is more of a cryptic hint at a tragic ending for the show. The single tweet by Kiner Brothers Music is already teasing the ending and stirring up fan theories and discussion. What could be so bad to cause the composers to shed tears. What is tucking at the heartstrings of the people who essentially create the atmosphere and round out the emotions conveyed on screen. The flames of anxiety and anticipation surrounding the ending of Season 1 is volatile, dependent on what the audience currently knows about the past and future of the genetically enhanced clone squad, which his practically nothing. We have only seen them previously in a quick four-episode arc in Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. The three episodes that have aired does very little in revealing more details about Clone Force 99.
With the lack of canonical information on the characters' background, no one's fate in The Bad Batch is certain. As Omega appears to be a core plot point for the development and connection with future (or past) Star Wars projects and productions, she has the highest likelihood of surviving the increasing threats in the show. There is no such relative assurance for the rest of the Bad Batch, however. Many have speculated on the ultimate sacrifice by the squad in fighting for a greater good. They may sacrifice their lives to protect Omega, or the entire galaxy, reminiscent of a tragic ending similar to Rogue One. Fan theories have further speculated on Crosshair's character arc. He may either be sacrificing himself to help his former crew, or irreversibly falling into a downward spiral as an unwilling, brainwashed agent for the burgeoning empire.
Perhaps fans should just sit back and enjoy the remaining of the sixteen episodes scheduled for the premiere season of The Bad Batch. We should just go with the flow of the adventure. As the saying goes, whatever may be, will be.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch airs every Friday exclusively on Disney+ where you can watch and rewatch the episodes to your heart's content.
