Dee Bradley Baker, the voice actor who gives his voice to Star Wars’ Commando Cody and the animated clones, recently sat down with writer Dan Brooks, from the Star Wars official website, to discuss the return of his character after the events of Order 66. For Clone Marshall Commander Cody that event was particularly memorable for he was brainwashed into betraying his friend, Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, after that Darth Sidious called for Order 66 to be executed.
According to Baker, this event adds another intricate layer to the character which makes him more complex and more compelling, making his plight more interesting to follow. “Well, it’s fascinating, isn’t it? Cody’s a beloved character… We know since Order 66 played out, we’ve all seen that he was part of that horrible moment and his place in that. But then you wonder what became of Obi-Wan’s right-hand clone, what happened there. And so it turns out that he’s still in with the Empire and he still thinks that this went the way it should — that they took out the bad guys and they’re here to bring order and to make the world work, and they’re a fighting force for good.”

During this second season, Cody will pair up with Crosshair, also known as The Solitary Clone, for a capture mission. At the end of it, Cody will be questioning even more the Empire’s legitimacy and its Emperor’s words. Ultimately, Crosshair and Cody will start questioning what they’ve been fighting for until then.
“He is faced with the reality on the ground of what’s actually transpiring of what’s unfolding. Well, as the fans know, and I think love, about the clones, is that the clones exist in a moral universe. They know right and wrong and fair and unfair, just and unjust, and they want the best. And when they see it, they have the humanity and the intelligence to start to inspect the contrary of what may have always been said or believed. So here we have Cody, coming face-to-face now with the reality of what he has signed into, or what he stayed loyal to, as well as Crosshair… And so both of these guys are starting to see, very directly and movingly, what’s up, in a way that cannot be denied, excused, or turned away from.”
The story of The Bad Batch is currently being unfolded on Disney+ and is set to conclude on March 29 with a two-episode finale.
