There was also a character named Veitch in the recent episode of Bad Batch, probably a nice nod to Tom?
In 2x12 “The Outpost” episode? Yes, they called one of the clone troopers “Veetch” and then blew him a minute later! I’m not sure if that was a nice nod, or a swipe at Tom Veitch?
It was one of the very best episodes of The Bad Batch, and one of the better pieces of Star Wars overall, so maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt.
One and the same, yeah. I found it a little disappointing it was almost a blink-and-miss-it thing in tribute to Tom Vetich. But like you said, it was one of the best and more memorable episodes of Bad Batch. I’ll think of it as a positive tribute to Tom.
A strong story, character development, immersive and emotive. What It meant to be a clone under the Empire at this time, and how the Empire views them, really came through. Full of tension, and some cool art and sound in the episode. I got heavy “The Thing” vibes too.
