You are familiar with Dee Bradley Baker's voice if you are a fan of Star Wars animation. In Star Wars, he played every clone trooper: The Clone Wars and Star Wars, respectively: The Bad Batch, which includes Clone Force 99's principal troopers. Baker can play a variety of characters, including Crosshair, a former Batcher, Tech, Wrecker, and Crosshair. And when his own characters are in a scene together, it is not a result of clever editing.
Baker tells StarWars.com, "Most of the Bad Batch scenes, we just record straight through as written." I often compare it to jumping from one rock to the next in a stream. Each is a distinct unit. I can simply switch from one to the other because I can see it and feel their distinct differences, making them seem like real people. Baker has a lot to do this season, and it is definitely an acting workout.
The tale of Clone Force 99, also known as The team of elite clones must decide what they will be in this new galaxy in Season 2 of the Bad Batch, which airs on Disney+. They no longer serve the Republic; The Empire has replaced it because it considers them to be enemies. As the Empire tightens its grip on the galaxy with its iron fist, the stakes for what's at stake rise in Season 2. Therefore, the Bad Batch is increasingly up against that. They have carried out missions and tried to locate their location for a considerable amount of time without really getting involved. However, at the same time, Rex and other clones, such as Echo, rise to the occasion and declare, "We need to get involved with this."
Indeed, Echo must encourage Hunter, the team leader, to take an active stance. Baker has his own thoughts regarding Hunter's unwillingness to challenge the Empire.

"Indeed, I believe Tracker's style is one of cautious thought. He really wants to make sure that everything makes sense, not because he's a hothead who jumps into things. Sid is the one who always responds, "Uh, I don't know about this," even when he is the one sending them on a mission. Baker says that we will see Hunter's thoughtfulness more often this season as the Bad Batch navigates unexpected situations and strange missions.
Crosshair and Commander Cody meet for a mission this season. Commander Cody, a fan favorite trooper, defected from the Empire after witnessing its tyranny in action. Crosshair, a former Batcher who has remained loyal to the Empire and whose conflict with his brothers in the Bad Batch continues to form the show's central conflict, gave Cody his turn during a mission. Baker teases, "His story becomes very, very interesting." A Crosshair episode is my favorite. About three-quarters of the way through, it comes up. It's a very interesting story, and I'm particularly interested in his personal journey. This season, it really stands out.”
Keeping this in mind, which Batcher is the actor's all-time favorite?
Crosshair in the shadows: "See, they're all interesting and fun. Baker states, "They're all very nice to me." Crosshair, on the other hand, is a fascinating coiled snake with an oddly opposing point of view. He is an interesting character because he views the world and other people from that distance, and his job is to hit things from a stealthy distance as well. Certainly, the voice is the quietest of the Bad Batch. But he isn't arrogant. He is not totally evil. In the end, he is a rational individual with some humanity.
Naturally, there is a member of the team who is not played by Baker: Omega, the squad's beating heart and unaltered child clone. While these experienced troopers do their best to raise her, she imparts to the Bad Batch a sense of innocence and optimism. "Well, having Omega among these brothers adds a nice layer of meaning, relevance, and depth of connection and relatability," Baker states. As this galactic tyranny begins to tighten its grip, not only is the survival story of a ragtag group of specialists unfolding, but they are also attempting to raise and safeguard a child in the midst of it all.
The Bad Batch on Kashyyyk: Baker can't wait to see where The Bad Batch will go as Season 2 comes to a close.
"The adventures, plot twists, and fateful reversals that are coming will be out of the blue. Some will be welcomed, while others won't. Laughs.] However, it's a wild ride. The outcome of this second season, in my opinion, will be extremely pleasing to fans. It's exciting to be a part of and to experience with a fresh perspective when you don't know what you'll see or what will happen. Because this was always a part of Star Wars' excitement for me, going back to Episode IV and even Episode V. The best thing is being surprised and knocked out by something you hadn't seen or expected. And a lot of that is heading your way,” Baker asserts. So buckle up, because it's coming!
