Padmé, good-naturedly asks Anakin where he could have picked up on such behavior. This episode is heavy on plot points relating back to earlier seasons, but in this case, at least for those concerned about the broader narrative implications of the series, there are larger questions raised about the Clone Troopers and how their minds work, evolve and can be utilized.Įarly in the episode, Anakin, talking to Padme, shares his concern that Captain Rex is being driven by his emotions, and acting impulsively in his efforts to prove the Clone Trooper, Echo, whom he failed to save, is still alive. Continuing the Bad Batch arc from last week’s episode, Captain Rex and the Bad Batch, a group of mutated Clone Troopers, alongside Anakin Skywalker, travel to Skako Minor to follow up on clues that suggest Clone Commander Echo, seemingly killed during the third season, might still be alive. What’s in the mind of a Clone Trooper? That’s the subject of the second episode of The Clone Wars season seven, “A Distant Echo,” directed by Steward Lee.
