These small details that evoke a similarity of set and scene across “Star Wars” projects bring a sense of cohesion. These moments help bridge the gap between live-action and animation and make the stories feel as though they’re all happening in the same universe. The tank ties this episode to “Rogue One,” but what they do with the transport is much more evocative of the train heist sequence in “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” Instead of a tracked train, the transports chase along the edge of a cliff. It maintains the same danger and energy, but adds to the overall cohesion of the universe, thematically tying one back to the other. Some feel this makes the universe too small, but to me, it ties the entire galaxy together, and echoes of “Rogue One” and “Solo” in “The Bad Batch” add to that broader “Star Wars” tapestry.
Episodes of the final season of “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” premiere on Wednesdays on Disney+.
