The final scene of “Star Wars: Bad Batch” Season 2, Episode 3 sees Crosshair once again called into a meeting with Vice Admiral Rampart. Rampart tells him he’s been assigned to a new commander, and when Crosshair asks why he’s no longer working under Cody, he’s told that Cody has gone AWOL.
It’s clear that guilt isn’t the only reason for Cody’s desertion. He shows significant doubt throughout the episode that the Empire is actually doing good in the galaxy, and the mission on Desix only deepens this feeling. At one point, Cody asks Crosshair if the Empire is actually doing any good, and the other clone simply responds that, as soldiers, they’re meant to do their jobs. Cody, however, seems done doing his.
The news of Cody’s desertion is exciting for fans of the character, as it opens up a whole world of possibilities. “The Bad Batch” could finally give us the Cody and Rex reunion we’ve been waiting for, and a reconciliation arc with Obi-Wan Kenobi isn’t even out of the question. If Cody’s main reason for going AWOL is a loss of faith in the Empire, he’ll likely want to redeem himself by fighting against it. And if he does, he’ll likely start working in one way or another with the burgeoning rebellion.
