While the episode is an interesting look at how Clone cadet training works, it is even more interesting due to the parallels between the Domino squad and Clone Force 99.ĭomino squad and the Bad Batch are similar not because of their individual members, but because of the way that they are treated and perceived by their fellow Clones. By the end of the episode, they learn to work as a group and graduate from Kamino.

In the episode, the Domino squad is often called “rejects” because they fail to work together as a team. The Star Wars: The Clone Warsepisode "Clone Cadets" shows how Echo's original team, the Domino squad, eventually graduated from training. While the Domino squad was first introduced in Season 1, Episode 5, “Rookies,” Season 3's “Clone Cadets” chronologically took place in between the show’s premiere movie and the series itself. While Echo is new to the Bad Batch, he is not unfamiliar with being a part of a squad that is looked down upon by other Clones.
