Dee Bradley Baker, the voice of The Bad Batch and all other Clones, discusses the return of Commander Cody in The Solitary Clone, the third episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, with Dan Brooks at StarWars.com.
Note: This article discusses details and plot points from the third episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
“Well, it’s fascinating, isn’t it? Cody’s a beloved character,” Baker tells StarWars.com. “We know since Order 66 played out, we’ve all seen that he was part of that horrible moment, and his place in that. But then you wonder what became of Obi-Wan’s right-hand clone, what happened there. And so it turns out that he’s still in with the Empire and he still thinks that this went the way it should — that they took out the bad guys and they’re here to bring order and to make the world work, and they’re a fighting force for good.”
“He is faced with the reality on the ground of what’s actually transpiring of what’s unfolding. Well, as the fans know, and I think love, about the clones, is that the clones exist in a moral universe. They know right and wrong and fair and unfair, just and unjust, and they want the best. And when they see it, they have the humanity and the intelligence to start to inspect the contrary of what may have always been said or believed. So here we have Cody, coming face-to-face now with the reality of what he has signed into, or what he stayed loyal to, as well as Crosshair,” Baker says. “And so both of these guys are starting to see, very directly and movingly, what’s up, in a way that cannot be denied, excused, or turned away from.”
