The First Bad Batch Episode After Dune 2’s Release Features A Giant Worm
No, Seriously
During the Bad Batch ’s return to Barton IV , Hunter and Crosshair come face to face with a giant iceworm identified by subtitles as a " wyrm " . plain , the timing is faultless and quite humorous give the late release ofDune : Part Twowhich conspicuously features the iconic sandworms that travel across the desert major planet of Arrakis and are ride by the nomads known as the Fremen . Not only does this iceworm travel beneath the snow just likeDune’sShai - Hulud , but it also feature a expectant sass ready to consume all in its track .
One has to wonder if the incredible timing was intentional on the part of Lucasfilm or but gross happenstance .
As seen inThe Bad Batchseason 3 , installment 5 , Clone Force 99 also activate devices that avail fight off the iceworm , rather than the " thumpers " used by the Fremen in theDunefranchise to summon the sandworms . Just like theZillo Beast inThe Bad Batchseason 2which homaged bothAlienandGodzilla , it ’s unimaginable not to conceive ofDune’ssandworms when this new iceworm flare-up out of snowto attack theseStar Warscharacters . To that end , one has to wonder if the incredible timing was intentional on the part of Lucasfilm or simply perfect co-occurrence .

As such , it ’s not hard to see the large role theDunenovels play conceive the desert planet of Tatooine , the tyranny of the Empire , the idea of a prophesy Chosen One , and the Sarlacc ( the original sandworm tantamount ) .
There are several more comparisons to be made between the two sci - fi enfranchisement . After all , there is a variety of cycle of influence whereFrank Herbet’sDunebooks influence the inception ofStar Warsthrough multiple element and various motif . Now , Star Warsitself has aid shape Denis Villeneuve’sDunemovies . That said , there ’s something truly special and peculiarly fun aboutThe Bad Batch’snew iceworm give the utterly unadulterated timing .
