Every so often, I'll ask myself, "Were the Bad Batch really the ultimate form of Space Rednecks?"
The simple answer? YES. YES THEY ARE.
That's why half of them look white. The Kiwi gods snatched that melanin and cheekbones back when they saw what trashy nonsense these Florida Men of the Republic were up to.
Let's take a quick look from one of their first introductions in The Clone Wars' season 7 episode: "A Distant Echo".
Barely a minute long, and the following redneck nonsense happens:
Clone Force 99, Rex, and Anakin Skywalker (who looks actually happy to be with these dingbats) fly into some absolute garbage dump of a planet that has all the raw grace of Port Arthur, Texas.
They arrive in their crappy second-hand work truck that's filled with leftover food, gun posters, other guns, a Twi'Lek Playmate of the month, and who knows what else. Notice Rex refuses to take a seat in that dump.
"I done heard that folks round here ain't civilized and they do worship the devil or something. Check it out!" - Tech.
Giant critter and its illiterate, backwoods, hillbilly owner knock their car over.
Everyone runs out to gawk.
Everyone whips out their guns.
Hunter and Wrecker literally yells at said giant critter to get off the car and are stymied when Anakin tells everyone to put the guns down.
Of course Crosshair shoots the critter while Tech helps him scope it out.
And Hunter goes for a drag race while cheering.
My neck is significantly redder after writing this out.
