While the conflict could simply be introduced into Star Wars canon within The Bad Batch by taking place on another planet, many of the details of the Kamino uprising would need to be altered. Taking place approximately seven years after the events of The Bad Batch in 19 BBY, the Kamino uprising, which was introduced in the 2005 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Battlefront II and briefly mentioned in the Legacy of the Force novel series, is a clone rebellion in which the Kaminoans grew their own clone army to challenge the Galactic Empire. After ES-02 reports Crosshair’s betrayal to Admiral Rampart, he decides to shoot down Tipoca City, which collapses into the planet’s ocean surface. When Crosshair and his Elite Squad trap Clone Force 99 in the training room, Crosshair surprisingly shoots his Elite Squad members to give the Bad Batch a chance to join the Empire’s efforts.
In episode 15, Clone Force 99 return to their home planet of Kamino to save Hunter after he was captured by the Empire. However, the complete destruction of Tipoca City, the setting of the Kamino uprising, suggests that the conflict is the opportunity to depict the Kamino uprising in canon. Many new canon Star Wars movies or TV shows draw from the existing stories and characters established within the Legends timeline, and with The Bad Batch spending so much time on Kamino, and exploring a similar era and themes, it was not unreasonable to think it possible that the conflict could make its way into canon.
During part one of the Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 1 finale, Tipoca City, the home of the Kaminoans’ cloning operations and a significant Star Wars location during the Republic Era, is demolished by Imperial cruisers with Clone Force 99 still inside, which unwittingly creates a problem for a Star Wars Legends story: the Kamino uprising.
