With another The Bad Batch episode comes another reminder of the need for the show to do better with its problematic whitewashing. ES-2, aka the Elite Squad soldier who’s a Black woman, might be the most visibly Black skin-toned animation yet on the show, but it’s still too light. They can say what they want to about lighting and whatnot, but it’s still a conscious choice not to do better or not simply darken the skin-tone regardless of retaining lighting fidelity.
