But before that, they manage to successfully sneak onto the planet using a familiar method. Clone Force 99 ends up having to fight their way out, with the help of the battle droid army left over from the Clone Wars and the Martez sisters, a pair of smugglers who were first introduced in the original Clone Wars series. The Bad Batch takes place in the immediate aftermath of the Clone Wars, during roughly the same time period as Revenge of the Sith. Episode 6, "Decommissioned," sees the clones trying to secure a defunct tactical droid from the planet Corellia.

It's a simple trick, and one that doesn't seem like it should work at all, but humorously space ship scanners prove to be pretty easy to fool. While attempting to evade planetary sensors, the rogue Clone Force 99 employs a simple stealth technique that has been used by characters in past Star Wars characters over multiple generations.

The sixth episode of Disney+ animated series The Bad Batchpays tribute to Star Wars' oldest spaceship joke.
