Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: ES-01 is initially presented as a staunch believer in the new Empire, being grateful for a decent paycheck and reliable work. However, once his squad is ordered to kill a group of civilians, he objects and tries to convince the rest of the squad to ignore their orders. This unfortunately leads to Crosshair killing him. This shows that the Empire doesn't want soldiers who regard their duties as simply a job. They want those that will follow the Empire without question and without hesitation, and regard it not as something to pay the bills, but as a fundamental aspect of their being.

** Both Rampart and Tarkin assume that, since the new squad managed to complete the same mission that the Bad Batch refused to, that an army formed by recruits will be a much better army than one made by clones. However, they don't know that the recruits, like the Bad Batch before them, refused to kill civilians and that Crosshair made them do it by killing the ES-01 and prety much threatening the rest. Had Tarkin actually bothered to send a probe droid to check on the mission, like he did when he sent the Bad Batch, then he would have seen that Rampart's idea wasn't as good as it seemed.
