The Bad Batch is back for its final season in a big way, and not because it dropped three episodes for the season three premiere, “Confined,” “Paths Unknown,” & “Shadows of Tantiss,” but rather for its breathless pace returning us to the clones’ story while managing great character moments and suspense at the same time.

After the way things ended in The Mandalorian season three, a disappointingly easy and far too quick conclusion to the series’ story so far, Jan Favreau and the story get to fail upwards in the first new Star Wars film to go into production, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Is it the start of a series of films? Is it bringing Din Djarin and Grogu’s story to an end? Or just picking it up until Dave Filoni’s film wraps up all the Mando-verse shows story? Will Pedro Pascal be more than the voice of Din for the film at least? Why couldn’t it just be another, shorter season of the show instead? And…is that really the title? Hopefully we’ll learn more soon since it’s set to be in production later this year. Also stealthily announced was a second season of Ahsoka, which was all but certain given how it all ended, but never confirmed until now. The Mandalorian & Grogu joins the upcoming slate of films which includes Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Rey/New Jedi Order (my most anticipated!), James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi, and the aforementioned Dave Filoni one.

Has it all been leading to this? The question remains pertinent in the Ahsoka season one finale episode “Part VIII: The Jedi, The Witch, And The Warlord,” as while we get plenty of enticing cliffhangers and hints where this story will go next, the show’s unwillingness to dive much deeper made one wonder why these characters got to this point.

Ahsoka Tano and Huyang show up for the party in the other galaxy in Ahsoka’s penultimate episode, “Part VII: Dreams and Madness,” which goes big with the action, returns to some political intrigue, and lets us spend some time with Thrawn and Ezra’s return, but makes it harder to swallow we’re one episode out from closing the season.
