Pulling away from the rogue Clone Force 99 and focusing instead on its remaining Imperial member Crosshair, The Bad Batch’s “The Solitary Clone” is an excellent, riveting episode which forces its lead to truly contemplate how far he’s willing to go.

It might be longer than expected, but Clone Force 99 is back with season two of The Bad Batch, a double premiere in episodes “Spoils of War” & “Ruins of War,” which catches new and old viewers up to the status quo and reminds us the growing problem with renegades’ lives in the post-Republic galaxy. Continue reading “The Bad Batch Season Two Premiere Review: “Spoils of War” & “Ruins of War””
With less than a month until its premiere, season two of The Bad Batch got its final trailer. While it contains quite a few things we’ve seen in Celebration Anaheim trailer (more Gungi is never a bad thing!!), it offers some new scenes with Commander Cody, Crosshair, Bail Organa, new characters, and hints at many of the adventures the team will go on in its second season, though it makes it clear not even a slight delay lead to them even considering fixing the whitewashing concerns fans have been so vocal about. The 16-episode season premieres with two episodes on January 4, 2023, and will close out on a two-part finale on March 29. Find the full episode title list, new poster, and some images below the cut!

The D23 Expo in 2022 had a few gifts for Star Wars fans, bringing trailers for Tales of the Jedi (see above!) and The Mandalorian‘s third season to the public after holding them hostage back at Celebration Anaheim ’22, a new trailer for the imminent premiere of Andor, The Bad Batch season 2 pushed from the fall to January 2023, our first glimpse at the Jude Law-led Skeleton Crew, and even the initial concepts for the heroes of The High Republic-set Young Jedi Adventures animated show! Head below for the other new trailers and other details, like the recent casting news (not officially confirmed at D23) for the Ahsoka show!

Talk about an exciting and thrilling trailer! The Bad Batch is making a gloriously large return this fall, if the trailer is anything to go by, as it even elicited an audible gasp with the return of Jedi Padawan Gungi the Wookiee, while the updated armor is a fun change and the lush animation is hard to look away from. We’ll explore some other details and the questions which arise around Gungi’s return below, but I have to start by covering how unfortunately, while the rest of the clones look to be animated darker like their Māori ancestor, Temuera Morrison aka Jango Fett, the Bad Batch themselves have not been fixed regardless of fan outcry and their initial acknowledgment of the problem (and while the rest of the clones are looking more appropriate, now it means the darker-skinned characters are the ‘villains’), so I don’t believe they ever intended to truly address this issue and it’s a damn shame. Continue reading “The Bad Batch Season 2 Panel (SWCA 2022)”
The full schedule of panels for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 has been revealed, teasing tons of big news and reveals, while also confirming a rumor, of all things! Tales of the Jedi was first rumored after images appeared online of a Lucasfilm Production team gift in December 2021 and now the panel listing for Anaheim 2022 confirmed the show’s existence as an animated anthology of shorts. I don’t expect more details until then, besides maybe a tease on May the Fourth this year, but hopefully it’s shorts like Star Wars Visions, with different creatives for each one and longer than the Galaxy of Adventures micro-shorts. Beyond the show’s reveal, there’s confirmation of a The High Republic focused panel, various publishing panels, the Attack of the Clones 20th Anniversary Celebration, Siege of Mandalore screening, and so much more! There’s no word on what we’ll be able to watch from home for those of us who can’t make it this year (breaking my streak by not going!), but head below to check out some of my picks for panels to enjoy so maybe you can start planning accordingly whether you go or not this year!

The Bad Batch’s season one finale “Kamino Lost” is a tense, emotional ride as the Batch must band together, even with Crosshair, in hopes of surviving Tipoca City’s destruction, a fitting character focused ending to a smaller-focused season.

Hope you enjoyed last week’s nice little break, as The Bad Batch’s return with “War-Mantle” is just the tip of the iceberg for the end of the show’s first season, ending on a big cliffhanger that will probably take the final two episodes to resolve!
