Star Wars Celebration just wrapped up another super successful year, and among the many news items and trailers to drop was a teaser for Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2. An animated spin-off of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch stars voice-artist Dee Bradley Baker as “The Bad Batch,” a team of genetically engineered clone troopers working as mercenaries in the wake of the Clone War.
As per this season’s description:
Months have passed since the events on Kamino and the Bad Batch continue their journey navigating the Empire after the fall of the Republic. They will cross paths with friends and foes, both new and familiar, as they take on a variety of thrilling mercenary missions that will take them to unexpected and dangerous new places.

Our resident Star Wars expert, Alex Maidy, who was on-hand for Star Wars Celebration, gave the first season of The Bad Batch a pretty glowing review when it first came out. As he said,
“With a story that continues to show that Star Wars can be about more than lightsabers, Jedi, and Sith lords, The Bad Batch is a fun action series with quick pacing and solid writing. While I was never a huge fan of the animation style of these series, I was able to tolerate it in order to enjoy this tale. If you are not a fan of Dave Filoni’s animated Star Wars properties, you likely won’t be converted by The Bad Batch. If you don’t like Star Wars without the main Original Trilogy characters, you likely won’t be convinced by this series, either. But, if you enjoy any world-building that expands the canon set in a galaxy far, far away, you will enjoy this show.”
The first season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch made its Disney Plus premiere about a year ago. The second season, which consists of sixteen episodes, premieres this fall.
