What are your guys' thoughts? Are you excited? Anything in particular you would like to see from this show?starwars.com wrote:Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company announced that Star Wars: The Bad Batch — the next Star Wars animated series – will debut on May the 4th, a.k.a Star Wars Day, exclusively on Disney+, with the second episode premiering on Friday, May 7. Subsequent episodes will premiere on Fridays. The series follows the elite and experimental troopers of Clone Force 99 (first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch, as they prefer to be called — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill, which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch
I love Clone Wars too so this looks awesome! I hadn't heard about this yet so thanks for sharing, Monica! Like you, I can see lots of story potential.

This totally has potential to be very good! I didn't love the Bad Batch Clone Wars episodes, but I'll give this a shot. I generally trust Dave Filoni to make good TV.

I noticed Fennec Shand from the Mandalorian is in the trailer! I'm surprised but excited. I'm very curious to see what her role in the show will be. Ming-Na Wen confirmed she is reprising the role in the Bad Batch.
I enjoyed the bad batch arc in season 7. It wasn't mind-blowing or an achievement in storytelling, but it was a lot of classic Clone Wars fun. I enjoyed how the characters worked off each other.

I love anything Star Wars so this should be awesome. It will be interesting to see how they handle the Bad Batch post-Clone Wars, if they are primarily anti-Empire or if they go underworld against bounty hunters etc.

Whereas the last trailer was basically just a teaser, now we have a full trailer.

Thanks Monica! This is awesome. That is definitely a long premiere - it makes me wonder if it means they're dropping two or three episodes, since that would be a very long episode otherwise, especially compared to 22-ish minute Clone War episodes.
The Bad Batch continues to look very good. Is it just me or does it look a little different visually than Clone Wars? Maybe it's just a bit of an advance in technology, or a desire to look a little less cartoon-y, or perhaps just my imagination.![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)

My wife says the animation looks too good.

Haha, that's an interesting way to describe it. I know some people talk about the "uncanny valley" where animation is creepily realistic, which doesn't really fit in this case, so maybe "too good" is the best way to put it.

The show was confirmed by a producer to be 16 episodes! I think that's a record for a Disney+ show (correct me if I'm wrong).
The premiere came out yesterday and it was amazing! I had my expectations above average (I trust The Clone Wars team) and my expectations were exceeded! I'm so excited to watch the next episode this Friday!

I'm not clicking the spoiler tag because I haven't watched yet (thanks for using that, Monica) but I am really looking forward to it. I saw that the first episode was over an hour long and the second one was half an hour, so I assume that the first one was the anomaly and the rest will be a more conventional half hour. I didn't realize there were going to be so many episodes! That's awesome.

I still haven't watched the first season.
I meant to because it looks really good and I like Clone Wars, but I just never got around to it. My brother and I were going to watch together (probably in separate locations while talking on the phone) but we both keep busy enough that we were always watching something else that seemed more likely to be time sensitive when we did have time to watch (like Obi-Wan - we really didn't want spoilers).

We're only a few episodes in, but season 2 is really good so far. It has a darker tone, but that wasn't uncommon for the later seasons of the Clone Wars either.

I still need to get around to season one. My brother and I almost managed to watch the first episode the other day (via talking on the phone and hitting play on our respective devices at the same time), but we just watched hockey and chatted about random stuff instead, so we remain increasingly behind. Good to hear that season two is good so far!

While hockey is an acceptable substitute, you should totally watch it!!Catspaw wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 8:42 pm I still need to get around to season one.

I'm liking season 2 so far, especially the most recent episode and the return of Gungi from the Clone Wars.

Well, season two is over, and I am NOT okay
brb, gonna go cry some more with Aeva.
. . .but in reality, the writing was SO well done. In summary: the choices we make directly impact the direction of our lives. The Kiner Brothers rocked the music, and the animation was stunning.
Hopefully season 3 will be announced at Celebration later this month!

Love you always, SnC

I saw that the season two finale was streaming...and I still haven't started season one.
One of these days! I love seeing your high opinion of the show, Termite, because it reminds me that it sounds worth watching.
