With the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars wrapping up earlier this year fans have been waiting to see what the next animated adventure will be. Well that wait is over! Today Disney has announced that The Bad Batch will be getting their own Disney Plus series. Here is the official press release from Disney:
“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” – An all-new animated series from Lucasfilm – to Debut on Disney+ in 2021
The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “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 – 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. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.
“Giving new and existing fans the final chapter of ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ has been our honor at Disney+, and we are overjoyed by the global response to this landmark series,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. “While the Clone Wars may have come to its conclusion, our partnership with the groundbreaking storytellers and artists at Lucasfilm Animation is only beginning. We are thrilled to bring Dave Filoni’s vision to life through the next adventures of the Bad Batch.”
“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” is executive produced by Dave Filoni (“The Mandalorian,” “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”), Athena Portillo (“Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars Rebels”), Brad Rau (“Star Wars Rebels,” “Star Wars Resistance”) and Jennifer Corbett (“Star Wars Resistance,” “NCIS”) with Carrie Beck (“The Mandalorian,” “Star Wars Rebels”) as co-executive producer and Josh Rimes as producer (“Star Wars Resistance”). Rau is also serving as supervising director with Corbett as head writer.

Okay and not to be that guy but seriously? The Bad Batch episodes were okay at best imho im just gonna say it, i love the CTs as they were everyone had the same face no noticeable differences minus tats facial hair haircuts etc part of what made them so awesome is that theyre uniqueness is their sameness. I understand this is what they intially planned to do way back in the dsy before we ended up with the beloved clone wars series we got.. maybe im crazy but i liked the clone troopers like they were.
