Disney and Lucasfilm are really hyping up The Bad Batch. They featured in an awesome still that was released last month —
which you can check out here — and a trailer was released just last week that was entirely dedicated to them —
check that out here.
Not only is
"The Bad Batch" the title of the first episode of the upcoming final season of
Star Wars: The Clone Wars but it's also (not incidentally) the name that Clone Force 99 go by within the episode. They're an elite group of Clone Troopers that would've otherwise been considered a failed batch if not for each featuring favourable mutations.
Last month, the synopses for the first and second episode surfaced online. The first episode of the final season will see Captain Rex and the titular Bad Batch attempt to infiltrate an enemy base on Anaxes. Here we have a clip from the episode that has been released via the official
Star Wars YouTube channel.
This clip features both Clone Commander Cody, Arc Trooper Jesse, and Captain Rex. The former explains who the Bad Batch are to the latter before the elite squad in question discourteously arrive on the scene and proclaim:
"The cavalry has arrived!"
You can check out the clip for yourself below (via
Star Wars):
Star Wars: The Clone Wars — The Final Season will be available to stream on Disney+ from February 21st, 2020.
