Star Wars: The Bad Batch Awards Fennec Shand Poster Key Art Honors

Four episodes into Lucasfilm and Disney+'s animated spinoff from "Clone Wars" canon Star Wars: The Bad Batch and we've had poster key art honors bestowed upon Hunter, Tech, Crosshair, Echo, Wrecker, new 'intern" (for lack of a better phrase) Omega, and freedom fighter Saw Gerrera (Andrew Kishino). But after last Friday's episode saw "The Batch" taking on mercenary Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) to save Omega and hightail it out of Pantora. But even without the noblest of intentions, Fennec Shand is still deserving of their artistic honor- which they received, as you can check out below:

Lucasfilm and Disney+ also released mini-profile clips for the members of Clone Force 99- here's a look at the full squad in profile action:

For a look back at where things stand with Clone Force 99, check out the clip below- with Star Wars: The Bad Batch releasing Fridays on the streaming service:

And here's a look back at the new official trailer:

Star Wars: The Bad Batch 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.

For Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+, the series is just the next chapter in the streamer's commitment to an animated SW universe moving forward. "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," explained Chu. "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."
