Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Meet Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker, Tech & Echo
Late last month, Lucasfilm and Disney+ rolled out the official trailer for Star Wars: The Bad Batch– the upcoming animated spinoff rising from the ashes of their beloved Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Then earlier this month, viewers were introduced to a new series poster introducing them to our main players- and the ever-present and looming threat of The Emperor and the Empire. Now with "May the 4th" almost upon us, viewers are getting a chance to check up on what Clone Force 99 has been up to since we last saw them courtesy of a new video from the streaming service.
So to get up-to-speed with where things stand with Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker, Tech, and Echo, check out the clip below- with Star Wars: The Bad Batch set to premiere on Tuesday, May 4:
Here's a look at the new official trailer for Star Wars: The Bad Batch– with the series set to premiere on Tuesday, May 4, with a special 70-minute opener, with following episodes premiering on Fridays starting May 7:
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 upcoming 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."
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) executive produce. Carrie Beck (The Mandalorian, Star Wars Rebels) will co-executive produce with Josh Rimes (Star Wars Resistance) producing. Rau is also serving as supervising director, with Corbett as head writer.
