The last time we checked in to see how things were looking with Lucasfilm & Disney+'s Star Wars: The Bad Batch, executive producer & supervising director Brad Rau, executive producer & head writer Jennifer Corbett, executive producer Athena Portillo, and actors Dee Bradley Baker and Michelle Ang were sharing a preview with "Star Wars" fans (more on that below) and confirming that the animated series would be back sometime in 2024 for its third & final season. Now, the endgame is at hand with the release of the official trailer & key art for the team's final mission – set to get underway on February 21st with a three-episode launch.
An audience-only teaser trailer was screened at the end of last year's Star Wars Celebration panel, giving fans a sneak peek at the third season. It began with the Emperor (Ian McDiarmid) visiting Dr. Royce Hemlock, leader of the Empire's cloning efforts, on Mount Tantiss. "It is imperative that this facility remain secure," Palpatine says. "Your brilliance is a great asset to this Empire." All members of the Bad Batch appear, with Hunter addressing Omega's capture at the hands of the Empire. "Omega's been waiting for us. I'm not making her wait another day."
We see Omega and a sullen Crosshair, both still in Imperial custody. "I'm not giving up, Crosshair," Omega tells him. "I won't leave you, either. You're my brother." Throughout, there are glimpses of several worlds and characters, including Republic commandos, clones, Rex, plenty of giant creatures ("Why is there always a huge monster!" Wrecker asks before dropping a thermal detonator in one's mouth) – and Ming-Na Wen's fan-favorite bounty hunter, Fennec Shand.
The series is executive produced by Dave Filoni (The Mandalorian, "The Clone Wars"), Athena Portillo ("The Clone Wars," "Rebels"), Brad Rau ("Rebels," "Resistance"), Jennifer Corbett ("Resistance," NCIS), and Carrie Beck (The Mandalorian, "Rebels") with Josh Rimes ("Resistance," "Visions") and Alex Spotswood ("The Clone Wars," "Rebels") as producers. Rau is also serving as supervising director, with Corbett as head writer and Matt Michnovetz as story editor. The series returns for its third & final season on February 21, 2024, on the Disney+ streaming service.
