Disney has announced that its next animated Star Wars show will be called Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and it will revolve around the group of clones by the same name. Dave Filoni, the supervising director of both Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Star Wars: Rebels, will return to helm the new show.
The Bad Batch was a group of clone troopers born with beneficial defects that gave them abilities, skills, and attributes that put them a cut above the rest of their peers. They only appeared in the first four episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 7, so what happened to them after the events of The Siege of Mandalore remains a mystery.
However, this new Disney Plus Star Wars show will address this question, as it takes place sometime after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Viewers will get to know if these deadly fighters took part in executing Order 66 or if the team somehow managed to solve the issue the same way Ashoka and Rex did.
The time period actually gives the show flexibility to do several things, such as show what Ashoka and Rex did immediately after faking their deaths, check in on what a young Kanan Jarrus did after his master's death, and even possibly connect Star Wars: Fallen Order's Cal Kestis with all these other characters.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch is currently in development.
