Disney+ has released a new promo spot for Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Bad Batch, which is a spinoff of The Clone Wars. The video takes a look back to when we last saw the characters Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker, Tech, and Echo in The Clone Wars.
These clone characters were rejected due to their abnormalities, but they each have unique traits that give them enhanced abilities that make them a lot more useful and badass than the other regular clones.
The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch, also known as Clone Force 99, “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.”
The Empire isn’t happy with Clone Force 99, and they want them wiped out, so they find themselves on the run and embarking on an adventure across the galaxy. They also enlist the help of a young kid who is a fan of theirs.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch makes its debut on Tuesday, May 4th, with a special 70-minute premiere, followed by new episodes every Friday starting on May 7th.
