Picking up where the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars left off, Star Wars: The Bad Batch follows the elite and experimental clones of The Bad Batch as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. The animated series has now reached the half-way point of its 16 episode season, and Disney have released an action-packed mid-season trailer teasing what's to come.
The previous eight episodes have shown how the Empire is slowly making the transition from Clonetroopers to the Stormtroopers we all know from The Original Trilogy. Toss in a few familiar faces and exciting reveals, and Star Wars: The Batch Batch has proven to be a worthy successor to The Clone Wars. As you can tell from the trailer above, it seems that Crosshair is now officially gunning for his former teammates, which means that shit is about to hit the fan.
"During the creation of the clone army, the Kaminoans made genetic experiments in an attempt to create super soldiers," reads the official StarWars.com description of the Bad Batch. "While the plan never quite worked, four of those experiments came to form Clone Force 99, or, as they called themselves, the Bad Batch. The Bad Batch were indeed an elite group, though their methods were somewhat unorthodox. The team’s clones were wildly different from each other, with unique personalities and body types: Hunter, the stoic and strong leader; Wrecker, the hot-headed brute; Tech, the intellectual and strategist; and Crosshair, the fast, deadly master of close-quarters combat."
