Disney+ is looking to bring some new animated Star Wars material out in 2021 and they previously announced Star Wars: The Bad Batch as the project. The series got a look during the recent final season of Clone Wars where this group of Clone Troopers were involved in one of the missions. It’s got a good pedigree to it as well with Dave Filoni serving as the executive producer on it with Athena Portillo, Brad Rau, and Jennifer Corbett. Carrie Beck is on board to co-executive produce along with producer Josh Rimes.
With the show set for a May 4th, 2021 debut as part of Star Wars Day and set as a 70-minute extended piece, a new poster has been released below. This one is a nice contrast to the previous one to the right as it opens it up to the actual look of the characters and more materials from it. The series should be interesting as a post-Revenge of the Sith series since it’ll work with characterslike Tarkin and Saw Gerrera but it’s also introducing others into animated form with Fennec Shand from The Mandlorian appearing, played by Ming Na-wen, the, same actor.
“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,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. “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.”
Plot Concept: The series 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 a new purpose.
