“The Bad Batch” is a show series that shows the aftermath of the clone wars series which has the same drawing style as the clone wars series. This is the second season of the bad batch show that aired nearly two years ago.

On episode one: The bad batch are seen, still doing missions for Cid where they are sent to steal from Count Dooku’s war chest but Omega, Echo, and Tech get trapped in one of the containers and they find that the only way to get out is by launching the containers out of the ship. To finish the cliffhanger, begins where the last one left off where they are in mid-air and in the crates and Tech gets injured, they meet a man who gives them hospitality. Meanwhile, Omega escapes to try to get a crate but they told her to drop it, and we end it with them empty handed. 

On episode three, we return with Crosshair and meet the fan-favorite Commander Cody where they are on a mission to kill a post separatist but Cody hesitates, Crosshair finishes the Job and Cody questions the usage of clones.

In episode four, Hunter and Echo are on another mission and the group is only Tech, Wrecker, and Omega. In this episode, they find out that Cid has some beef with a new villain named Dowutin. Cid bets on a race but her robot gets injured and Tech has to take its place and wins for Cid.

 In the next episode, it takes place like an “Indiana Jones” theme where they go treasure hunting with a new character who is seen as a treasure hunter who somehow persuades the group to look for a very expensive jewel which turns out to be a device stopping a giant robot.

In Episode six, we meet a fan favorite Wookie, Gungi from the clone wars that trained as a Jedi, where the bad batch have to return him to his tribe where he goes back to kashyyyk and fights back against the imperials.

In Episode seven, we are back on Coruscant where we see two clones who chat about how one of them thinks that the empire caused the destruction of Kamino and gets assassinated for it. This leads to the clones thinking the empire is keeping a secret and getting rid of the clones 

The following episode ends the cliff-hanger with a senator fighting for clone rights with evidence that the empire did destroy Kamino but Palpatine introduced the stormtroopers in the same meet and echo leaves the group to stay with Rex making most of the fans feel down.

In Episode nine, the group is found on a planet extracting a rare material from a mine and Wrecker was left outside to guard the ship. The ship got stolen and they got trapped in a cave but eventually found a way out.

In Episode 10, The group finds out who stole the ship and realizes the kid who did it was so he could get food. Alpha goes with him to get the ship and they find out that their employer was hoarding all the food and overthrew him.

In Episode 11, the crew is sent to a ship where they find a creature that killed everyone on board the ship, the creature absorbs lightning as seen and escapes to a power plant stealing electricity and becoming insanely powerful making a really good fight for our favorite clones.

In the following Episode, This one focuses on Crosshair who is sent to a frozen outpost. There are only four clones at  the outpost, then raiders attack and then there is only one. The general tells them to get a crate they lost and then they lost the last clone on the way. Crosshair killed the general out of anger and was imprisoned immediately.

After, the group is seen heading towards a beautiful island planet called Pabu, it is peaceful, but a big wave hits the island and the bad batch was forced to help everyone to safety. They are debating if they should stay here.

In episode 14, We see that Rex and Echo are stealing clones from imperial ships because the empire has no need for clones anymore. We then figure out that they are trying to free all the clones with the bad batches’ help. We then see Crosshair, who was previously captured sending a message to the bad batch after escaping prison and they debate if they should go get him or if it is a trap.

Tune in for the season finales of the bad batch next time. Both episodes will be released on March 29, 2023. The bad batch’s future is still unknown. Will there be a season 3? Will they stay on the island “Pabu” and settle, letting Omega have a normal life? Tune in next time to find out.
