New ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Season 7 Trailer Introduces The Bad Batch
TheStar Wars: The Clone Warsanimated series is coming back for one more season on Disney+, and fans have never been more happy to see a bunch of Clone Troopers gearing up for another battle. A new trailer for what will be the final season of the belovedStar Warsshow shines a light on the ragtag unit of soldiers in Squad 99, known as The Bad Batch. Why? Because they’re a handful of clones deemed defective, each one having a desirable mutation that helps them on the battlefield. Meet them in the newStar Wars: The Clone Warstrailer below.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Trailer - Squad 99
The Bad Batch was glimpsed in the animatic development reels that were shown to fans whenThe Clone Warswasn’t meant to return for any new episodes. But now that the show is returning, we’re getting introduced to the squad all over again. Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair certainly look like forces to be reckoned with, and the action they get into looks even better.
Don’t forget, these aren’t the only new Clone Troopers that we’re going to be seeing. There’s a whole faction of them who have their armor painted in honor of the return of Jedi ally Ahsoka Tano, another beloved character we can’t wait to see back in the fight. We’ll be rooting for them throughout the show, but let’s not forget, a victory in the Clone Wars will inevitably become a victory for what will become the Galactic Empire.
Even though this is the final season ofThe Clone Wars, we’re hoping that Lucasfilm will haveDave Filoniworking behind the scenes on another animated series sooner than later. But he might be too busy withThe Mandalorian, so perhaps someone else will have to step up to the plate on the animation side.
