Star Wars: The Bad Batch

I think my qualms with the first season are still here with the second. There seems to be some anomaly with this show; some episodes are absolutely fantastic (episodes with Crosshair and The Empire) and others are just like why does this exist? If I do a rewatch, I'll be skipping 40% of the episodes lol.

The highs of season 2 exceeded season 1, I will say that. The ending was fantastic. The best parts of the season were: the exploration of the clones and their supposed defectiveness, the scheming Empire, the cloning intrigue, and certain parts of Clone Force 99.

Omega has improved, but she still isn't my favorite. She has matured a lot though, and will be huge for season 3.

Overall, more people need to watch this show, and season 2 improved upon season 1.

Yes there are filler episodes, but I urge you to remember The Clone Wars. Quit making excuses and watch The Bad Batch. What are you waiting for?

This show is really good. I understand why people don't like it, and they have some fair points that I agree with. I don't mind filler episodes if they are done well. Sometimes they're done well, other times, not so much. The plot centric episodes are really good though, and the characters are good, with crosshair being the show stealer in terms of writing, and the animation is incredible. Not all characters worked well. I feel like echo got sidelined, but he had his fair amount of development in the clone wars. This show's greatest strength is the world building. Seeing the Republic's transition to the empire from the clones point of view was great. Overall, it's the best first season out of any star wars animated show, but not one of the great ones YET. It's like a 7.8/10 for me.

The bad batch returns to the characters first seen in clone wars season 7. This first episode is an amazing buildup to what I believe an even better rest of the season. It is packed with some nice action, big suprises and gasping for air moments. I am very interested to see where it is going. Definitely worth the watch.

Top drawer animation with storylines that rival the very best the franchise has to offer.

Gripping and engaging, the Bad Batch is a worthy successor to the Clone Wars and a notable entry in the franchise.

With a plot centred on propelling the narrative of Palpatine's fledgling Empire, fans will find much to enjoy as we are shown the paradigm shift from the perspective of many worlds we are familiar with.

It's a difficult transition from the Clones point of view, as they find themselves having done their duty and a changing world that no longer requires their services.

Poignant and powerful are the few episodes dealing with this specifically.

Bravo.
