Ahead of it’s 4th May premiere followed by the second episode on 7th May – Fantha Tracks have seen both episodes and say no more but wow – StarWars.com delve into the soldiers of The Bad Batch to give viewers fresh to the story of Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair and Echo some background before the show begins on Disney Plus in just over a weeks time.
The Bad Batch, a concept straight from George Lucas, made their debut in the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The Clone Wars were close to an end when Captain Rex first crossed paths with the motley crew. When the battle on Anaxes took a turn for the worse, Rex couldn’t shake the feeling that the droid army might be using the intel of an old friend, Echo. Commander Cody called in Clone Force 99 to help them infiltrate the cyber center that held the secret to the Separatists’ strategy.
The unconventional squad was a well-oiled machine by the time Rex met them. With practiced strategies and uncanny timing, the Bad Batch made quick work of a battalion of droids closing in on them. The strike team made it into the cyber center with little resistance. Tech tracked the Separatists’ strategic algorithm to a live signal on Skako Minor. A garbled but familiar voice called out through the signal.
