The Mandalorian has attracted incredible directing talent during its first two seasons, and it has proven to be an introduction to directing Star Wars for most of them. Outside of Dave Filoni, all of the directors have been newcomers to telling Star Wars stories at Lucasfilm when joining the show. But is it also possible [...]
This year, many of the current Star Wars comic lines are converging, as well as a few new issues, to tell a massive story called "War of the Bounty Hunters." Set in-between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the story focuses on many factions in the galaxy all vying for Han Solo, [...]
In a recent interview with CNet promoting the premiere of The Bad Batch, supervising director Brad Rau confirmed that the first season will run for 16 episodes! "We have 16 episodes in season 1," he said, before touching on a potential second season. "We can't confirm any more than that, but we have high hopes. [...]
At the end of the series premiere for The Bad Batch, the crew heads off in search of an old friend, in sector J-19. Many connected the dots in figuring out who that would be, particularly with the second episode being titled, "Cut and Run." As many expected, the Bad Batch traveled to Saleucami to [...]
The Bad Batch returned today with the second episode of the series, now settling in to the normal Friday release after the premiere dropped on May the 4th.

The Bad Batch, the latest show from Lucasfilm Animation, contained a major cameo from another Star Wars animated show - and no, I'm not talking about The Clone Wars. It was very obvious how this show - even right from the opening logo - was going to be picking up where The Clone Wars left [...]
Happy Star Wars Day! Today is the launch of the newest show from Lucasfilm Animation, The Bad Batch! The show launched with a 70-minute mini-movie, and I feel totally comfortable saying that it's the best introduction to any animated Star Wars show we've seen. The animation, quality, storytelling, and scope felt much more on par [...]
With The Bad Batch about to premiere, I thought now is a good time to pull this article from the archives and re-post it, highlighting who this clone squadron actually is!

May the 4th is almost upon us, and the centerpiece of this year's celebration is, of course, the premiere of The Bad Batch, the latest series from Lucasfilm Animation.
