What we didn't know was what the titular troopers would actually be doing. Going AWOL, and apparently kidnapping an adolescent clone in the process.

For those that don't know, The Clone Wars ended with the Emperor enacting Order 66, which forced clones to turn on both Jedi and any disobedient comrades. The Bad Batch are nothing if non ill-behaved, and it seems the empire isn't also fond of soldiers who are "aught but trouble".

And then they're on the run, and it doesn't look similar they're willing to quietly go into hiding either. Certainly not since they'll be crossing paths with Rebel prison cell leader Saw Gerrera, who volition similarly prove himself to be nil but trouble in the years to come up.

They'll also exist encountering bounty hunter Fennec Shand, star of The Mandalorian and the upcoming The Book of Boba Fett. And then it seems that it won't but be clones and imperial troops subsequently Clone Force 99 either. Who knows, perchance nosotros'll fifty-fifty encounter Fett himself pop up at some point. We still don't know what he was upward to between Revenge of the Sith and a New Promise.

There are still enough of unknowns, but nosotros're going to accept to await until May 4 before we notice out much more than. That'due south the day the Bad Batch volition hit Disney Plus, with a special 70-minute premiere.
