Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021–2024)
9/10
Filoni has brought balance to the Star Wars fandom once again.
4 May 2021
Star Wars The Clone Wars is easily one of the best animated series of all time thanks to its stellar cast, animation, and writers. Bad Batch is no different. Dave Filoni, all the voice actors, and LucasArts deliver another amazing story about the events after TCW and Order 66. Dee Bradley Baker shines as the Bad Batch among every other clone they encounter. It's truly remarkable how he can express so many different emotions and personalities for the clones. Without his voice acting range the show can easily fall flat but no clone feels like the same person thanks to his performances. The visuals and action are taken up a notch thanks to Disney Plus's improved budget (I can only presume) and advancements in animation since the original series's debut. Not only do we get tie-ins with characters and plot points from the films but we are also treated to interesting storylines that we didn't even know we needed. The hour long pilot truly help it feel like an epic tale set in the Star Wars universe. Much of what happened between Episode 3 and 4 were left to Legends but now we get a phenomenal animated representation of some of the events that had taken place. Dave Filoni's apprenticeship under George Lucas is clearly shown through the story, you get that classic Star Wars vibe that is absent from Sequel Trilogy. If you are a Star Wars fan then don't miss out on Bad Batch!
