    A solid continuation of the Star Wars Filoni-verse. Clone Wars fans will be delighted, but there’s promise of a more ambitious show yet to follow.

    They are probably not enough to make you feel the “fourth” and celebrate Star Wars Day if you weren’t planning to, but they just about earn their space.

The Bad Batch is a weak effort all around. I'm sure fans of the Clone Wars series will like it but it lacks fun, excitement, and a reason for existing other than to continue cashing in on the star wars property. The 70 minute first episode drags so long; after 11 minutes i checked the time because i was certain it was bound to be over soon, alas, it went on and on and on. At one point it felt like it'd be a spin on TMNT in the star wars universe, but I don't have the constitution to sit through more to see if that's true. The animation is so boring and drab. It has the energy of the worst parts of the prequel movies with, somehow, an even worse script.… Full Review »

    Very interconnected with the Clone Wars Finale and Revenge of the Sith, it's cool to see how the bad batch handled and thought about order 66Very interconnected with the Clone Wars Finale and Revenge of the Sith, it's cool to see how the bad batch handled and thought about order 66 and the rise of the empire. Aswell as Kamino. Great start to the show, can't wait for more. One thing that weirded me out (clone wars sometimes had this problem too) The young padawan we meet at the beginning, looked 17ish, but he sounded like a 30-year-old smoker, it throws me off a little, but overall still a really cool show.… Full Review »

    First thing to know is that this is basically just The Clone Wars Season 8, but I was expecting that long beforehand so no disappointment, butFirst thing to know is that this is basically just The Clone Wars Season 8, but I was expecting that long beforehand so no disappointment, but if you disliked The Clone Wars or haven't watched it this might not be your cup of tea. The plot is promising, but I can understand why some think the exposition is dry or empty. Most of the characters are fine, with one or two being pretty annoying. This improved with the second episode though, but I can't tell if this is just because characters were taken to the extreme for 1st episode introductions, or if it's just that they didn't get as much screen time in the 2nd episode. I anticipate my score will go up once the show finds its rhythm. It's enjoyable, but not the best I've seen from Filoni.… Full Review »
