This was ABSOLUTELY chilling...

Ventress returns in the most awesome way...
In episode 9 (Season 3) of the Bad Batch, we saw Asajj Ventress return after her death in Dark Disciple, but what did her final words mean for Star Wars and her future in the franchise...
"I am many things... but I am NOT your enemy."

Bad Batch Season 2 premieres January 4, 2023

THE BAD BATCH - Season 2
[Source: TheDirect] Star Wars will take a new direction with the release of The Bad Batch during its run on Disney+, making history in the process. Fans recently got their eyes on the first trailer for Season 2 of The Bad Batch thanks to an unexpected post on the main Disney+ website, showing the fandom what Hunter, Wrecker, Omega, and the team will have to face across the galaxy. This season will even include a couple of classic Star Wars clones like Commander Cody from the original trilogy and Captain Rex from The Clone Wars, touching on plenty of Star Wars story threads from the 21st century. The show is set to arrive on Disney+ shortly after the new year begins, complete with the first two episodes both arriving on the streaming network on January 4.


But while a two-episode premiere is far from uncommon during Disney's streaming era, The Bad Batch will take a more unique route with the release of later episodes as well.

According to the official press release for Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2, the season will conclude on March 29 with both Episode 15 and Episode 16 being released simultaneously. This is the first time that any Disney+ show has released two episodes in the finale week of its season.
Additionally, on top of the double season-opener and the double-season finale, there will be a third instance of two episodes premiering at once for the mid-season finale on February 8 with Episode 7 and Episode 8.

Jan. 4 — Ep 201 “Spoils of War” & Ep 202 “Ruins of War"
Feb. 8 — Ep 207 “The Clone Conspiracy” & 

                  Ep 208 “Truth and Consequences”
March 29 — Ep 215 “The Summit” & Ep 216 “Plan 99"

All Star Wars Easter Eggs In Bad Batch Episode 1

Every Detail And Reference You Missed
In The Bad Batch Episode 1, "Aftermath"

So The Bad Batch started off with a huge BANG and gave fans of the Star Wars animated series everything they wanted and more. The epic seventy minute premiere, which Disney wonderfully dropped on Star Wars Day (AKA May 4th), was rife with action, intrigue and emotion. But of course, it was also rife with something else- Easter Eggs. The show made constant call backs, references and subtle nods to the Star Wars universe as a whole - including Lucas’ prequels, Filoni’s very own animated series and of course the classic trilogy.

In this video we are going to take a look at every Star Wars Easter Egg (at least the ones we caught) that can be seen in the episode. From references to some of the very best plot arcs in Clone Wars, subtle nods to obscure lines of dialogue and places in Lucas’ prequels, familiar technology seen in the classic trilogy and even a reference to Obi Wan’s famous line. Get ready to set your ship into hyperdrive as we quickly fly through all of the references and Easter Eggs in Bad Batch Episode 1 - Aftermath.

What did you make of the episode? How does The Bad Batch compare to the other Star Wars animated shows? What do you want to see happen next? What was your favorite Easter Egg? Any we missed? Let us know down below and make sure to subscribe to the channel today for all this and more!
