    @kirwan do we know if this is going to be ongoing or is it just telling one story of the bad batch?

    It’s a series if that’s what you are asking.
    Obviously based around the Bad Batch but the key character seems to be Omega. We have already established she is an enhanced clone of sorts just no idea what/how etc

    @crucial sorry, should have been more clear.

    Obi-won is at least rumoured to only be one series, 6-8 episodes telling one story

    Just wondering if the Bad Batch is the same or if it will get multiple series

    From a quick google, it seems it depends on how well it does this first season.

    If we can tear the thread away from silly memes for a moment new SW material is on screen.
    The Bad Batch has started!
    Ep1 fills a gap to explain what happened to the Clone troops post Order 66.

    It was excellent, my son really enjoyed it. Filloni knocks another one out of the park.

    Took getting used to the broad Kiwi accent for Omega.

    All clones have a bit of kiwi in them.

    That's what I pointed out to my son, he wasn't digging it. The clones don't have a Tem accent, yet alone a kiwi one. I think it's grating mainly because the actress wasn't that great.

    It is confirmed as the same Caleb. His story has gone full circle now with his sacrifice mirroring that of his master

    It's good. The animation is similar to the Clone Wars, but with better effects.

    The animated shows are some of the best Star Wars. Particularly the Clone Wars.

    I just find it hard to watch animation these days, sadly.

    Watched it as planned and it definitely has legs even though it’s got a potential A Team rip off all over it. I have to grit my teeth a bit when Omega talks but I hope I get used to that. The details of Kamino and the other planets were beautifully done and the fighting scenes were great fun too. I just wonder how long the show can keep coming out with new and compelling material ?

    The Moff Tarkin representation ( still one of my favourite Star Wars characters ) felt a bit weak, Rogue One did it much better. Also the strong clone seems a bit OP ( overpowered for those of you who don’t have sons to tell you cool lingo ) despite my gripes I’m fairly sure Tarkin will be a big factor in explaining the bridge between clones and ordinary ( shithouse ) stormtroopers we see later.

    I'd say it is simply a cost thing. Conscription and hard rule is cheaper than paying for Clones.
    The purpose of the clones was to set up an army that was available for when Palpatine needed them to fit into the grand plan.

    i'm hoping they dont string it out too long, even one long season just explaining whatever is special about omega, getting crosshair back, a couple of fun side quests and then either into hiding or....

    I have to say i didn't actually mind Omega, the actress is a kiwi, shes obviously playing it up, making it childish, its cool to see something different to american or english, i like that they havent tried to recon Tem as the cones/boba/jango

    I actually thought the clone troopers sounded like someone emulating Tem but not overdoing it.
    The same voice actor does all of Bad Batch characters as well. He is apparently the most prolific voice actor around. Pretty sure that he would have based his version on that of Tem.

    Anyone else watched those short clips on Disney+ with the Vehicle flythroughs (Falcon and Star Desroyer)?
    Also one called Biomes which is long looks at different worlds. Like a drone view of Hoth.
