The cavalry has arrived! Star Wars: The Bad Batch, an all-new animated #DisneyPlus Original Series from Lucasfilm, will debut in 2021.
The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in The Clone Wars) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill, which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.
“Giving new and existing fans the final chapter of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been our honor at Disney+, and we are overjoyed by the global response to this landmark series,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. “While The Clone Wars may have come to its conclusion, our partnership with the groundbreaking storytellers and artists at Lucasfilm Animation is only beginning. We are thrilled to bring Dave Filoni’s vision to life through the next adventures of the Bad Batch.”
Star Wars: The Bad Batch is executive produced by Dave Filoni (The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Athena Portillo (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels), Brad Rau (Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars Resistance) and Jennifer Corbett (Star Wars Resistance, NCIS) with Carrie Beck (The Mandalorian, Star Wars Rebels) as co-executive producer and Josh Rimes as producer (Star Wars Resistance). Rau is also serving as supervising director with Corbett as head writer.
In many ways, The Bad Batch's reframing of Obi-Wan's line from Return of the Jedi is reflective of the show's larger efforts to bring some better disability representation. The franchise has been guilty of employing the scarred villain archetype before -- most recently with Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy -- but here the show's heroes like Wrecker have prominent facial scarring. Echo, whose cybernetic implants are equally visible on the sides of his head, is similarly portrayed as being just as capable as the rest of Clone Force 99, rather than vilified and/or regarded as being lesser because he's a [/b]n to a galaxy far, far away.
There totally was no disabled/scarred/machine-enhanced good guy in Star Wars
Quote:
While Alec Guinness does a great job of delivering Obi-Wan's response in this scene ("He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.") The line problematically implies Vader is "evil" because of his cybernetic nature, not his personal choices
Well at least we've already covered cyberneticophobia, thank god ! The line implies Vader has lost himself and is a shadow of his former self, goddamn, not that handicapped people are inherently less of a human.
How fucking stupid can you get
You gotta stop posting this kinda crap Yuri-chan, stop triggering me

How can "this" even be worth discussing? It seems discussing the show itself isn't interesting enough, instead "we" have to find something that remotely resembles "woke" to whine about.

Yeah guess they missed the original trilogy.. Main protagonist and main villain are both disabled (Luke in ESB).
No interest in this, i was before but not now, both voice actors from this show and bosses at Lucasfilm has been acting like absolute scum this whole year, mocking fans, lying about Gina Carano etc. They can fuck off...
Bruh you're like insufferable.
Gina cerano can say whatever she wants, people can infer everything she says however they want.
Celebetities saying whatever they want about gina cerano are dicks.
Pick. A. Fucking. Lane.
Either she can say whatever she wants and so can they, or none of them can say what they want.
Star wars is trying to mass market itself. Will it be successful or not is a matter of time. If the show is good and has an audience then who cares. People are getting paid to work on it. Jobs are created. Like... wtf.
I cant watch cg star wars cartoons. Their character designs are so awful and cheap. They look sick.
Edit. Also it is a cartoon. You're not the primary target audience.
lol @"cartoons are for children".. like anyone in 2021 and who isn't 80 years old really believes that, you clearly haven't watched a lot of anime. Clone Wars is better than anything SW apart from movies episode 3-4, Mandalorian is fucking trash in comparison to the writing in Clone Wars series.
I've never claimed you can't say what you want?
If i don't feel like i want to watch something, then i don't watch it.. pretty simple and i don't understand how it's upsetting. If a company is bullying fans, trying to bully actors and doing their best to "cancel" them from future work in the industry by lying etc then obviously it's not something i will ever support. Scum of the fucking earth is what they are.
Uh, SW has always been mass market.. It has always been aimed towards both children and adults, toys etc - it's as commercial as it possibly gets.
I don't even know what your argument is here, doubt you have anything but for some reason you got super triggered. You're rambling like some lunatic without any kind of real arguments.
Actors bashed gina cerano and the fans
Lucasfilm employees did the same.
Therefore theyre bad people.
She can say whatever she wants.
They can say whatever they want.
And yes cartoons are for kids.
Main target audience is children.
Adult cartoons are aimed at adults that includes anime.
Like, bruh.
And no star wars isn't mass market. It thinks it is, but it isn't thats why there was the new trilogy, as well the new shows which target audience is the old fans. They want new fans. They want the fanbase to grow. You think it is has mass market appeal, but it isn't cbm big. Its has mass watercooler appeal, and brand recognition, but it isn't growing new fans. Parents and old fans are breeding new fans. Star wars isn't. It is not as successful at mass market appeal as the original trilogy or even the prequels. It is divisive, yes.
Quote me where i say that they can't say what the hell they want? For the second time, it has never been my argument. Yes bullies are bad people in MY opinion, organized bullying is even worse. Anyone is free to disagree.
Everything is not that black and white dude. SW is aimed towards both adults and children, that's the mass market appeal it's had from the very start. That goes for both the movies and the animated series. Rebels is a little more childish though (i've watched some of it), haven't watched Resistance so i wouldn't know, seems shit. I don't think you've watched enough Clone Wars to know, it has some of the darkest themes of SW. Ewoks movies was aimed towards kids, so was the infamous Christmas Special, neither are cartoons btw... Droids was also more aimed towards children, it's nothing like Clone Wars..
SW currently is a mess due to how its managed (by mainly Kathleen Kennedy).
I noticed that with the "May the 4th be with you" theme this year surprisingly they were promoting movie 3-5 mostly. On one promo theme they once again deleted black actor John Boyega from the image, in favor for two white actors. Originally he is in that art (someone dug up the original), suddenly erased once again. And yet it's also a company who portray themselves as anti-racist etc. Hilarious.

Watching episode 2 now and so far so good. For me the animated Clone Wars series, and I include the bad batch here, is the best thing from the star Wars universe, after Ep.5.
