Watching The Bad Batch feels like reuniting with old friends from The Clone Wars. The series doesn’t try to reinvent anything, but it does offer a solid and emotional continuation of the stories left behind in the Clone Wars. From the very first episode, you can feel the affection for these characters and the effort to give them a proper send-off.
The animation remains top-notch, with well-executed action scenes and an atmosphere that keeps the spirit of Star Wars alive. While this final season is shorter, it’s also more intense, with bold storytelling choices and some very dark moments. Some episodes truly leave a mark, and others subtly tie into the broader galaxy.
Granted, since it doesn’t directly affect the movies, the story doesn’t grip as tightly as other recent entries in the canon. Still, it manages to be moving. Watching Clone Force 99 grow, especially Omega, is what really keeps the series grounded.
Ultimately, The Bad Batch might not be the most popular, but it’s definitely one of the most sincere. For fans of The Clone Wars, this farewell feels both bittersweet and well-deserved.
