The next episode of The Bad Batch hits on Friday.
Lucasfilm
Disney picked the best way to celebrate May the Fourth this month by premiering a new Star Wars series on Disney Plus. We’re now four episodes into The Bad Batch, a slick CGI-animated show from The Mandalorian producer Dave Filoni.
New episodes drop once a week on Fridays, helping to plug the gap between other big franchise shows The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the upcoming Loki.

What’s The Bad Batch about?
Star Wars: The Bad Batch comes from The Mandalorian producer Dave Filoni. If that wasn’t enough to cement its credentials, it’s a spin-off of the lauded computer-animated series The Clone Wars, which you can also find on Disney Plus.
The Bad Batch, using the same CGI-animated style, is set after the events of Revenge of the Sith and charts the missions of a squad of clone troopers who debuted in the final season of The Clone Wars. These mercenaries were all cooked up with genetic mutations, and are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, Ming-Na Wen (as a younger version of Fennec Shand, reprising the character she plays in The Mandalorian), Stephen Stanton and Andrew Kishino.
