Is there a trailer for The Bad Batch season 2?
Yes, and more than one. Lucasfilm launched the first trailer during Star Wars Holiday Anaheim last May and second in December.
Where is The Bad Batch located in the Star Wars timeline?
The show takes place between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope, in the early days of the empire’s reign. In terms of the animated series, the action takes place between the Clone Wars and Rebels (also happens before a live show Obi-Wan Kenobi).
All the Star Wars movies and shows are on Disney Plus, so you can catch up as you please.
Should I watch The Clone Wars before The Bad Batch?
The Bad Batch picks up several plot threads from the seven seasons of The Clone Wars, so you can sometimes find yourself confused when characters appear that apparently have a long history. You will still be able to follow the main stories of the main clone squad, Omega and Crosshair.
You should definitely watch season 1 before moving on to season 2 – there is 16 episodeand they’re all available on Disney Plus.
