In the spinoff series’ first episode, Tom Kane’s narrator shows up for good measure, to remind us what happened during the final episode of The Clone Wars, Victory and Death, and to segway the viewers into The Bad Batch. The Bad Batch was introduced in the final season of The Clone Wars, where five genetically enhanced (or modified) Clones fought during the fall of the Rebellion and went above and beyond the regular clones’ programming, due to a defect in their inhibitor chip. When the opening title of Star Wars: The Bad Batch kicked in, following the same aesthetic footprints as Star Wars’ greatest series, The Clone Wars, I quickly became excited by seeing a direct sequel of one of the best-animated series ever made. *Warning: This piece contains spoilers for episode one of Star Wars: The Bad Batch* Despite a promising start, The Bad Batch ’s first episode quickly fizzles out and makes it a disappointing first impression for Star Wars’ latest animated series.
