Star Wars: The Bad Batch will get a third and final season

Star Wars: The Bad Batch recently wrapped up its second season on Disney+. The titular Bad Batch — a group of clone soldiers with imperfections that made them stand out from the group — were first introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. After the events of Revenge of the Sith, when most clone soldiers turned on the Jedi at the behest of Emperor Palpatine — they became mercenaries with their own TV show.

And now, we learned this the Star Wars Celebration this past weekend that The Bad Batch will return for a third and final season. They played a teaser trailer at the event, but it hasn’t been released to the public yet, so we’ll have to satisfied with this picture of the cast talking under a logo:

The Bad Batch isn’t one of the bigger-name Star Wars shows, but it’s been simmering along nicely on Disney+ for a while now. I’m glad it will get a chance to end on its own terms.

Lucasfilm not “actively” working on Rian Johnson’s Star Wars movies or Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2

Meanwhile, Disney is pushing forward with a ton of new live-action Star Wars content. The third season of The Mandalorian is running right now. It looks like that show will dovetail with Ahsoka, a new series all about another Clone Wars character: Ahsoka Tano. Then there’s The Acolyte, a series about the Sith set before the prequel movies; as well as Skeleton Key, which is a sort of Stranger Things-meets-Star Wars show starring a mostly younger cast.

Oh, and Disney has three new Star Wars movies in the works, including one about Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley) set after the end of the sequel trilogy. Strap in, people.

That said, Disney is showing the tiniest amount of restraint in not actively working on a new season of Obi-Wan Kenobi or further developing a new Star Wars trilogy that at one point was going to be helmed by The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson. This comes with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who talked to Variety about the state of Star Wars. She still hopes to make a Star Wars movie with director Taika Waititi eventually, though.
