Now on StarWars.com, The Clone Wars Legacy continues with “The Bad Batch” — an unfinished four-episode arc that has finally been made available. These four story reels electrified fans at Celebration, which also featured a panel about the arc from supervising director Dave Filoni, actor Dee Bradley Baker, and writers Brent Friedman and Matt Michnovetz. The “Bad Batch” arc stars Captain Rex and an elite squad of experimental clones known as Clone Force 99, but who call themselves the “Bad Batch,” on a mission to recover a combat algorithm from Separatist forces. Fans will love the introduction of the Bad Batch: Wrecker, Tech, Cross Hair, and Hunter, along with other faces from the past…

As Filoni discussed at the panel, these are four episodes “about clone troopers who are different from the rest, different in ways we have never seen in The Clone Wars before. It was an idea that George [Lucas] had towards the end of the series, something we were going to go forward.” Filoni went on to say that this arc “fulfills a promise that he had to fans of clone trooper Echo, when he seemed at the Citadel to be doomed. I saw a massive outpouring of depression, especially from the younger “clones” and believe me, nothing makes me feel worth than to see that. So Star Wars, in a lot of ways, as J.J. Abrams said yesterday, is about hope. Here is your hope for your lost friend Echo and your continuing friend Rex.” Check out the full panel now at StarWars.com for more insight into the episodes.

If you enjoyed the Bad Batch, then you should delve into the story of how clone trooper Echo went from a near washout to a pivotal figure in The Clone Wars. Below you will find a suggested viewing order for episodes featuring Echo, which includes the episode number for each episode, title, Jedi fortune cookie, and official description. These are all available now on Netflix. Enjoy.
