Clone Wars Conversations S7 P1: Introducing The Bad Batch, AKA Clone Force 99 In The Final Season Premiere

We dive into the premiere of the final season of the Clone Wars, introducing The Bad Batch!

The final season is upon us! Clone Wars Conversations’ delves into the first four episodes of Season 7, making up The Bad Batch arc, introducing an unusual group of clone troopers (Clone Force 99) and their interactions with Rex, Obi-Wan and Anakin!

In detail, our trio talk about how they found the start of Season 7 (given it’s been over 10 years since Season 6), especially noting the animation style. On top of this, they delve into thoughts on the Clones, especially the new characters who make up the Bad Batch and their thoughts on the spin-off/follow-on series (which Mike has seen all of, but Dave & Maff have not). Along the way, Mike provides extra content & lore dumps and how these episodes compare to the previous 6 seasons.

The previous CWC focused on Christie Golden’s novel Dark Disciple, concluding Asajj Ventress & Quinlan Vos’ stories in the Clone Wars, watch here: https://youtu.be/zdUy9Pymp3c
