Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2

Thanks to the built-in chips, the Imperial Army obey orders with ease. Their will is enslaved by their creator, who requires that all who fight for the Republic unquestioningly carry out any, even the most incomprehensible or cruel orders. But what if the best warriors are those on whom such a chip does not work?

“Star Wars: The Bad Batch ss 2”: release date, announcement

The sequel to the captivating animated series “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” was officially announced in August 2021. It is planned that viewers will see the new episodes on January 4, 2023. This is quite expected, because the high ratings of the season 1 indicate the success of the project.

Plot

The Imperial Warriors dislike Clone Force 99, led by Captain Hunter. They are called “Bad Batch”, but the squad members themselves are not worried about it. The percentage of operations of the 99th squad is 100% and this is the best indicator among the rest. Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair and Echo are the ones that make up this group.

One day they receive order 66, as a result of which innocent people die. Realizing that he may disobey orders, Hunter decides to see if the others are capable of it. It turns out that they can. Only Crosshair does not like the fact that the orders of the imperial commanders remain unfulfilled.

Arriving at the base, the team meets a girl named Omega. She quickly realizes that the Crosshair chip is much more sensitive to the commands of his superiors and therefore he cannot resist orders as much as the others. At this time, the Hunter’s team becomes attached to the child and wants to kidnap the girl in any way. Wrecker even makes her a separate room.

The plan comes to mind suddenly. And now, Omega is already traveling with might and main with Clone Force 99. They were recognized as deserters and if they were discovered, they could lose their lives. But few can compare with them in battle. Knowing how to perfectly disguise themselves, they can travel the world. They have friends who can help and raise a good girl out of Omega.

But plans change as the Imperials closely follow their trail. On the part of the group, one mistake after another occurs. In particular, the path is complicated by the inexperienced Omega, whom the enemies are chasing, and Crosshair, who considers it his duty to destroy the deserters, even if it is his comrades.

The girl is growing, and along with her problems are increasing. The situation of the fighters worsens, because other enemies are added to the Imperial ones. The combat power of Clone Force 99 is defeated, but they do not give up until the last. After all, they have something for which they are ready to fight until the very end. But Imperial actions are taking too harsh on the future of the Hunter and his people.
