This way, new Bad Batch fans might become Clone Wars fans, and maybe even Rebels fans, and so on.
This may ultimately be the point: One of the reasons Disney keeps making new Star Wars content is to steer audiences toward its old Star Wars content.
It’s just that most of what made that story resonate was tied up in the show that came before it. Bad Batch, the first new Disney Plus Star Wars animated series, stands on its own well enough, given how it takes advantage of a much smaller cast of characters and a dramatic status-quo shift to give it a fresh start and tell a single story newcomers can follow. One of the biggest problems with the first season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch is that it feels a lot like The Clone Wars’ latest one.
