What To Expect From The Bad Batch Season 3
Season 2 of The Bad Batch ended with the death of a member of Clone Force 99 and Omega being captured and held in Mount Tantiss.
It was there in the Weyland facility that Omega found Crosshair and learned that one of the doctors, Emerie Karr, is also a clone and her sister.
The Season 3 trailer confirmed Omega's Clone Force 99 family will be looking to save her, but it doesn't look as if a rescue happens right away, meaning Star Wars fans may finally learn more about the Empire's cloning experiments and the connections to Grogu and The Mandalorian.
The trailer also revealed the return (resurrection?) of Asajj Ventress, a former Clone Wars villainess, with fans speculating how she will either help or impede the clones.
Audiences are likely to learn more about Season 3 and how Lucasfilm intends to bring the series to a close in the coming weeks.
The first three episodes of Star Wars: The Bad Batch premiere on Wednesday, February 21 on Disney+.
