‘The Bad Batch’ Season Three Trailer & Release Date Revealed!
At long last, a new trailer for the third and final season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, which will premiere on February 21st on Disney+, has been revealed. Check it out below,
The season will kick off with a three episode premiere on the 21st of February, with new episodes following weekly until the series finale airs on March 21st. The full schedule of episodes was also revealed, with multiple weeks seeing two-episode releases. The official Star Wars social media accounts shared a helpful graphic showing when new episodes will be released.
One of the big reveals in the trailer was that Asajj Ventress will be appearing in the final season. Fans who’ve read Christie Golden’s novel Star Wars: Dark Disciple, which was based on unproduced episodes for season seven and eight of The Clone Wars, likely raised an eyebrow at this given that Ventress’ fate is seemingly addressed in the novel. In a statement to StarWars.com, Bad Batch executive producer Brad Rau spoke to these concerns.
“We love Asajj Ventress. She’s a character that we’ve been wanting to tell more stories about,” Rau said. “We don't want to spoil anything, but want fans to know that any new storytelling with Ventress will align with the events of Star Wars: Dark Disciple.”
