Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Season 2 – First Social Media Reactions

December 13, 2022 Roger Palmer

The second season of the new Lucasfilm animated series, “Star Wars: The Bad Batch”, is returning on Disney+ beginning January 4th, 2023, with the first two episodes, and new episodes will be released weekly until the end of March.

When the new season opens, months have passed since the events on Kamino, and the Bad Batch continue their journey navigating the Empire after the fall of the Republic. They will cross paths with friends and foes, both new and familiar, as they take on a variety of thrilling mercenary missions that will take them to unexpected and dangerous new places.

Disney has let some critics, including myself, have early access to the majority of the second season, and they’ve shared their early reactions on social media

Here’s my first reaction to watching some of the episodes:
