Where The Bad Batch Are At The End Of The Clone Wars
Clone Force 99, also known as the "Bad Batch," has taken the Star Wars universe by a storm ever since their introduction in season 7 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The team of elite operatives with favorable genetic mutations (Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker, and Tech) also welcomed fan-favorite clone trooper Echo into their ranks, turning the group into an unstoppable five-man squad.

Hera Syndulla Rumored To Replace Gina Carano's Cara Dune In 'Rangers Of The New Republic'
A lot has been happening with the Star Wars franchise on the live-action television front. Following the success of The Mandalorian, Lucasfilm announced last December that there would be several more live-action shows coming to Disney+. A few of the shows are essentially spin-offs of The Mandalorian: Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and Rangers of the New Republic. Out of these three, the latter is the biggest question mark, as it does not include a character name in the title.

Bo-Katan Actress Wants To See This Certain Mandalorian Make A Live-Action Cameo
On the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian, viewers were treated to appearances by characters from other Star Wars media, including the realm of animation. With characters like Bo-Katan Kryze and Ahsoka Tano making the transition from The Clone Wars to the live-action front, or even Cobb Vanth jumping from the pages of the Aftermath novels to the screen, the franchise has proven that almost no character is off limits. We even got to see Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker in the season 2 finale (results of which have gotten admittedly mixed reception). Fans who have read or watched other Star Wars media feel rewarded, while newcomers who get interested in faces who are newer to them become curious and want to dig through the Star Wars catalog to learn more.

How A 41-Year-Old Muppets Show Spoiled ‘The Empire Strikes Back’
The Muppets and Star Wars have more in common than you would think. 3D CGI was not a thing in 1980 when Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was released. So, to create the strange, cool, and interesting creatures and characters, Lucasfilm had to use puppets…or more accurately, Muppets.

Kamino: Chapter 2
We walked down the low-lit hallways in the darkest hour of the night. Shaak Ti had thoroughly explained her suspicions to me and I tried to wrap my warped mind around the concept of this conspiracy. Shaak Ti believed the inhibitor chips were a danger to the integrity of the Republic, that there was something hidden deeper within them that could trigger all-out anarchy amongst the clones. I was now aware of the effects the inhibitor had on my brain, it kept my thoughts suppressed and took away any individuality that could occur in the cloning process. However Ti believed that the chips were faulty, and if not faulty, they were designed for darker purposes than the Kaminoans let on.
