We Now Have Release Dates for All 'The Bad Batch' Episodes

Mark your calendars. We now have release dates (and time) for all 16 episodes of Star Wars: Bad Batch! Clear your Friday schedule (or late Thursday night depending on your time zone), and tune in to Disney+

The premiere episode aired on May the Fourth, just in time to celebrate Star Wars Day. Many fans stayed up late to welcome the new series. Culture Slate held a marathon podcast to geek out prior and discuss the episode after the it aired. The Bad Batch opened with high octane action, and dropped Easter eggs to the delight of many fans. The premiere left off on a slight cliffhanger, answering a few questions while leaving many other questions for fans to ponder.

Episode 2 is available for streaming now, with subsequent episodes coming out every Friday at midnight PDT, 3 AM EDT, and 8 AM GMT. Even though there will be two American holidays during the time period, Memorial Day on Monday May 31, and Independence Day on Sunday July 4 (which will be observed on Monday July 5), the episode will air as scheduled on the previous Friday for fans to enjoy at the beginning of the long holiday weekends. With schools in the United States wrapping up the school year in May-June to open up again in August-September, the series is set to become the show to watch for Summer 2021. With every episode of WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, along with Seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian now available on Disney+, we can fit Bad Batch into our summer binging plans.

The Book of Boba Fett is scheduled for December 2021 (just in time for Christmas). Work on other Star Wars shows like The Mandalorian Season 3, Ahsoka, Rangers of the New Republic, Andor, and Obi-Wan Kenobi is currently in progress, although fans can expect to see rumors and leaks throughout the remainder of 2021.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch is a sequel and spin-off to the popular television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It depicts events immediately after the infamous Order 66, and follows the story of Clone Force 99, a group of elite clone troopers with certain desirable genetic mutations that enhance their combat abilities. The show is created by Dave Filoni, known for his work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars Resistance, and The Mandalorian. While the main characters of The Bad Batch were first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it is not necessary to finish watching The Clone Wars first. Clone Force 99 only appeared in a small four-part story arc in the aforementioned series. However, if you want to catch their action against the Separatists, you can begin by watching the first four episodes of Season 7 of The Clone Wars.

In addition to the popular Clone Force 99 from The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch promised appearances from fan favorites like Admiral Tarkin and Fennec Shand. With many cameos in the first two episodes, we can hope to see more characters as the series continues.
