A fun if not particularly distinctive The Clone Wars extension. Built around a small band of renegade clones, the Rebels-like feel doesn't break the mold, even if its characters did. Go to Full Review Jarrod Jones AV Club 05/04/2021

The Bad Batch is rendered by mood and mirth, infused with as much pathos as the best installments of the series and dashed with just enough spaghetti western to sate those still holding out for a Mandalorian Season 3. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Guardian 05/04/2021
