“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” Season 2 Trailer Finds Our Rogue Clones in Trouble

The first trailer for season two of Star Wars: The Bad Batch is here, and our favorite clone mercenaries are in a bit of trouble. The crazy part? They’re not being hunted or attacked by any galactic goons, stormtroopers, or Sith Lords, but rather, some very large, very angry extraterrestrial crabs.

Such is life for a member of the Bad Batch, and it’s a life that Star Wars fans have loved to get to know. The second season picks up months after the events on Kamino in season one, with our rogue clones on the run from an increasingly powerful Empire after the fall of the Republic. As the Empire grows stronger and more ruthless, for the Bad Batch to survive, let alone thrive, they’re going to have to grow and change with it. Season two promises more adventure, bigger heists, and greater stakes as the Empire looks to strengthen its hand and crush anyone stepping out of line. And that’s precisely what the Bad Batch were born—er cloned—not to do. Yet what makes them special is the very fact that they’re fighting back.

Check out the trailer for season two of Star Wars: The Bad Batch. The series returns to Disney+ on January 4.
