Der vierte Mai ist ja ein offizieller Nerd-Feiertag für alle »Star Wars«-Fans (ich sag nur: »May the 4th be with you«), und Disney+ nutzt die Gelegenheit und zeigt ab heute die neue »Star Wars«-Serie »The Bad Batch« (heute kommt eine siebzigminütigen Premierenfolge, danach geht es immer freitags weiter).

Die Serie schließt an »Clone Wars« an und berichtet von den Abenteuern einer Einheit aus fünf Klonen, wobei das eine oder andere bekannte Gesicht schon im Trailer auftaucht. Ich werde auf jeden Fall mal einen Blick riskieren …

 

Check out the brand-new trailer for Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: The Bad Batch,” an original animated series launching exclusively on Disney+. “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” makes its debut on Tuesday, May 4, with a special 70-minute premiere, followed by new episodes every Friday starting on May 7.

 

“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch—a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army—each possess a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew.

 

“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” is executive produced by Dave Filoni (“The Mandalorian,” “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”), Athena Portillo (“Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars Rebels”), Brad Rau (“Star Wars Rebels,” “Star Wars Resistance”) and Jennifer Corbett (“Star Wars Resistance,” “NCIS”) with Carrie Beck (“The Mandalorian,” “Star Wars Rebels”) as co-executive producer and Josh Rimes as producer (“Star Wars Resistance”). Rau is also serving as supervising director with Corbett as head writer.
