The Bad Batch returns in an epic final season where the squad has their bonds tested as they fight to reunite with Omega. The youngest member remains inside a remote Imperial science lab facing challenges of her own. The Star Wars show premieres February 21 on Disney+ to tie everything together for the gang as they face foes and seek unexpected allies on their mission to free themselves from the Empire.

The social media reactions are here, and they’re stirring up excitement for the final season. Here’s io9's James Whitbrook to kick things off: “I’ve seen the first 8 episodes of #TheBadBatch season 3, and it’s definitely a very strong start. Show’s finally struck a balance of weaving each episode, even ‘inconsequential’ stuff, into its wider climax and these characters.”
