The moment fans have been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived – Lucasfilm has officially confirmed that the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 is happening, and it’s slated for release in 2024. However, bittersweet news accompanies this announcement as it was also revealed that the upcoming season would mark the end of the show’s run.
Ever since the show first premiered on Disney+ in May 2021, The Bad Batch has captivated audiences with its compelling storylines, unique characters, and high-quality animation. The series follows a group of elite clone troopers – Clone Force 99, also known as the “Bad Batch” – who boast unique genetic mutations that set them apart from their clone brethren. Set in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, the show explores the formation of the Galactic Empire and the impact of the changing galaxy on these rogue clone soldiers.
The Bad Batch is a spin-off of the popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, and has continued the legacy of its predecessor by providing fans with an immersive and exciting exploration of the Star Wars universe. Its creators have managed to strike a balance between the familiarity of the original series and the freshness of new characters and stories.

Lucasfilm and Disney+ have remained tight-lipped regarding the specifics of the upcoming season, but it is anticipated that the third season will continue to focus on the core group of characters – Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Omega – as they navigate the treacherous galaxy and struggle to find their place in the ever-shifting landscape of the Star Wars universe.
With the confirmation of the third season being the show’s last, fans can expect an emotional and action-packed finale to this beloved series. Showrunner Dave Filoni, who also worked on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, is known for delivering satisfying conclusions to his animated series, and fans are hopeful that he will bring the same level of craftsmanship and storytelling to the end of The Bad Batch.

Filoni’s work on the Star Wars franchise has been praised for its ability to expand the universe in a way that resonates with both casual viewers and die-hard fans alike. The interconnected nature of his animated series has allowed for a deeper exploration of the lore and the characters that inhabit the galaxy far, far away.
With the end of The Bad Batch in sight, it is also worth speculating on what might come next for the animated Star Wars universe. With the recent success of Star Wars: Visions, an anthology series that showcased the work of various anime creators, it is clear that there is still a strong appetite for new and innovative storytelling within the franchise.
While it is undoubtedly sad to see The Bad Batch drawing to a close, there is a sense of excitement about what the future may hold for Star Wars animation. As the franchise continues to expand, there is little doubt that more stories and characters will be introduced, capturing the imaginations of fans and newcomers alike.
For now, though, fans can look forward to a thrilling and bittersweet conclusion to The Bad Batch when it returns for its final season in 2024. Be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, as the series wraps up the story of these unique and beloved characters, and embarks on a last adventure through the captivating world of Star Wars.
