What happened in Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 1?

The first season of The Bad Batch kicked off as a rift emerged within the titular clone squad – comprised of Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair and Echo – amid the backdrop of the devastating Order 66.

Only the cold and calculating Crosshair was willing to carry out the sinister directive, which equated to the systematic execution of the Jedi Order and their allies.

As a result, the other four members of the team abandoned him to his new Imperial overlords, taking a young female clone named Omega under their wing as they fled their homeworld of Kamino.

Over the course of the season, the group would become mentors to Omega as they escaped various deadly threats, including attacks by their former comrade Crosshair.

However, there is some hope of reconciliation in the future as the two-part season finale saw Crosshair save Omega's life during a catastrophic incident in Kamino's Tipoca City.

Who appears in Star Wars: The Bad Batch?

Seasoned voice actor Dee Bradley Baker leads the Star Wars: The Bad Batch cast, playing all members of the clone squad along with other troopers such as Cut Lawquane and Captains Rex, Howzer, and Gregor.

Meanwhile, Fear the Walking Dead's Michelle Ang provides the voice of new recruit Omega, whose survival skills are quickly developing in the hostile training ground that is the Galactic Empire.

Fans were also thrilled to hear comedy legend Ben Schwartz voice TAY-0, a racing droid that belongs to Cid.

The Bad Batch season 1 also saw cameos from notable Star Wars characters including Emperor Palpatine, Saw Gerrera, Admiral Tarkin, Fennec Shand and Cad Bane, with seemingly more to come in the sophomore outing.

Eagle-eyed fans will spot the likes of Captain Rex and Bail Organa in the season 2 trailer – watch below:
