Celebrating Star Wars Day from home? Stream “The Bad Batch,” a new animated series that arrived on Disney+ on Tuesday, along with a bunch of other programming for “Star Wars” fans to binge on May the 4th and beyond. “The Bad Batch” is a sequel and spin-off of “The Clone Wars,” and follows elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (that were first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) finding their footing in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Bad Batch are a unique squad of clones with genetic differences from their brethren in the Clone Army, as each possesses a singular, exceptional skill. The extraordinarily effective soldiers, and a formidable crew, take on daring mercenary missions while struggling to stay afloat and find new purpose, in the post-Clone War era.

Archie Panjabi, Michelle Ang, and Dee Bradley Baker, star in the 16-episode series produced by Lucasfilm Animation, and created and developed by Dave Filoni and Jennifer Corbett, the latter of whom also serves as head writer.
