Wow, had no idea any of these were launching so soon.
Edit: oh, it's animated.

Are stormtroopers in the animated series as inept and useless as in Mando and the movies?

I read it 3 times, the topic title, the tweet text, and the image title, and in all 3 instances I read it as "Bad Bitch"

Can someone remind me in regards to The Bad Batch and Order 66:

Spoilers for Clone Wars/Rebels/Bad Batch
do we know if they had inhibitor chips, functional or not? I don't think it was ever covered, so I'm assuming this show will. Same for Echo.

Looks great! Any idea how many episodes it is?
No episode count has been disclosed.
Is there any more context for the show? lol
It's a spin-off from The Clone Wars, following the clone squad called "The Bad Batch" after the event of Clone Wars/Revenge of the Sith, in the early days of the Empire.

I don't think we know. I'd assume they all did have them, but whether they were functional or not is the bigger question.

Oh wait, so are these guys good guys or bad guys? lol

We don't really know yet. But they're the protagonists of this series.

My (purely speculative) guess is that they will be positioned as good guys somehow/break away from the Empire. But we'll see.
It'd be kind of depressing if they spent the whole show basically being evil bastards I suppose.

So this is another story of "bad guys" turned good guys, meh I'm still waiting on a show that actually focuses on an evil character that doesn't involve any kind of redemption.

This actually looks pretty cool. Basically a Republic Commando TV series?

Also, those droids gave HK model vibes. There was already HK-87 in The Mandalorian, I wouldn't be surprised if those were HK-77 or something like that. Although they at the very least should be elite droids and not die by their dozens so hopefully not.

I'm gonna need a video game adaptation of the series. It looks like super fun third person shooter anyway.

Hopefully they'll explain what happened to the other Clone Commanders after Episode III, like Cody, Rex, Fox and Bly.

We don't really know right now. But also, we are now in the Disney era of Star Wars so I wouldn't be surprised if that is always how it will go. "The Acolyte", from the sound of it, is also meant to be a villain-centered show, but we know essentially zero details about it, so if that ends in redemption too, I wouldn't be surprised.

I mean if this is about that turn from the Republic to the Empire, and the eventual decommissioning of Clone Troopers in favor of Storm Troopers, that's a really interesting period to explore
