Okay, Bad Batchers, it’s finally here!
I came home from work last night and the internet was abuzz with the long-awaited new trailer for Season 3. The show premieres on Februray 21st with three, count ’em, three episodes. Woo-hoo!
Here’s the trailer if you haven’t seen it yet:
I don’t normally break down trailers, but let’s talk about this, because I’m super-excited.
We see a lot of familiar faces returning here: Phee, Rex, Fennec Shand, Cad Bane, Hemlock, of course, besides the Batch, which seems to be made up of Hunter and Wrecker at this point. I didn’t see Echo at all, but maybe he’s on Coruscant helping Rex and Riyo Chuchi? At one point, and you’ll miss it if you blink, it looks like Crosshair is in a vehicle with Hunter-or at least someone in Crosshair’s armor. So maybe he somehow escaped Tantiss, and now they’re going back for Omega?
We see Omega at one point passing Crosshair on Tantiss (and he looks quite defeated), Omega in a room being scanned somehow as she’s holding a tray or something, and Omega looking fierce as she pilots some kind of ship, perhaps.
We see another one of those weird assassin clones that we saw in Season 2, and I was soooo scared it might be Tech, but then we see the guy without his helmet talking some poo-doo, and he looked just like the reg clone from before. Whew! But then, at least he’d be alive. Or it could just be trailer trickery…at any rate, we’ll have to wait and see how that debate turns out.
It seems that lovely Pabu finally sees the arrival of Imperial troops. But I’m not worried–Shep told Hunter that if they do come, they’ll be ready. I believe the mysterious Arkium holds the key, but again, we’ll see.
The biggest and most shocking surprise is at the end of the trailer, when we see none other than Asaaj Ventress make an appearance! She’s clearly in her Light-side form, as seen in the novel Dark Disciple, with her blonde hair and yellow lightsabers. Readers of the book may well be confused, because in that book-spoiler!-she dies, at least several years before the events of this series. But I trust that the writers know what they’re doing, and I’m pretty excited to see her in the show. All will become clear.
Needless to say, I can’t wait for February 21st. We even have a list of episodes and their air-dates:
What do you think of the trailer? What are your hopes for Season 3? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
Star Wars and Other Obsessions 
It seems Disney are trying to pull another “Palpatine” bringing Asaaj back – they “kill” a character off then leave that person out of sight and just before we all forget about him/her completely Disney reveal “Oh look Asaaj/Maul/Palpatine are back, they didn’t die after all”.
About the only glimmer of hope is that Qui-Gon and Tech get “resurrected too! 🤔
(And back to reality, I just hope the website I watch SW animations on gets season three as well).

Yeah, they seem quite fond of that trick, lol. As long as it makes some kind of sense, I guess I’m okay with it, especially as it may concern Tech. Qui Gon, I fear, is quite dead, lol, but there’s always the possible Force ghost appearance! And I do hope you get to watch S3, it would be fun to discuss with you.
