Star Wars: The Bad Batch returns for its Second Season with the Empire’s power growing and a dangerous but lucrative opportunity for the crew offered. Looking for a big score, for either retirement or help with the Rebellion (the Clones have differing opinions on their next course of action), the team accepts a risky mission stealing from the Empire who are cleaning out Count Dooku‘s vaults. Even a single cargo container could be the Bad Batch’s biggest score. However, things don’t go quite according to plan. Both the first two episodes focus on the heist, where the team gets separated, and then bringing the group back together (albeit without the big score they hoped for).

Following a similar story of “The Whispers of Nockmaar,” with our travelers facing the dangerous of another enemy stronghold, “Prisoners of Skellin” involve the rest of the group entering the dangerous mines of the Skellin to rescue the captured Willow (Warwick Davis) and the still quite unlikable Kit (Ruby Cruz). The episode also gives us fellow prisoner, and former soldier Allagash (Christian Slater) who offers Kit some context to the fate of her father. We also see glimpses of a freed Prince Airk (Dempsey Bryk) still trapped by the magic of his location. At only six episodes, to see the series already starting to repeat itself doesn’t seem to bode well for what is yet to come.
