Whilst the trailer doesn’t give away too much, there are still a few exciting snippets. We see Emperor Palpatine in full swing stating to the galaxy that “It is time for the new era.” Another interesting aspect of the trailer is the addition of the Wookie Jedi student ‘Gungi’ who is seen equipped with a green lightsaber, it will be intriguing to see what his role will be in the new season.

Regarding the plot when speaking with The Convenor Call, composer Kevin Kiner hinted that fans we’ll get to a slightly older Omega in The Bad Batch Season 2. The fact that the female clone is slightly older in season 2, suggests there may be a bit of a leap in the time since the first installment.

We are expecting to see all the major characters from the last season return, and the other expecting cast includes Dee Bradley Baker, Michelle Ang, Rhea Perlman as Cid, Noshir Dalal, Gwendoline Yeo, and Stephen Stanton as Admiral Tarkin, Ben Diskin, and others.
