- This week, "Star Wars" sends a chill up our spine with "LEGO
Star Wars Terrifying Tales," we get
a pocket sized R2-D2, and more.
Aw!
What now?
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, I guess we're doing the show in the dark
unless I can find the droids to override this power outage.
You better come with me.
Just look at him.
Ooh!
OK.
That's just Wrecker.
He's a friend from work.
It's OK.
All right.
Yes, finally.
Hey, guys.
Cool.
I'll just leave a note attached to your head, I guess,
for when you come back online and then you can fix this?
I'm just going to go back, back into the set.
Yes.
Oh man.
Those droids are so good.
Let's get to the news.
We're only two episodes away from the season finale
of "Star Wars: the Bad Batch."
But good news, Omega fans.
Today, we learned that "Clone Force
99" will return for a second season coming in 2022.
So hyped!
And things are heating up as the Empire firmly
takes hold in the galaxy.
Less hyped.
Last week, we were reunited with Gregor in the all
new episode "War-Mantle."
We first met this Clone on Abafar
in the season five arc of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"
that introduced Colonel Gascon and his droid squad.
After recovering from a case of amnesia,
Gregor was back in action, but we now
find that after Order 66, he was tasked with training
his replacements in the super secret War Mantle Project that
phased out the clone army and brought
about the TK stormtroopers.
While Rex called the Bad Batch in
to help save this clone compatriot,
they have a whole retirement planned and a lot of Joopa
to catch.
Things got tense on Kamino as the Empire
canceled the cloner's lucrative contracts
and put an end to Lama Su's reign.
Did not expect that.
What will happen next?
Find out when the next episode drops tomorrow only on Disney+.
Earlier this week, we got our first spine tingling
look at "LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales"
with an all new poster.
Set to premiere on Disney+ on October 1st,
join Poe Dameron and BB-8 as they make an emergency landing
on Mustafar, where Graballa the Hutt is
building the first ever all-inclusive
Sith inspired luxury hotel?
You heard that right.
Actually, it sounds like a place I would totally stay at.
While waiting for their X-wing to be repaired,
we'll all be entertained by three scary stories told
by Vader's loyal servant Vanee.
Count us in.
For a full list of the cast, which includes Christian Slater
as Ren and Tony Hill as Vanee, creep your way
to starwars.com/thisweek now.
Our dreams of traveling around with Artoo
are about to come true.
Soon, you can take care of a pocket
sized R2-D2 with this brand new Star Wars Tamagotchi
brought to us by the original virtual pet brand.
Oh 1997, we would never believe this.
And let's be real, you'd also probably forget
to feed the little guy and leave him languishing in the drawer.
But 2021 Kristin, she would never.
Not only is this pint-sized R2-D2 adorable and sporting
the authentic Tamagotchi egg shape,
but you can also train your R2-D2, take care of him
by keeping him charged, teach him 19 skills, unlock
seven mini games, and more.
Oh, and believe us, you will want to keep him happy
or those Jawas get their grabby hands on him and take him away.

to check out all the details, including
how to pre-order your very own.
We can thank Nala Se and her science
for helping bring the clone army to life.
But in our galaxy, we have to thank
actor Gwendoline Yeo for giving Nala Se her
hypnotizing, dreamlike voice.
- Come, Omega.
There is work to do.
- So we asked Gwendoline to tell us
all about creating the sound of this unforgettable "Clone
Wars" Kaminoan and her new role as maternal caretaker.
- I don't know, when I just saw the picture of her and her
dinosaur like ways, an erect spine and her tongue
and little lips, I don't know, I just got connected with her.
It was completely bizarre.
When "The Bad Batch" came back around,
I had no idea that they were going to bring back Nala Se
and in such a really, really cool manner,
in terms of showing her vulnerability.
- Omega was rescued by the same clones
I encountered on Pantora.
- As long as she is not in the hands of Lama Su, she is safe.
- I won't lie, I was definitely tense about it.
But I think that's who she is.
These Kaminoans are so stoic and pensive.
To still be able to show protectiveness
and some maternal instinct, but still staying within species,
yeah, it took sort of like a collaboration with Dave Filoni
and Jennifer Corbett and Brad Rau, and the whole team.
I think because the writing is so brilliant
and that the storytelling is so clear and truthful,
I think we were able to find the pocket with her.
- Thanks, Gwendoline.
That's it for this week.
