they call themselves the bad batch
The republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire!
that was quite an impressive display
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new star wars trailer for the bad batch
i'll explain how this crosses over with the events of the mandalorian in present day what's going on
with the other characters like obi-wan kenobi what's happening with grogu during this period
what's happening with ahsoka and all the other characters too if you're new to the channel be
sure to subscribe to get all the videos the mandalorian season 2 finale is going to be
happening literally in a day as i'm posting this video so there'll be a whole bunch of
stuff happening for that as well as all the other star wars and marvel stuff that happened in the
past week a lot of you have also been asking me to do a timeline video because there are so many star
wars series that they just announced especially the live-action star wars series so i'll explain
what the timeline is starting with this series but if you have no idea who the bad batch is
and you didn't watch the clone wars season seven episodes the dave filoni did this
past year i did a couple videos for that so i'll link those in the description
the bad batch is basically a group of defective genetically abnormal clones
that wound up becoming clone force 99 they call them the bad batch because they don't
look like all the other clones but their genetic differences give them a bunch of special abilities
so it's hunter the leader he's the one with the voice over at the beginning of the trailer
wrecker crosshair tech and then echo the cyborg the other clone joined them at the end of the
clone wars episodes after they rescued him but the whole thing with this series is that it picks
up immediately after revenge of the sith and they're having to deal with emperor palpatine's
new regime and the way the empire people like grand moff tarkin who's newly promoted to grand
moff he was just moff tarkin during the clone wars the way that they're using them as their
new storm troopers going around subjugating the rest of the galaxy bringing them in line
with the emperor's new wishes it's still kind of a transition phase from clones to stormtroopers
like they still have the clone armor but it's all white now like the classic stormtroopers
the armor itself won't change for a couple more years and if you watch the clone wars finale it
explains how ahsoka goes into hiding leaving her last lightsaber that anakin skywalker had given
her before he became darth vader only there's a time jump when darth vader shows up it's several
years later and they fully transitioned to the new imperial classic armor from the original trilogy
so the bad batch series sort of takes place in between those events and i'll talk about the other
series in a second too this is also the period where darth vader and the inquisitors has started
to hunt all the jedi going around so for instance the events of jedi fall in order sort of cover
that vader going around hunting down the remaining jedi when they start popping up all that stuff had
been happening for the past couple of years when that picks up so this will cover some of that
one of the places that they go back to during the trailer is the cloning facility of camino
obviously because the clones are still very much alive during this period they haven't died off yet
when the empire was born at the end of revenge of the sith the emperor publicly stated that he shut
down the kamino facility but secretly we know that's not the case he just started conducting
his cloning experiments in secret to learn how to clone himself and since a lot of that is
happening on the mandalorian now i'll talk about grogu and moff giddy and the other characters and
what's happening with them during the events of this series but one of the other big mandalorian
crossover characters is a much younger version of fenik shan you see her in that same armor
she's about the same age as grogu pretty close to it so she'd probably be in her early 20s when this
series is happening but ming na will be playing her character she was talking about it on her
twitter last week speaking of other mandalorian easter eggs you notice those giant droids that
the bad batch is fighting in this trailer also look exactly like the dark troopers from the dark
forces video game just painted white it should go without saying that dave filoni is the showrunner
of the bad batch series in addition to all the stuff he's doing with the other live action series
like the ahsoka series the mandalorian series so you can kind of see their grand plan to set
up a lot of easter eggs and hints for things that we'll see in the other live-action series that are
coming later in the timeline or that are happening right now like on the mandalorian but there are
other tv shows that will debut in the next couple of years that take place right after this as well
like the tentacle creature here that they're escaping from looks very similar to the creature
from the mandalorian that ate grosgu in his pod during season 2 episode 3. the mandalorians during
this period had just taken back the planet mandalore from darth maul Bo Katan had become
regent right at the end of the clone wars after they got rid of him in the shadow collective
but what happened during this period is that she resisted imperial rule the emperor had her deposed
and replaced with gar saxon who became his new puppet and if you remember all of darth maul's
former mandalorian super commandos the maul deloreans that had the horns on their helmets
they became imperial super commandos basically the same thing just serving at the will of the emperor
so we'll also see Bo Katan also probably ahsoka show up during this series a little bit as well
too right now when this is happening ahsoka is about 17 18 years old and she's gone on the run
she's in the outer rim hiding out for a hot minute but eventually bail organa finds out where she
is and brings her into service of the rebellion in its early days mando would be a couple years
younger than ahsoka but he's still a teenager in training with the death watch the children of the
watch mandalorians during this period right when this is happening after revenge of the sith he's
already taken his oath and put the helmet on grogu would be in his early 20s so you have to
picture an even tinier version of grogu and this is the beginning of the period he said where his
memory goes dark after the mystery person rescued him from the jedi temple before anakin skywalker
killed all the other younglings in order 66 press f in the chat to pay respects for them
eventually they'll reveal who that mystery person was on the mandalorian series but there are some
solid theories so far the reason his memory went dark is most likely because whoever saved him used
the force ability to wipe out or block people's memories and they just erase those events from
grogu's mind that's not a light side or a dark side force ability necessarily any jedi can learn
to do it but it's very advanced so it wouldn't have been any random jedi that could have done it
during the events of this show moff gideon is still a young officer in the imperial security
bureau and thrawn hasn't quite become an admiral yet but he's quickly rising through the imperial
ranks in the early days after the clone wars he became an admiral faster than pretty much anybody
in the history of the empire you remember that we have a couple mandalorian spin-off series that are
going to be set during the same time period coming up in the next couple of years we have the ahsoka
series with rosario dawson's ahsoka and then we have the rangers of the new republic series about
all the x-wing pilots all the characters from the mandalorian and those other new series that they
introduce will cross over and eventually build up to a big crossover event where grand admiral
thrawn will be the main villain but we'll see grand admiral thrawn before that like a really
big epic battle in a couple years they haven't said too much more about it than that they just
said that they will build up towards that event also during this period darth maul escaped at the
end of the clone wars so right after revenge of the sith he also goes into hiding and is
rebuilding his power base back up in the crimson dawn crime syndicate so this series takes place
right before the events of jedi fallen order which is about five years later calcestus finds
the jedi holocron with the names onto the other jedi manages to save it from darth vader then
you have the events of solo a star wars story where darth maul resurfaces then right after the
events of solo you have the events of the obi-wan kenobi series where hayden christensen is coming
back to play darth vader and for anakin skywalker flashbacks that's about 10 years after the events
of revenge of the sith then a couple years after that you have the events of star wars rebels then
after that you have a new hope luke destroying the death star at the battle of yavin then nine years
after that sort of skipping over the events of the original trilogy mando finds grogu and you have
the beginning of the events of the mandalorian series and then about a year after that during the
mandalorian season two we pick up with ahsoka tano the events of her new live-action series will take
place during what's happening right now in the mandalorian hopefully that kind of explains what's
going on i believe the bad batch episodes are supposed to premiere sometime in the first half of
next year i think they'll be eight to ten episodes in season one i don't know how many seasons
they plan on going maybe four to five seasons there was a bunch more footage that dropped so
i might try to do one more trailer video before i do my mandalorian season two finale video that'll
