The Bad Batch is described as a unique squad of clones who are different from the Clone Army: each member of the Bad Batch has a special skill that makes them effective soldiers.

“In a daycare far, far away… but still in Springfield, Maggie is on an epic quest for her stolen pacifier. Her adventure brings her face-to-face with young Padawans, Sith Lords, familiar droids, Rebel scum, and an ultimate battle against the dark side, in this original short celebrating the Star Wars galaxy.”

Disney is also inviting us to take a “virtual vacation” by flying through some of the most iconic locations seen in Star Wars movies, including Hoth, Tatooine, and Sorgan through the Star Wars Biomes series.
