A third and final season???!!! www.starwars.com/news/swce-2023-the-bad-batch-season-3
The Bad Batch panel was for me the best panel shown at this Celebration. Engaging panelists, both the actors and creators, talking about their and each others’ work openly, with emotion and love.
For anyone who missed it, it can be be viewed here at the official Star Wars YouTube, at 64 minutes into the video:

I have to take a bit of issue with this wording. Animation always seems to get looked down upon as an “inferior” medium, and although it’s totally fair for someone to prefer one over the other, neither animation or live action have any bearing on the quality of a story. They’re simply the vessel that brings that story to the audience.
I have to take a bit of issue with your statement as I’ve compared this to live action a few times. Feel free to point out where I’ve said animation is inferior. To be clear, and I believe I’ve stated this before, I originally became interested in this series because of the animation. For Christ’s sake, I’m watching and enjoying a series that exists in the Prequel world.
You don’t have to be on here for very long to know I’m not familiar with the prequels and don’t know who most of these characters are or what the story is. I just know the Bad Batch characters and I’m enjoying this show. When I say this feels like live action, I mean the depth of characters and the quality writing.
Before you go off half-cocked on that being an animation slight, it’s fair to point out that there is no shortage of animation that’s light on depth. The same can be said of some live action entries; Book Of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian season three being a couple of examples.
I could make this same post on the Visions discussion because it applies there as well. I had little interest in it as advertised (wasn’t an Anime fan) and it ended up being the animation that drew me in and depth of characters that kept me involved.
I apologise to both you and Juno Eclipse if I came across as condescending, I definitely felt the phrase “live action standard” implied the best that animation can do is be on par with live action content which didn’t sit right with me, but it’s true animation has built up a bit of a reputation for lighthearted stories. I can see where you’re coming from.
No apology is needed, jedi_bendu. We’re all fans of the series in here. And much of Star Wars animation too. It is your posts in the Rebels thread that has persuaded me to give it another chance all these years later.
And I hope that third and final season of Bad Batch is up there on a par with what we’ve seen in season 2! 😃
