The Bad Batch stumbles into a leftover thread from the Clone Wars that makes them question what exactly is Emperor Palpatine up to.
They may have escaped a remote mining world in the Outer Rim, but the Bad Batch still needs money to survive in a post-Republic galaxy. Therefore, they reluctantly agree to another job with Cid despite her failure to help them when they needed it. However, the job she gives them is not the simple cargo scavenging job she suggested it might be. No, instead they find a crashed ship with a missing crew and a dangerous creature on board. This episode has ties to The Clone Wars, The Rise of Skywalker, Legends, and so much more and is a cannot miss episode. Join us as we break down the details on this episode of Podcast Stardust.
