We revisit Clone Force 99 with a new adventure set during season two of The Bad Batch written by Lamar Giles.
After an absence of over a year, The Bad Batch has returned. Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Omega work with Phee Genoa to find resources for a rebuilding Pabu after the earthquake and tsunami that struck the island during season two. However, what started as a complex heist mission goes more wrong than they expected, and when a secondary job complicates things further, the Bad Batch have multiple issues to handle. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are breaking down the latest Bad Batch adventure written by Lamar Giles. Join us as we discuss what worked for us and how we think of this Star Wars novel.
