Wookiee Jedi Gungi will return in season 2 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
Lucasfilm
Star Wars: The Bad Batch returned to Disney Plus on Wednesday, as season 2 of the CGI animated series began with a two-episode premiere. It brings back the genetically enhanced titular clone squad introduced in The Clone Wars‘ final season, after they fled the Empire and became mercenaries.

The show kicked off on Wednesday, Jan. 4 — the first two episodes are available now — and we’ll get episodes each week until March 29. Star Wars fans’ Wednesdays will be packed in March, since The Mandalorian season 3 begins that month.
Here’s the full release schedule for The Bad Batch on Disney Plus, and we’ll adjust this if the company announces any changes or breaks. New episodes generally arrive at 12 a.m. PT (3 a.m. ET/8 a.m. GMT/7 p.m. AEST).
Yup, and more than one. Lucasfilm released the first trailer during Star Wars Celebration Anaheim last May and a second one in December.
The show occurs between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, in the early days of the Empire’s reign. In terms of animated series, it takes place between The Clone Wars and Rebels (it also happens before live-action show Obi-Wan Kenobi).
All the Star Wars movies and shows are on Disney Plus, so you can catch up as you wish.
The Bad Batch picks up several plot threads from The Clone Wars’ seven seasons, so you may occasionally find yourself perplexed when characters who clearly have long histories appear. However, you’ll still be able to follow the main stories of the core clone squad, Omega and Crosshair.
You should definitely watch season 1 before jumping into the second — there are 16 episodes, and they’re all available on Disney Plus.
