Star Wars animated series The Bad Batch is back for its third and final season, with all signs pointing towards a blockbuster swan song for the close-knit group of atypical clones.

As teased in the season 3 trailer, these concluding episodes will see the squad still reeling from the loss of their brother, who was killed in a confrontation with Grand Moff Tarkin at the end of the previous run.

In an interview with StarWars.com, exec producer Brad Rau discussed the twist's impact: "It affected a lot of the logistics. The very mathematical logistics of how we normally would have the team operate was massively different without Tech there.

"But emotionally, the most important part, the way that the loss of Tech affected Omega, Hunter, Wrecker, Echo and Crosshair, even throughout the whole season was... definitely very heavy."

Another element of the show that has caught people's attention is the shock return of The Clone Wars favourite Asajj Ventress, who can be seen with a striking new look in the aforementioned trailer.
