New year, same old Disney+ streaming strategy: Add a bunch of fairly obscure older series and movies while stringing along subscribers with that sweet, sweet franchise content. In this case, that means lingering episodes of National Treasure: Edge of History and Willow and the launch of a new season of Clone Wars spinoff Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
Admittedly, I do not watch this show (nor any of the franchise’s animated offerings), but it looks pretty darn fun. At least, this is the first time I recall seeing giant crab monsters in the Star Wars universe (but only because I have blocked all memory of Attack of the Clones from my mind). Regardless, if this is your kinda thing, I have heard this show is aces, so I’m sure you’re happy to see it return.
Here’s everything else dropping on the service in the first month of (gulp) 2023.
