Echo is the one I remember most.... but this gets into how Bad Batch "ruined" the neat little hidden detail where we see a Clone squad's entire lifespan, coming together as a team and being grounded into nothing over the course of the war, one of countless small tragedies that go unremarked upon by our main heroes. Echo being alive and getting his own spinoff is like, well, seeing that one domino somehow still standing after the rest have fallen.
Yeah, I thought that the Sisters were the most bland, unexciting, annoying characters and/or arc that I've ever watched. I liked the Bad Batch bit, though, so this makes me somewhat excited.

Interesting, I do think they should keep the TCW style since the tone will probably be similar and they already have the assets to use as a base, including the Bad Batch themselves as well as the Imperial assets seen at the very end of the last episode. Though I guess we still don't know how long after ROTS this takes place and over what duration.
This is honestly my biggest concern. The decline in animation quality from TCW to Rebels was such a downgrade I'd not like to see repeated. Hell, I feel like the Bad Batch should have an even grittier style if I'm being honest. The whole premise of the show is almost melancholy.
The look of Rebels suffered from being a budgeted Disney XD series (same deal with Resistance), but hopefully following after TCW S7 and The Mandalorian, we can start seeing them continually pushing the high budget look with that Disney+ money.
New trailer! Looks like an even bigger refinement of the TCW season 7 animation, because this looks amazing.
I'm still not sold on the Bad Batch as characters. I thought they were overdone, especially the big guy, but maybe being in their own show will give them time to mellow out and define themselves more as characters? I wish they'd taken this opportunity to give them unique voice. I will forever love Bradley Dee Baker for his clone trooper portrayals, but I really don't like how he's basically just putting on overdramatic voices for each of them. Being imperfect Fett clones could've been an easy out to make them sound different. So glad the animation matches TCW style.
