Star Wars: Every Upcoming Project Ranked By Anticipation

9. The Bad Batch

While all the upcoming animated Star Wars projects are worth looking forward to, it's hard to hold a candle to the sheer potential of The Bad Batch -- especially seeing as how we've already got a trailer.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch will follow some of the galaxy's most unique characters yet: a squad of Clone Troopers with genetic mutations. While we already got our first taste of the Bad Batch in the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this spinoff brings all-new possibilities with it.

For starters, The Bad Batch will be the first on-screen project set in the immediate aftermath of the Clone Wars. While Solo and Rebels take place further down the road, The Bad Batch will offer a canonical look at the salad days of the Galactic Empire -- making it the perfect follow-up to Clone Wars.

The new animated series will also tie-up loose ends from its predecessor, such as the Kashyyyk arc, and feature a few familiar faces, including The Mandalorian's Fennec Shand.
