That leads us to "Star Wars: The Bad Batch," an animated series immediately following "Revenge of the Sith" and the seventh season of the "Clone Wars" that centers on a group of experimental clones known as the Bad Batch. The series shows how Palpatine takes over the galaxy by leading the Republic's transition into the Galactic Empire and helps explain why he decides to form an army of stormtroopers rather than Clones.
