It's bonus episode time! Here's our Calgary Expo 2024 MandaLore Live show! We had great fan interaction this year, and if you were there, thanks for coming out! The unfortunate thing is the audio for the fan questions didn't come out that great as there wasn't a good mic picking up the room so it's very quiet. We have done as much as we can to increase the volume of it, but hopefully you can tell from our answers what was asked or said. Enjoy the bonus content as if you were there!

The end is here. The Bad Batch has come to a close. An emotional conclusion to a three season journey. It is always hard to say goodbye to a show that really gets to you. One that has characters you fall in love with. And the Bad Batch was just that. A found family of brothers, a sister, and all sorts of adventure. But there's sunlight in the sky, instead of a broody, overcast day, as the team survives their final battle...and completes their last mission. Save Omega. Save their brothers. And stop Hemlock. It all worked out ok in the end. And so maybe we don't bid farewell, maybe it's see ya later instead...as we watch Omega fly away to join the rebellion as a pilot. While Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair get to enjoy their retirement on Pabu...always at the ready...for when Omega may just need their help...one...more...time.... Send in your thoughts to the show!

The penultimate episode of the final season for the Bad Batch. It's always tough to get through this one as you know it's almost the end. We get all the setup we need for the finale as the team makes it to Tantiss to find Omega, but they're split up with Echo stuck on the inside having to disguise himself as a Storm Trooper, and Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair crash to the surface with Rampart in tow! The finale is next, and the series will wrap it all up. What happens to the team? Who survives? Who gets rescued? And where do they go after all this is over? These are the questions we hope to get answers to when it all comes to a close... Send in your thoughts to the show!

Things are ramping up and getting very tense around here! Yet again following some of the best action thriller movies to bring us our story! Holy intense, edge of your seat build up this week, as we wait with baited breath to see if the Batch can make it to that shuttle that's headed for Tantiss! It's a nailbiter, Mission Impossible style, and doesn't let you breathe for those final moments. Meanwhile, Omega is planning her second escape "Toy Soldiers" style as she rallies the kids to get ready after she finds tunnels behind her cell wall!  We're down to two episodes left after this week....and then it will all be over. Where does the Batch go from here? Do they survive this mission? We'll have to wait and see... Send in your thoughts to the show!

It's all about action this week as the Bad Batch goes looking for information on Tantiss and where the Empire is keeping Omega. Meanwhile, Hemlock is glad to have her back, and immediatly begins more testing and sends her to the prisons cells with the other kids. It's not looking good fans! Can the team ever find where she is? Send in your thoughts to the show!

How does a Jedi slip into the darkness? What are the reasons? When does one lose such control that revenge is all they can feel?  These are the stories of two women pulled to the darkside. Very powerful women.  Tales of the Empire explores the demises of Morgan Elsbeth and Bariss Offee in the next collection of short stories. Send in your thoughts to the show!

The galaxy is a lot darker tonight.... In Identity Crisis, The Bad Batch goes into some gloomy territory with the stories of this double episode, as we see just what Hemlock is up to in his experiments. Kids are being kept as specimens, used for their blood and treated like lab rats.  Emerie Karr gets promoted to Chief Science Officer, and finds out what Nala Se was working on...or who rather once she gains access to the vault. She isn't comfortable with the situation, but feels powerless to do anything. Moving into Point of No Return, we are met with the most tense episode yet, as Pabu is invaded when the operative finds out where Omega is hiding! He brings a full assault on the peaceful island and will stop at nothing to capture her.  Things do no end well, as we see the team fail in keeping Omega safe, and once again she becomes a prisoner of Hemlock. How will the team find her now? Send in your thoughts to the show!

She's BAAACK!! It's all about Asajj Ventress this week, as one of the greatest characters in Star Wars makes her return, and gets tangled up with our team as she delivers some intel on why the Empire would be after Omega. Through some training, we see a new relationship develop between Asajj and Omega, and trust is formed after witnessing Asajj use the force to calm down a massive sea creature! The team also learns that they can't really handle a single force user, no matter how good their fighting skills are, and it's a humbling experience for them! Asajj Ventress is back. And it's the best thing we've seen in a long while. Will she be back for more? OR was this a lead off into a possible new series for her, or maybe even the next Tales of the Jedi? Fingers are crossed this isn't the last we see of Asajj! Send in your thoughts to the show!
