This is a move from the streaming platform’s previous Friday releases for all Disney+ Originals, including The Mandalorian, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and WandaVision.

Since we know that all Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios shows from now on will be impacted by this change, one of the biggest questions for Star Wars fans is whether or not Star Wars: The Bad Batch will be moving to Wednesdays from its current Friday release schedule.

The answer, seemingly, is no. It appears that Dave Filoni’s latest Star Wars animated series — which follows the adventures of clone trooper squad, Clone Force 99 — will continue airing on Fridays until the end of the season.
The series, which debuted on May 4 (Star Wars Day), is nearing its midseason point.

During its first seven episodes, The Bad Batch has followed the adventures of Hunter, Echo, Tech, Wrecker, and young female clone, Omega in a rapidly changing galaxy.
Clone Force 99 member Crosshair joined the Galactic Empire in the wake of Emperor Palpatine’s Order 66 and his former compatriots have found themselves running from Governor Tarkin, ultimately joining forces with information broker, Cid (Rhea Perlman), who is currently sending the team on mercenary missions from her base on Pantora.

The official description of Star Wars: The Bad Batch reads simply, “The Bad Batch must find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy.”
