Star Wars: The Bad Batch arrives on Disney+ tomorrow, which is fitting since May 4th is better known as "Star Wars Day." Recently, ComicBookMovie.com was on hand for the show's global press conference, and lead star Dee Bradley Baker was there to discuss bringing each member of this popular team to life in the animated series. 

As the voice of the show's five leads, it's up to Baker to get us invested in their story, and after voicing Commander Cody, Captain Rex, and the rest of the Clones since The Clone Wars began, there's arguably no one better suited to deliver this unique spin on the ragtag group of imperfect clones. 

Talking at the event, the actor opened up on what makes each of the team members unique. 

"Well, you've got Hunter who's kind of the leader of the pack," Baker started. "He's got tracking skills and smell and kind of this heightened sense that helps him gauge the terrain. Then you've got Tech who is very technically oriented. [He] always has a handheld device that he's working on [Laughs] and is super cool, super calm, and competent with all things technical."

"Then you got Wrecker who, to no surprise [Laughs] is the muscles of the group. [He's] got incredible strength. Crosshair is the sharpshooter of the group who's kind of a contrary character and quite interesting in the dynamic. And then you've also got Echo, who is a modified clone. An android clone from-from the Clone Wars episodes, who was brought on board with the Batch.

"That's the gang, and together, they are a force to be reckoned with [Laughs]," he concluded.

As we learned in The Clone Wars, each of these heroes brings something different to the table, but it's obviously going to be interesting to see how that's further explored in their own series. Baker is no stranger to lending his voice to a Galaxy Far, Far Away and arguably knows these clones better than anyone. However, it feels like he's only just started to scratch the surface with this group!

Star Wars: The Bad Batch is streaming exclusively on Disney+ starting May 4th. Check out some newly released character posters featuring each member of the team below:

Really looking forward to this one. This seems to be a true spiritual successor to Clone Wars and I love they went back to this animation style. The clone drama was some of the best stuff in Clone Wars so hopefully it will be just as good here.

And there I thought being Temuera Morrison would be a damn lucrative job these days. Imagine if he got to voice all the clones, he'd have jobs in ALL the SW shows and movies

I don't know what the Clone Wars (and, by extension, The Bad Batch) would've been without Dee Bradley Baker. He gave every trooper a unique personality and made them my absolute favorite part of Star Wars.

Temuera Morrison is a wonderful actor, but they spent no time on the clones in the films. They were fodder.
