User blog:The Dark Lord of the Sith/Reviving "The Clone Wars" - Episode 1, "The Bad Batch"

So my "Reviving The Clone Wars" blog post has received a bigger and more positive reception than I anticipated. I can't thank this Wiki's community enough! Anyone who wishes to join this project need only contact me on my message wall. Now, to business:

It is time to begin working on our version of Season Seven of The Clone Wars with the planned, yet unproduced, episode called "The Bad Batch." The description of the episode is as follows:

Clone Captain Rex reluctantly takes charge of a squad of experimental and highly unorthodox clone commandos called "The Bad Batch."

The episode's "fortune cookie" or moral is, "The best defense is a strong offense."

And with that, we have everything that Lucasfilm staff have told us about the episode. Now, it's our turn to turn these little snippets of information into the first full-length "episode" of a four-part story arc. The first step is to flesh out a complete story that has a beginning, middle, and end. Then, in accordance with what is planned for my "Reviving The Clone Wars" project, a script can be written, storyboards and concept art can be made, and perhaps a YouTube video featuring a read-through of the script that is made in a similar fashion to this video can be released.

Let us begin fleshing out a concept for this episode in the comments section below. The events that must be included in the story are as follows:
 * Anakin Skywalker leaves Rex in charge of "The Bad Batch."
 * Rex reluctantly embarks on a mission to the planet Anaxes with the Batch.

So we need to figure out the following, in addition to everything else:
 * Why does Anakin leave Rex to lead the Bad Batch by himself?
 * Who are the members of the Bad Batch (they are all-new characters)?
 * What is going on on Anaxes that is so important that Rex and a bunch of clone commandos must go there?

The next episode we will be fleshing out once this one is done is "A Distant Echo," in which Echo is revealed to be alive and he joins Rex and the Bad Batch on their mission.
