I never watched this show as it aired, so I didn't have to wait too long to go right into this after finishing season 6. I can see why so many were hyped and why so many were satisfied with this premiere episode. The animation has come a long way since even the last few seasons. Rex was always one of my favorite characters in the entire show so making him essentially the main character won be over right away. I also found this 'Bad Batch' very interesting and charming (although Wrecker's yelling did annoy me a bit).
All in all, great episode.
