Publisher summary:
The stolen Republic intel sought by Clone Force 99 has switched hands! Now, the data is closely guarded by none other than fearsome bounty hunter Aurra Sing. In order to survive Aurra’s onslaught, Clone Force 99 must enlist an unsavory ally — a villain who would as soon stab them in the back as save them!

Why it matters: Ghost Agents has been a consistently fun Clone Wars-style adventure that you won’t want to miss.
Key moments:
Unexpected Allies: Introduced earlier in the miniseries, Embo makes his return. He and the Bad Batch are pushed to cooperate as their goals temporarily align.
Monstrous Assists: Stranded on an ocean platform, the crew is left to ride enormous sea serpents back to shore in a move that is reminiscent of Han Solo and the Lost Legacy.
An Epic Duel: With Aurra and the Batch hunting down the Ghost Agents, Embo and Asajj are left to duel on the landing platform.

The big picture: I feel like a broken record, but yet again this miniseries has produced a fun adventure that feels true to the tone of Star Wars animation. It was great to see all of our pieces come together and having these Clone Wars fan favorites all interact with each other. The big standout for me was the comedic dialogue. Tech and Wrecker specifically are always primed to produce some funny moments. We can’t wait to see how this series sticks the landing as paths converge on the mysterious Republic ghost agent.
Our rating: Incredible
