Star Wars: The Bad Batch

One of the more recent of the Star Wars animated shows and running between 2021 to 2024, the Bad Batch (aka Clone Force 99) were a group of 'defective' clones; each of whom had their own specialty.

Hunter, Wrecker, Tech and Crosshair.

And the child clone Omega

With Crosshair following orders, and putting himself on the opposite side to his brothers whilst the series ran.

So, we're talking a slight overlap with "The Clone Wars" cartoon here, and the early days of the Empire just after Order 66.

When the series ended, Clone Force 99 had more-or-less settled on the planet Pabu, which is where this starts with the Clones on a mission to, ummm, 'liberate' some credits that can help them rebuild following a once-in-a-lifetime natural catastrophe.

That is, before things go sideways and they find themselves having to help fugitives on the run, said fugitives also taking them hostage ...

So, in short, this feels very much like an episode of the TV series, complete with - towards the very end - a terrifying Darth Vader putting in an appearance (think a bit like towards the end of Rogue One), luckily not against the Bad Batch.
