[@anthonygordon9483]

Uhhh yeah you get zero points for trying to make Episode 9 make sense. Also your incorrect about the bad batch aging like clones. They made it clear in Clone Wars last season that they did not have rapid aging like the other clones. So the bad batch ages just like Baba Fett. That is why they were out outcast from other clones. Their DNA was alter and consider to be not normal. Just like Omega they were "Special" clones. little did they know they were protecting a clone that was far more valueble then them. Another give away is that Hunters hair is barely grey. During this period of time Ashoka was going by the name Fulcrum and Rex has a full head of grey hair and compared to hunter looks way older.

The facts: Those assassins in those “incubators” was a red herring just like Snoke. We all thought there was more to it after Palps was pleased. That last “portrait” shot of the 4 survivors sans Echo & with Batcher. It is Exquisite! That should be on a t-shirt! Echo cut n paste into the photo and a Tech “fade” in the background. Crosshair’s statement about Tech hit home. Echo wasn’t an original BB, but he took crosshair’s spot when crosshair followed orders. Crosshair took Tech’s spot this season and Omega saw him in a new light (broken, yet still family) and it helped Omega grow, in a myriad of ways.

All in all, great series that fealt like the Clone Wars made into a more emotional adult show, kinda like the clone wars growing as we grew older too. Only complaint is that the end fealt just a teany bit rushed, but I still loved it to death.

[@chrisblake4198]

They may find their parents, but the Order Inquisitorius is still out there (as we'll see more of in the Tales series). If we get anything, it will be a story where they connect those kids and their families with Ventress and Quinlan Vos, as they set up The Path that we learn about in Kenobi (which is a few years down the road from where BB ends).

He just got the shit kicked out of him this season and I thought this is it, he’s the sacrificial lamb. I’m so glad they all got the retirement they deserved. Wrecker was always my favorite Baddie because of his childlike personality. The scene that broke my heart for him was when they were on the mission with Fennic and it’s just him and Hunter, he’s sitting and Hunter is standing, and he looks up at Hunter and is like ‘what are we going to do if she betrays us?’ The look on his face in that moment spoke volumes about how lost they were, and how they were very much at the mercy of the universe. Just broke my heart. Hunter is so stoic but Wrecker’s fear was all over his face.

[@schanataylor2067]

I don't know about anyone else, but that ending had me in my feelings

[@DefinitelyAPerson32]

A few things I want to mention: Omega went to hug Crosshair first after the fight on the bridge, showing how much they connected over the season. In the end, it didn’t matter who CX-2 was, because he was worth the same to Hemlock either way: a few minutes diversion and a ship, with no concern to CX-2’s survival. A perfect example of how the Empire as a whole viewed the clones. Hemlock’s death kind of mirrors Tech’s. Tech is connected to the Batch through the cable, and chooses to shoot it to save them because he cares about them. Hemlock is handcuffed to Omega and uses her to prevent her brothers from shooting him. She points out that he can’t use her as leverage because he needs her alive, but he all he cares about is his own survival, and it’s Crosshair who shoots them apart, making sure he can’t take Omega with him. The fact that Omega’s one little tool was so instrumental to her escape is symbolic of the difference a small bit of hope can make. I think Omega will appear in Skeleton Crew. There was some image from the show of a jacket with an omega on it, and the skull was a symbol of the Bad Batch, so it might fit.

I'll miss this series. It was wonderful!

[@lukefantini9770]

The series was awesome, a side story that ends the "clone wars" on a positive note. Now we can see the end of the Empire. Season 3 was by far the strongest season of the show, with every episode being at least good. I think this season is up there with the best of the clone wars season. Great animated project and hope to see more.

Star Destroyer is an Imperial I-class. Victory's are smaller with some additional conning tower bits and side hanger covers. Imperial II's don't have that big X structure above the bridge.

Yup!

What did you think of the finale?

I enjoyed it and it had a fair amount of payoff from things they had put in throughout the series.

Great job covering the show for the last 3 years Ryan. Keep up the great work!

The thing I love the most about this was that they all lived. It didn't go the rogue one route and kill everyone off just because they don't appear in the followup media.

I was half hoping for Tech to be the swordy boi given the glasses-look the helmet had, but then Wrecker happened.

[@oasisgamingtv1571]

I had no problems with the finale as I thought it was perfect. They were finally happy. I would have loved if we saw how wrecker and crosshair looked when they were old. Like I said this finale was perfect to me they got what they wanted and what they were looking for the whole duration of the show it almost made me shed a tear seeing Omega leaving home and going to start a story she could call her on it was amazing. I would really love to see omega again in animated or live action because I’m sure both would be great. I really hope she gets the rank of “general” as I think it would be a way of telling hunter “I told you I was ready.”

[@PoisonIV1618]

I loved the finale so much, it’s exactly what we need. It ties into how Dave Filoni is looking into making a series based on Rex’s Clone rebellion, what we missed here can be filled in there. I also have a theory that we could possibly see Omega in the Ahsoka series. If she joined the rebellion, met up with Hera, then I’m sure they would agree to call on each other if they ever needed help. My timing might be off but I think Omega leaves to join the rebellion around the time rebels is taking place, so if she and Hera met up after that show and perhaps after the destruction of the second Death Star, then maybe we could see Hera call on her and Omega making an appearance in Ahsoka Season 2

[@AS-zl1zl]

When the batch killed scorch, notice how they didn’t put their blaster on “stun”. Meaning they were ready to throw down now and save their little sister. Before hand if they ever encountered opposing clones they always stunned so they didn’t kill their brothers. I don’t think scorch was considered a “brother”

[@robclower9606]

That was such a satisfying ending to this series!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Thank you ryan ,and doug for all the awesome breakdown for this series looking forward to seeing more to come for future ones!

[@thomashelmka6438]

The Epilogue was perfect and it would be great to see Omega in a "Where were they when" type series. Rebels, Rogue One and Andor showed us there were many Pockets of resistance across the Star Wars Galaxy. With the focus of the original trilogy being Luke/Leia/Han etc. there is lots of room to explore the adventures of Omega, Ahsoka, Mando and the role they played as the Empire squeezed his fist tight across the stars.

[@Invisiblekatana]

Ahsoka and Omega bonding over how much they care for clones would be an interesting moment.

[@spencerpalmer4961]

I thought the finale is emotional, caught me off guard, and enjoyable to watch.

[@jamesmacken1479]

A major issue I had with the writing of this episode was the fact that Echo could have technically pulled off this entire mission solo with the help of dr Karr. All the rest of the batch did was get captured and give omega and echo a reason to not leave immediately with the kids and other clones. Sure Hemlock might have lived, but at that point they did not care whether he lived or died.

[@toulamaccrue9906]

@jamwamacken1479 that and I have issues later with time jumps lol I have literally been saying this all day lol I feel that Omega showing up in another series would have had a HUGE impact and have an epic moment. Plus I feel like them under the tree talking was perfect and was heartfelt the conversation with Hunter felt redundant. Maybe if it was CrossHair we would have seen how her leaving would have impacted him. But again I just am tired of the time jumps . It's like everyone does them now and we miss the storyline in-between. . Likw the want to make sure the tie this story up and no chance to revive it lol

[@chrisblake4198]

I disagree, all 3 groups were wheels within wheels. Shifting Hemlock's attention and dividing his forces at key times. The Batch out in the jungle allowed Echo and Omega to move more easily inside, which allowed Omega to create her diversion, which forced Hemlock to activate his kill squad, but they were occupied by catching then guarding the Batch. If any of those diversions had been missing the remaining groups would have been caught and the entire thing would have failed.

[@jamesmacken1479]

@@chrisblake4198 the released Zillo beast provided more than enough distraction for Omega and cut the path for their escape. Dr Karr provided more than enough cover for echo, to the point where Echo got into the literal vault with hemlock in the room and was not identified. The batch were redundant to the mechanics of the escape.

[@chrisblake4198]

@@jamesmacken1479 Agree to disagree then. I feel if not for the distraction outside, there would have been too many troops in position and alert inside the base for Echo to move around or for Omega's escape to work.

The Batch knew Hemlock had to die, it was the only way Omega would have ever been able to be truly safe.

Small detail in the epilogue, when she sits down you can see she also brought the doll Wrecker had originally given her. Another way her brothers will always be with her!
