Okay, okay, so the Bad Batch is done. Finished. Kaput. And yeah, the finale kinda wrapped things up in a neat little bow, didn’t it? Omega joins the Rebel Alliance, ready to fight the good fight. Cue the inspirational music, roll credits. But, like, is that *really* it? Are we seriously never gonna see our girl Omega again? I call shenanigans!
Look, the internet is buzzing, right? Everyone’s got an opinion. Some folks are saying, “Nah, that’s it. Her story’s told.” To them I say, are you KIDDING me? This is Star Wars! Nothing is *ever* truly done! Plus, she’s a pilot now! How many pilots do we NOT see again in Star Wars? (Besides…well, you know…).
I mean, let’s be real, Disney+ is a hungry beast. They need content. And what better way to milk that sweet, sweet Star Wars cow than to bring back a beloved character like Omega? You KNOW some writer somewhere is already brainstorming ideas for a spin-off or a cameo in, like, Ahsoka season 2 (if that even happens – let’s not get started on *that*).
Plus, think about the timeline, people! Omega joining the Rebellion puts her smack-dab in the middle of the Original Trilogy era. We could totally see her popping up in Rogue One flashbacks (though, admittedly, that might be a *bit* depressing). Or, heck, maybe she’s flying alongside Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Endor! The possibilities are, like, practically infinite.
And it’s not just Omega, either. What about Echo? He’s got that rebel vibe going on strong. I could totally see him being a key player in some clandestine operation somewhere. The others? Hunter, Wrecker, even Crosshair (okay, maybe Crosshair’s story is *really* done, sob), they’ve left their mark on the galaxy. Their influence has to be felt somehow, even if we don’t see them directly.
Honestly, the whole thing with Project Necromancer being so tied into Palpatine’s return in *Rise of Skywalker* kinda irks me. It makes the Bad Batch feel… I dunno, like a footnote? A prequel to a thing we already know happens? But that ALSO means there’s room to explore more of that dark science and the lingering effects it had on the galaxy. And who better to do that than someone who was actively trying to stop it? (Hint: Omega)
