Thx for the shoutout, Jen - coming just after viewing the finale -it's been a very satisfying day. I'm glad it wasn't a good day to die for those we were rooting for - for others, a fateful encounter with karmic justice was unavoidable. Hoping for an Omega series teeing up based on the epilogue- maybe announcing on May the 4th???

I would love an Omega series! I hope that if there is one it is animated, but would also be open to a live action one. Make her the lead in the Rogue Squadron movie!

I think a ton of these predictions are going to happen. It is crazy though. I felt this way on the last two seasons of Bad Batch. This is the first one that I am genuinely excited to get home and watch. Then again, I am a sucker for prison break stuff, so this is right up my ally. The one prediction that I disagree with is the assassin. I see why people would think it is Tech. And yah it makes sense, a lot more sense than who I think it is. But they seem to be bringing a lot of stuff back from the past to wrap things up or let us see them one more time. Like when we ran into Wolfe. So, I think the assassin is going to be Cody. We have not seen him in a long time and that is what my money is on. I would love to see him, and Rex go at it and Rex try to deprogram him. If that is who this turns out to be.

This was a great theory, for the record!

Yeah, was a bit bummed that nothing really happened with him in the finale. Was expecting a reveal of some sort all season, haha.

This maybe spoiling my review a bit, but it definitely feels like they deliberately focused on The Batch only and said let’s keep it simple. Which I liked because it was emotionally impactful. Here’s hoping we get to see more of Rex, Cody, Wolfe, etc. in another series!

Yeah, that's what it feels like. I was expecting it to feel more like an ending to the entire clone wars era. But they definitely just decided to stay focused on the Batch. I would love a series following Rex. Maybe a series that bridges the gap between the clone wars and the rebellion? Who knows, by the time I get around to doing the Bad Batch and the Clones they might already have another series announced. Star Wars just doesn't stop!

I agree with a lot of this, I think I'd move Crosshair dying to the first category though. Just gotta get through the workday so I have time to sit down and watch.

I think you’re right about Crosshair. I am just in denial 😆 I also have to wait until tonight to watch. I’m going to be so antsy all day!

Same! Also I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to see more Batcher.

Maybe I need to do a top 10 pets in Star Wars? Batcher would be up there. 💕

Just want to issue a spoiler warning here because some of the comments below this one contain vague spoilers for the finale.

With Omega's upbringing with the original Rogue clones, that would be a perfect fit! Big thumbs up for your suggestion about Omega in live action...
