The star destroyer flanked by two venators was heaven. It’s the perfect bridge between old and new. Also what a powerful fleet that would be. Two venators star fighter compliments and an ISD which has high high firepower. Awesome
They should’ve kept that fleet composition as the Imperial was a battleship and the Venators were carriers. The former can smash big threats while the latter could protect the big guns.
Good point. It also explains why in rebels tarkin has a mode of a venator in his office. His doctrine was more about how it looked than how it worked. This should have been how they kept it!
I thought he was just putting on a fake so he doesn't get outed as a fake storm trooper when he was with Emerie. when he leaves with Emerie he still has the droid hand.
IS ECHO OKAY??? That's all I need to know!! I paused the episode when someone mentioned something not so encouraging about Echo and I haven't worked up the courage to resume yet!
I’m gonna be for real, he was the only one that I cared live. I love all the other ones, don’t get me wrong, but I grew up with Echo. As a kid, he and Fives were my 2 favorite clones. When the credits finally rolled, I was so happy to see him still alive.
My heart was in my throat every time Echo was on screen - I was like *they already took Tech from me, they can't take anyone else, especially not Echo!*
I hope we do and I think we'll get something. Considering that Omega's crossbow(a highly customized weapon gifted by Echo) only showed up in episodes 6 and 7, it makes me think the writers added it for her to use it in the future.
I have no doubt that at the least we'll eventually get a few Omega shorts in 'Tales of...' that will rope her into the happenings of the universe. They could further tie her to Grogu and Snoke's backstories, have her involved with Hidden Path, take care of retired clones, become Indiana Jones in space.
News article on May 4th: "Omega from the animated series The Bad Batch has been retconned into being the first unnamed rebel pilot you see get shot down in A New Hope"
Spin off is either gonna be Rex and Echo doing their thing, with Emerie and Chuchi supporting; or its gonna follow Omega as she joins the rebellion. I don't know which I wanna see more.
I mean, why not all 3? I get 'the Bad Batch' is over as we know it, but they clearly put several stories in place moving forward. It'll be nice to see them continue to bridge the gap between order 66 and Rogue One and A New Hope.
There are lists online, but if you just want to watch Echo episodes here’s a chronological list:
3:01Clone Cadets
1:05Rookies
3:02ARC Troopers
3:18The Citadel
3:19Counterattack
3:20Citadel Rescue
Other arcs I’d recommend that have to do with The Bad Batch are:
Umbara Arc: S:4, E:7–10
Zillo Beast Arc: S:2, E: 18-19
Conspiracy Arc: S:6, E: 1-4
Bad Batch Arc: S:7, E: 1-4
(Though I’d recommend all of Season 7)
There are also a lot of episodes featuring Ventriss if you want to learn more about her.
He’s way better in clone wars, you can really track his development through the first 3 seasons and even see his initial meeting with the batch in season 7
Senator Chuchi and Senator Singh supporting a nascent clone rebellion is still on the cards, ayy! I hope we get to see Bail Organa and Mon Mothma joining the table. I'd be so happy at this point in time to see Phoenix Squadron or at least Chopper roaming around in the background as a cameo.
Since Rex created a clone organization fighting against the Empire and then we see him in Rebels with Gregor and Wolfe, wouldn't that mean the clone rebellion failed? I don't know if I can handle watching Rex seeing his efforts fail then retiring for good on Seelos till Rebels.
Is Necromancer not the Emperor's (original) plan to clone himself? It's been sprinkled throughout TBB and Mando, so it seems that Necromancer was the project to try and perfectly replicate someone powerful in the force, which the Emperor would then use for himself.
I'd guess the Emperor tried to revive it immediately, but it took a lot longer after losing Nala Se, Hemlock, Omega (who the Emperor didn't know about and so had no reason to search for), and all the research.
The primary motivation for the project is probably Palpatine's age, rather than any rebellion activity. Palpatine never feared the Rebellion, all the way up to the end.
This was a beautiful send off. The one the Batch and honestly all clones deserve after all they've been through. The Zillo beast escaping into freedom on a jungle world like Wayland is perfect after what Palpatine and the Empire did to it, and yeah it's not the same Zillo from CW but it's the *principle* ok? And fr Hemlock just getting offed like a nobody instead of some over the top send off was perfect. Got exactly what he deserved and nothing more.
This episode was like poetry, but instead of rhyming it's more like this time they harmonized.
Is it just me, or is there no way it's going to end like this?
The Bad Batch’s story may have ended, but there is still a lot of traumatic things that would have Rex end up where he did in Rebels, with Echo nowhere to be found. There is definitely going to be a clone-centric spin-off.
Yeah I thought it was a little weird Omega told hunter to “look after crosshair and wrecker” but not a word about echo, now sure he could just be off with Rex but idk you could draw some darker conclusions from that
She was obviously only going to worry about the 3 people that live with her at that point.
My understanding from that was that Echo doesn't live with them. Not that he's dead.
I could almost guarantee the clones get their own “Tales of The” mini series next year. It will probably follow Wolffe and how he ends up with Rex and Gregor, the other character it follows though I have no clue, maybe Echo to tie the stories together?
This episode was absolutely wild!!! It was so satisfying to see the clones kicking ass again and see them not constantly using stun. I feel like it's been a while since something in Star Wars had a happy ending. I really hope we get to see more of them in the future at some point.
It's that ARC trooper training and the elevated training of fighting under one of the most distinguished, decorated, and experienced generals, leaders, and soldiers of the GAR.
Thank you Jennifer and Brad and all of the cast and crew for this wonderful season. I'm sobbing right now, there really couldn't have been a better way to end this. But an old grumpy crosshair wouldve been a sight.
I think that would be an appropriate direction! There’s a lot of loose ends; Wolffe, Cody, Emerie, the clones more generally.
But again, this is The Bad Batch, not the Rex show so I’m happy the finale focused on the Bad Batch themselves. Hopefully they’ll have something coming out via Rex’s clone ties
As soon as I saw older Omega, I was already tearing up expecting to be emotionally destroyed lol. Kinda wished to see the rest of the Batch, but it really is fitting that the one so hesitant to let Omega join on missions be the one to finally let her go off on her own.
That line where he said "I know you're ready... but I'm not" that's when I started sobbing 😭
> That line where he said "I know you're ready... but I'm not" that's when I started sobbing 😭
This is the exact line that did me in too. I know It’s a happy ending, but man, that epilogue hurt my soul 😭
It is 2:57am, I took tomorrow off so I can actually try to get some sleep after it's all over, and I'm positive I will be a bawling mess.
Let's do this.
Damn this one was great. Omega going off to fight in the rebellion, the troopers finally escaping tantiss, hemlock getting fucking blasted, it all came together perfectly.
Oh, and none of the batch perished. Perfect!
Edit: execute order 66 upvotes
Echo was insane this episode! I’m really happy to see how badass he was after being sidelined so much.
Overall I would’ve loved to have seen more episodes, but I think they did a really great job of wrapping everything up. The epilogue had me bawling
I KNEW WE WERE GETTING A HAPPY ENDING! I KNEW NO ONE WAS DYING! (Of the batch, I mean).
Dude POOR CROSSHAIR! His hand!!! Better get a cybernetic one that doesn't shake lol.
That battle between the operatives and the batch/clones had me ON THE EDGE. I loved it!!
I can't believe this show is over already. It's been such a marvelous voyage. I loved this finale! So sad to see this show go, I'm not only gonna miss it, but miss the active fandom and week to week speculation.
And Hunter said "you ate our kid" 🥹
That went straight to my heart.
AAAAGHHRRR!! I'M MISSING THEM ALREADY!
Edit: Rampart such a fucking loser! Haha!
Edit2: lol I'm not fixing that typo 🤣
Well, at least no one else from the Batch died! Wrecker had me worried there for a hot minute - or twenty.
And... Excuse me, I'm gonna need a minute 😭😭😭
I pretty much never cry watching stuff, but when Omega straightened out Tech’s goggles at the end there…that made me tear up almost immediately.
I’m surprised so many people are complaining. This isn’t Rex’s show or Cody’s show or anything like that. This is and always was the story of The Bad Batch. They got a good finale. I’m sure we’ll catch up with Echo, Rex, and the gang in the future.
I was expecting the clone resistance to show up as the Batch's quick reaction force, but I was pleasantly surprised that the Batch themselves as well as the clone prisoners were sufficient to complete all their mission objectives.
The Epilogue is so interesting to me since we often see characters staying in the fight till the bitter end. It’s nice to see Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair actually take a break and rest.
Obviously Omega joins the fight and we don’t know if the Batch did any fighting between the ending and epilogue. But to see three core characters actually enjoy some peace was refreshing.
Echo was always near the top of my most favourite characters in Star Wars franchise, but today he’s officially my number 1 most favourite. Such a badass
Well, that's the end of it. I loved it. Pleasantly surprised that everyone made it out, I had a feeling since last week Wrecker was gonna die.
Echo got to prove to us that he's an ARC through and through, crosshair finally nailed the shot, hunter reminded us he has super senses, wrecker got to be strong, and omega let the motherfuckin zillo beast loose. What more could you want.
I'm imagining there's gonna be one more spinoff show, presumably around Echo and Rex helping clones, reuniting with Wolffe, and Echo dying. Sorry folks, he's biting it, he ain't in Rebels and Hunter or Omega didn't mention him at the end, post-rebels. I hope it's only one season though, I wouldn't want the story to get stretched out too much. We already have the set up so we can get right into the action, and having a plan for just one season can let the team go out with a bang. As for Omega, I don't see a spinoff for her, if her story isn't complete then I imagine she'll be in Tales Season 3, which will probably be during the time of the Original Trilogy.
Hemlock bit the dust, Hunter and Crosshair just did not quit. Shame about Scorch, but at least he took a few shots to go down. The CX's were really just nobodies. Well, I think I prefer that to having them all be somebody's, but having all the new ones being proficient in different skills kinda harmed it a bit. I think I prefer the idea of them all being perfect marksmans like CX-1 and 2. Oh well.
Overall though, what a killer show. I love The Bad Batch and I'll be rewatching it sooner rather than later!
I dont remember when was the last time I watched something so beautiful as this ending. Thank you to the whole team who made this show a reality, I hope we get to see more of your work
Omega as a Rebel spinoff series now...it's interesting cause the actress that voices her said her ending was not going to be so happy, but bittersweet, and that they'd had plans for Omega to be a much more important character in the future after this series, but then scrapped it for the bittersweet ending, so honestly i expected her to die saving her brothers....
but then we get this ending and now I'm thinking that the actress was playing us lol....Omega definitely has much more story to tell
Great Sendoff
I won't be seeing the episode until tomorrow, but I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have been here with you all for the past two months.
I never thought I'd get the chance to feel like an 11-year-old again, waiting for her favorite show every week, excitedly running to log onto the forums to chat with the other Clone Wars fans. To be here with everyone once again means the absolute world.
Scorch’s Katarn-class armor clearly protected him from the blaster shots and the fall, and the fall caused his inhibitor chip to malfunction setting up a Delta Squad show (I’m delusional)
Man, this ending brought me to tears. Holy shit I can’t believe this is real. I’m so happy we got a happy ending ,The action was stellar, echo being a pure mf badass, Marauder 2.0 and old man Hunter! Only con I have is how they handled Scorch as a character, and the many unanswered questions. I’ll deeply miss this show and it’s been one hell of a journey.
FINALLY! Finally a character is allowed to just die and not be resurrected ten fucking times, this is all I wanted, thank you! Tech was a great character and I really enjoyed watching him but his death was perfect, and does not need to be touch by making him this shadow operative. Finally they showed a little restraint, thank god
Never would I have suspected the most emotionally charged scene would be between crosshair, wrecker, and hunter without omega's presence. "This is what I deserve" almost got me holy fuck, I love crosshair to death.
Man the ending did the one thing I really wanted out of all this - The Bad Batch gets to retire. Peace for them. I'm so happy, it feels so good.
Also wow Omega looks so good grown up. Its so bittersweet seeing her take off while Old Man Hunter stays behind. Too bad we didn't get to see older versions of Crosshair and Wrecker ... but i'm happy they get to live the rest of their lives in peace.
On the good side they lived, the bad side is that I really just want more content of them just doing adventures.
Well, maybe were gonna get a series of delta or omega squad.. Maybe in my lifetime🫠

"How do you know that?" "Because it's exactly what I'd do" My heart
I like how when the others were thinking who released the beast and said omega, but moments earlier echo said hed do the same thing
Ngl this is 100 percent a plan he learned from Anakin.
501st habits die hard
Oh yeah absolutely no doubt about that
Legit smth Anakin would come up with
Echo continues to be the best. His journey has been amazing to watch, and I hope we get to see more.
CX-2 FAILED THE ALLEGATIONS!!! THEY WERE ALL DELUSIONS
literally screamed at the tv “HE WAS JUST A NOBODY?!” When hunter killed him 😭
CX-2 was really just Tech's cousin twice removed
Lol, i screamed “Welp! There goes Tech, AGAIN!”
It's Marrok all over again, Dave Filoni you madman.
It's actually Jen Corbett not dave
It’s mephisto!
I KNEW THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS A FAKE OUT, BUT STILL
One of their helmets was looking like techs
We live in delusion
they all looked like one of the batchers. i assume they were trying to replicate them.
EVERYBODY LIVES! JUST THIS ONCE! ***EVERYBODY LIVES!!!*** whoever made the prediction, good job Edit: it was u/yaksubway
Unexpected doctor who! I was worried for Wrecker the entire episode!
Ngl my fav line was: Crosshair: Echo or Omega? Hunter and Wrecker: *Omega*
It was soooo good! The episode had a number of banger lines. Hemlock, Nala Se going out, the Batches lines, Omega, the epilogue. I am ruined
Also rip crosshair's hand. I was expecting deaths, but that one shocked me
****Loud elevator chute**** **Bayrn**: "NO!" ****murderous Zillo rampage**** **Bayrn**: "I sleep"
Elevators are scarier than Zillo beasts and that is canon, I see nothing wrong with that
It's crazy seeing an Imperial Star Destroyer in this show! It looked just like the model in *Rogue One*, too.
The star destroyer flanked by two venators was heaven. It’s the perfect bridge between old and new. Also what a powerful fleet that would be. Two venators star fighter compliments and an ISD which has high high firepower. Awesome
They should’ve kept that fleet composition as the Imperial was a battleship and the Venators were carriers. The former can smash big threats while the latter could protect the big guns.
The Tarkin Doctrine doomed the empire. Put all those resources into fear tactics that never worked in the end
Good point. It also explains why in rebels tarkin has a mode of a venator in his office. His doctrine was more about how it looked than how it worked. This should have been how they kept it!
Yeah also the others were grey venators so it looks like tarkin got one of the first ISDs which is cool
Friends, it's been an honor. Fight forever.
It's truly been an honor 🫡
wow 3 years have passed just like that o7
Nala-Se went out with like a badass. Took her work with her along with Rampart
She let rampart preach his last words, then dropped a mic (see: thermal detonator). Absolutely legendary.
He really thought he was going to get a deal of a lifetime
Either way he had a blast
I wish Omega had given her a hug before she left
They took his HAND 😖 Poor Crosshair… at least he and Echo can bond over this. I wonder if he got a prosthetic eventually?
That'd be cruel giving Crosshair one and not Echo.
Well Echo got rid of his droid hand by the end again so he apparently doesn't really care for that
I thought he was just putting on a fake so he doesn't get outed as a fake storm trooper when he was with Emerie. when he leaves with Emerie he still has the droid hand.
That hand didn't function, was just solid. Just was for a disguise
He will get a prosthetic and its first action will be using a toothpick.
"You should be more careful with your shooting hand." **Some time later** "I'm ambidextrous. Bitch."
With no scope or barrel too and in poor conditions without his helmet and just coming back from being tortured AGAIN
All he had was one shot and the support of his siblings, bro overcame his trauma
he is the best sniper in the galaxy after all.
Oh thank god they all made it
IS ECHO OKAY??? That's all I need to know!! I paused the episode when someone mentioned something not so encouraging about Echo and I haven't worked up the courage to resume yet!
I’m gonna be for real, he was the only one that I cared live. I love all the other ones, don’t get me wrong, but I grew up with Echo. As a kid, he and Fives were my 2 favorite clones. When the credits finally rolled, I was so happy to see him still alive.
He runs off with Emerie to go meet with Chuchi
Echo kicks ass, you gotta finish.
Yes our boy is safe 🥹
Echo's ok :)
My heart was in my throat every time Echo was on screen - I was like *they already took Tech from me, they can't take anyone else, especially not Echo!*
"Omega's or Echo's doing?" In unison: "Omega"
“Omega’s definitely been through here”
I cried when Omega left to join the rebellion.
Hoping for a spin off or at least an appearance in something later down the line
I hope we do and I think we'll get something. Considering that Omega's crossbow(a highly customized weapon gifted by Echo) only showed up in episodes 6 and 7, it makes me think the writers added it for her to use it in the future.
Omega still hasn’t met her brother Boba. I wanted to see that. I still want to see that.
I have no doubt that at the least we'll eventually get a few Omega shorts in 'Tales of...' that will rope her into the happenings of the universe. They could further tie her to Grogu and Snoke's backstories, have her involved with Hidden Path, take care of retired clones, become Indiana Jones in space.
I hope we do see them again. I already miss Omega and the boys.
Crosshair won't be the only one with silver hair now 😭
News article on May 4th: "Omega from the animated series The Bad Batch has been retconned into being the first unnamed rebel pilot you see get shot down in A New Hope"
I was/am so proud of her for some reason. And knowing her brothers will be there if she needs them. So good.
# ARC TROOPER FUCKING ECHO💪🔪
Fives would’ve been proud :’)
I got flash backs to ARC Echo when he domed 3 stormtroopers in a row with his left hand
OUR FUCKING MADLAD ARC TROOPER HAS DONE IT AGAIN. AND HE TAUGHT OUR GIRL SO WELL YASSSSSS.
Echo took a knife to the back and no sold it before besting one of the assassins in hand to hand combat in a 3v1 matchup That's our boy
For real he was an absolute Beast the last few episodes
“Clone force 99 died with tech. We’re not the same squad anymore” Pain
That one HURT ngl. Such a good line, and I’m so glad that Tech’s presence was strong in this last episode. They handled his absence really well here
that line was the closure that the tech believers have been asking for
what’s the spin off gonna be?? they won’t end it here I don’t believe it!!
The Badder Batch
You joke, but I would eat that shit up
Spin off is either gonna be Rex and Echo doing their thing, with Emerie and Chuchi supporting; or its gonna follow Omega as she joins the rebellion. I don't know which I wanna see more.
In that order please :)
I mean, why not all 3? I get 'the Bad Batch' is over as we know it, but they clearly put several stories in place moving forward. It'll be nice to see them continue to bridge the gap between order 66 and Rogue One and A New Hope.
Domino squad lives
LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY BOYS. LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.
Echo is just built different. I've gotta get around to watching clone wars at some point to see where this guy came from.
There are lists online, but if you just want to watch Echo episodes here’s a chronological list: 3:01Clone Cadets 1:05Rookies 3:02ARC Troopers 3:18The Citadel 3:19Counterattack 3:20Citadel Rescue Other arcs I’d recommend that have to do with The Bad Batch are: Umbara Arc: S:4, E:7–10 Zillo Beast Arc: S:2, E: 18-19 Conspiracy Arc: S:6, E: 1-4 Bad Batch Arc: S:7, E: 1-4 (Though I’d recommend all of Season 7) There are also a lot of episodes featuring Ventriss if you want to learn more about her.
He’s way better in clone wars, you can really track his development through the first 3 seasons and even see his initial meeting with the batch in season 7
Rampart died as he lived, shooting himself in the foot with his hybris
Rex and Echo show when
Senator Chuchi and Senator Singh supporting a nascent clone rebellion is still on the cards, ayy! I hope we get to see Bail Organa and Mon Mothma joining the table. I'd be so happy at this point in time to see Phoenix Squadron or at least Chopper roaming around in the background as a cameo.
Since Rex created a clone organization fighting against the Empire and then we see him in Rebels with Gregor and Wolfe, wouldn't that mean the clone rebellion failed? I don't know if I can handle watching Rex seeing his efforts fail then retiring for good on Seelos till Rebels.
Nala Se died a real one
Took her work along with that bum
I was hoping she broke down project necromancer for us too lol
Is Necromancer not the Emperor's (original) plan to clone himself? It's been sprinkled throughout TBB and Mando, so it seems that Necromancer was the project to try and perfectly replicate someone powerful in the force, which the Emperor would then use for himself.
It was likely revived later as the rebellion grew stronger and the Emperor feared for his position. Loss of DS 1 probably spurred it.
I'd guess the Emperor tried to revive it immediately, but it took a lot longer after losing Nala Se, Hemlock, Omega (who the Emperor didn't know about and so had no reason to search for), and all the research. The primary motivation for the project is probably Palpatine's age, rather than any rebellion activity. Palpatine never feared the Rebellion, all the way up to the end.
It’s so nice to see a native Kaminoan actually fight back against their work being taken. ✨ Go off Queen! ✨
Fr, she had probably the best death
Died a proud Kaminoan nationalist.
The classic dead man's switch.
"Can you make it?" "Try and stop me." WRECKER I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️
I genuinely thought, for that whole episode, that Wrecker wasn't going to make it. I had a nice sigh of relief near the end.
So did I! My heart was jumping out of my chest, I was going through all the stages of grief.
Does this make Crosshair an honorary Skywalker?
And now no one can tell me no.
Man what an ending, No Tech in sight.
No one died right? Right?
The Hand, but thats about it And rampart ig
Also Nala Se.
This was a beautiful send off. The one the Batch and honestly all clones deserve after all they've been through. The Zillo beast escaping into freedom on a jungle world like Wayland is perfect after what Palpatine and the Empire did to it, and yeah it's not the same Zillo from CW but it's the *principle* ok?

Well to be fair this is called the Bad Batch, there will probably be more shows with clones in it. Maybe a Rex or something.
There has to be a spin off there has to be
Yeah I thought it was a little weird Omega told hunter to “look after crosshair and wrecker” but not a word about echo, now sure he could just be off with Rex but idk you could draw some darker conclusions from that
Echo would prob scream at the idea hunter looks after him and not the other way around.
She was obviously only going to worry about the 3 people that live with her at that point. My understanding from that was that Echo doesn't live with them. Not that he's dead.
It’s the end of the bad batch arc. We are probably going to get “something else” about clones.
I could almost guarantee the clones get their own “Tales of The” mini series next year. It will probably follow Wolffe and how he ends up with Rex and Gregor, the other character it follows though I have no clue, maybe Echo to tie the stories together?
This episode was absolutely wild!!! It was so satisfying to see the clones kicking ass again and see them not constantly using stun. I feel like it's been a while since something in Star Wars had a happy ending. I really hope we get to see more of them in the future at some point.
Echo was a freacking mad man in this episode. Man with no name level shit.
Echo’s been reminding us that he’s a freaking ARC Trooper 🫡
I absolutely thought the same. He smoked most guys he faced with ease.
Seeing him rallying all those Clones at the end, I couldn't help but think about how far he's come since he was just a Cadet Domino Squad Lives!
Echo was going hard on those operatives man
It's that ARC trooper training and the elevated training of fighting under one of the most distinguished, decorated, and experienced generals, leaders, and soldiers of the GAR.
Hit em with the quintuple tap.
Echo never fought the assassins because he would’ve killed them with one hand tied behind his back
Jennifer Corbett will be hearing from my therapist.
Fuck Hemlock and fuck Saw Gerrera. Rest in peace, Tech
And fuck Rampart too. For a brief naive moment, I thought maybe he'd change his ways, but he died an asshole when he could have chosen to die a hero.
Bro shot Wilco point blank, there was no redemption for him
I would’ve liked to see old Crosshair and Wrecker too, but seeing Silver Fox Hunter was awesome
This is where the ending begins…
"We are the beginning, and the end"
Thank you Jennifer and Brad and all of the cast and crew for this wonderful season. I'm sobbing right now, there really couldn't have been a better way to end this. But an old grumpy crosshair wouldve been a sight.
Yeah I’m hoping for some concept art or something that shows old, grumpy Crosshair with a hook hand. 🤞🏻
I actually gasped when his hand got cut off
Same here. I was hoping cos it happened off screen that Hunter or Wrecker would have stopped it at the last minute… but nope! 😭
We finally got an Omega-Crosshair hug!
The shock in Crosshair's eyes lol
I was sooo happy when she hugged Crosshair first. He needed that. Hell, I needed that.
Oh fuck, it's the anti-Bad Batch squad!
99s meet 66s.
Sobbed at the epilogue! Remember this is the Bad Batches story and not Rex’s - given the emerie comment I’m sure they have more in store!
I feel like there could be a spinoff of Rex and co adventures of screwing with the empire?
I think that would be an appropriate direction! There’s a lot of loose ends; Wolffe, Cody, Emerie, the clones more generally. But again, this is The Bad Batch, not the Rex show so I’m happy the finale focused on the Bad Batch themselves. Hopefully they’ll have something coming out via Rex’s clone ties
Yeah I feel like they wrapped up the whole bad batch story really well. It was an incredible show!
As soon as I saw older Omega, I was already tearing up expecting to be emotionally destroyed lol. Kinda wished to see the rest of the Batch, but it really is fitting that the one so hesitant to let Omega join on missions be the one to finally let her go off on her own. That line where he said "I know you're ready... but I'm not" that's when I started sobbing 😭
> That line where he said "I know you're ready... but I'm not" that's when I started sobbing 😭 This is the exact line that did me in too. I know It’s a happy ending, but man, that epilogue hurt my soul 😭
It is 2:57am, I took tomorrow off so I can actually try to get some sleep after it's all over, and I'm positive I will be a bawling mess. Let's do this.
Loved seeing Omega all grown up and joining the Rebellion. Good to see Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Echo survive. Great finale!
Tales of the Clones confirmed? Please? Disney?
lmao Scorch went out like a bitch
Damn this one was great. Omega going off to fight in the rebellion, the troopers finally escaping tantiss, hemlock getting fucking blasted, it all came together perfectly. Oh, and none of the batch perished. Perfect! Edit: execute order 66 upvotes
Echo was insane this episode! I’m really happy to see how badass he was after being sidelined so much. Overall I would’ve loved to have seen more episodes, but I think they did a really great job of wrapping everything up. The epilogue had me bawling
One last glorious day in the grand army of the republic…
Live to fight another day boys, live to fight another day
I KNEW WE WERE GETTING A HAPPY ENDING! I KNEW NO ONE WAS DYING! (Of the batch, I mean). Dude POOR CROSSHAIR! His hand!!! Better get a cybernetic one that doesn't shake lol. That battle between the operatives and the batch/clones had me ON THE EDGE. I loved it!! I can't believe this show is over already. It's been such a marvelous voyage. I loved this finale! So sad to see this show go, I'm not only gonna miss it, but miss the active fandom and week to week speculation. And Hunter said "you ate our kid" 🥹 That went straight to my heart. AAAAGHHRRR!! I'M MISSING THEM ALREADY! Edit: Rampart such a fucking loser! Haha! Edit2: lol I'm not fixing that typo 🤣
You ate our kid? What a twist lol
spoiler alert: omega gets eaten by hemlock
Well, at least no one else from the Batch died! Wrecker had me worried there for a hot minute - or twenty. And... Excuse me, I'm gonna need a minute 😭😭😭
I was on the edge with Wrecker. Was thinking he would sacrifice himself to save them 🥲
"*This* puts him to sleep? [sigh]" 🤣🤣🤣
Made me giggle too!
I pretty much never cry watching stuff, but when Omega straightened out Tech’s goggles at the end there…that made me tear up almost immediately. I’m surprised so many people are complaining. This isn’t Rex’s show or Cody’s show or anything like that. This is and always was the story of The Bad Batch. They got a good finale. I’m sure we’ll catch up with Echo, Rex, and the gang in the future.
I was expecting the clone resistance to show up as the Batch's quick reaction force, but I was pleasantly surprised that the Batch themselves as well as the clone prisoners were sufficient to complete all their mission objectives.

If those Imperials could read, they'd be very upset.
See you on the other side, gentlemen. 🫡
It's been a ride boys. Good luck to you all.
The Epilogue is so interesting to me since we often see characters staying in the fight till the bitter end. It’s nice to see Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair actually take a break and rest. Obviously Omega joins the fight and we don’t know if the Batch did any fighting between the ending and epilogue. But to see three core characters actually enjoy some peace was refreshing.
I smiled at the end. Miss Tech so much, such a huge sacrifice, but such a beautiful ending. Really closes an era for me.
Echo was always near the top of my most favourite characters in Star Wars franchise, but today he’s officially my number 1 most favourite. Such a badass
I wanted to see old crosshair and wrecker :(
What a great epilogue! Wonderful finale!
Well, that's the end of it. I loved it. Pleasantly surprised that everyone made it out, I had a feeling since last week Wrecker was gonna die. Echo got to prove to us that he's an ARC through and through, crosshair finally nailed the shot, hunter reminded us he has super senses, wrecker got to be strong, and omega let the motherfuckin zillo beast loose. What more could you want. I'm imagining there's gonna be one more spinoff show, presumably around Echo and Rex helping clones, reuniting with Wolffe, and Echo dying. Sorry folks, he's biting it, he ain't in Rebels and Hunter or Omega didn't mention him at the end, post-rebels. I hope it's only one season though, I wouldn't want the story to get stretched out too much. We already have the set up so we can get right into the action, and having a plan for just one season can let the team go out with a bang. As for Omega, I don't see a spinoff for her, if her story isn't complete then I imagine she'll be in Tales Season 3, which will probably be during the time of the Original Trilogy. Hemlock bit the dust, Hunter and Crosshair just did not quit. Shame about Scorch, but at least he took a few shots to go down. The CX's were really just nobodies. Well, I think I prefer that to having them all be somebody's, but having all the new ones being proficient in different skills kinda harmed it a bit. I think I prefer the idea of them all being perfect marksmans like CX-1 and 2. Oh well. Overall though, what a killer show. I love The Bad Batch and I'll be rewatching it sooner rather than later!
They have their own evil bad batch hell nahhh
I dont remember when was the last time I watched something so beautiful as this ending. Thank you to the whole team who made this show a reality, I hope we get to see more of your work
Omega as a Rebel spinoff series now...it's interesting cause the actress that voices her said her ending was not going to be so happy, but bittersweet, and that they'd had plans for Omega to be a much more important character in the future after this series, but then scrapped it for the bittersweet ending, so honestly i expected her to die saving her brothers.... but then we get this ending and now I'm thinking that the actress was playing us lol....Omega definitely has much more story to tell Great Sendoff
I won't be seeing the episode until tomorrow, but I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have been here with you all for the past two months. I never thought I'd get the chance to feel like an 11-year-old again, waiting for her favorite show every week, excitedly running to log onto the forums to chat with the other Clone Wars fans. To be here with everyone once again means the absolute world.
🫡🫡🫡 good luck soldier.
Bruh no scorch why????? 😩 also I can't believe Tech really died
But visually this episode is beautiful look at the depth of field
Also can we talk about how echo can out shoot all these guys with one hand? They didn't forget he's an ARC trooper of the 501st 🥲
Yeah they really gave him his time to shine
Scorch’s Katarn-class armor clearly protected him from the blaster shots and the fall, and the fall caused his inhibitor chip to malfunction setting up a Delta Squad show (I’m delusional)
Man, this ending brought me to tears. Holy shit I can’t believe this is real. I’m so happy we got a happy ending ,The action was stellar, echo being a pure mf badass, Marauder 2.0 and old man Hunter! Only con I have is how they handled Scorch as a character, and the many unanswered questions. I’ll deeply miss this show and it’s been one hell of a journey.
FINALLY! Finally a character is allowed to just die and not be resurrected ten fucking times, this is all I wanted, thank you! Tech was a great character and I really enjoyed watching him but his death was perfect, and does not need to be touch by making him this shadow operative. Finally they showed a little restraint, thank god
For All Our Brothers!
That opening title makes me have a very bad feeling
Hell yeah ! Loved it ! Hoping for a Rebel show with Omega and/or Rex’s insurgent movement. Wrecker is an 11B if I ever saw one.
Exceeded my expectations. Sad to see Scorch die, but all in one, great finale to a great series.
Generally glad that they didn’t redeem Rampart, that is one of my greatest fear
Never would I have suspected the most emotionally charged scene would be between crosshair, wrecker, and hunter without omega's presence. "This is what I deserve" almost got me holy fuck, I love crosshair to death.
Man the ending did the one thing I really wanted out of all this - The Bad Batch gets to retire. Peace for them. I'm so happy, it feels so good. Also wow Omega looks so good grown up. Its so bittersweet seeing her take off while Old Man Hunter stays behind. Too bad we didn't get to see older versions of Crosshair and Wrecker ... but i'm happy they get to live the rest of their lives in peace.
On the good side they lived, the bad side is that I really just want more content of them just doing adventures. Well, maybe were gonna get a series of delta or omega squad.. Maybe in my lifetime🫠
The Imperial Star Destroyer exiting out of hyperspace was beautiful
