Why The Bad Batch Season 3 Needs A Longer Ending

Close

Star Wars: The Bad Batch is a spiritual successor to Star Wars: The Clone Wars, continuing the story of the clones into the Dark Times after the end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. This means there have been a lot of different plot threads to tie together, ranging from the aftermath of Order 66 to the fate of the clone army. To the surprise and delight of viewers, the story of the young clone Omega has been tied into Palpatine's resurrection experiments.

Omega is the key to Palpatine's Project Necromancer, for her genes hold the secret of being able to successfully implant midi-chlorians within a clone - thus allowing the Emperor to transfer his consciousness into a clone body and conquer death. Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 has seen Omega captured and taken to Mount Tantiss, a secret Imperial facility on the planet Wayland, and Clone Force 99 is desperate to rescue her.

The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever Before

All this means the stakes are higher than ever before for Clone Force 99. The group is already diminished after Tech's death in Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 2's finale, and they will not allow one of their own to remain a prisoner of the Emperor. Now, at last, viewers can see whether the heroes succeed in their mission to rescue Omega from the Empire - and what price they pay.
