What fans can expect from the Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 finale?
In Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3, the idea of cloning to help resurrect Emperor Palpatine on Mount Tantiss is primarily explored. The young clone Omega and her genetic material are to be included in the Empire's plan to construct a clone vessel for the Emperor, as revealed in the episode Shadows of Tantiss.
Season 3's ending and Omega's fate were revealed in 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The Rise Of Skywalker gives an idea of how this season will probably end.
Omega is necessary for Palpatine to create Force-sensitive clones in this season, making her the prime target for the Empire. However, given that her DNA doesn't seem to be used for Palpatine's resurrection, this suggests that season 3 won't conclude with Omega as an Imperial prisoner.
The question is, what it would take for the Empire to give up on Omega? The only probable answer to it is that they are made to believe that Omega is dead. That may happen if she perhaps stages her death. This may be a possible spoiler but that doesn't make the possibilities any less.
Also, talking about Rex's armies, they have been expanding in The Bad Batch. When he discovered Mount Tantiss' location, Rex stated in Infiltration, that he would require a large enough force to overrun it. Rex is joined solely by Gregor and Wolffe when he returns to Rebels.
It's possible that by the end of The Bad Batch, these three Clones will be the only members of Rex's army. Rex would undoubtedly be persuaded to leave the battle and relocate to Seelos to spend his remaining years in peace if he lost his brothers and fellow troops. As the season ends, the likelihood of a disastrous outcome for the Republic's now-defunct clones grows.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 episodes one to seven are available to stream with a Disney+ subscription.
