It's weird how a finale can make you sad, yet you're 100% satisfied with it 😢! This finale was epic!

Zillo Beast is free! Clones are free! The children are free! The Batch are free! What a rousing success.

I’m glad they let echo fight more this final episode showing why he’s still an arc trooper

Tech was never that clone assassin 😂. I’m content to leave it that he died in season 2

Hardcase, Fives, and Tech didn't die for nothing

I’m glad it ended with almost all theories about their fate wrong, and it came to the best conclusion possible:)

Techs glasses sitting on the console really hit home. What a good show.......❤️

Goodbye Bad Batch, the best sequel show the Clone Wars ever 😢!

I love how Crosshair lost his twitchy hand, and made the shot with his left hand.

Idk if you guys heard the line because you were chatting during it, but after the Batch see the Zillo, the best line in the show is Crosshair asking, "Echo's handiwork, or Omega's?" And without hesitation, Hunter and Wrecker both come back with, "Omega's." I laughed out loud; they know their girl.

Seeing adult omega and old man hunter felt so weird but also amazing, hopefully omega survived through the war.

It was not Tech, lol - it was just another clone as they had pretty much told us all season. I'm glad it wasn't, too - his sacrifice wouldn't have been as impactful BUT he lives on through Omega and they kept his spirit and memory alive throughout and I'm glad for it. Great finale; so emotional and bittersweet and the Kiners were killing it as usual with the music. Also, super happy that the Zillo Beast got a happy ending, too, lol! Can't wait to see if there's more in store. 🙂

The animation for the bridge scene in the rain was incredible, honestly what a finale. Loved Nala Se going out the way she did too

37:58 That was fucking epic! Finally, seeing a Venator and an Imperial Star Destroyer next to each other. Something that never happened before!

05:30 Kyle: "that's as traditional Star Wars as losing a hand" Me ... Uh huh ... So about that 👀

Gonky probably talked Omega into joining up...Dude was always looking for a fight. GONK!

To paraphrase Kyle - this gives us Clonesure.

Satisfying is the perfect word for this finale. Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL ending.

An ISD in Clone Wars animation. Now we need Boba (Alpha) and Omega to meet. Brother and sister.

They got to grow old and LIVE 😭🖤🤍 my heart…I love this show

when they were breaking out I was just yelling: "ONE WAY OUT, ONE WAY OUT, ONE WAY OUT!!!"

The combat in this episode was particularly brutal, there was a lot of straight up kills, amputations, and lots of quadruple tapping and headshots, it's certainly not a kid's show anymore. also ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION OF A HYPERLANE! THE BATCH LEAVES THE SYSTEM ON THE SAME HYPERLANE TARKIN ARRIVED ON! AND AN EARLY EMPIRE MIXED IMPERIAL I AND VENATOR CLASS FLEET, I FUCKING LOVE THE ANIMATORS BRO

now someone needs to spot adult Omega's ship in the shot of Rise of Skywalker "there's more of us" :D

26:18 that’s what I said, each of the 4 mirrors someone from the original bad batch. The green sniper CX is Crosshair, the red goggle one is Tech, the big brute one who uses a shield to get closer is wrecker, and the last one is Hunter

I was satisfied with this finale. I liked the fact Tech wasn't brought back, doing so (I feel) would have ruined his sacrifice at the end of last season. Looking forward to more adventures with adult Omega in the future. I can see her and Hera reuniting and teaming up. Also, GET F""KED RAMPART! 🤣🤣

Man, how did you guys miss the fact that Tarkin's flagship is chronologically the first ISD we've seen? Also Karr's glasses aren't glasses, they're some kind of HUD thing. That's why she's not wearing them at the end anymore. I also think Filoni is just intentionally trolling us at this point with all the cool villain helmets. Like "Stop assuming a character is someone you know just because they wear a cool helmet. We're not going to do that every time." I desperately want the next show to be a rebellion era series with Luke, Han, Leia, Omega, Hera, Rex, Echo... Give us all the heroes fighting the Empire. Cross over all the things!

This was such a good season! And I cannot believe we actually got a happy ending!

The Shadow Trooper might have been made with Tech's DNA... but he was never him. Tech had his noble death at the end of season 2. As we learned in this series, in addition to Clone Wars, and even Rebels, the clones are individuals. They might share the same donor DNA, but that doesn't define who they truly are. Great reaction to a fine series. I'm already missing it. I also look forward to the future, and what it holds.

We needed a post post credits scene of them paying a “visit” to Sid

Can we all acknowledge that this episode was one of the most beautyfull piece of clone wars ? Lignthning, rain, smoke, events.

adult omega looks so much like tech it makes me so emotional

Hemlock's death is one of the most satisfying deaths in the Star Wars universe.

Hear me out, next show could be something called Tales of 99 which could be animated shorts that talks about all the Bad Batch plans and tactics from 1-99 and it would take place before Bad Batch season 1 and in between Bad Batch season 7. This way people will still be happy to see the Bad Batch and we'll see all 5 members interact each other more which is something we rarely saw.

Next series will most likely we’ll get an Omega/Hera reunion.

Absolutely phenomenal finale. Perfect and safe. Safe and perfect. Omega for rogue squadron movie !!! I balled when she said she was joining the rebellion.

We all have been looking forward for this

It was sad to say goodbye but also happy we didn't get the tragic ending we were all dreading. I was wondering where Star Wars animation can go after this. Now knowing Omega joined the Rebellion and Project Necromancer restarts, I'm thinking a Pre-Mandolorian series would be interesting.

Gotta give Hemlock credit for taking those shots like a champ lol

Pantora becoming a hideout for clones is amazing I’d like to see more of riyo chuchi’s fight for clone rights with Dr Carr

Omega is such a chaos gremlin and I LOVE IT.

"That's just as traditional in star wars now as is losing a hand" the unintentional foreshadowing is off the charts 👀

loved the end and that Hemlock and Rampart got their comeuppance

“Did he just get Jamie Lannistered?” Classic

LOVED this finale! I’m so happy Crosshair survived all this!

You see a yellow armed clone commando towards the end and considering how durable commandos are its assumed by some fans that scorch survived the fall

Kinda glad we never got complete clarity on project necromancer or just who exactly was the operative. I wasn't disappointed at all and it's okay with me, leaving some mystery to it can allow it to be revisited later or have something else tied to it or a cause of it in the future which makes sense. Let the fandom do what they want with it, that is how you keep fans and make new ones

rewatching it makes me cry cause yeah she DID always believe in Crosshair which makes it so amazing.

Thank you to the creators of The Bad Batch!! We all miss and love this show to the fullest!!

Best friends, I WAS NOT READY FOR THE HAPPY ENDING! I sobbed at the shot of all four of them sitting on Pabu, then just kept sobbing through Omega leaving after.

Great finale, and a nice way to leave things open for future projects. I'd love the next project, possibly animated, to be set immediately after Return of the Jedi and before Mando/Sequel Trilogy. Loads that they can still do with that time period, and Omega would be a great perspective character to do that with.

I'M SO HAPPY WITH HOW THEY TIMED THE BAD BATCH FINALE AND THE RELEASE OF TALES OF THE EMPIRE.

Crosshair being the one Omega hugged first is what finally broke the floodgates for me. Feelers of unworthiness unite!

I was so scared for another rogue one moment when they jumped away from tantiss that tarkin would pop up right before like vader 😭

Some of the best Star Wars, and a fantastic arc for Omega. I love that she already had the kids out and was wreaking havoc by the time her brothers arrived. Between Bad Batch, Andor, Kenobi, Rebels, and Rogue One, they have well covered the period between III and IV. It looks like Tales Of The Empire is also taking place in there.

I'm crying, the ending is very emotional

I'd love a show in the same animation style that follows Rex and Echo and their whole clone crusade thing. It still feels like there's an entire story that hasn't been told that takes place between this and Rebels.

Clicked on this SO damn fast! So sad to see the end of an era, but have loved, loved, loved watching along with you both! Here's to what's coming next. May be force be with you, always ❤❤❤❤

Bad Batch ends with an epilogue scene, just as the Clone Wars did. *~chefs kiss

Worthy finale for an excellent series.

I'm wondering. Do you guys think that Crosshair got a new hand, or he can't, because if you pay attention, the clone assassins seal his hand, so he like remains with one hand only.

”Hello there Tarkin your sexy imperial beast!” 😂 KyleKatarn se1ep1. Best comment of the series. Always a pleasure watching your reactions. See you in tales of the Empire

The show, via Hemlock, literally told us there wasn't really anything left of Tech other than his glasses. That's what happened in the plot. He had no motive to lie. Falling from a great height causes cells to rupture, blood vessels break open, brains to stop functioning. Hemlock's not a Loki like mischievous character who'd say someone's dead when he's really captured and turned, he's a dick who likes to gloat about his enemy's losses. It's what he repeatedly does. Gloating about something that's a lie isn't him.

36:20 One thing to note, Scorch’e helmet lights were still active. The other Commandos we’ve seen die have their lights deactivate when they die. The hits didn’t kill him, but the fall is bound to.

I love that they made sure to make hemlock actually sound worried throughout the episode. its especially obvious when he talks to tarkin.

I love the shot of the Imperial Star Destroyer flanked by the Venators. A real ‘transition’ from Clone Wars Era to Empire Era visual.

bendu was so amazingly on point at 14:21 lol

The final was kind of what I expected. The rescue just seemed a little too easy for my taste. Kyle really nails it with his predictions.😆

That Imperial Star Destroyer was nice to see.

Hera: The Bad Batch, Season 1 - "Well copilot, we didn't do too bad." Omega: "Do you have to go?" Hera: "For now, I'm sure I'll see you around." How about either Omega joining Ahsoka Season 2 as Hera's wingwoman, or an animated show of Omega and Hera as copilots set during the original trilogy?

The zillo beast escaping gave me such a vibe of the Coruscant attack of the Zillo

From Mon Mothma openly recruiting pilots to join their cause to the Rebellion that Luke joined, there's the gap for where this final scene fits into. Personally, I think this is right around the Jyn Erso/Saw Gererra timeline. The shadow operative with the red goggle-looking eyes was definitely Tech, but no longer Tech. Hemlock told Hunter, "If you survive, you'll make a fine operative". Tech survived, and made a fine operative.

Nala Se’s death worked in part because it wasn’t a complete moral turn - she was ALWAYS loyal to Kaminoa, including committing atrocities to advance their science, fulfill their contracts, and protect their secrets - and she died killing the guy who destroyed their civilization and keeping Kaminoan science out of the hands of their enemies.

I keep coming back to this channel every few years, watch Star Wars stuff with you guys then dip, glad to see it still going strong. Until next time

Enjoyed the reaction/discussion and your "crash & burn" predictions. Overall, I loved and was satisfied by the finale.

There's the possibility of Omega running into Saw Gerrera , it's not impossible for Omega to cross paths with the Ghost crew or she could encounter established leaders like Bail Organa and Mon Mothma. The Mandalorian ( season 3) and Ahsoka take place around the same timeline.

@jetblast190 6 hours ago (edited) Five things I really liked: 1. Rex didn’t show up with the Calvary, they stayed true to the show’s name and the Bad Batch was the Calvary. 2. Rampart stayed true to himself, an opportunist (they didn’t try to make him a hero). 3. While I knew Crosshair was going to make that shot, I still felt a great unease that he could miss…great buildup to that tension. 4. They didn’t make Omega force sensitive, at least I see nothing that suggests it. She’s a capable pilot trained by Tech and the rest of the Batch. 5. All the rumors and speculation that Tech had survived to become a Clone X were thankfully wrong. Tech died a hero’s death…Plan 99! What I’m still missing: an explanation as to Cody’s fate.

Y’all see the ship Omega left on in the end? That means she’s involved with Hera Syndulla in some way!

Hemlock went out like Hans Gruber from Die Hard. 🤘 Bravo fellas 👏👏👏👏 Glad we got to experience this series for a couple of years. Those last 5 minutes got to me. 😢🥹

Omega’s gonna meet up with Hera & the Ghost squad in either the next animated show or possibly Ahsoka Season 2 👀‼️🙌🏼

Damn, Bendu went CRAZY with the Tarkin prediction

I had a gut feeling while watching the episode that we'd see an ISD finally make an appearance. No surprise that it's with Tarkin

Bring on the solo adventures of Omega!

I am happy with this ending and cried. A beautiful closure for now to a fantastic series! Our Omega grown up is beautiful and a force to be reckoned with. I hope she reconnects with Hera. ❤

I love how Hemlock was the last kill ever in this series. But this was a great finale. I'm hoping Rex & Echo get a show of their own and how it leads to Rex's retirement in Rebels

"Project Necromancer" has major Sauron vibes. Mount Tantiss is the Star Wars equivalent of Dol Guldur.

BEST SERIES EVER!!!! MY GOSH! had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Omega is such an amazing character 😢. Love your reactions. Felt like we got to watch the whole series with you two!🎉 I also love how they all new whether Omega was behind the chaos or not😅 "Echo or Omega? OMEGA!" 😊

I'm glad they let tech stay dead. Too many sacrifices get undone these days. Bold choice. I also like the way you never really know about the brainwashed clones. Maybe they killed Cody? Maybe they didn't. It gives them more mystery. I am assuming tantis will stay sealed until heir to the empire.

Such a satisfying finale. So that last scene is obviously left up in the air as to exactly when it happens, but we can make some inferences. Omega looks to be at least in her late teens or early 20s, so definitely hasn't been the 19 years or whatever when ANH happens. Hunter is older and more grizzled, but he's more salt n pepper rather than silver fox like Rex, Gregor, and Wolff are in Rebels, another thing that points to this being pre-Rebels and certainly pre-OT. This could be as far back as around the time of Kenobi, if you consider that one 501st bum on the street he looks to be about the same age as Hunter is here. I don't know if I'd solidly put it around the same time as Kenobi took place, but somewhere between there & Andor/Rebels/Rogue One. It's probably closer to then but maybe a little ways before any of those start, there's like a 5-10 year gap it fits in well. We know Kenobi doesn't really have any formal Rebellion in that time period, and of course Andor & Rebels show us that they're forming but not cohesive enough yet to really be openly looking for combat pilots until basically the end of Rebels and then Rogue One. The CX clones were inconsequential road blocks. It's Marrok 2.0, all over again. Mystery characters don't need to be someone we know, just let it go. There's something there with the goggle helmet, but I seriously doubt he was meant to be Tech. Like if we were to get leaked asset information I doubt the character sheet says "Tech CX Variant" for that model. That was purely done to feed the rampant online speculation. Do yourselves a favor and look up the "Too Many Cooks" skit from a couple years back, it's a rip on a bunch of 80s & 90s sitcom opening credits combined with slasher horror films and it's hilarious.

Wonderful and emotional final! Greetings from Germany❤

What went down for the clones between this and Rebels remains a frustrating mystery. Rex is actively working with rebel cells and moving clone refugees to protect them etc, but by Rebels he’s disillusioned and off the grid. Things must have taken a really bad turn (presumably involving Echo’s death?)

The point of the shadow operatives is like how Rex explained, they had their identities removed. Them being unknown is their character.

I'm so glad none of the Batch died. Except Tech then😥 I want to see more. Many believed that it would not be good without deaths. I don't understand that. I am very glad that they all seem happy. My favorite Hunter survived and is old ❤

I think the next show will focus on the Clone Rebellion: What happened with Rex, Gregor and Echo now when they are off fighting for their clone brothers. What happened to Cody. How did Wolffe finally join Rex? And we will for sure see Echo die in that one as he's not around when we meet Rex, Gregor and Wolffe in Rebels. Beyond that this episode certainly set up for something featuring Omega in the rebellion.

I will never understand why certain elements of the fandom wanted Tech to be alive. He had an incredibly potent death and him being alive wouldn't have added anything to the story, only detract. In addition him being somehow salvaged into CX undermines both the Batch's central motif and Tech's final words, "When have we ever followed orders?" From the opening of the first episode, they were the ones not following orders, somehow turning Tech into a dedicated obedient soldier makes zero sense at every level of storytelling. For all the people that hate what the series did for Scorch, it feels hypocritical for them to want some total perversion of Tech.

I was so relieved to see this ending!! It made me so happy!

Nearly spit my drink out when I saw the ISD. Couldn’t wait to see reactions to that little scene

Rampart really out here discovering instant karma

I'm glad that they're all survived!

Rebel pilot omega reminds me when her and hera talked about becoming pilots in season 1 episode 12

The republic commando fans got the bad ending
