The Bad Batch Omega (spoilers)

Agreed.
But here goes my 2 cents.
The first thing about this character that i find curious is her EARTHLY name.
Omega, the last letter of Greek alphabet, has a very peculiar and knowledgeable meaning from a culturaal POV. It means the end of the journey, the completion, the closure the top level you can reach , the reckoning.
I found curious this "choice of name".
In Marvel lore the most powerful mutant, is called Omega Level.
In the Book of Revelations , God calls Himself both alpha and omega, meaning the begining and the end.
So if the resoning of her name is based on the commom EARTHLY meaning of the word we can guess that either:

1- She the last clone, the end of the line;
2 - She´s the definitive clone;
3 -The Kaminoans reached the highest level of cloning perfection with her;
4- Maybe she represents the true goal of the cloning and her creation means the entire "project" has peaked and reached its goal
5 - she's superior to every clone before her.

Or it was just a very poor naming choice.
Anyway i don't think her creation is an accident ( a woman after millions of exclusevely male clones from the same donor, how awkward this sound ?) and how i pointed in Ep. 2 thread, the entire ordeal of setting her to meet the Bad Batch in the same cell and then her "scape" with them seemed to me more of a set up of the Kaminoans.
And even, for plot twist extravaganza, something that maybe even Tarkin may be involved.
In the end i think it would extremely surprising if this character is created this for this and never ever mentioned ever again or never to interact with any other character of the saga.
The main problem i have is the possibility she "takes over" the show from the Bad Batch as Grogu basicly did with the first season of the Mandalorian.

 

The name is odd in sense, it kinda suggest a possible Alpha or maybe Alpha-17 is out there somewhere yet,lol. I don't know, the character comes across already as a type of "lonely Alpha ", the lacking ambition but is already set up to subvert the pecking order. We have all these "alpha-clones" quickly forming bonds with her and basically the plot surrounds these clones protecting a special child like we saw in The Mandalorian. She appears like she's some kinda empath-telepathic type, possible Force sensitive suggestive clone or been developed to mimic such abilities in part. The Clone Force 99 program already created superhumans by augmenting & manipulating their DNA, so she to be the next step in that process - and to go beyond them is the Force essentially.

 

@nilzo antonio

I definitely understand where you are coming from. I absolutely think Omega was made to be the perfect clone, but I also don't think Omega being popular with fans means she will take over the show. She is definitely central to it however.

 

Liked Omega more than Grogu

 

Yep. Grogu literally can’t do anything well at least say anything or really move.

 

*Ahem* How about using the Force (magic hand thing) to save people's lives on multiple occasions?

 

Have Taika Waititi voice Grogu with a digitally-heightened pitch. The accent must be Omega's secret. (Kidding)

 

Grogu's first words: "Hey bro!"

 

Oh I sent that to fast. Except use the force. Grogu is barely a character I am sorry to say. He’s a mcguffin that looks cute. Omega is also a mcguffin and is adorable like Grogu, but the major difference is Omega can actually have some say in the group and can have a character arc.

 

There is the answer. Omega is really a Star Wars fan who got hit by a bus and won the Isakai jackpot and has been reincarnated as Omega. The things with stars in her eyes going to hyperspace and playing with dirt on an alien planet make her feel like an audience avatar. I like the way she's written where she has been sheltered all her life and is just filled with curiosity and wonder. But, none of that is annoying because she isn't really stupid. Come on, you want a stupid kid? Go watch the Younglings arc. Petro will give you what you're looking for.

 

Saw one youtube review that got a good catch: Omega knew about the inhibitor chip the clones had and was used by Sidious.
I have watched Ep.2 twice and never really paid attention to this detail but if think about it's Very strange for a 5 years old janitor have such knowledge, since every other Jango clone had no idea about it.
And clearly she didn't have the implant, unlike the rest of the Bad Batch wich implant was defective ( at least partially).
Wasn't that an extremely well guarded secret ? Shouldn't her warned Hunter before ?
And if she was just an "accident", just an defective Jango clone, shouldn't she had an implant also?

 

She is actually never said to be a Janitor. She is said to be Nala Se's medical assistant.
So that offers at least one possible explanation about how she came by that information.

 

Omega being a medical assistant means she could have been involved in stuff. We don't know where Omega was during Fives' adventure on Kamino seeing how she may be a mind reader. Really her being a mind reader is enough explanation, she could simply be feeling the inhibitor chips are there. Particularly seeing how Kamino is full of clones who have active chips now. Also, there is no proof she doesn't have her own inhibitor chip. It could activate and turn her into the queen of salt for all we know.

 

The bad batch have an inhibitor chip it just didn’t work

 

Wow that’s really good

 

Omega reminds me to Darth Zannah

 

That artist is amazing. All 6 of her Bad Batch members look incredible after being brought to life.

 

Tbh I like that fanart better than the real version. The real one doesn't make much sense; to a layperson, they'd likely never be able to tell you that she's in fact one of the clones. Would it have been that hard to maybe make a female version of the young Boba?

 

Her attire, accent, and the setting (Kamino) are a good indication. And even if someone doesn't initially realize she's a clone, Tech clarifies it.

 

Her attire does not look that much different from the fatiges Refs wear when not in uniform. Just the color and tiara. I do think her hair and other attributes are recessive from Jango but all Tech confirms is she is a Clone. He could pull another isn't it obvious thing when it turns out she is a mix or her abilities come up. I Think the scene when she takes off the band will change meaning as plot advances. It's not clear if she is home sick, feeling rejected by Hunter, just shaken, or has a secret motive though I think she really is bonded with the crew. It's cute when she tells Uncle Tech his plan is good. Be interesting if he finds the headband left behind on the ship's dashboard.

 

Could it also be that the name "Omega" is a red herring and she's, in fact, the "first" perfect clone, the "first" force sensitive clone, etc. ?

 

An interesting take on a force user depending on what she has been exposed to. She could be neutral. I think it works best if Omega is barely force sensitive so she can read minds and spy. I wonder if Shaak Ti knew she was there. Or if the Kaminoans kept her well away.
