    Thats was soo great of a finale loved it all. And it seems like Bad Batch stayed out of any fighting until Omega goes out years later in Rebellion era.

    Excellent finale. It was a beautiful end to The Bad Batch, and a satisfying conclusion to the story of the clones.

    Still no conclusion to Rex's story but thats for another show to handle. I wonder if one day we see adult Omega story.

    And so CF99 retires, satisfied in knowing they helped Tarkin get his budget apportionment for That Big Battle Station that Squad Omega and friends will have to take down some day. But that's a story for another time...

    Some time after The Bad Batch he went into hiding with two of his brothers. In 4BBY he rejoined the fight, and stayed in it until the Battle of Endor, and possibly beyond.

    I meant between Bad Batch and Rebels :p

    Wolfe still with Empire and no hint of Rex stopped fighting. In this show.

    I also guess the new clone freedom still results in some bad choices...like the clone who ended up homeless in Obi-wan.

    Also sounds like Chuchi still fighting for Clone rights that Emerie Karr can help with

    I wonder if Omega will appear in any shows that takes place before, around OT and after.

    That worked. The animation was very good again throughout. The fight on the not-OSHA certified catwalk in the rain looked great. I can hope they just leave Clone Force 99 to set up a chartered fishing company on Pabu and enjoy their time now. 8/10

    Very surprised we didn't see Palpatine again in this episode but a pretty solid finale overall. Thank god they kept Tech dead. Need to rewatch this to see more of how I feel about everything but would probably rank it a 7.5/10 right now. It reminded me of the Rebels finale where there are some loose threads still.

    You really showed them by being done with the show after the show is actually done!

    Double episode! They could have easily split this one into two and kept the 16 episode symmetry with the first two seasons, ending 15 after the squad was captured by the elite clones (those soldiers had neat looking weapons - I wish we'd seen them earlier in the season.)
    Great action and a satisfying ending for me. I was pleased with the happily ever after ending on Pabu and the flash forward to the Rebellion era to catch a glimpse of grown up Omega.
    The writers did a great job keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout the episode, wondering who would make it out alive, and whether or not Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair would succumb to the conditioning. For a moment I thought Rampart might escape with the data and get back in the good graces of the Empire.
    I'm glad Tech didn't return. I think it would have cheapened his sacrifice.
    I'm also surprised we didn't see the Emperor or Darth Vader - I think either would have been a great character to include with Tarkin (or instead of Tarkin) at the end.

    The standoff with Hemlock, then Omega running into Crosshair's arms brought out all the emotions in me that had built up throughout the season.

    I'm sad to see the series go, but I really enjoyed the ride, especially this season.

    A satisfying conclusion. I think one more sacrifice outside the clone prisoner red shirts (I was sure Wrecker was a goner there at the end) could've upped the emotional punch, and the super X-clones could've used some earlier setup, but still, I enjoyed it a lot. And it's a very good way of finally closing out the cloning narrative (until, of course, it comes back post-ROTJ, but that's another story I hope concludes ASAP).

    I know Disney/Hulu have a Bon Jovi documentary to promote but I thought Hunter and the batch performing Livin’ On A Prayer riding the back of the zillo beast was distasteful…

    Wow! What a fantastic and satisfying conclusion to a great series! This episode did not mess around.
    The stakes were real. The violence was quite surprising. Zillo beast lives to terrorize structures another day!
    And the Emperor is back to square one on his quest to clone himself into immortality.
    It's apparent that everyone involved with this show put a lot of thought and care into its production.
    And it certainly left off with the possibility of continuing Omeeeega's story.

    I overall liked the finale and I am totally fine with a happy ending.

    I still don’t understand the Twittersphere of people (including creatives involved with the show) constantly posting “ALL RIGHT BAD BATCH NATION, HOW TRAUMATIZED AND SHAKEN ARE YOU AFTER TONIGHT’S EPISODE? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT BAD BATCH NATION?” on a weekly basis. Are we watching the same show?

    It was a lovely conclusion and had room to breathe, rather than cramming content every step before the finish line.

    It was a beautiful send off to Bad Batch and Omega. Living peacefully on Pabu for 12 years. I fear for Echo in a Rex and Echo show. And we could see the Bad Batch and Rex reunited in a New Republic era Galaxy.
