The Bad Batch Finale – Spoilers Abound

I hate endings of stuff I enjoy watching.

Monarch, Ted Lasso, even recently, Shogun.

But when it’s something Star Wars related, like Ahsoka or Rebels, it hurts when it ends.

The Bad Batch was no exception.

For me, Omega grew as a character this past season.  I was less annoyed with her as I was in previous seasons.  Heck, I was happy to see where her journey seems to be headed, with that final scene.

I’m still upset that Tech is (still) dead, but relieved that he wasn’t revealed to be one of Hemlock’s shadow operatives.

Speaking of Hemlock, I didn’t know until I checked the cast credits that Hemlock was voiced by the guy (Jimmi Simpson) who played Logan Pierce in a couple of episodes of Person of Interest.

I was genuinely sad to see the end of Nala Se, but glad it caused the demise of Rampart and Hemlock’s database.

It was a nice touch to see Tarkin divert Project Necromancer’s funding to Project Stardust.

I’m also kicking myself for not remembering that (Mount) Tantiss was originally from Heir to the Empire.  It never occured to me to look that up when they first mentioned/showed the planet.

Overall, I thought it was good finale with a satisfying ending.  Clone Force 99 is still around at the time of the Rebellion, and that’s good enough for me.
