However , as season 3 was the last season of the show , it also demand to fetch an end toClone Force 99’sStar Warsstories .

For much of the time of year , it depend as though that end would be a grim one , as the Bad Batch team expend almost all of season 3 in precarious berth . However , theBad Batchseason 3 endingmanaged to rive off one ofStar Wars’few truly glad finish . Moreover , the show ’s finale thankfully avoided restate a recentStar Warstrend that season 3 had seemed to be steer toward .

Force Sensitivity Has Remained Too Important In Star Wars

AlthoughStar Warshas excitingly shew to be moving away from a heavy accent on the Jedi , such as in theAndorTV show andthe upcomingThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie , the Force remains too large a focus in the enfranchisement . Even in project that are theoretically not focused on Force - raw primary characters , Star Warshas begun to pelt in plot twisting regarding characters with Force sensitivity . While it can be thrilling for a long - beloved character to divulge Force sensitivity , it could end up being overdone if that plotline is repeated too oftentimes .

One key example of this trend came about inAhsokaseason 1 , when Sabine Wren was revealed to have the Force . This move was extremely controversial withStar Warsaudiences , as Sabine had n’t demonstrated any aptitude with the Force inStar Wars Rebels . However , this twist was befitting of the true nature of the Force ; it has always been true that the Force resides in all living thing . Importantly , as many characters have articulated throughout the franchise , the Jedi do n’t own the Force — they’re just more skilled at using it .

The issue only arises if and when too many characters commence having similar arcs . For one , that bend for a main character can easily overshadow the show , with the Force sensitiveness secret plan becoming the principal focus . Moreover , while the Force may reside in all living things , if it were to become oversaturated inStar Wars , that would serve only to make it feel less substantial for all Force exploiter .

Omega Becoming A Jedi Would Have Detracted From The Clones' Stories

That very theory , wherein a Force sensitiveness secret plan twist swallowed up the rest of the show , seemed to be impend inThe Bad Batchseason 3 . Early in the season , Z was uncover to be the only clone whose M - count ( or midi - chlorian count ) was successfully increased by Project Necromancer . While a higher grand - count advise one ’s potential in the Force rather than confirms Force sensitivity , Omega then seemed to exhibit several ofStar Wars’Force abilities , including increased intuition and stronger bonds with animate being .

fortuitously , The Bad Batchseason 3 concluded having only dropped suggestion about Omega ’s Force sensitiveness rather than switching gears to a stress on it . Critically , the Jedi and the Force were not whatThe Bad Batchwas think of to be about . Instead , The Bad Batchserved as a sequel toStar Wars : The Clone Warsfor the Republic ’s clone trooper who had been left high and dry after Order 66 and the rise of the Empire . Their story , and their story ’s conclusion , should have been the focussing .

The Jedi and the Force were not whatThe Bad Batchwas meant to be about .

Thankfully , Star Warskept to that nidus , asa sprain toward Omega being Force - sensitive and perhaps pursuing the path of a Jedi would have earnestly detracted from the clone ' account . While the clones are very dear in the dealership , particularly Clone Force 99 , it ’s heavy to cut how much displume the Force has . Often , when a Force - sensitive character is introduced , they become polar to the patch , perhaps even more so than other characters .

Omega’s Jedi Story Could Be Told, Just Not In The Bad Batch

Ultimately , Star Wars’decision to leave Omega ’s possible Force sensitiveness as a loose close rather than substantiate it inThe speculative Batchwas the right move for the show . However , that does n’t mean that loose final stage will never be tied up . InThe Bad Batchseason 3 finale , in fact , Star Warsrevealed a time pass over to an adult Z . As the show conclude , Omega informed Hunter that she would be join the Rebellion as a pilot burner . GiventheBad Batchfinale ’s situation in theStar Warstimeline , this would put Z in the Rebellion prior toA New Hope .

This could very well signify that Omega will seem in an upcomingStar Warsproject . Were that the fount , Omega ’s Force sensitiveness could be further explored or revealed later on on . However , forStar war : The Bad Batch , Star Warsabsolutely made the good decision by not allow time of year 3 to focus on whether Omega had the Force .
