With season two of the magnificent The Bad Batch coming to its conclusion this Wednesday with a two-part finale, the official site caught up with the voice of Omega Michelle Ang to talk Celebration, working with Dee Bradley Baker and the progression and growth of Omega.
“Season 1 was primarily [about] Hunter. Hunter was the first person to connect with Omega. And then Wrecker with his childlike antics was an obvious connection point,” Ang says. “What I really relished about Season 2 was…I think it’s been so wonderful that we see who Echo becomes and who Tech becomes when Omega interacts with them. And I had a lot of fun and leaning into those other relationships with those brothers.” That even includes Crosshair, who’s been absent from the Batch and aligned with the Empire since early in Season 1. “In any family, in any friend group, different role models give you different strengths and different viewpoints. All of them are valuable. And I think Omega has been lucky to benefit from how varied her brothers are, what strengths each of them brings… to become as well-equipped emotionally and physically as she is to be a soldier in this world.”
