The final season of The Bad Batch is underway and speaking with StarWars.com, Omega actress Michelle Ang discusses the final season, where we find her character and the clear danger the remaining members of Clone Force 99 find themselves in.
The Bad Batch is the story of a kid and her adoring father figures. “If you look at the broader perspective, at the end of the day, The Bad Batch is [about] a young person who has been fortunate enough to have the right kind of guidance to believe in herself and in what she can contribute to the world. That’s such a universal story.” For Ang, it’s less about why Omega came into the galaxy and more about who she can become in it. “It’s about growing up. It’s the path that every young person goes through until they feel like they’re ready to step out into the world.”
And Ang hints that the story to come is even darker than previous seasons, as the Empire holds the galaxy fully in its grip. “What struck me when I watched the first couple of episodes of the season was that it felt tense. It’s suspenseful. It’s very edge-of-your-seat and uncomfortable, which is a little bit of a departure, I would say, from how we mostly have started the other seasons. We sort of drop the audience straight into the tough stuff.”
