As season two of the ever-excellent The Bad Batch continues, the growth of Omega is plain to see, and while she’s yet to be featured heavily in the season so far, her development is obvious and writing over at StarWars.com Paige Lyman looks at the journey of Omega so far, from Kamino to becoming a valued member of Clone Force 99.
Omega’s solitary life on Kamino has left her innocent in many ways. But while she does begin to learn more about the world, she still has a strong sense of herself. She often questions things, looking for a deeper understanding of events like the Clone Wars and what exactly loyalty and family can mean. That search for more understanding also pushes her brothers to question the way they operate.
Her understanding of family is especially visible in the Season 1 finale, “Kamino Lost.” At the end of the episode, Omega makes it a point to forgive Crosshair, even after he chooses to remain loyal to the Empire following the squad’s escape from the now destroyed Tipoca City. Omega notes that he didn’t like Kamino, and she understands why after having spent much of her life inside of Nala Se’s laboratory herself. Her forgiveness comes after spending the whole season bonding with the Bad Batch and learning about the importance of family ties, even when a family member chooses to leave.
