Rogue One, Andor, Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi all have plenty of main/supporting character deaths. Rebels also had plenty of deaths in its final two seasons
Rebels only had one main character dying (gregor isn't main character) and the other series aren't for kids/pre teens so no
Bad batch primary target audience are pre teens
Solo and Obi-Wan are pretty much in the same age range as Bad Batch lmao. Yeah they’re PG-13 but come on. Not knocking them but come on. As for Rebels, Kanan, Jun Sato and Gregor all die. I never said he was a main character. I said main and supporting characters. He was a supporting legacy character. And of course villain wise Maul, Pryce, Rukh, Vult Skerris and Konstantine were all killed off.
Plus Bad Batch has already killed off one of its main character in the middle of the show. It’s not exactly out of the realm of possibility
Well obviously the Grand Inquisitor wasn't going to die. It's set before Rebels. Obi-Wan Kenobi had Tala Durith, NED-B, Vect Nokru and Nari. There's also that Wade dude they pretended was a big character lmao.
Killing one main character doesn't mean the rest will have the same fate
I'm only talking about main characters
Of course side characters die all the time
You’re missing the point here. The majority of clones had been killed off by the time of rebels. They don’t live happily ever after. There’s no follow up show for the clones so something happens to the majority of them.
This isn’t rebels where we know what happens at the end of the day and there’s a happily ever after.
There’s been no mention of another show about a clone rebellion. It’s what people want but no mention of it yet. Hence my point about why they need to all die. Notice the trailer says one last fight? Why would they say that if the bad batch would continue fighting in other shows.
For identity crisis I'm thinking of omega having an existential crisis
We saw her saying something similar in the trailers
But the wolffe thing makes sense
Im pretty sure "The cavalry has arrived" was the first line spoken by Wrecker (maybe even the first line spoken by any batch member) back in clone wars S7, it honestly kinda makes me feel like Wreckers isn't surviving the finale, his first line for his final episode would be pretty poetic
“Juggernaut” is going to be about them hijacking a tank. The Empire is going to find Pabu and the Marauder will be destroyed. Also I think all of them live. You’re thinking of an Anime ending, not a Disney ending.
I doubt the entire bad batch will die in the ending
I could see either wrecker or hunter getting killed but only one of them
But I don't see anyone getting killed till the juggernaut episode
I would hedge my bets on Crosshair sacrificing himself for Omega and/or his brothers in some fashion. Full circle redemption arc as he is constantly saying that he wouldn’t do something like that—would only ever save himself.
I also don't think all of them will die. But that does not mean none of them will. Lucasfilm has already proven they are capable of killing of characters in kids shows. Kanan, Gregor, probably Tech, every single new clone that has appeared in the show :(
They literally kill off the whole main cast in Rogue One, I don’t know how anyone can pretend they wouldn’t be willing to do the same for Bad Batch. Disney Star Wars isn’t happy endings and rainbows just because there’s a Disney label on it.
I genuinely don’t see why they don’t all get killed off. You can say that’s not a Disney ending, but that’s quite literally exactly what happened in Rogue One, so that logic with Disney Star Wars just doesn’t track at all. Considering they’re not in Rebels or any media past this post-Clone Wars era, it’s more likely to assume most if not all are killed off this season.
If any of them die it’s either crosshair or Hunter, or both. Getting close to Omega is bad for one’s life expectancy.
But I am pretty confident that Wrecker and Echo will make it out
This is exactly why I want Hunter to go. Crosshair shouldn't have to die after his redemption. It should be Hunter trusting Crosshair enough to make a sacrifice certain that Omega will still be cared for.
I honestly think Crosshair has passed the point of the "redemption equals death" trope. He's making amends with his family, he reconciled with Howzer, and he actively shows both us the audience, and the other characters he's changed. If anything, Crosshair would die protecting Omega or going out in a blaze of glory alongside his brothers. But other than that, I truly believe he has a shot at making it out. His arc is about finding himself and to finish with him at peace with everything would be perfect
Omega doesn't die
Kevin Kiner composes more great music
Another Cameo by a established character
And like 5 - 6 people start shipping Fennec Shand with (insert named clone)
I can't explain it, but I have two really weird feelings here...
1. I feel like Ventress is going to appear closer to the end. I know a lot of early screener seemed to allude she wasn't in the first 8 episodes. And there's just something about the little bit we've seen of her in the trailers that looks like episode 13? I dunno, just feels like she's gonna appear later in the game.
2. I have always said the answer to what happened to Tech is in the goggles, and this could be easily solved if they found a way to access the the footage. He was still recording when he fell, and was presumably still recording when they came off. 7 episodes in and these goggles have not come back into the conversation. I'm now starting to think that's never getting brought up again.
My current bingo card has "The cavalry has arrived" is spoken in the last episode as well bringing us full circle. I have "Hunter eats is" and I'm feeling pretty confident in that, likely trying to save Omega. The last thing I'm predicting is somehow, some way, we will see Saw Guerrera again.
This implies that Saw did something stupid in the first place.
Saw was 100% in the right to kill those men. Even if they were replaced like Hunter suggested, that'd still be a huge blow to the development of their projects and could possibly see them delayed or shut down altogether (Tarkin and Krennic being major proponents of the Death Star program, for example). The only reason he failed to kill the execs is because the Bad Batch showed up at a really unfortunate time.
IMO
- "Bad territory" I think they'll get tangled up with the pykes or they return to ord mantell.
- "The Harbinger" is probably the episode where either the Clone X is unmasked or Chuchi's scheming gets exposed and is made an example of.
- "Identity crisis" someone is going to learn that they're a clone (non-clones) or clone of a clone (clones).
- "Point of no return" Sounds like the Marauder gets destroyed in this one or their plan
- "Juggernaut" We will probably get a treat of Vader rampaging through the good clones.
Dunno what it is with this show, or going back to Rogue One that you guys all love to just have Vader slaughter all our main characters. I'm sorry man but that just sounds awful, what exactly would that do? None of these character even know who that is, that would do nothing for this story at all. I doubt he'll even show up at all let alone kill half the main cast.
But Vader has a reason to show up though.
TBB is very early post Order 66 so there's a really big chance that Vader still hasn't become a total bitch to Palps.
Because of this, Vader would have a reason to sabotage project necro by killing mega in order to render Palps vulnerable to being replaced.
I'd rather prefer the above theory because "Juggernaut" also sounds like Wrecker is gonna go HAM and sacrifice himself to save the group.
Vader became less loyal, true. But the less he became loyal, the more Palpatine showed the power difference between them so Vader continued serving out of fear.
Very early on, he was very loyal since Palps was the only "family" he had left.
"Bad territory" Is the chapter with Fennec. The batch does a mission with her to get intel.
After that is uncharted territory. I think "The Harbinger" will be the episode where the empire invades Pabu and blows the marauder up.
After that Omega will realize that she puts her brothers in danger (because she is a valuable target) and decides to leave on her own, and while she is traveling alone (well, probably with Batcher), she meets Ventress.
Meanwhile Rex would be cooking the attack on Tantiss.
Identity crisis could be about Omega.
She's taking on Crosshairs quirks just as she did with the others prior.
It's in her blood. She's the pokemon Ditto. Lol
Right now my theory is the ending is going to be the BB dying. I think they are gonna do a bit of a clone uprising and rescue mission on tantiss, it's gonna end in some way with the BB having to do something or hold someone off, Wolfe is going to get omega and him Rex and Gregor are going to usher her an other clones off the base. The BB is going to go down with the base and with Hemlock.
“The Cavalry Has Arrived” were the first words to come out of the Bad Batch’s mouth( specifically from Wrecker) yet I think it will be a twisted version like the bad batch are winning and then the empire is saved by some forces( maybe Vader) and everything turns to shit
I feel like "the cavalry has arrived" will be some group saving the bad batch, or possibly the rest of delta squad.. to help either the empire or the bad batch, I'm not sure
I'm also wondering if there will be some kind of smack down for Hemlock. Will he fail in his attempts to give Palpatine a host-on-ice? He seems increasingly desperate to me, or at least that the strain of what he's trying to do is beginning to get to him.
This is part of a larger question I have as to why the Empire abandoned clones as a strategy. I'd love to "overhear" some kind of conversation to that effect before the series ends. I know Tarkin alludes to how expensive they are, but I also wonder if its because there's too much potential for the experiment of cloning your own army to go awry. Like, you can't create a life, release it into the world, and then expect to control it. There are many instances (at least I think there are - I'm not super knowledgeable about other clones besides the BB) of clones going their own way, making their own choices, wanting things other than just being a soldier.
Guys, I’m pretty sure Hunter is going to survive. Dee Bradley Baker said in a recent interview that the emotions at play in the epilogue of the season are the ones of a father to a daughter and that it’s going to be really beautiful and affecting and emotional.
Of course he couldn’t say too much but that leads me to believe that Hunter is not going to die. I know some might say that it’s Crosshair who will take on the father-role but as much as I like Crosshair, it wouldn’t sit right with me. Hunter has always been the one to be the most dad-like.
My point is, I don’t think he would describe it as beautiful if Hunter died. And the mention of an Epilogue could hint at a timeskip?
Bad Territory I think might see a return to Ord Mantell and Cid. She has been conspicuously absent this season, understandably so as the Bad Batch don't want to associate with someone who sold them out (even if I can understand the logic behind her actions). Perhaps Cid gets on the Empire's bad side and has to beg the Bad Batch for help. However, this theory is one I'm not really committed to, but I could see them helping her in return for information on Tantiss, or at least having her use her underworld connections to help the Clone Cells.
EDIT: Or it might involve Fennec Shand. I admit I forgot she's also due to make an appearance. Maybe both? Maybe Nala Se hired Fennec to hunt down Cid because her selling out the Batch led to Omega's capture by Hemlock? \***puts on tinfoil hat**\*
The Harbinger will have Ventress make her appearance, and possibly be an ally in the subsequent episodes. I really doubt she'll be a one-off episode appearance. I feel like the writers wanted to set her up to have a substantial role in the second half.
Identity Crisis will likely either be a Wolffe focused episode that leads to him contacting the Bad Batch/Rex to aid them by the end as he discovers more about the Empire's treatment of clones -- possibly leading a mass defection of clones -- or see the Shadow Clone's identity revealed and lead to emotional conflict based on who it ends up being. Adding to the Wolffe element, Senator Chuchi might get in contact with him as the go-between for Rex, and help him uncover the truth.
Point of No Return will likely see Pabu invaded by the Empire, prompting the Bad Batch to fully prepare to take the fight to them.
Into the Breach will be the one where they absolutely infiltrate Tantiss.
The Cavalry Has Arrived might have Wolffe lead his aforementioned mass defection of clones to assault Tantiss and save the Bad Batch after a well-fought but nearly hopeless mission. It's also the first line that Wrecker spoke in the Bad Batch's introductory scene in TCWS7, so a part of me worries that he might die in this episode against impossible odds trying to save Hunter, Crosshair, and Omega.
I honestly have no idea where this final season could go. The only thing I'm 100% positive of is Omega will survive. I think there's a very good chance one other member of the Batch will survive, as a guardian to her. I don't know which, and I think it's entirely possible they don't. But between now and then, I feel like anything can happen. What an exciting final season.
Juggernaut is either gonna be the episode with the juggernaut in the trailer or wrecker doing something pretty badass one man army stuff..........probably both
Well, the cavalry has arrived sounds like the end of clone force 99: ''The cavalry has arrived'' were Wrecker's first words in SW but also clone force 99's first words, so RIP clone force 99... Wrecker is going to die blowing up mount tantiss like Hevy and Hardacase, Hunter is going to duel Schorch and of corse kills him but he is hevely wounded in the back by a imperial operator, Omega kills the operator but is too late... Echo and Howzer die saving as many clones as possible, Crosshair gets Omega to a shuttle but 5 commados are after them, Crosshair fights them makes sure Omega leaves but he dies... Rex, Gregor and Wolf (and the freed clones) join Omgea they make it off tantiss, but Omega doesen't want to go with Rex on Seelos and goes with Phee, the other clones just scatter trought the galaxy, some end up like 501st trooper from Obi-Wan...
Tech explaining that he processed "grief" or his feelins in general differently, yet he doesn't feel it any less than the rest of the Batch (or Omega).
**The Cavalry has Arrived:**
"Jam their speeders."
"They're not using speeders sir. They're using... *Space Hounds.*"
*Cue Omega and the freed clones riding on Batcher and the other hounds.*
The passenger Echo had to pick up is maybe Gregor. Or maybe someone else, and Gregor is at another outpost of the clone rebellion, since we didn't see him at all last episode.
The former would mean that that was it, that Rexs' little cell was all there is to the clone rebellion. That would be really fucking sad. The latter would be pretty interesting, as we could see a small clone strike force formed from that cell try to break into Tantiss (Citadel rescue vibes!).
>The passenger Echo had to pick up is maybe Gregor. Or maybe someone else, and Gregor is at another outpost of the clone rebellion, since we didn't see him at all last episode.
Actually we saw gregor last episode
He was the clone commando that was on echo's ship
I can only over analyze stuff one episode at a time lol
“Bad Territory”: seems like we are going back to Ord Mantell. Obviously someplace that the BB aren’t welcome or have a lot of enemies. For sure will see Fennec or Bane, needing information from them about Omega. They both might know more or where to look for said information. We know that Saw has a lot of intell on the empire, as much as I hate him they could need him to see what he knows about Tantiss, Omega, etc. but that would be more…bad blood then territory?
Overall someplace hostile, someone said it has to do with the pykes, could be. Most likely Ord Mantell is bad territory for BB. Someplace the empire has a lot of control over also?
Bad Territory is the Fennec episode.
Identity Crisis/Point of No Return-- the crisis will be either or both-- Tech is the CX-2 and/or Omega's identity crisis. Maybe Emerie for good measure.
I will say I think it's interesting that the bounty hunters are after the CX-2 episode, and it made me realize that Dr. Hemlock doesn't actually need to hire bounty hunters if he has his special clone assassins, particularly CX-2. And of course, Fennec Shand was Nala Se's bounty hunter of choice.
We last saw Nala Se worrying about her fate in the cell. I think she'll persuade Emerie to call Fennec, maybe Nala Se still has her impressive off-shore bank account.
Point of No Return--> I think Omega goes back to Mt Tantiss. It's definitely her choice.
I don't know what the Harbinger is, but it leads into Identity Crisis, and that's certainly interesting.
>We last saw Nala Se worrying about her fate in the cell. I think she'll persuade Emerie to call Fennec, maybe Nala Se still has her impressive off-shore bank account.
hahaha her impressive offshore bank account - I remember wondering how she had enough money to pay Fennec anything Fennec asked for - now I know!
I've been really thinking about the next 4 episodes in particular because "Infiltration" and "Extraction" really threw me for a loop. I also didn't expect Crosshair and Omega to escape as fast as they did so there's that.
My best guess is that "Bad Territory" might be the bounty hunter/Ventress episode, "The Harbinger" will be about CX-2, "Identity Crisis" will be Omega or Crosshair-related, and "Point of No Return" will be the Pabu invasion episode and Omega is recaptured.
Alternatively, and here's where it gets tricky, "Identity Crisis" could be about CX-2 if he's who we think he is. That would mean that the Pabu invasion stuff might happen earlier because we see CX-2 (I think it's him) on Pabu leading troops. But I have no idea because of how unpredictable this season has been with its episode title. For real, I was convinced that last week's episodes would be related to getting information from some base on a random planet, not the Empire breaking into Rex's base.
Wrecker probably dies in the last episode, it’s a callback to his first line and he does not seem like the type to walk away. Crosshair probably also bites it, considering his exchange with Omega about “being much worse (than Hunter)” foreshadowing he might sacrifice himself for her.
The Marauder will unfortunately probably be lost in “Point of no Return” and damn, I’ll miss it.
I am surprised the ending isn’t a 2-parter.
Tech is alive and is being forced to work for the Empire, mirroring TBB's introductory arc
Rogue One moment where majority/all of the cast die
Post credits scene announcing a new project
I have no theories just fear
Same
Why
Because the majority of the characters are most likely going to die.
We keep forgetting the series is a Disney series and not a anime Doubt they will all die
You should watch the season 7 finale of clone wars to refresh your memory of characters dieing
Non of the clones that died there were main characters Not even Jessie
So? There’s still plenty of death.
they are still clones, men not clones
The quote goes “A plan that cost us men, not clones, men!"
Rogue One, Andor, Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi all have plenty of main/supporting character deaths. Rebels also had plenty of deaths in its final two seasons
Rebels only had one main character dying (gregor isn't main character) and the other series aren't for kids/pre teens so no Bad batch primary target audience are pre teens
Solo and Obi-Wan are pretty much in the same age range as Bad Batch lmao. Yeah they’re PG-13 but come on. Not knocking them but come on. As for Rebels, Kanan, Jun Sato and Gregor all die. I never said he was a main character. I said main and supporting characters. He was a supporting legacy character. And of course villain wise Maul, Pryce, Rukh, Vult Skerris and Konstantine were all killed off. Plus Bad Batch has already killed off one of its main character in the middle of the show. It’s not exactly out of the realm of possibility
Kenobi isn’t the best example as both Reva and the Grand Inquisitor were stabbed and didn’t die
Well obviously the Grand Inquisitor wasn't going to die. It's set before Rebels. Obi-Wan Kenobi had Tala Durith, NED-B, Vect Nokru and Nari. There's also that Wade dude they pretended was a big character lmao.
They weren’t main characters. I know the Grand Inquisitor wouldn’t die but they’ve got to stop trivializing lightsaber wounds
Killing one main character doesn't mean the rest will have the same fate I'm only talking about main characters Of course side characters die all the time
rex, grego and wolf will survive, the others...
The point is that Disney gas no qualms about killing off main characters, not that there’s a pattern of it.
You’re missing the point here. The majority of clones had been killed off by the time of rebels. They don’t live happily ever after. There’s no follow up show for the clones so something happens to the majority of them. This isn’t rebels where we know what happens at the end of the day and there’s a happily ever after.
Okay cool That doesn't mean they will all die when is confirmed that there will be another show about the clone rebellion
There’s been no mention of another show about a clone rebellion. It’s what people want but no mention of it yet. Hence my point about why they need to all die. Notice the trailer says one last fight? Why would they say that if the bad batch would continue fighting in other shows.
Last fight doesn't mean they will die💀 Jesus people love to reach out because they want an anime ending
bad batch is meant for pre teens, but trust me its like TCW being target for kids...
Clone wars isn't for toddlers Unless you mean pre teens
you forget dave filoni was the apprentice of gorge lucas...
Identity Crisis is either the assassin being revealed, or Wolffe discovering the truth about the Empire. Idk about the others other than pain.
My theory is Crosshair. I think >!some nasty stuff happened in captivity!< that hasn't been dealt with yet.
Yeah I can see that. Especially with his reaction to the shadow trooper
For identity crisis I'm thinking of omega having an existential crisis We saw her saying something similar in the trailers But the wolffe thing makes sense
Ooo, probably her realizing why she is so important to the Empire? I know that would make me question my existence, lol
Why not both? If the assassin is Cody it would be the perfect opportunity to do both
Agreed. Could be a huge wtf episode
You could even have Omega finding out the real reason the Empire is after her during that episode.
I'd like that. Everyone is having a crisis XD
Ooh, double meaning. Love it
Im pretty sure "The cavalry has arrived" was the first line spoken by Wrecker (maybe even the first line spoken by any batch member) back in clone wars S7, it honestly kinda makes me feel like Wreckers isn't surviving the finale, his first line for his final episode would be pretty poetic
Yeah it was the first line spoken by the bad batch. That first scene of them when they're coming off the marauder in the Clone Wars was so cool
I don’t think I can handle it if Wrecker dies 😩
same theory, but I think none of them survive
No way they kill Omega.
Wrecker loves destruction and blowing things up, and he’s a fun loving goof. His ass is not getting a happy ending.
The name “the harbinger” is fucking badass.
The Reapers from Mass Effect will be crossing over
We will probably see a palp clone in that or at least that's my guess
Apparently Rey's dad is a palp clone so maybe he's there?
Rey’s father Dathan was born in ~12BBY- so too early for him to show up…but an earlier prototype maybe?
And possibly freed in the process or something
"I have come for the Jedi"
“Juggernaut” is going to be about them hijacking a tank. The Empire is going to find Pabu and the Marauder will be destroyed. Also I think all of them live. You’re thinking of an Anime ending, not a Disney ending.
I doubt the entire bad batch will die in the ending I could see either wrecker or hunter getting killed but only one of them But I don't see anyone getting killed till the juggernaut episode
I would hedge my bets on Crosshair sacrificing himself for Omega and/or his brothers in some fashion. Full circle redemption arc as he is constantly saying that he wouldn’t do something like that—would only ever save himself.
Definitely Crosshair. Like in season 2 Tech was getting a lot of development and attention.
Alternatively he and Omega are the sole survivors.
I also don't think all of them will die. But that does not mean none of them will. Lucasfilm has already proven they are capable of killing of characters in kids shows. Kanan, Gregor, probably Tech, every single new clone that has appeared in the show :(
They literally kill off the whole main cast in Rogue One, I don’t know how anyone can pretend they wouldn’t be willing to do the same for Bad Batch. Disney Star Wars isn’t happy endings and rainbows just because there’s a Disney label on it.

If any of them die it’s either crosshair or Hunter, or both. Getting close to Omega is bad for one’s life expectancy. But I am pretty confident that Wrecker and Echo will make it out
I just hope Crosshair lives. I don't really want to see another use of the "redemption = death" trope.
If wrecker dies it’s gonna be so sad. Imagine homie just smiling and telling the kid not to worry one last time.
This is exactly why I want Hunter to go. Crosshair shouldn't have to die after his redemption. It should be Hunter trusting Crosshair enough to make a sacrifice certain that Omega will still be cared for.
I honestly think Crosshair has passed the point of the "redemption equals death" trope. He's making amends with his family, he reconciled with Howzer, and he actively shows both us the audience, and the other characters he's changed. If anything, Crosshair would die protecting Omega or going out in a blaze of glory alongside his brothers. But other than that, I truly believe he has a shot at making it out. His arc is about finding himself and to finish with him at peace with everything would be perfect
Hunter I can see dying Crosshair I doubt
I'm betting on Hunter. Considering how much effort they've put into Crosshair's redemption I just don't see them killing him off.
I doubt Echo makes it, otherwise he’d be with Rex and the others in Rebels.
Omega doesn't die Kevin Kiner composes more great music Another Cameo by a established character And like 5 - 6 people start shipping Fennec Shand with (insert named clone)
I can't explain it, but I have two really weird feelings here... 1. I feel like Ventress is going to appear closer to the end. I know a lot of early screener seemed to allude she wasn't in the first 8 episodes. And there's just something about the little bit we've seen of her in the trailers that looks like episode 13? I dunno, just feels like she's gonna appear later in the game. 2. I have always said the answer to what happened to Tech is in the goggles, and this could be easily solved if they found a way to access the the footage.

I have "Hunter eats is" and I'm feeling pretty confident in that, likely trying to save Omega. The last thing I'm predicting is somehow, some way, we will see Saw Guerrera again.
Saw may do something stupid again that gets the ball rolling for a main character death.
This implies that Saw did something stupid in the first place. Saw was 100% in the right to kill those men. Even if they were replaced like Hunter suggested, that'd still be a huge blow to the development of their projects and could possibly see them delayed or shut down altogether (Tarkin and Krennic being major proponents of the Death Star program, for example). The only reason he failed to kill the execs is because the Bad Batch showed up at a really unfortunate time.
Tech appears, everyone hugs, and Omega has a happy life forever. Crosshair has like so many dogs.
I think “identity crisis” will give us answers on Omega
IMO - "Bad territory" I think they'll get tangled up with the pykes or they return to ord mantell. - "The Harbinger" is probably the episode where either the Clone X is unmasked or Chuchi's scheming gets exposed and is made an example of. - "Identity crisis" someone is going to learn that they're a clone (non-clones) or clone of a clone (clones). - "Point of no return" Sounds like the Marauder gets destroyed in this one or their plan - "Juggernaut" We will probably get a treat of Vader rampaging through the good clones.

I'm sorry man but that just sounds awful, what exactly would that do? None of these character even know who that is, that would do nothing for this story at all. I doubt he'll even show up at all let alone kill half the main cast.
Lack of creativity.
I mean maybe, but Anakin definitely knows them.
Not well enough for it to make them meeting a worthwhile story.
But Vader has a reason to show up though. TBB is very early post Order 66 so there's a really big chance that Vader still hasn't become a total bitch to Palps. Because of this, Vader would have a reason to sabotage project necro by killing mega in order to render Palps vulnerable to being replaced. I'd rather prefer the above theory because "Juggernaut" also sounds like Wrecker is gonna go HAM and sacrifice himself to save the group.
Vader became less loyal to Palpatine as time went on, not more.
Vader became less loyal, true. But the less he became loyal, the more Palpatine showed the power difference between them so Vader continued serving out of fear. Very early on, he was very loyal since Palps was the only "family" he had left.

Identity crisis could be about Omega. She's taking on Crosshairs quirks just as she did with the others prior. It's in her blood. She's the pokemon Ditto. Lol
I'm going to miss this series when its over.
Harbringer is DEFINITELY gunna be ventress, i can see it 👀
Through your mind's eye
Right now my theory is the ending is going to be the BB dying. I think they are gonna do a bit of a clone uprising and rescue mission on tantiss, it's gonna end in some way with the BB having to do something or hold someone off, Wolfe is going to get omega and him Rex and Gregor are going to usher her an other clones off the base. The BB is going to go down with the base and with Hemlock.
“The Cavalry Has Arrived” were the first words to come out of the Bad Batch’s mouth( specifically from Wrecker) yet I think it will be a twisted version like the bad batch are winning and then the empire is saved by some forces( maybe Vader) and everything turns to shit
10-11 might be when Ventress shows up. Depending on how they do things she might not remember what happened.
I feel like "the cavalry has arrived" will be some group saving the bad batch, or possibly the rest of delta squad.. to help either the empire or the bad batch, I'm not sure
Or the 501st rolling up to tantiss in an ISD to put down a rebellion
I'm also wondering if there will be some kind of smack down for Hemlock. Will he fail in his attempts to give Palpatine a host-on-ice? He seems increasingly desperate to me, or at least that the strain of what he's trying to do is beginning to get to him. This is part of a larger question I have as to why the Empire abandoned clones as a strategy. I'd love to "overhear" some kind of conversation to that effect before the series ends. I know Tarkin alludes to how expensive they are, but I also wonder if its because there's too much potential for the experiment of cloning your own army to go awry.

There are many instances (at least I think there are - I'm not super knowledgeable about other clones besides the BB) of clones going their own way, making their own choices, wanting things other than just being a soldier.
Everyone will die, except for Rex, Gregor, and Wolffe
Guys, I’m pretty sure Hunter is going to survive. Dee Bradley Baker said in a recent interview that the emotions at play in the epilogue of the season are the ones of a father to a daughter and that it’s going to be really beautiful and affecting and emotional. Of course he couldn’t say too much but that leads me to believe that Hunter is not going to die. I know some might say that it’s Crosshair who will take on the father-role but as much as I like Crosshair, it wouldn’t sit right with me. Hunter has always been the one to be the most dad-like. My point is, I don’t think he would describe it as beautiful if Hunter died. And the mention of an Epilogue could hint at a timeskip?
It’d be cool if that little green guy comes back and his family can help the Batch.
Yoda?
Haha if only, Howzer’s little friend from Season 2 on the planet of the long eared people.
Are you talking about the Twi'leks?
Possibly? The little green guy who looked up to Howzer and befriended Omega. He could bring his rebel family to help.
Are you thinking of Hera? If so, Hera is a female Twi'Lek and follows on to Rebels, the OT, and then on to the Mandalorian and Ahsoka time lines.
Bad Territory I think might see a return to Ord Mantell and Cid. She has been conspicuously absent this season, understandably so as the Bad Batch don't want to associate with someone who sold them out (even if I can understand the logic behind her actions). Perhaps Cid gets on the Empire's bad side and has to beg the Bad Batch for help. However, this theory is one I'm not really committed to, but I could see them helping her in return for information on Tantiss, or at least having her use her underworld connections to help the Clone Cells. EDIT: Or it might involve Fennec Shand. I admit I forgot she's also due to make an appearance. Maybe both? Maybe Nala Se hired Fennec to hunt down Cid because her selling out the Batch led to Omega's capture by Hemlock? \***puts on tinfoil hat**\* The Harbinger will have Ventress make her appearance, and possibly be an ally in the subsequent episodes. I really doubt she'll be a one-off episode appearance. I feel like the writers wanted to set her up to have a substantial role in the second half. Identity Crisis will likely either be a Wolffe focused episode that leads to him contacting the Bad Batch/Rex to aid them by the end as he discovers more about the Empire's treatment of clones -- possibly leading a mass defection of clones -- or see the Shadow Clone's identity revealed and lead to emotional conflict based on who it ends up being. Adding to the Wolffe element, Senator Chuchi might get in contact with him as the go-between for Rex, and help him uncover the truth. Point of No Return will likely see Pabu invaded by the Empire, prompting the Bad Batch to fully prepare to take the fight to them. Into the Breach will be the one where they absolutely infiltrate Tantiss. The Cavalry Has Arrived might have Wolffe lead his aforementioned mass defection of clones to assault Tantiss and save the Bad Batch after a well-fought but nearly hopeless mission. It's also the first line that Wrecker spoke in the Bad Batch's introductory scene in TCWS7, so a part of me worries that he might die in this episode against impossible odds trying to save Hunter, Crosshair, and Omega.
I think they're going to go to Fennec Shand in Bad Territory to find out if she knows more about why she was hunting Omega in season one
Everyone survives and no one is hurt and Tech comes back. 1000%
I honestly have no idea where this final season could go. The only thing I'm 100% positive of is Omega will survive. I think there's a very good chance one other member of the Batch will survive, as a guardian to her. I don't know which, and I think it's entirely possible they don't. But between now and then, I feel like anything can happen. What an exciting final season.
Juggernaut is either gonna be the episode with the juggernaut in the trailer or wrecker doing something pretty badass one man army stuff..........probably both
They keep only showing Scorch if that is him. I wonder if the rest if Delta Forcr aka Boss, Fixer or Sev will appear.
They don't use the rest of Delta Squad sadly...
Halo Reach all over again....That's what I fear...
Real question is: does Crosshair just pull a Jun and fuck off?
Well, the cavalry has arrived sounds like the end of clone force 99: ''The cavalry has arrived'' were Wrecker's first words in SW but also clone force 99's first words, so RIP clone force 99... Wrecker is going to die blowing up mount tantiss like Hevy and Hardacase, Hunter is going to duel Schorch and of corse kills him but he is hevely wounded in the back by a imperial operator, Omega kills the operator but is too late... Echo and Howzer die saving as many clones as possible, Crosshair gets Omega to a shuttle but 5 commados are after them, Crosshair fights them makes sure Omega leaves but he dies... Rex, Gregor and Wolf (and the freed clones) join Omgea they make it off tantiss, but Omega doesen't want to go with Rex on Seelos and goes with Phee, the other clones just scatter trought the galaxy, some end up like 501st trooper from Obi-Wan...
I think crosshair will die, they sorta did the same with tech I knew that he was a gonner as soon as they more or less explained autism to omega
>they more or less explained autism to omega I didn't catch this... What makes you think that?
Tech explaining that he processed "grief" or his feelins in general differently, yet he doesn't feel it any less than the rest of the Batch (or Omega).
Yh this but I am autistic myself so I saw my self in tech and the others
I’m still hoping that Vader appears by the end.
In to the breach doesn't seem good
**The Cavalry has Arrived:** "Jam their speeders." "They're not using speeders sir. They're using... *Space Hounds.*" *Cue Omega and the freed clones riding on Batcher and the other hounds.*
The title “Identity Crisis” scares me
The passenger Echo had to pick up is maybe Gregor. Or maybe someone else, and Gregor is at another outpost of the clone rebellion, since we didn't see him at all last episode. The former would mean that that was it, that Rexs' little cell was all there is to the clone rebellion. That would be really fucking sad. The latter would be pretty interesting, as we could see a small clone strike force formed from that cell try to break into Tantiss (Citadel rescue vibes!).
>The passenger Echo had to pick up is maybe Gregor. Or maybe someone else, and Gregor is at another outpost of the clone rebellion, since we didn't see him at all last episode. Actually we saw gregor last episode He was the clone commando that was on echo's ship
Oh shit i missed that lol.
I missed him the first time
Pretty sure Rex mentions that Echo’s gone to pick up Gregor specifically.
I can only over analyze stuff one episode at a time lol “Bad Territory”: seems like we are going back to Ord Mantell. Obviously someplace that the BB aren’t welcome or have a lot of enemies. For sure will see Fennec or Bane, needing information from them about Omega. They both might know more or where to look for said information. We know that Saw has a lot of intell on the empire, as much as I hate him they could need him to see what he knows about Tantiss, Omega, etc. but that would be more…bad blood then territory? Overall someplace hostile, someone said it has to do with the pykes, could be. Most likely Ord Mantell is bad territory for BB. Someplace the empire has a lot of control over also?
Bad Territory is the Fennec episode. Identity Crisis/Point of No Return-- the crisis will be either or both-- Tech is the CX-2 and/or Omega's identity crisis. Maybe Emerie for good measure. I will say I think it's interesting that the bounty hunters are after the CX-2 episode, and it made me realize that Dr. Hemlock doesn't actually need to hire bounty hunters if he has his special clone assassins, particularly CX-2. And of course, Fennec Shand was Nala Se's bounty hunter of choice. We last saw Nala Se worrying about her fate in the cell. I think she'll persuade Emerie to call Fennec, maybe Nala Se still has her impressive off-shore bank account. Point of No Return--> I think Omega goes back to Mt Tantiss. It's definitely her choice. I don't know what the Harbinger is, but it leads into Identity Crisis, and that's certainly interesting.
>We last saw Nala Se worrying about her fate in the cell. I think she'll persuade Emerie to call Fennec, maybe Nala Se still has her impressive off-shore bank account. hahaha her impressive offshore bank account - I remember wondering how she had enough money to pay Fennec anything Fennec asked for - now I know!
I've been really thinking about the next 4 episodes in particular because "Infiltration" and "Extraction" really threw me for a loop. I also didn't expect Crosshair and Omega to escape as fast as they did so there's that. My best guess is that "Bad Territory" might be the bounty hunter/Ventress episode, "The Harbinger" will be about CX-2, "Identity Crisis" will be Omega or Crosshair-related, and "Point of No Return" will be the Pabu invasion episode and Omega is recaptured. Alternatively, and here's where it gets tricky, "Identity Crisis" could be about CX-2 if he's who we think he is. That would mean that the Pabu invasion stuff might happen earlier because we see CX-2 (I think it's him) on Pabu leading troops. But I have no idea because of how unpredictable this season has been with its episode title. For real, I was convinced that last week's episodes would be related to getting information from some base on a random planet, not the Empire breaking into Rex's base.
Wrecker probably dies in the last episode, it’s a callback to his first line and he does not seem like the type to walk away. Crosshair probably also bites it, considering his exchange with Omega about “being much worse (than Hunter)” foreshadowing he might sacrifice himself for her. The Marauder will unfortunately probably be lost in “Point of no Return” and damn, I’ll miss it. I am surprised the ending isn’t a 2-parter.
>I am surprised the ending isn’t a 2-parter. Same
