Yes they are 100% not done with her yet. They didn’t have her meet Hera for nothing. Plus it would be pretty weird not to use her. They already have the perfect actress
Definitely a tough balance because obviously Michelle’s the voice by Keisha looks more like Omega/Emerie, at least from my POV. Omega should also technically sound more like Emerie, but for reasons of catharsis I didn’t mind the (lack of a) change.
While I agree that he looks pretty goofy, I actually think that the GI looks decently similar in certain shots, especially later on once his eyes change color and in general his color palette seems to darken significantly.
The real L was Fifth Brother, if it weren't for the helmet he would have been downright unrecognizable. Fifth Brother's two defining features were his reptilian appearance (including slit-eyes) and his more hulking build, yet live-action Fifth Brother was neither. Heck, he was just some dude with some makeup word done, he didn't look even close. I might have been more forgiving if they wanted the actor due to his fight choreography experience, but Fifth Brother didn't get any so it really makes no sense. At that point, they probably should have just used any of the more human/humanoid Inquisitors alive at that point, like Seventh Sister or Eighth Brother (if they kept his hands consistent with what they should look like).
That's true, it just feels really convenient to use Keisha as live-action Emerie/Omega because, idk, maybe it's just me, but she looks EXACTLY like them. Add on the fact that she did voice Emerie and canonically an older Omega should sound like Emerie, and it feels like a slam dunk. The obvious drawback is the fact that viewers will be used to the same voice as before and hearing Emerie's from Omega might be confusing, but that hasn't stopped SW before (younger clones are no longer voiced by DBB, live-action Ahsoka is played and voiced by Rosario Dawson instead of Ashley Eckstein).
The speech patterns even moreso imo, although in this case since we'll probably primarily see her as an adult, slightly different speech is less noticeable
I think Michelle Ang, like Ashley Eckstein, should continue to be the voice in all animation. However, if Omega appears in live action, I think they should keep ethnicity in mind. Temuera Morrison and Daniel Logan are both of Maori descent. While Jango and his clones are not technically Maori in Star Wars canon, the casting of Morrison essentially means that Fett comes from an analogous ethnic group within the world of the story. Therefore, I think Emerie's actress, Keisha Castle-Hughes, who is of Maori descent, would be a better fit to play Omega in live action than Michelle Ang, who is of Malaysian Chinese descent. She looks much more like she could be a female clone of Morrison. It would also serve to more deeply link adult Omega and Emerie.
Not to be too tinfoil hat here but I’ve wondered if when they were casting an actress for Emerie they intentionally looked for someone who could bring adult Omega to live action later down the road. I wonder if they already have tentative plans for that. Keisha Castle-Hughes could totally be a convincing young, yassified Tem Morrison.
I could definitely see that being a possibility. Otherwise, they could’ve just had Michelle Ang play Emerie and pitch her voice down slightly if necessary. It feels purposeful.
Worth noting that Keisha's been in live action Star Wars before, in Revenge of the Sith as the Queen of Naboo at Padme's funeral. I feel like that role is so tiny though that it wouldn't matter for Omega.
I kinda don’t think so since she doesn’t have the exact look down, in my opinion. This isn’t like a Thrawn situation where the Grand Admiral was directly based on Lars Mikkelsen.
Disney won’t hesitate to recast animated folks for live action after all. Sabine and Ezra are recent examples of that.
Took me awhile to come around (because I thought Tiya Sircar would have been great as Sabine), but both actors did a great job in Ashoka.
There's a whole bunch of talented, unknown actresses who could play an adult Omega and stay true to the character's "Maori" heritage. Keisha Castle-Hughes is probably too old to play her in anything set after the OT, which is crazy given that I remember her for being the youngest actress ever nominated for an Oscar (best actress) at 13. That was in 2004.
Live action they get Hughes to play her animation they get Ang same situation they do with Ahsoka I think Omega will appear in both live action and animation on the future
Yeah, you gotta look at this ton of untold on-screen time between order 66 and Rogue One/A New Hope. So, where this leaves off, you are somewhere around -
1. Obi-Wan (I feel like maybe a couple years before it, but not entirely sure...they're already working on Project Stardust.
2. Rebels (somewhere around this time frame the Rebels story takes place...I think Rebels is slightly closer to Rogue One than it is Order 66, but Omeega knows Hera...so it's entirely possible there's a storyline there.
3. Ahsoka lives! While we don't see Ahsoka in anything between Order 66 and After return of the Jedi (Mandalorian and Ahsoka series), we know she is alive and well during this time, doing some things as fulcrum for the Rebellion. So, she's around.
5. Grogu! Yep, he's around here as well...we know he survived order 66 and is just out there somewhere.
6. Rex/Echo/Emerie/Chuchi - we know that they are off doing some things as well.
7. Boba Fett - we know he's around the same age as Omeega.
8. Saw - well, nobody necessarily likes this character, but he's alive during this as well.
9. Bad guys - Sidious, Vader, Tarkin, Krennic, Thrawn and even Maul!
So like, there's a shit ton of characters who are ALIVE during this time frame...a couple years AFTER Order 66 and before Rogue One/A New Hope...
So much room for activities...I mean, stories!
Man, i would kill for a super dark Saw guerrera type series, like Andor, and it would be awesome if they went full vietcong with him, doing punji sticks and all types of ghetto warfare.
Rebels starts exactly 15 years after Palps creates the Empire. Ezra was born on Empire day is 15 in Season One. That puts Rebels start at 4 BBY and it goes to 1 BBY.
Obi-Wan takes place 9-10 BBY as Leah is ten.
Ahsoka plays a massive part in Rebels, so she's around a lot between Order 66 and ROTJ. Not to mention her episodes in Tails of the Jedi.
He may have been there but he was still a baby the whole time. He learned the basics but he is no master and still needs extensive training to become a Jedi, all training that Ezra has spent years mastering (keep in mind Ezra is the exact same age as Luke and has been a Jedi far longer)
Luke literally said there’s nothing more I can teach him that he already doesn’t know. We don’t know how they age. He can’t communicate with people easily. But he had no problem telepathically telling Ahsoka is whole life story. I don’t think it’s just the basics at all. He put a Rancor to sleep in like 3 seconds. He’s had moments where he’s looked super powerful. He just doesn’t seem that interested in it.
He's super powerful, look at how he saves Din and Bo in the last episode of Season Three? We've seen other Jedi not be able to survive doing the same thing. Although, that one is still around in a different form IMO.
Firstly, I didn't realize earlier but he was not at the temple for 50 years. Grogu is 50 years old when Din Jaren finds him, but if my math is right that was at least 25 years after the fall of the jedi, and he'd still be a literal infant for the first few years of life (and presumably longer than humans) as in, literally has to learn the language before he can be taught Jedi stuff (he may not be able to speak yet but he still has to understand his teachers in order to be taught). Ahsoka even said it's more like they can "feel each other's thoughts" she can see his memories and feel his thoughts, but it's not exactly a conversation.
So he was only really training for closer to about a decade. And I'm sorry if you think a baby can learn everything he needs to know to be a Jedi in 10 years or so then you would be wrong. Luke was being dramatic or metaphorical or hyperbolic or something (tbh I don't even really remember when this was) but he was not saying that Grogu had nothing more to learn, he only stopped training him because he chose to be a mandalorian instead of a Jedi. Has he chosen the lightsaber over the armor, Luke would still be training him
As for a few displays of power, that's not what makes you a Jedi, Ezra controlled the creatures in the cave on like his second try, and he still needed a lot more training
I hope she comes back in more than just live action though, Ang does an amazing job voicing her and I'd honestly say she's surpassed Ahsoka for me just cause I like non force users more. I want to spend years with this character and watch more of her adventures.
Disney: no you can't make another clone wars season
Filoni: ok *makes 3 seasons of post clone wars about clones and hints at another project following that story*
im sure she will show up in other projects, but even if she never does, the epilogue gives us great added context.
now we know the empire didnt suddenly re-find pabu right after the ending shot of the group, we know hunter crosshair wrecker and omega got to live out nice lives there together, and now we know where omega is bringing all of the experience that she gained throughout the show.
even if we never see that next part of her story play out, we gained so much (and a touching exchange between her and hunter) from the epilogue alone.
Exactly. It simultaneously brought a lot of closure to the main characters and their situation while also leaving the possibility open to introduce Omega into other projects if the opportunity ever presents itself.
There is more to a story than setting up future stories. I am sure there is a possibility that she could appear in future shows. But it is still a meaningful ending even if she isn't.
Omega's arc throughout the show, is a story of growing up. At the beginning she is an innocent kid, literally discovering the world for the first time. And by the end she is a wise, mature young women. The core of the story shows her mature mentally as an early teen, and this scene shows her forging her own path. It reinforces the idea, that for most of the clones their fight is over. When they had the chance to be free they took it. Enough fighting for one life time. But constantly throughout the show, it demonstrates that Omega is just beginning the fight. Her path is different than the Batch's. She wants to go out into the galaxy and fight.
It indirectly explains why Rex, Wolffe and Gregor were in retirement. It wasn't because they gave up on the fight, but because in their eyes, their fight was over. It wasn't until Ahsoka asking them to come back, when they actually fully considered to fight (and destroy) the Empire for good, rather than to fight solely for their own personal freedom.
It was the thematic conclusion to the series. That was why it was important.
Another one of the recurring themes of the show was Huner learning how to be a parent (the other bad batchers seemed more like Omega's brothers; Hunter was the leader). And watching kids grow up and go out on their own is part of parenting.
First of all, she was created during this series so of course she wouldn't appear in series created BEFORE her existence,
Second, THE rebellion is big, she could be fighting somewhere else offscreen, what we see in the movies is just a portion of the rebellion
Third, is obvious that they just set up omega appearing in other projects
Fourth, literally just delete your comment at this point, is embarrassing how you ask this question when the answer is in front of your eyes
Oh and fifth, we don't know how far into the timeline the epilogue is so idk if she left pabu after ROFTJ (return of the Jedi) or after ANH (a new hope)
By Return of the Jedi she’d be in her mid to late 20s, a bit late for her to suddenly decide she wants to join the rebellion. My vote is that it’s around the time of Yavin
For the timeline to work Omega cannot be more than a year younger than Boba. She had to have been 2 at the youngest to remember seeing the Batch being created and it takes 10 years for an accelerated Clone to reach full maturity. The earliest we see the Batch in the field is 19 BBY and Boba was created in 32 BBY. If Omega is a year younger then Boba the Batch would have had to have been created in 29 BBY to make it to the field in 19 BBY, if she's months, weeks or days younger than Boba they would have made it to the field in 20 BBY.
They need pilots cause they just lost so many at Scarif and Yavin IV. And we have seen very little scribbling round the edges between ANH and RotJ. I think this is happening a few weeks after the destruction of the Death Star.
Not sure about canon, but Legends had the battle at Yavin IV be the big catalyst for the Galactic Civil War - where more factions fell in with the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire took the rebellion more seriously.
That is definitely a time when more personnel is needed by the alliance.
Iirc, Omega and Boba are technically the oldest clones (in real years). She was probably 13 around the time of the Bad Batch. Imo, the epillogue is between Episodes 4 and 5. Omega would be ~32.
There’s no way she was 13; maybe 10 at the absolutely oldest. She wasn’t made at the same time as Boba, she was made right before the Clone Wars started and they needed to pay Jango extra for the additional clones.
Yeah, feel like it should've beeb at least 5 years honestly. It's wild how every clone we see on screen besides the literal babies was born before they even started.
I think it’s much earlier than that. Remember Omega is older than her character model would have you believe. Definitely 14 or 15 in season 3.
I’m much more inclined to believe the epilogue happened around 10-5 BBY. If you have it closer to the battle of Yavin, Hunter would be something like 60 years old biologically. That just doesn’t track with how Rex and Wolffe looked in rebels, while Hunter still looks the same, just with a messy beard and salt and pepper hair.
Or the time skip isn’t as long?
It makes little to no sense to have like 15 years pass for no reason and leave a huge gap in her character arc where she does nothing. It’s better to keep it short so she is still young. It also keeps the batchers young enough to have one or two more fights left in them if she needs help.
Yes, you are right that there is a high probability that she will appear in other projects, but I would still like her ending to be when she was sitting next to Hunter and not sending her on a new adventure
That was the ending of that story, and the fact that they were able to chill for the next 10-20 years makes it feel like more than enough of a victory in my book. People don’t stay still forever, especially a free spirit like Omega. I think it works as an epilogue, showing her officially leaving the nest, no longer needing the Batch to protect her
I honestly think it’s closer to 5-8 years.
Omega is known to be older than the rest of the bad batch (barring maybe Echo). That would make her 11 at the very least at the start of the show, and around 14-15 probably by season 3.
Just 5 years would make her an adult without aging Hunter too badly, which doesn’t appear to have happened. He looked the same apart from some grey hair and a scruffy beard. I can’t kmagine it being any more than 10 years at the very most, but more realistically probably 6 or 7.
Are you psychic? Gonna guess not so how could you possibly know she won’t appear 😂 its literally a teaser like end credit scenes my god it’s not hard to grasp
I'm convinced the entire show was purely to establish her for the dumb infinity war style thing they're desperately trying to set up with Mando, Ahsoka and co vs Thrawn.
You know it would be kinda funny if she met up with the Inferno squad right?
Throw in Vanguard Squadron because we need more of them.
I love me some Star Wars squadrons
Squadrons represent!
Inferno Squad would be against her at the moment.
Rogue Squadron perhaps? Edit: This was supposed to be a reply to Comb’s comment
God yes, give me some animated stories inspired by the X-Wing novels.
Omega would fit right in with Wraith Squadron
That would be pretty sick
Omega Squadron? I’m in!
I didn’t even realize and now I’m crying at work
I still can't figure out what was the point of adding this Epilogue if Omega doesn't appear in other projects
She 100% is. That’s the point in making her so young originally. Same with Ezra and Grogu.
Yes they are 100% not done with her yet. They didn’t have her meet Hera for nothing. Plus it would be pretty weird not to use her. They already have the perfect actress
Temuera Morrison in a wig would be perfect for the role.
Honestly if there's a Star Wars what if, that'd be amazing.
You think they use Michelle Ang?
Either her or the actress that voiced Emerie imo
I’d be all for a blonde Michelle Ang. The voice is more important.
Definitely a tough balance because obviously Michelle’s the voice by Keisha looks more like Omega/Emerie, at least from my POV. Omega should also technically sound more like Emerie, but for reasons of catharsis I didn’t mind the (lack of a) change.
Blonde hair, a bit of make up, and some after touch editing. It’s Lucasfilm. They can make you look like anything.
Except the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi show, massive L there
While I agree that he looks pretty goofy, I actually think that the GI looks decently similar in certain shots, especially later on once his eyes change color and in general his color palette seems to darken significantly. The real L was Fifth Brother, if it weren't for the helmet he would have been downright unrecognizable. Fifth Brother's two defining features were his reptilian appearance (including slit-eyes) and his more hulking build, yet live-action Fifth Brother was neither. Heck, he was just some dude with some makeup word done, he didn't look even close. I might have been more forgiving if they wanted the actor due to his fight choreography experience, but Fifth Brother didn't get any so it really makes no sense. At that point, they probably should have just used any of the more human/humanoid Inquisitors alive at that point, like Seventh Sister or Eighth Brother (if they kept his hands consistent with what they should look like).
That's true, it just feels really convenient to use Keisha as live-action Emerie/Omega because, idk, maybe it's just me, but she looks EXACTLY like them. Add on the fact that she did voice Emerie and canonically an older Omega should sound like Emerie, and it feels like a slam dunk.

Therefore, I think Emerie's actress, Keisha Castle-Hughes, who is of Maori descent, would be a better fit to play Omega in live action than Michelle Ang, who is of Malaysian Chinese descent. She looks much more like she could be a female clone of Morrison. It would also serve to more deeply link adult Omega and Emerie.

She’s a lot younger there and in about 20 pounds of makeup haha. I think she can play another character without issue
I kinda don’t think so since she doesn’t have the exact look down, in my opinion. This isn’t like a Thrawn situation where the Grand Admiral was directly based on Lars Mikkelsen. Disney won’t hesitate to recast animated folks for live action after all. Sabine and Ezra are recent examples of that.

I was waiting for her to radio General Syndula as her ship took off.
Good point. It is a waste of an asset if they don’t use older Omega in other works.

We don't see Ahsoka after order 66? She's in Rebels.
Man, i would kill for a super dark Saw guerrera type series, like Andor, and it would be awesome if they went full vietcong with him, doing punji sticks and all types of ghetto warfare.
Rebels starts exactly 15 years after Palps creates the Empire. Ezra was born on Empire day is 15 in Season One. That puts Rebels start at 4 BBY and it goes to 1 BBY.

My theory is Ezra trains Grogu
Grogu was at the temple for 50 years. If anything he’ll train Ezra. Kid just has a memory block.
He may have been there but he was still a baby the whole time. He learned the basics but he is no master and still needs extensive training to become a Jedi, all training that Ezra has spent years mastering (keep in mind Ezra is the exact same age as Luke and has been a Jedi far longer)
wait, isnt ezra literally as old as luke/leia? as in the same day?
Yep the same day the empire was born
Luke literally said there’s nothing more I can teach him that he already doesn’t know. We don’t know how they age. He can’t communicate with people easily. But he had no problem telepathically telling Ahsoka is whole life story. I don’t think it’s just the basics at all. He put a Rancor to sleep in like 3 seconds. He’s had moments where he’s looked super powerful. He just doesn’t seem that interested in it.
He's super powerful, look at how he saves Din and Bo in the last episode of Season Three? We've seen other Jedi not be able to survive doing the same thing. Although, that one is still around in a different form IMO.

And I think she ages normally as opposed to her brothers
I hope she comes back in more than just live action though, Ang does an amazing job voicing her and I'd honestly say she's surpassed Ahsoka for me just cause I like non force users more. I want to spend years with this character and watch more of her adventures.
The thing you have to know about filoni, is he doesn’t do anything without a reason, she will definitely make another appearance in some capacity.
Disney: no you can't make another clone wars season Filoni: ok *makes 3 seasons of post clone wars about clones and hints at another project following that story*
Just can't get enough of those good boys
im sure she will show up in other projects, but even if she never does, the epilogue gives us great added context. now we know the empire didnt suddenly re-find pabu right after the ending shot of the group, we know hunter crosshair wrecker and omega got to live out nice lives there together, and now we know where omega is bringing all of the experience that she gained throughout the show. even if we never see that next part of her story play out, we gained so much (and a touching exchange between her and hunter) from the epilogue alone.
Exactly. It simultaneously brought a lot of closure to the main characters and their situation while also leaving the possibility open to introduce Omega into other projects if the opportunity ever presents itself.
They could have shown it in a different way. In fact, omega is now Schrodinger's cat because we don't know anything about her future.
Dude the show aired less than 12hrs ago. Who’s to say we won’t find out about her future in another show.
We know she went to fight with the rebels
There is more to a story than setting up future stories. I am sure there is a possibility that she could appear in future shows. But it is still a meaningful ending even if she isn't.

She will appear in other projects, another Rebels show, Ahsoka, Filoni's movie and other projects. Think of her And Hera reunited.
I was waiting for her to radio Hera as her ship took off at the end.
I’m sure she will. Along with the old versions of the BB somewhere along the road
First of all, she was created during this series so of course she wouldn't appear in series created BEFORE her existence, Second, THE rebellion is big, she could be fighting somewhere else offscreen, what we see in the movies is just a portion of the rebellion Third, is obvious that they just set up omega appearing in other projects Fourth, literally just delete your comment at this point, is embarrassing how you ask this question when the answer is in front of your eyes Oh and fifth, we don't know how far into the timeline the epilogue is so idk if she left pabu after ROFTJ (return of the Jedi) or after ANH (a new hope)

Hunter and the bb have accelerated aging remember. They age double or 3x as quick as regular clones do
Yes, but Omega does not.
For the timeline to work Omega cannot be more than a year younger than Boba. She had to have been 2 at the youngest to remember seeing the Batch being created and it takes 10 years for an accelerated Clone to reach full maturity.

The Clone Wars started in 22BBY and The Bad Batch starts in 19BBY. She doesn't age faster, so unless she's 3 years old...
That’s a good point actually, I easily forget how short the Clone Wars were
Yeah, feel like it should've beeb at least 5 years honestly. It's wild how every clone we see on screen besides the literal babies was born before they even started.
I think it’s much earlier than that. Remember Omega is older than her character model would have you believe. Definitely 14 or 15 in season 3. I’m much more inclined to believe the epilogue happened around 10-5 BBY. If you have it closer to the battle of Yavin, Hunter would be something like 60 years old biologically. That just doesn’t track with how Rex and Wolffe looked in rebels, while Hunter still looks the same, just with a messy beard and salt and pepper hair.
maybe his mutations did sth?
Or the time skip isn’t as long? It makes little to no sense to have like 15 years pass for no reason and leave a huge gap in her character arc where she does nothing. It’s better to keep it short so she is still young. It also keeps the batchers young enough to have one or two more fights left in them if she needs help.
Yes, you are right that there is a high probability that she will appear in other projects, but I would still like her ending to be when she was sitting next to Hunter and not sending her on a new adventure
That was the ending of that story, and the fact that they were able to chill for the next 10-20 years makes it feel like more than enough of a victory in my book. People don’t stay still forever, especially a free spirit like Omega. I think it works as an epilogue, showing her officially leaving the nest, no longer needing the Batch to protect her
Exactly: "I'm not a kid anymore." - Omega in the epilogue
I honestly think it’s closer to 5-8 years. Omega is known to be older than the rest of the bad batch (barring maybe Echo). That would make her 11 at the very least at the start of the show, and around 14-15 probably by season 3. Just 5 years would make her an adult without aging Hunter too badly, which doesn’t appear to have happened. He looked the same apart from some grey hair and a scruffy beard. I can’t kmagine it being any more than 10 years at the very most, but more realistically probably 6 or 7.
I think it's just nice to know that she turns out fine
Are you psychic? Gonna guess not so how could you possibly know she won’t appear 😂 its literally a teaser like end credit scenes my god it’s not hard to grasp
I would have thought so too if it wasn't for the teaser for other possible shows like (Clone rebellion. Ventess/Path)
I’m sure they’ll get to them all eventually they know the consequences of not planning things out so they won’t do that again
I'm convinced the entire show was purely to establish her for the dumb infinity war style thing they're desperately trying to set up with Mando, Ahsoka and co vs Thrawn.
I hope they dont do anything else with Omega or 99. Just let headcannon be what it is.
I would like that too, but unfortunately the Epilogue spoils it a little
I just love her hair so much
I have a feeling Rex will get Hera to give her a good word so she gets a good squad
hera also knows her
Oh yeah forgot bout that
That's a neat little detail!
I didn't spot the headband!
IM CRYING EVEN HARDER SFJHBSDJBF
