In a time whereStar Warsis ubiquitous in the world, the landscape is ripe for speculation. Disney+ has plenty of new series on the way while others gear up to continue their runs, so while there aren’t really any shows or movies currently running, the mood is right for all those dedicated fans to endlessly wonder about what’s to come.
Now thatThe Bad Batchhas finished its first season, it’s got a few chips of its own to add to the pile, and some fans are ready to go all in. So far, aside from its engaging stories concerning how clones deal with being gradually phased out by the Empire, its biggest contribution to theStar Warsmythos has been the young anomalous girl Omega. As the only (known) female clone and one who ages at a much slower rate than the rest, her future is rife with possibilities, and some fans think it wouldn’t be all that unexpected to see her in one of the upcoming live-action shows.

Star Wars-centric YouTube channelStar WarsMeg has offered a fewparticularly intriguing theorieson how that might happen in the near future. In a recent video, she went into detail regarding the various ways Omega could show up in an upcoming series aside fromThe Bad Batch. Considering a number of connections the showrunners have given her so far, such as her new friendship with a young Hera Syndulla and a run-in with bounty hunter Fennec Shand, it almost seems as though she’s being set up to have a pretty substantial presence in theStar Warsuniverse going forward. That’s even aside from how she’ll appear after the rumored time jump in theofficially confirmedBad Batchseason 2.
Meg’s primary theory suggests that Omega will play a role in either the upcoming Cassian Andor prequel series or the ratherambiguously fatedRangers of the New Republic. Both series have been rumored to involve Hera Syndulla in some way, and considering Omega’s newly-formed connection with her, it wouldn’t be too much of a shock to see them both appear.Andormight only see her in a cameo at most, due to its focus on Diego Luna’s character fromRogue One: A Star Wars Story. But some have been suggesting that Hera will have a leading part inRangers of the New Republic(especially after thefiring of Gina CaranofromThe Mandalorianfor her toxic and hateful comments). So having Omega along for the ride doesn’t sound all that farfetched.
Since Omega and Hera are roughly the same age, it might be fun to see them both take part in some kind of heroic task force. But there are also other possibilities. One suggests that she’ll show up inThe Book of Boba Fett. As a fellow clone of Jango who also ages at a slower rate, Omega will likely have a lot in common with Boba. Plus, it would give her an opportunity to seeMing-Na Wen’s Fennec Shandagain, for better or worse. The caveat in that case is that it’s unlikely she’d be in a series that’s premiering in December when viewers still don’t know her full story inThe Bad Batch.
Regardless, it’s helpful to remember that this is all speculation based on nothing but knowledge of the series.Star Warslends itself well to that sort of thing. Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with enjoying the discussions. After all, there’s often nothing more satisfying than a niceStar Warschat (depending on who it’s with, anyway).
