I knew the series finale of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" was going to be super emotional, but I perhaps wasn't prepared for the 20-ish-year flashforward at the end.
Omega, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, and Echo have been mainstays for us since the Covid days. Clone Force 99 has overcome losses (Tech's absence permeates the entire final season, though it a beautiful touch to show his goggles in the last moments), setbacks, and defeats -- all without sacrificing their commitment to no brother left behind.
We've learned more than a few things over the past three seasons, including:
- Definitions can be fluid.
- Families have no blueprint.
- Different can be better.
- Broken can defeat whole.
And perhaps most importantly:
- Outcasts can be cast as heroes.
All hail Dave Filoni. And all hail the Batch.
