Very good finale.
I will say that it did feel pretty safe. The title characters all made it to the end. Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair get to live the remainder of their lives peacefully, Omega chooses to fight the Empire on her own terms, and Hemlock and all of his allies died. Aside from Emerie, who also gets the ending one might have hoped for and expected.
All of this being said, I don't know that I'm mad about it being such a risk-less ending. The Bad Batch got to finally put the war behind them, free of worries. I do love to think they likely just ended up passing away peacefully and together. Seeing Hemlock get what he had coming for him was relatively satisfying. He was such a great villain.
The show did leave some things open, either for interpretation or for another animate series that'll likely be announced on May the 4th. I would like to know what became of the remaining clones, not just Rex, Wolfe and Gregor. Like, when will we see Commander Cody again?
Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if Disney just dropped a special or a short movie about Cody and Rex and the loose ends here.
But it was still a pretty satisfying finale. The action was actually quite exhilarating, it was super well directed, Kiner's music is as excellent as always, and the voice work really is quite great. It was actually intense and really fun to watch.
And this isn't a complaint so much as just a thought, but shouldn't Omega actually look a bit older at the end of this? Aside from her height, she didn't seem to actually age all that much.
This season was good overall. Probably could have been a few episodes shorter, but I enjoyed it all the way through unlike the previous season. Next stop, Tales of the Empire!
