Warning ! This article contains pamperer for Star war : The Bad Batch time of year 3 , episodes 10 & 11 .
Summary
TheStar Warsanimated seriesStar war : The Bad Batchhas long since worked in tandem with the live - actionThe Mandalorianseries , butThe Bad Batchseason 3is taking this human relationship another step further . The Bad Batchseason 1 premiered two days afterThe Mandalorian , and the find kinsperson relationship betweenClone Force 99and Omega instantly reminded viewers ofThe Mandalorian ’s Din Djarinand Grogu . This , along with strong ties to Force cloning , is where many of the similarities finish - but now , The Bad Batchseason 3 is tally many more .
From Omega ’s and Grogu ’s own personal journeys to the battle of theseStar Warsparents , much ofThe Bad Batchseason 3 seems to be copyingThe Mandalorian , particularly season 2 . Both of these show are incredible in their own right , and George Lucas himself is the one who coined the term " it ’s like poesy , it rhyme " as a manner of echoing pastStar Warsmovies and TV shows , but these law of similarity are too uncanny to be a simple protection . Here are the 10 great way in whichThe Bad Batchseason 3 is forthwith mirroringThe Mandalorian .
Has Star Wars : The Bad Batch been renewed for season 4 ? Here ’s everything we acknowledge about the animated series and Clone Force 99 ’s future .
10Omega Is An M-Count Target Of The Empire
Grogu Has Long Since Been Hunted By The Empire For This Reason
Omega being a target of the Empire is nothing newfangled . While it was the Kaminoans who initially hired bounty hunters to give chase her down inThe Bad Batchseason 1 , Dr. Hemlock began his own avocation of Omega in time of year 2 as a manner of getting Nala Se to follow with his study . The Bad Batchseason 3 , however , has added a whole new layer to the involvement the Empire has in Omega . She is no longer just an plus to them ; she and her M - counting are indispensable toProject Necromancer , the key to Emperor Palpatine ’s succeeding Christ’s Resurrection .
This is the very same ground why Grogu is being hound inThe Mandalorian . The Empire ’s desire for Grogu ’s blood to make Force - sensitive clones was revealed before Palpatine ’s resurrection even hap inStar war : The raise of Skywalker , withThe Mandalorianseason 1 premiere just over a month before theStar Warsmovie . AsThe Bad Batchhas joinedThe Mandalorianin set up Palpatine ’s cloning , it has made Omega ’s story parallel Grogu ’s in this fashion , which sets the tone in season 3 for many of the two appearance ' similarities .
9Crosshair’s Redemption Is Happening Through Omega
Din Djarin’s Redemption Also Happened Through Grogu
One of the most powerful parts ofThe Bad Batchseason 3 thus far has been witnessing Crosshair ’s salvation . As the penis of Clone Force 99 who worked alongside the Empire and helped to track down his brothers on multiple occasions , it ’s been rewarding to see him change and develop , with much of this translation coming directly from Omega ’s incessant sustenance of him . She dissemble very much like his moral compass , and he often looks to her to make certain he ’s on the correct data track . There ’s no doubt Z is the catalyst for Crosshair ’s repurchase .
Din Djarin , though in less need of redemption as Crosshair , also had Grogu work as his moral compass and his facilitator for his own redemption . As a lone bounty hunter , Din crossed many lines he likely never wanted to cross to complete his jobs and offer for his Mandalorian covert . After meet Grogu , however , Din interchange his ways and pay his life-time to protecting the foundling rather than bounteousness hunting . The Mandalorianseason 1 finale is even style " Chapter 8 : Redemption " to drive this point home . These two redemption , then , are very snug parallels .
8Omega, Hunter, & Wrecker Share An Emotional Reunion
Din Djarin & Grogu Had A Very Similar Reunion In The Book Of Boba Fett
The reunion between Omega , Hunter , and Wrecker inThe Bad Batchseason 3 is nothing little of worked up , in particular after viewers witnessed how do-or-die Hunter and Wrecker had become in endeavor to receive Omega . Complete with confessions of miss one another and fond embraces , this reunification can not assist being tied to Din Djarin and Grogu ’s reunion inThe Book of Boba Fett . Though the circumstances are dissimilar , with Omega having escaped Mount Tantiss and Grogu having leave Jedi training , the overall emotions of these reunion are one and the same .
As standardised as these moments are , there are still a few dispute that proveThe Bad Batchtook what was done for Din and Grogu and made it better . Rather than satisfy again in the thick of bedlam that does n’t allow for them much of a smooth and well - deserved reunion , Hunter and Wrecker get to take their time greeting Omega on a outside man that places only them and their emotional moment at the center of focussing . Still , this warmth - and the Kid being the single to go to their Fatherhood or else of vice versa - is tight partake between the two .
7The Bad Batch Gets Information From Fennec Shand To Help Omega
Fennec Shand Was Key In Din Djarin’s Rescue Of Grogu
Fennec Shand first receive Clone Force 99 inThe Bad Batchseason 1 , and she has since returned in time of year 3 to aid put up Clone Force 99 with cardinal selective information . In need of answers , Hunter and Wrecker strike a trade with Fennec to facilitate her on a bounty hunting caper in exchange for entropy on what an M - count is . Fennec alone , who was introduced to theStar Warsgalaxy inThe Mandalorian , and a reluctant wad made for the sake of a child both heavily evoke much of Din Djarin ’s story , specially inThe Mandalorianseason 2 .
This is very similar to Hunter and Wrecker ’s own mission with Fennec , though it was Fennec going along for the ride that time rather than her fairly reluctant allies .
Fennec played a vital role in help Din Djarin to get Grogu back in season 2 , as she helped to storm Moff Gideon ’s light cruiser alongside Din and his other ally . Fennec was acting upon a deal she and Boba Fett had impinge on with Din in edict to get Boba ’s armor back , and thus her actions inThe Mandalorianseason 2 were done to hold up her end of the deal . This is very standardized to Hunter and Wrecker ’s own mission with Fennec , though it was Fennec going along for the drive that clip rather than her somewhat loth allies .

6Omega’s Abilities In The Force Are Tested By Ventress
Ahsoka Tano Similarly Tested Grogu’s Abilities In The Force
Asajj Ventress makes her triumphant return toStar WarsinThe Bad Batchseason 3 , and she serves the purpose of being a irregular wise man to Z - as far as the Force is concerned . Ventress tests Omega ’s power in a subtle room , making her do simple actions such as a balancing test . At the end of the episode , Ventress inform Hunter and Crosshair that if Omega is strong in the Force , she ought to be trained , and that training will make her part ways with her kin .
This is much of whatThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 5 " Chapter 13 : The Jedi " cover , with Ahsoka Tano being the one in Ventress ' mentor role . Ahsoka tests Grogu ’s power with the passage of a Edward Durell Stone through the air , andwhile she , like Ventress , refuses to check or do anything about Grogu ’s ability in the Force , she does inform Din Djarin that Grogu will have to choose his own path . While Din seems more open to the idea of Grogu leaving for training than Clone Force 99 is , it ’s clear he ’s just as palliate to have Grogu around longer .
All seven non - chronological seasons of The Clone Wars take place within a three - twelvemonth period , but where does one class oddment and the next Menachem Begin ?
5Omega Is Foreshadowed To Leave The Bad Batch For Training
Grogu Also Had To Leave Din Djarin To Train As A Jedi
The aforesaid conversation of Ventress enjoin Hunter and Crosshair that Omega may have to leave them for training heavily foreshadows that this will , in fact , be the case by the sentence the finale go far . With some ofThe Bad Batch ’s cast and crew hinting at a bittersweet ending , it seems very plausible that Omega could will her fellowship behind in favour of training , if only for Z to use what instinctive abilities she has to help as many people as she can . This is what Omega has always need to do , and that makes this realism even more probable .
Grogu was faced with this very same decisiveness inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , and he pick out the track of training for a very similar reason . It ’s since been reveal that Grogu had no true passion for becoming a Jedi , which imply he truly did go with Luke Skywalker and train in the Force because he feel that it would help him protect both himself and his father . Both these kid , then , have been or will be presented with the same option for their futures , and should Omega choose the same path as Grogu , her story will parallel his even more .
4The Bad Batch’s Ship Is Destroyed & Omega Is Captured By The Empire
This Directly Mirrors The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 6 “Chapter 14: Tragedy”
It isThe Bad Batchseason 3 , episode 11 " Point of No Return"that begins to make the serial ' similarities toThe Mandalorianuncanny . In an legal action - packed and tense episode , Omega is captured yet again by the Empire , which happens after Clone Force 99 ’s darling ship , theMarauder , has been destroy by Imperial forces . This , along with a tragically break down programme , leave alone Clone Force 99 with no trace of Omega ’s whereabouts and no way of going after her , which is an highly similar plot line .
" Chapter 14 : The Tragedy " shows these exact things happening to Din Djarin , as hisRazor Crestis destroy by Moff Gideon on Tython just before Grogu is taken by the blue troopers . Din would have been strand there had Boba Fett and Fennec Shand not been there to give him a lift , and even then , he did n’t have a lead on Grogu ’s whereabouts - just like Clone Force 99.This leaves the Bad Batch at the very same carrefour as Din Djarin , in that they have lost their child and their ship in the very same way .
3The Bad Batch Will Soon Feature Juggernauts On A Mission To Find Omega
Din Djarin Also Fought On A Juggernaut To Find Grogu After He Was Captured
Looking ahead , it seems as ifThe Bad Batchseason 3 will only continue to follow the path ofThe Mandalorianseason 2 . Next calendar week ’s episode is titled " Juggernaut , " and establish on footage fromThe Bad Batchtrailer , it looks as if Clone Force 99 will be going on a mission that involve the very same sort of Jagganath feature inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , instalment 7 " Chapter 15 : The Believer . " There are already several notable similarities between these two episode , even if " Juggernaut " has n’t yet transmit .
Both episode clearly show a missionary work that is meant to locate a missing child , whether it be by puzzle co-ordinate or another character of information that will conduct them to their lost family appendage . The curtain raising shoot ofThe Bad Batchtrailer even features Clone Force 99 inside a hijacked steamroller before they make a audacious jump from the fomite to the ramp of a ship . Both of these thing also happen in " Chapter 15 : The Believer , " with Din Djarin and Migs Mayfeld infiltrating a juggernaut and jumping from a building onto a ship ramp .
2Phee Genoa & Her Ship Will Come To The Bad Batch’s Aid
Boba Fett & His Firespray Gunship Helped Din Djarin’s Efforts Massively
The similarities between " Juggernaut " and " Chapter 15 : The Believer " do n’t end at the juggernaut vehicles . The Bad Batchtrailer reveals that it ’s Phee Genoa and her ship that come to Clone Force 99 ’s aid with the juggernaut . Considering Omega ’s intimacy with and fondness for Phee , it ’s no surprisal that she ’s the one who ’s now aid them find Omega , but it is yet again very similar to the role Boba Fett played in Din Djarin ’s mission on Morak .
Without theRazor Crest , Boba Fett and his Firespray gunship were essential to Din as he and Mayfeld infiltrate Morak ’s Imperial minelaying facility . It was Boba and his ship that catch Din and Mayfeld in their presume leap , just as Phee ’s ship does for Hunter , Wrecker , and Crosshair . It seems that Phee ’s role is similar to what Boba ’s was , in that she and her ship are on understudy until her crew is quick for a weft - up . Should this be the display case , then " Juggernaut " has already turn up itself to be a direct repetition of " Chapter 15 : The Believer . "
1The Bad Batch Finale Could Feature A Key Ally - & A Bittersweet Goodbye
Luke Skywalker Swept Into The Mandalorian As Din Djarin & Grogu Said Goodbye
The Bad Batchseason 3 finis is already pitch up to be an emotional one , especially because it will make viewers say goodbye to the animated serial as a whole . It does , however , have the potency to feature a Jedi who aids in Omega ’s rescue somehow- especially if she ends up taking the same way as Grogu . The sequence being titled " The Cavalry Has arrive " produce room for that , even if it also echoes Clone Force 99 ’s iconic introductory phrase .
Still , it ’s potential that some of these forecast parallels will take a turn to become more unique to The Bad Batch .
If a Jedi does arrive and Omega articulate goodbye to her family , this will make the series finale a direct copy ofThe Mandalorianseason 2 finale . This does n’t have to be a big thing;The Mandalorianseason 2 , specifically its latter one-half , is the series ' highest - rated and most well - consider yet . It would , however , makeThe Bad Batchseason 3 sense unfortunately predictable . Still , it ’s possible that some of these betoken analogue will take a turn to become more unparalleled toThe Bad Batch , and this net season will always be reckon as its best .
