With the third season of the acclaimed Star Wars series, the Mandalorian set to hit Disney+
in March, there are rumors that this show is leading to the sequel trilogy.
Which isn’t a shocker.
With the Star Wars sequel trilogy being the latest story written in the current Star Wars
canon timeline, everything will lead to the sequel trilogy.
Even the High Republic era…in essence.
So…that means the Bad Batch is also heading to the sequel trilogy.
Okay…let me clarify.
I don’t mean that all the stories will intersect nor connect to the sequel trilogy.
Only that the timeline will go there.
But what if the Bad Bath’s story IS going to intersect with the sequel’s story?
And the clues may be just coincidental.
So, keep that in mind.
I’m just going to come out and say it…Rey may be a direct descendant of Omega.
Wait…before you run away screaming, hear me out.
I know even the mention of the Star Wars sequels conjures up a lot of emotion in the fandom.
This video isn’t to comfort anyone in their sadness over the films, and it isn’t being
made to revel in your happiness, if you love the movies.
It’s just here to point out something that may or may not be a decent Star Wars theory.
Before I go on, hit the subscribe button and give the video a thumbs up.
Now, back to the topic.
Let’s start with the Bad Batch.
In season 1, when we meet Omega, she’s roughly 14 years old at the end of the Clone Wars.
That would put her at 33 years old during the Battle of Yavin.
Keep that in mind.
Anyways, Omega is called an exact clone of the original DNA benefactor.
Jango Fett.
With blonde hair and brown eyes, little is known about the youth.
We don’t know the purpose she was created and the writers haven’t went very far into
her abilities nor enhancements.
But from what we have seen so far, she seems to be at least slightly Force sensitive.
Now, cloning Force sensitivity into an individual has been described as nearly impossible.
It’s more a thing of luck, if it turns out that way.
But we have seen Omega look like she is able to meld with creatures…monsters…whatever
you want to call them.
So, there’s a slight case that Omega could be Force sensitive.
And let’s not forget that she is overly optimistic, to the point of it almost being
annoying.
But the rest of her character traits are being drawn out and kept secret for a reason.
In the novel, Shadow of the Sith, it’s noted that Rey’s mother had blonde hair and brown
eyes.
But the timeline doesn’t match up for Rey’s mother to be Omega.
Miramir was born in 6 BBY…or 6 years prior to A New Hope, when Omega was roughly 27 years
old.
But let’s look at Miramir’s MOTHER.
Wait…there’s nothing written about her, not that I can find.
No, Miramir, or Rey’s mother, was raised by her “grandmother.”
While it’s true that Omega doesn’t have birth parents, it isn’t a far stretch to
say that Omega may have been taken in by someone and adopted or looked after.
Yes, I know the Bad Batch is technically her family right now, but they have the enhanced
aging thing.
Okay, I’ll try to stop confusing you and keep things as clear as I can from here out.
In the Bad Batch season 1 we know that Omega was being stalked and hunted by the likes
of Cad Bane and Fennec Shand.
We also know the Empire isn’t too thrilled with the brothers of Clone Force 99 going
rogue.
So, they are also wanted…at least by Vice Admiral Rampart.
So, the clones, along with Omega are on the run.
Meaning, eventually their luck may run out.
But without stretching too far, it isn’t unlikely that they see the end of their time
coming and drop Omega to someone they can trust to look after her.
And the best place to do that is in the Outer Rim…where Rey’s mother was raised.
So, maybe Miramir’s grandmother she was raised by was someone who took Omega in.
Was Miramir’s mother omitted from the stories on purpose?
Possibly.
Are Omega’s abilities being hidden from us, or at least the knowledge of them stretched
out to keep them hidden for a big surprise?
Likely.
But let’s look at it this way.
Dathan, Rey’s father was a clone of Darth Sidious…aka Emperor Palpatine.
If Omega is Rey’s grandmother that means both her grandmother and grandfather are Force
sensitive clones.
If Omega is in fact Force sensitive.
But at the minimum, it would make Rey the descendant of two clones.
That would make for a nice backstory that would connect the prequels to the sequel trilogy.
And before any feathers get ruffled, I’m not saying Palpatine mated with Omega…gross.
Only that Omega and Rey’s father, Dathan are clones.
It would make for a really interesting backstory to Rey.
I know everyone doesn’t have to be related in the Star Wars universe and that it makes
Star Wars seem small…but Rey is already related to someone famous…Palpatine.
It would only help her story if Omega is in fact Rey’s grandmother…especially if Omega
turns out to be Force sensitive…which we are pretty sure she is.
But all these things can just be that I’m stretching for something.
I admit that.
But let’s look at a couple other clues.
As I mentioned before, Omega is able to calm beasts and learn about them.
Well, so is Rey.
Remember the basilisk in the Rise of Skywalker?
Now, I will give you this…for Omega to be Rey’s grandmother and for Omega’s daughter,
Miramir to meet Palpatine’s clone, Dathan and create a child named Rey, it would take
a lot of luck and chance.
But…all is as the Force wills it.
It would also explain a lot as to how Rey is so powerful, a Mary Sue if you prefer.
By having genes from two Force sensitives passed down to her, she could be extremely
strong with the Force.
And before anyone comments that the Force doesn’t work that way…I give you Luke
Skywalker and Leia Organa.
Both children of the most powerful Jedi of his time and both strong with the Force.
And THEY only had ONE parent strong in the Force.
I know a lot of people want the sequel trilogy retconned.
They would like the World Between Worlds to create an alternate timeline, or change the
events of the sequels.
Well, Dave Filoni has already stated that isn’t going to happen.
So, why not leave the sequels and make them stronger by creating more stories that can
help enhance it?
The same thing was done with the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
The Clone Wars enhanced the prequels to the point that we don’t hear as much of the
hate for those movies as we had following their release.
They took a live action movie series, created more stories through animation and helped
the movies.
If they are intending Omega to be a relation to Rey, they are taking a live action trilogy,
and creating an animation to enhance the films.
As George Lucas said, “it’s poetry.
Each stanza rhymes with the last.”
Personally, I think this will help the sequels.
Will it fix what some hate about them?
No, probably not.
A lot of people have made a lot of money off hating them.
But I’m not here to judge.
But as I said, this theory, if it’s true, may not fix the sequels.
But it will help explain one aspect…Rey…. who also has brown eyes.
Personally, I like the idea of making Omega Rey’s grandmother.
It would explain a lot of why Rey can use the Force with little training.
Omega seems to be able to use the Force without training, as well.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the story of Omega and the Bad Batch play
out.
It’s making me get into it a bit more.
If it doesn’t happen, I won’t be disappointed.
I’ll just take it for what it is.
It’s fun coming up with these theories and in my head they make sense.
If it doesn’t happen, maybe Dave Filoni has bigger ideas.
But I have a hard time believing the Bad Batch is just a show about veterans trying to survive,
and that’s it.
Every Star Wars story has an impact on one another and if that’s the case, then this
show will really be the first disconnected from larger themes and stories.
But let me know what you think in the comments.
I’d love to hear from you.
But please…I know a lot of people hate the sequels.
And that’s okay.
You’re entitled to your opinions.
But for the sake of this video, let’s not get a hundred comments about it.
