Hilarious Rebels/Bad Batch crossover idea:
Everyone is chilling on Yavin 4 in a rare moment of peace. They’re enjoying this little respite to rest and recover. The Spectres is enjoying their time together, especially since they were able to get Rex and Kallus outside to enjoy some fresh air around the Ghost.
And then a heavily-modified Omicron class shuttle from the late Republic and early Empire era comes in for a hasty landing. It’s an . . . unusual approach to say the least, complete with a specific turn and a touch-down that few pilots would dare to attempt.
Everyone, especially the Spectres, are interested in what this means.
Hera remembers this ship and what its occupants did to help Ryloth during the early Imperial period. Kanan gets leery, by contrast, since he remembers Kaller.
And Rex just laughs, gets up, and casually strolls over to the shuttle.
When the shuttle opens, a blonde woman emerges from inside like a bat out of hell, rushing over to hug Rex. He is equally as excited to see her, retuning that big hug with equal enthusiasm. The spectators can hear the gonking of a GNK droid echoing from inside.
The woman is wearing an amalgamation of several different clone trooper armor pieces with some unique adaptations. Zeb is the first to comment on the massive knife attached to her thigh and the smaller one sheathed on her forearm. Kallus responds with an observation about the Zygerrian bow she’s carrying. (Using that weapon takes practice and skill.) Ezra is intrigued by the unique design of the helmet she’s carrying, especially with the skull motif on it.
Before anyone can ask who this woman is or how she found the Rebellion, Rex asks, “So, why do you need a cover story when your brothers call me in a huff?”
The woman grins and pulls out a ratty old red bandana from a pouch on her hip. (She’s got more pouches than seem necessary on her person, but she seems to know what is where.) That makes Rex howl with laughter.
“It was either this or Echo’s legs . . . and I already stole those as a prank three times,” the woman replies. “This was harder to steal honestly, but it was completely worth it!”
“This is why you’re my favorite sister, ‘Megs. I haven’t seen Hunter without that thing on in . . . maybe since Bracca actually. You know he’s going to call me to see if I know where you are, right?” Rex tells her.
Neither seem to notice the audience growing around them. With that landing and the age of the shuttle, how could there not be an audience? If they do notice their audience, they clearly don’t care. Their reunion is more important to them to worry about that.
The woman gives Rex a sly smirk. “Of course, he will. And you get to witness first hand the annoyance of Hunter with a terrible haircut. Cross pulled out the clippers again while Hunter was napping.”
That seems to make Rex’s day.
“Don’t tell me what new haircut he got. I want to be surprised.” Rex finally deigns to notice the group watching him. The Ghost crew especially seem fascinated by who this woman is. He slings an around her shoulder and asks, “Why is everyone so interested in my sister all of a sudden? You haven’t seem siblings reunite before?”
“We didn’t know you have a sister,” Sabine asks carefully. (She’s fascinated by the modifications to the shuttle. There’s no way it should be in as good condition as it is at its age.)
The woman shakes her head. “Hera did. She’s met our brothers and my squad before.”
Hera grins and laughs. “I have. It’s great to see you again, Omega. How are your brothers, by the way.”
“Oh fantastic. I’ll tell you about what they’re up to over dinner, if that’s okay with you. Rex should be getting a very annoyed call any time now from Pabu. Hunter will have looked in the mirror by now. I promised Tech and Wrecker I’d record Rex’s reaction,” the newly-named Omega says.
And that’s when Kanan finally finds his words.
“How the kriff are Rex and Clone Force 99 your brothers? They’re clones - male clones,” he asks, a myriad of emotions in his voice.
Omega sighs. This isn’t the first time that she’s had this conversation.
“Well, let’s just say some of us are little . . . deviant from the standard mold,” she replies. “Though, we prefer to be called the Bad Batch.”

are you guys watching the circle ⭕️? you should be watching the circle ⭕️! I just finished binging it and I have never been this invested in a reality show in my LIFE
Shubham - my little baby, he is SO SWEET! It’s clear that he really has little to no social media experience and it comes through in the super open and earnest way he’s interacting and connecting with most people. Definition of Pure™️. He’s one of the most genuine people on here and I just know he’s going to get his heart broken when the realized how many things weren’t as they seemed
Joey - I liked his energy from the start and then some things made me pull back and wait while I reassessed. But he proved that beyond his big dumb loud italian mouth and his slightly douchey/bro tendencies he has a core of genuine honestly and kindness. His moment with Miranda was really sweet and every single emotion he was feeling shined through very openly on his face and in his voice, that man really wears his heart on his sleeve
Chris - he is just so real, fearless, multi-faceted and fucking funny as hell. Clearly has a heart of solid gold. Unapologetic about any part of himself and I think that his reasons for wanting to win are probably the most understandable and relatable. His heart to heart with karyn really made me tear up and I love how they built each other up as lgbt fellows
Sammie - she’s super cute and fun, very real and honest and of course I had to support a bi-con when I see one. I’ve been hearing that people apparently aren’t being kind to/about her and I really don’t get that? I don’t think her “bitchy” moments were any wilder than anyone else’s that we still love and most of what she’s said and done haven’t come from a malicious or bad place!
Seaburn/Rebecca - THIS GUY IS SO FUCKING FUNNY. I literally have had to pause the show to laugh my ass off almost every time he’s on the screen. I love how much he loves his girlfriend and how determined he is to win for her despite how bad catfishing makes him feel and I love that you can tell how much FUN he’s having playin the game.
Adam/Alex - wow I really don’t like this guy at all lmao. He seems to really love his wife, I thought his nerdy personality would make him like able at first and the wardrobe choices are..........interesting but the way he’s playing his catfish with the girls is SO off putting and I can’t believe he thinks it’ll be a winning strategy. I still love shubbie but I was so surprised he saved “adam” over miranda.
Sean - she just joined the cast and we don’t know much about her but she seems like a nice, fun person and I wish she’d just joined the circle as herself. Idk why she didn’t think her personality and her looks would be enough to win people over. However, I don’t understand why she gave up the ghost in the most recent episode and I’m very curious how that’s going to work out for her in this game.
Bill - he seems nice, maybe a little devious? I can’t get a very strong read on him but I was surprised he took the portrait mode challenge as an opportunity to gun for adam/alex considering how happy and friendly everyone else was being with theirs lmaooooooooo
Ed/Tammy - to be honest, Ed’s energy was immediately offputting and considering how little time there is left in the game, I don’t think we’ll get to know much else about him to change that first impression. Coming onto the show and co-playing with his mom was a very out-there strategy especially considering how out of touch she seems to be but maybe it’ll work out for him, idk.
As for who I’m rooting for, I have so much love in my heart for joey, chris, shubham, and seaburn that as long as the winner is someone we started with from the original circle ⭕️ crew, I will be satisfied.
