i hope rampart isnt going to try to sell the batch out to get his name cleared… sure, the clones like getting the opportunity to kick the shit out of him, but at least they have a tangible moral code and wouldn’t kill him at the end of this mission just for funsies. he learned his lesson that the empire couldn’t gaf about him if they tried right? and that they would have no reason to keep promises to him even if he helped them???

I know we talk about Crosshair reuniting with his brothers but what about Gonky? He sees Crosshair and waddles up to him with a gonk gonk.

I’M EXCITED!

I’m gonna jump into the boat of choosing to believe in the writer’s vision. I do want these characters to get out alive and well and have this family be restored, but a story without struggle isn’t nearly as fulfilling. I want to believe that this squad of soldiers, constantly pulled together and apart, will end up where they always should have been - at their family’s side.

I feel a lot of us are under this storm cloud thats about to release all hell, and I cannot blame anyone. This is dark season, I thought season 2 with Crosshair’s torture was terrible but s3 has put on the pressure.

But I have prediction :D

I’m on the team that Emerie will make the leap: hand over a giant red button and thundering music behind her. There’s something different about her, that unquestionable obedience and restraint gone. Her red lenses at her feet. The looming vat of blue in front of her, a monstrous shadow stretching over her. The button beeps, an alarm booming to life as the liquid in the tank lowers, a long arm twitching to life. Cuts to a poisonous green eye snapping open.

The scene cut to black as glass cracks, a monumental growl echoing into the dark.

That’s how episode 14 will leave and where the final will leave off.

#just some thoughts #optimism boat #im sure it wont sink #i just really like this show #and i feel like the writers would want to do right by these characters #i could totally be off base since I haven’t been with the show very long #but here is to HOPE #which is very on brand for Star Wars lol #thoughts aloud #tbb #the bad batch #the bad batch season 3 #tbb season 3 #tbb predictions #the bad batch predictions #i think a YouTuber talked about this theory - Generation Tech! i have to share his channel its great

[antoinettesb]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGemXnWB6/ just saw this tiktok - we’re so fucked doomed.

(what’s said in the TikTok: TBB S3 finale’s episode’s name will be “The cavalry has arrived” which is the introduction sentence of TBB first appearance in TCW)

But you know what will also be terrible? Rewatching the series after its finale and then noticing all the fucking foreshadowing. 😭😭 It will be the simple sentences they casually drop and it’ll hurt.

In fact, this masterful poetry in combination with the similarity of both the TCW and TBB finale seasons’ covers…

Son of a biscuit eater this will hurt.

Episodes 6&7 Predictions:

Some of these contradict each other because I have multiple theories on how the next two episodes will pan out.

‘Infiltration’ and ‘Extraction’ refer either to someone allied with Hemlock and the empire infiltrating Pabu to get to Omega, or the batch/Rex’s rebellion infiltrating the empire to get to a rogue clone (possibly Wolffe)

Omega worries that her presence puts the people around her in danger

Hemlock tries to flush out Omega by harming civilians until she shows herself

Omega attempts to bargain with Hemlock: she goes with him willingly if he leaves Pabu and her family alone. I’m 50/50 on him actually honouring any kind of deal

There’s some kind of conflict between Hunter being afraid to lose Omega again and Omega feeling like his attempts to protect her are a sign he doubts her abilities

The re-educated clone assassins make an appearance

Phee returns and does something cool

Emerie returns and does something morally ambiguous

Hunter snaps for real this time. I’m talking single-minded homicidal rage, stabbing a guy who’s already dead type of snapping

If he does, it leads to conflict with Wrecker, Crosshair, and Echo

Rex and the clone rebellion make an appearance

Wolffe returns, and we get some more information about why he’s so afraid that the Jedi will come for revenge (and still in contact with the empire) by the time of rebels

Cody returns or is mentioned

Crosshair’s accuracy with his rifle is a plot point

Batcher ends up being single-handedly responsible for the gang’s emotional well-being

We find out more about the nature of the experiments done at mount Tantiss

An allusion to what happened to Hemlock’s hand

Multiple theories about what happened to tech are either confirmed or disproven

Senator Chuchi receives the Sheev Palpatine award for excellence in politics (killed for meddling in the emperor’s plans)

Nala Se gaslights Hemlock again

[inkstainedhandswithrings]

I finally caved, so

Predictions for the final Bad Batch Episodes!

Ep 10: Retrieval

Fairly certain this'll be the Batch getting off that planet, though its most likely them retrieving their ship somehow. I'm still holding out hope that Echo and Rex will be the ones to end up getting them though, since I get the feeling Cid will be a no-show. Which might finally get Hunter to see that she does not at all have their best interest at heart. Which leads us to:

Ep 11: Metamorphosis

I'd love it if this was either just Crosshair or Hunter and Crosshair paralleled. Meaning we watch Crosshair starting to reject the Empire and Hunter starting to want to join the rebellion. Either one of those would be more than acceptable to me.

Though I wouldn't mind another cute filler. I'm thinking something like a huge butterfly that Omega ends up riding or something, but my imagination is probably running away with me. (butterfly bc yanno caterpillar and like metamorphosis. you get it.)

Ep 12: The Outpost

REX AND ECHO EPISODE, REX AND ECHO EPISODE, REX AND ECHO EPISODE PLEASE

(but srsly, we know that Echo and Omega see each other again, bc they share that hug that we got from leaked pics. not the one from the ep 8, there'll be another one. my moneys on either next ep, or this one. Something abt the batch helping out with another mission or Echo needing them and them coming to his base or something. Either way, gotta be one of these two.)

Ep 13: Pabu

Gotta be filler. Probably some wise-cracking oldie, who takes Omega on an inspirational wisdom journey or something. That or another kid who's just there to wreak havoc with Omega and give Hunter even more aggressive Dad Vibes™

Ep 14: Tipping Point

I'm betting Cross on this one 100%. This'll be his breaking point, this'll be when he needs his brothers back. Would love a little batch teaming up with Rex and Echo to get Crosshair out, since that's what those two do now :) (this would not be the ep where they actually get him out. Just the one where he decides he wants out and reaches out to the Batch or Rex or something)

Ep 15 + Ep 16: The Summit & Plan 99

Them getting Crosshair out. I think if someone's gonna die this season it's gonna be in one of these two episodes. Probably a lot of epic fire fights, schemy little plans and way too many feels for all of us to handle. I'm so excited :)

[redbean-nom]

honestly echo is probably going to die heroically in the next two episodes. he's not with rex, gregor, and wolffe in rebels, he's not with the greater rebellion, and Echo Base exists.

what i'm more curious about is when cody gets his own heroic sacrifice. he's not with rex and he's not with obi wan, so unless he also fell in a sarlacc or got carbonited, he's definitely dead.

anyways, the last episode's title is The Cavalry Has Arrived. and who could be a more fitting "cavalry" than Cody?

#star wars #tbb #the bad batch #tbb s3 #tbb finale #tbb predictions #commander cody #redbean talks #imagine they're all trapped and the commandos are closing in #the batch is injured/down #rex is stunned or cuffed or something #then someone from above snipes cx2/scorch/whoevers in command #and cody drops down to save everyone #cue emotional mid battle reunion between rex and cody #and honestly the whole batch and cody given that he seems to have a tendency towards adopting younger mutant clones lol #the base starts blowing up in the background and more stormtroopers/chipped clones run in as reinforcements #cody stays to hold them off while everyone else runs #and echo runs back to stay with cody #framed parallel to his death in the citadel #but this time they're both sacrificing themselves not for the mission but for their brothers #(mostly for rex) #and then by the time of rebels rex sees it as cody & echo sacrificed themselves so that he could continue saving brothers #but now he only has wolffe and gregor. the clone rebellion failed; he failed; their deaths were for nothing #so he doesn't want to return to the rebellion #because he's afraid he'll fail again #given that rex supplied the list of bases (now apparently left over from his time as rebellion leader) no way echo base is a coincidence #wolffe probably formally retired given that he's still on speaking terms with imp leadership in rebels #(also v funny that wolffe's imp buddies skype call him somewhat regularly in rebels #while being completely unaware of rex hanging out in the back)

[itsjustmesuckers]

Alright so I have a theory.

About plan 88 and plan 99.

They said plan 88 was the plan to hide right. He said they were coming for Omega and they needed to hide. What if plan 99 goes along with that.

The seeker. Like hide and seek. Plan 88 is hide, plan 99 is seek. What if plan 99 is the seeker and they're going to find crosshair with plan 99 because when someone hides you seek in hide and seek right. That doesn't really make much sense but you know.

I don't usually share my theories because I hate being wrong lol. But this has been constantly running through my head since I heard him say plan 88.

Please add anything if you think of things I don't know what to do with my life.

The Bad Batch and Healing in Season 3

I know we want the batch to be okay, to find each other again. I know we want the clones to be okay. I know we want to see hugs and heartfelt conversations and healing.

I know a thing or two about events that change your life forever. Conversations do not come quickly. It can take years. Some will never happen with certain people. Hugs may come or you may be left with an eternal yearning to cross a great emotional divide that seems to go on forever with no idea how to ask for what you need. You may sit in solitude while surrounded by many people and many more fears. You may feel ready to embrace those you love, but they may not be ready yet and the fear of more rejection, no matter how small, can eat you up in the depths of the night when you can't sleep no matter how exhausted you are.

Healing can come, but it takes a long time. Even with time, you'll forever be changed. The course of your life went in a different direction and even if you find those you love and are in a place of safety, finding that new equilibrium is an enormous challenge.

So even if you see hugs and conversations, know that is only the beginning. While I hope we will get some resolution and heartfelt moments, I also know it makes complete sense that it won't all be fixed immediately.

[arcadianmoonshadowjedi]

My theories (and some hopes) on how Season 3 of The Bad Batch might go:

I think I’ll do this in bullet points so that it’s better organized. Since this is a pretty long post, I'll keep it under the cut.

The season would probably start off with Hunter, Wrecker and Echo continuing their search for Omega, but are seeking help from Rex and other clone rebels they’re working with. Heck maybe Senator Chuchi hearing about Omega being captured, she’ll be completely devastated and will do everything in her power to find out more about Hemlock and help the batch with info they would need.

I personally don’t think the batch would find Omega in episode 1 or early in the season, but are working hard to find her. They may even have failed mission attempts along the way.

PHEE!!! Poor Phee! 😭 I’m definitely sure she’d be heartbroken about Tech and devastated about Omega getting captured (the last thing she told her I can’t 😭😭). I think she would join the batch in their rescue efforts.

FERAL RUTHLESS BROODY HUNTER NOT STOPPING AT ANYTHING UNTIL HE GETS HIS DAUGHTER BACK!!!! 😤

At the same time, Hunter will be shattered and feel like a failed leader 🥺💔 He’ll feel like he failed to keep his squad safe and together and blame himself for losing Tech and Omega and eventually break (Please let this man cry!!! He’s been through so much he needs it!) Aaaaand I think he might have so many conflicting feelings on Crosshair (might make a separate post for this one).

Poor Wrecker will probably not be as cheerful and goofy this time around 🥺

Echo trying to convince Hunter to join the clone rebels even after they rescue Omega since the Empire won’t stop being a threat but Hunter’s still traumatized from losing Tech and Omega and is brutally terrified of the Empire’s power (and honestly he has every right to be). He just wants to settle down and put his soldier days behind him.

Would actually love to see more of Wrecker’s stance on whether to fight the empire or not, since he loves anything that goes “BOOM” and loves to put up a good fight (and would bet that he would love to see the Empire burn) but he also enjoyed something as peaceful as fishing on Pabu PLUSSS he was actually full for the first time! It was so good to see him happy! 🙌🏽

More on Phee, I feel like she might be a shoulder that the batch can lean on, someone to help them through their grief and trauma. She helped them so much in season 2 and I can see her continuing that.

I know this one’s controversial but just hear me out. I’m angry at Cid more than anything right now, Buuuuuuut I still can’t ignore how sad she was when she betrayed the batch even though that doesn’t justify what she did. So, my theory is that she will feel so much regret because she knows what she did was beyond effed up and will try to make things right with the batch, even offering to help them find and save Omega. Obviously the batch would hate her and not trust her nor are they willing to forgive her (and they have every right not to) and refuse her help several times. Heck I would love to see Hunter in a fit of rage scream at her that if it hadn’t been for her, Omega would’ve still been with them and not in the hands of the Empire. Cid feels so much regret for putting Omega in danger since I know she’s always had a soft spot for her regardless of all the times Cid did them wrong, so obviously she would have to do everything beyond her power and genuinely try to regain the batch’s trust and show that she definitely wants to help them (ofc she would also have to accept that her days of exploiting the batch will never come back and prove it to them). I guess she might be key in getting important intel for saving Omega and they may have to reluctantly trust her? (Then ofc I would still want them to permanently part ways with Cid afterwards because she’s done enough to them and doesn’t deserve their forgiveness like ever).

We could also be getting a lot of focus on Omega and Crosshair on Mt Tantiss simultaneously with the batch attempting their rescue efforts. Crosshair would be shocked that Omega’s there despite him previously trying to warn the batch to hide. Omega fills him in and tells him they tried to save him but Tech “died”. I think we’ll see him devastated and potentially feel guilty for not being there to protect him or feel that his attempted rescue was the cause. Either way I still feel like Crosshair will feel so much guilt over his past actions with the empire and betraying his brothers and Omega trying to assure him that it wasn’t his fault or something like that. Definitely would love to see lots of Crosshair and Omega bonding!

Omega trying to devise a plan to escape the facility and trying to get Crosshair to help her but he feels like it’s hopeless. Omega being herself refuses to give up and thinks that there’s a way to reach her other brothers and is trying to get Crosshair to not give up.

Omega will probably scold Emerie for working with the empire on doing experiments and torturing her own brothers and it potentially may be revealed that Emerie is forced to do this?

More backstory on Emerie and potentially Omega(?), maybe force sensitive Omega gets confirmed but at this point I’m not even sure (this could be a post for another time).

Emerie might redeem (?) and help Omega and Crosshair escape covertly, but can’t stop experimenting on her brothers. Maybe until later?

I would predict that if there would be a successful rescue mission, it would be during the midseason. Maybe Crosshair and Omega might be able to send a transmission to their brothers in secret with Emerie’s help?

HUNTER AND OMEGA HUG PLZZZZZZZ 😭❤️ PLZZ DAVE I NEED THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING!!! Plus seeing Hunter and Omega reunite after everything that’s happened and all that time they were separated, I think a hug would be most impactful here!! I wanna see Hunter be the one to initiate the hug and hold her so tight! 😭 I wanna see him be so tender with her and Omega hugging him in tears so happy that she’s back with her dad! 😭❤️

I need a happy reunion not just with Hunter but I wanna see Echo and Wrecker being ecstatic that Omega’s back!!! 😭❤️ Ofc I will not forget about Phee!!

I almost forgot, AZI!!! I love this droid so much and I hope he can be more active this season and we can see Omega back with her bestie!

Omega would probably get a new weapon since I think her energy bow is long gone 🥲

Crosshair rejoins the batch! But wait. Just because he’s back, doesn’t mean that everything’s back to normal. Wrecker might be the happiest to have him back but still wouldn’t be his playful goofy self around him just yet. I feel like the one relationship that needs the most mending is Hunter and Crosshair and hopefully we see that play out. They both need to work on rebuilding trust and forgiveness in each other. Crosshair will still probably feel guilty and try to make things right with his remaining brothers and re-earn their trust and forgiveness.

More on the last point though, I feel that despite the damage in Hunter and Crosshair’s relationship, Hunter still genuinely cares so much about his brother (which I might elaborate in another post as mentioned above). Once he finds out what happened to him on Mt Tantiss, I can bet that he’ll go feral on Hemlock and everyone in that operation.

Now here’s another theory on the darker and less cheerful side. I’m definitely believing that Tech is still alive since we neither saw him hit the ground nor did we see his body and that’s a general rule in the Galaxy. Heck we saw Maul get cut in half and survive, Anakin get burned alive and survive, Boba was trapped in the Sarlacc for who knows how long and guess what? He survived that! Hunter even fell from up high on Daro and was able to use his vibro knife to ease the impact of the fall along with the trees helping, and I don’t even believe he got injured from that. So I definitely think Tech is smart enough to find a means to survive the fall somehow. He had his legs broken in the season 2 premiere and yet he still managed to follow Echo and Omega and hold his own in combat against several troopers, so unless we see some sort of confirmation, I’m convinced he managed to survive.

More on the last point, I definitely think that he would be pretty badly injured or potentially in a coma. His goggles may have fallen off which caused them to break so if Tech managed to wake up, he could’ve potentially escaped(?). I’m definitely leaning more towards Hemlock finding him unconscious and taking him to Mt Tantiss for experimentation (potentially Winter Solider-type experiments or something similar to what the techno union did to Echo(?)), but he’s being held separately. And he was merely using Tech’s goggles against the batch to manipulate them.

As for how the batch would find out about him being alive, I definitely have multiple theories about this. Either Omega and Crosshair could find out while they were at Mt Tantiss and try to rescue him. Or the rescue attempt might fail but they might tell the batch and they may have to attempt a different rescue effort. Ooooooor I think Emerie might be assigned to work on him but might end up helping him out (Ok I know I keep bringing her up but I just can’t see her as genuinely evil). I feel like he could either get rescued with Crosshair and Omega or towards the end? Would he end up with cybernetic enhancements? Brainwashed into fighting his brothers? So many questions!! 😭 And again, Phee!!! I would love to imagine how a rescue effort or reunion would look like! I think we would all know how it would play out in different situations! 🙌🏽

But seriously if Tech’s alive and well and recused by the batch, I wanna see a happy reunion! 😭

CLONE UPRISING AND REBELLION!!! BRING DOWN MT TANTISS OPERATION ONCE AND FOREALL!! 😤🙌🏽 SAVE THE CLONES!! JUSTICE FOR THE CLONES!! 🙌🏽

I think the clones trying to take down Mt Tantiss might be the finale plot of the season. If word does get out about Mt Tantiss, I think Palpatine might handle Hemlock the same way he handled Rampart, while still maintaining even more secretive cloning operations on other planets, including Exegol(?).

Not in the intended order but maaaaaybe we get a teen Penn Pershing??? It would totally make sense considering his research being focused in cloning and that he started his career young!

Will we see Pabu again? Lyanna? Shep? So many questions I have around this one.

Theories on who might die this season:

Unless this would be the final season (idk if it would be since I feel like there’s a lot of storytelling potential, ideally up until season 4 or 5), I highly doubt any of the batch would die too soon. And I honestly would rather them not die since I feel like having main characters die at the end is so overused in SW it would actually be satisfying to see a happy ending for once. Esp for the clones since they were created to be “dispensable military units” and I really wanna see not only the batch, but several of the surviving clones being given the chance to live normal lives outside being soldiers. 🥲🤞🏽

Nala Se: I’ve had a theory for a while that she might get killed trying to free Omega or keep her safe from the empire. Even though this will never justify her past actions, she might also have regrets(?). I feel like Omega would break down from this.

Emerie: though I’m against redemption=death for the most part, I feel like she might killed trying to help Omega and Crosshair or if she stands up to Hemlock and refuses to work for him any longer (again I maybe stretching it with her not being a villain or her potentially getting redeemed but the fact that she’s a clone opens up so much potential for her).

Lama Su: Plzzzzzzzz!! I would love to see this man get killed and not get his freedom! He totally doesn’t deserve it!

Hemlock(?): Not sure if he would get killed or arrested like Rampart? But honestly it would be satisfying to see him get killed eventually.

Any clone we may have known or yet to know (since tbb writers love making us fall in love with these clones then killing them 🥲)

Phee(?): I really hope not, but at the same time I’m trying not to only focus on characters I hate/dislike with this list.

Aaaaaand that’s all I have. I know this is a super long post so I congratulate you for making it to the end lol. Of course, these are all just my opinions and theories so any or all of them could be wrong. What do you think? Feel free to comment and reblog if you wanna add anything! 😊✌🏽
