The Bad Batch: Who will survive the finale?
The Bad Batch Season 3 has been a great season of Star Wars television so far, and the best is yet to come. As the series finale approaches, we're left wondering if everyone will make it out alive. Here are the characters with the best and worst chances of surviving the show.
Best chance of survival
Omega
As someone who looks like she'll be important to the future of Star Wars, Omega is quite likely to survive the series. She's probably going to play a major role in freeing the Force-sensitive kids, and I expect her to live and be trained by Asajj Ventress.
Crosshair
Crosshair didn't come this far to only come this far. His redemption arc has been great to watch and he's going to make it and support his brothers and Omega for the rest of his life. Besides, killing some in Star Wars after they have been redeemed is such a tired trope. We'd love to see The Bad Batch do something new.
Wrecker
The writers would be ruthless to kill off a fun character like Wrecker. He's the the guy that provides the lighter moments in the show, but he's also shown growth as a character. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Wrecker makes it.
Worst chance of survival
Doctor Royce Hemlock
Doctor Royce Hemlock might be dead meat if there's any justice because most of us can't stand the guy. Imprisoning innocent kids who were stolen from their parents should be the last sick thing Hemlock does in his life. We'll be very pleased if he doesn't make it out of the show alive. Maybe he can get eaten by a Zillo Beast.
Hunter
Though it would be beyond crushing, the chances of Hunter not making it are quite high. Again, perhaps the show is gearing up for a happy ending, but if anyone is in danger, it's Hunter. He'll go to any length to protect Omega, which puts his life at great risk. He's also Omega's main father figure among the brothers, so fans will leave the series feeling heartbroken if anything happens to him.
Echo
The way Echo has been treated all season, apart from the last episode, makes me worry that he will be sacrificed. As the last member of Domino Squad from The Clone Wars, Echo has barely been around this season. Even though his absence is explained in the story, I feel like the writers don't know what to do with him anymore.
Doctor Emerie Karr
Emerie's redemption might come via the classical Star Wars route of self-sacrifice. She's continuing to work for the Empire even though she understands well what they're doing wrong. I expected her to consider leaving as soon as Omega escaped, but she continued. Now, she's sickened as she watches more and more babies being held captive for Project Necromancer. She's going to do something about it, but it could demand the highest sacrifice from her.
