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! 😊✌🏽
