With this final episode the Bad Batch has come to a close, and while they all made it, time is still moving.
Tantiss has fallen, the empire has relocated their resources to building the death star, Omega has officially slipped through the cracks and gets to live a peaceful life... until of course you realize that the empire is still reigning the galaxy and Omega wants to fight them alongside the rebellion.
Seeing this show end is bittersweet. On one hand, I could have gone through more adventures with the Batch, on the other I wished them to get a break, which they get. However, seeing them grow old, the underlying factor of their accelerated aging, hurts just the same. The war is still going on. But at least they got to live out the quiet life.
What I can say overall to the episode: it was a deserved finale, despite the pacing issues. That it was 50min long definitely helped with wrapping everything up and you get the feeling that the writers took their time with this season, even though I feel they could've been more daring with the execution of the plot, involve the clones more, dive even deeper into the conflict.
But in the end, it didn't disappoint. It found a way to keep the tension, have the viewer feel like the characters were in danger and hit the emotional beats. We got an ending that is satisfying and hopeful. A happy end for a group of soldiers that knew nothing but fighting their entire lives.
