YOOOO 👀
need these two on my screen again more than i need oxygen
I bet one of the happiest moments in Hunter's life would be finding out that Omega got promoted from sergeant.
This is so adorable, lovely headcanon ♥️
Since the day she first encountered dirt, Omega developed a special interest in every type of terrain that can be found in the galaxy and their various properties.
The moment she steps on a new planet she dips her hands in the dirt and collects some to take back to the ship.
She info dumps so much about it, that Hunter has found himself dreaming about dirt more than once, he’s kind of scared of this.
Canon as far as I'm concerned
Yeah, I love both but prefer but Omega's story just resonated with me more.
Genuinely would love to see them meet. They have such polar opposite worldviews despite sharing the same traumatic experience of losing a sibling. Similar circumstances too, both Tech and Steela fell to their deaths and both losses were sudden and untimely. Plus the extra layer of Saw being at least partly responsible (or fully depending on who you ask) for Tech's loss.
Basically let Omega beat the shit out of Saw after a lengthy philosophical discussion. 🧐🔪
No wonder he left
It's quite interesting how TBB wrapped up the Project Necromancer plot in a way that works just as well with the sequels as it does without them. I think that's kinda neat tbh.
Some thoughts on "attachments" in Star Wars:
For as long as I can remember, there has seemed to be a lot of confusion around whether "attachments" are actually good or bad... And I think much of the confusion stems from the fact that "attachments" and "relationships" are almost always used interchangeably within the stories, even though they really shouldn't be.
Let's be clear: "attachments" as in selfish obsession/possession of self/others along with the inability to let go of people/objects/experiences IS A BAD THING because 1) that's not actually love and 2) acting on that fear of losing self/others is what makes one fall to the Dark Side. Anakin fell to the Dark Side because he acted on his selfish fear of losing his wife, rather than acting out of his love for her. He was redeemed later because he acted on his selfless love for his son. Anakin wasn't lost because he had a relationship; he fell because he insisted on acting selfishly - he had an attachment to Padme and wouldn't relinquish this possessive obsession with her.
However, the prequels establish that the Jedi Order mistakenly equated "attachments" with "love/relationships" - yeah, sure, compassion is fine, but according to the Jedi Order one apparently can't actually feel selfless love toward biological family members or spouses or children so they're just going to nip those relationships in the bud: if you join the Jedi, it must be when you are a child before you develop any clear memory of your biological family, and creating a nuclear family of your own is grounds for being dismissed from the Jedi Order.
I am very much pro-Jedi, but I have always - always, even as a kid - found the above application of avoiding attachments to be wrong. Just flat out wrong. It doesn't make the Jedi Order evil, of course, nor does it make the individual Jedi bad. Still, forbidding not only romantic but also familial relationships in the name of avoiding attachment is a mistaken, flawed, incorrect application of the principle.
And yet, Star Wars itself throws around the term "attachments" so loosely it still tends to be conflated with "relationships."
This view is even reiterated in Bad Batch, when Ventress tells the brothers that if Omega was Force sensitive and did want to train to wield the Force, she'd have to leave them behind. Of course, given that Ventress is partially a product of the prequel-era Jedi Order understanding of attachments, I guess it makes sense that she'd perpetuate this interpretation; however, it still muddies what is supposed to be the actual definition of "attachment."
Heck, even Din Djarin doesn't really understand what is meant by "attachment" - the Armorer tells him Jedi are to forego all attachment and Din replies that this is the opposite of the Mandalorian Creed which endorses loyalty and solidarity. They AREN'T opposites: loyalty and unity are not Dark Side traits nor do they define attachment (and I'm pretty sure the Jedi endorsed unity with each other) - in many ways, such traits are selfless. But the mistaken idea that attachment = relationships keeps being perpetuated.
Frankly, that's why I'm still a little disappointed by how Luke words the ultimatum to Grogu. Grogu needed the opportunity to make a choice, of course, and staying with Din might interrupt his Jedi training anyway should Din decide against staying on Ossus himself (which, let's be real, Din would do anything for Grogu so I doubt that would be an issue...); but framing it that Grogu choosing Din means "giving in to attachment" lowkey makes me want to pull my hair out. Grogu's love for Din is not and does not have to be selfish. He can still shun the Dark Side and act on the Light Side of the Force, act out of a place of calm and peace and selflessness in the defense and interest of those he cares for - and actually, he consistently does this in season 3, which is great to see. I just kinda wish Star Wars would more clearly and openly acknowledge this distinction between "attachment" and "relationships."
Because really, avoiding attachment to keep oneself open to the Light Side of the Force (and away from the Dark) can be boiled down to: **Don't be selfish and angry; do be selfless and calm.** Really, that's all there is to it. And Star Wars does a stellar job displaying this - with Jedi, too! - in the form of Kanan and Ezra in Rebels, so I hope they make this idea more common in the future.
Come to think of it, they do have an opportunity to pull off a similar feat in Rey's new movie and firmly establish what "attachment" really is, distinct from "relationships" - and if they do, well, I'll be ecstatic!
I'll never get over how smol™ she was back in S1, especially compared to Boba at around the same age.
Omega tucking herself in closer to Hunter when she’s scared !!! I’m unwell
A song for each Bad Batcher

The moment I saw that scene I knew exactly who it was for
Hunter in the opening scene of S2 E13 >>>
Bonus under the cut:
Not a day goes by where I don’t think about this table roll here ^^ He really said stop drop and roll lmao
(even though I feel like the blurriness of this pic captures the silliness of the moment, it also really makes me wish I could make gifs and not just crappy screenshots but anyways)
Since she becomes a pilot I expect her kill count to be in the thousands at least by the end of the war. Couldn't be more proud 🥹
She is a cinnamon role
Nothing can make me hate Star Wars, even if it gets to a point where everything new disappoints me I'll always have old favourites to return to.
Ok you know what, let's spread some positivity. Reblog this if you actually like Star Wars
And I am refering to all of star wars and not just select parts of it. Even if you have issues with parts of it, you still enjoy it.
They could use the two blaster bolts to kill Vader and Palpatine then use the empty blaster to beat Hemlock.
Clone Force 99: If I had a blaster with two bolts left in it and I was in a room with Palpatine, Vader, and Hemlock, I would shoot Hemlock twice.
And this is how we get her in Andor S2
MiniPoe, lamenting Tech's death in rather violent fashion: I know he has plot armor but I kinda want to see the Bad Batch try to get revenge on Saw for murdering Tech.
Me: okay well he didn't *murder* Tech, words mean things, and als - OH holy shit we don't know exactly when Omega joined the rebellion or how Saw got fucked up what if Omega fucked up Saw??
So this is how I find out today's his birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEE BRADLEY BAKER!!!
I'm a short boy like Hunter, also Omega was so tiny in S1 😭
Reblog with your height compared to the bad batch ✨
Din Djarin didn't want to rule Mandalore, so he didn't. He didn't force himself into a "calling" or "destiny" he didn't want. Instead, he found a decent Mandalorian who wanted to reunite the people and reclaim Mandalore, found a way to make said Mandalorian the Mand'alor, and supported the people's efforts to unite and take back their homeworld.
Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Omega rebelled against the Empire by refusing to align themselves with the new system, and Crosshair eventually joined them. Echo felt the need to "do more" and wanted to commit full time to much larger-scale endeavors; but the others didn't want to do that, so they didn't. Instead, they supported Echo and Rex by giving them a standing offer to help when needed, and they helped with much smaller-scale efforts when and where they could.
I just love that these stories show that you can still be a good person, a hero, even if you decide your priority is to focus on raising/training your kid instead of ruling, even if you decide you're not going to join the Empire (a dangerous decision in and of itself) but you're not going to go out of your way to pick fights with them either, even if you decide you're going to retire and give your kid/sister a chance at a relatively peaceful childhood instead of staying in the bigger fight.
Many times, heroics occur on a more personal basis.
And we need the small-scale heroes as much as we need the larger-scale ones.
The Bad Batch as overprotective brothers towards Omega this, the Bad Batch preventing Omega from having a boyfriend that, but no one's really a true visionary here...
The Bad Batch as Crosshair's overprotective siblings. The idea that everyone (including and emphasizing Omega) is ready to annihilate the shitty guy Crosshair likes for the moment is hilarious, especially since we know the Bad Batch is right and Crosshair's crush is indeed shit.
Bless whoever first captured this screenshot.
I. Cannot. Stop. Laughing. 😂😂😂
