Five things I really liked:
1. Rex didn’t show up with the Calvary, they stayed true to the show’s name and the Bad Batch was the Calvary.
2. Rampart stayed true to himself, an opportunist (they didn’t try to make him a hero).
3. While I knew Crosshair was going to make that shot, I still felt a great unease that he could miss…great buildup to that tension.
4. They didn’t make Omega force sensitive, at least I see nothing that suggests it. She’s a capable pilot trained by Tech and the rest of the Batch.
5. All the rumors and speculation that Tech had survived to become a Clone X were thankfully wrong. Tech died a hero’s death…Plan 99!

What I’m still missing: an explanation as to Cody’s fate.

They never showed the ecological devastation caused on Tantiss in coming decades due to the Zillo beast, the biggest invasive species in galactic history

[michaelgualtieri]

Usually, it takes one blaster shot to kill someone. And considering Hemlock wasn't wearing any kind of armor, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he was probably already dead after at least the 2nd shot. Hunter & Crosshair just wanted to keep shooting the prick till he fell over 😅

[isaackim]

It really got me when Governor Tarkin’s flagship is an ISD while the other two are still Venators. Must be the first ship out of the line

The batch surviving makes techs sacrifice worth it

[wkadams]

I'm just impressed they had the cajones to keep Tech dead. Makes me miss him even more.

Two small details that were kinda cool
Echo stuns the troopers in the hangar, instead of killing them in front of the kids.
Crosshair's tremor was always in his right hand and he takes the pivotal shot with his left, using Hunter as a support.

The finale really subverted all the theories in the most satisfying way possible

[wildbard]

The ending was very satisfying, I was so worried they weren't going to pull it off but they did. I liked the Anti Batch, a "perfected" version of the Bad Batch. Seeing the clones making it out and living happily was amazing. And grown up Omega too! She goes off to help the Rebellion and she still has Tech's goggles. They never forgot him.

[jeremiahmorris]

I actually almost cried when Crosshair was gonna sacrifice himself to save his brothers and his sister. Nala Say unaliving herself to get Project Necromancer taken offline was cool after the Empire corrupted what Kaminoan science gave to the galaxy

[realitytellslies]

Literally my only complaint is how unceremoniously Scorch went out.

[bennewbury]

I’m sorry but I have to call attention to the fact that one Clone X CHOPPED OFF CROSSHAIR’S HAND and he never replaced it for the rest of the episode; I think he thinks of it as his penance
Edit: congrats on being a father man! Best wishes for your family!

I really loved that imperial star destroyer jumping out of hyperspace with 2 venators at the end with tarkin it shows that the empire military has started to take their usual imperial star destroyer

[jcraftgaming]

I couldn’t hold back my emotion at the very end, they actually did it guys. Omega grew up safely the boys survived and the clones were freed, this is definitely one of the best things disney has ever made for Star Wars and I am upset they are gone. Though they had a long journey ! Wonderful show

[ExpectinSomeADifferentAlias]

anyone remember that post that was circling around a few social medias "describe a movie plot poorly" or whatever that was? well "five bros who love guns, starships, explosions, and they also have a pretty awesome dog and they have to fly around the galaxy with their little sis who they must protect from evil scientists and space wizards" fits that pretty well

Idk who will read this but as someone who was 8 when the clone wars came out and growing old with this show. At the end it made me feel like we were omega throughout the show . As she grows old and hunter tells her she can always come back and they will be there was like the show and all the memories of the clones we had as kids . It felt like all those story’s we played with clones as kids or all the times we just wanted to be a bad ass clone. And this felt like all of that coming together one last time. I remember sitting at my grandmas house watching and waiting for the clone wars and seeing this felt like a true end to the kids who loved the clones even more than the clone wars. I felt like this was the best ending we could have asked for.

[harryhollyoak]

Loved seeing the ISD arrive at the end. It felt like the clone wars era had truly ended.

[Litany_of_Fury]

Before DIsney took over, after the Clone Wars there wasn't much Clone lore. Most stayed on to serve the empire in a neutral evil way. Some joined their mandalorian cousins looking for a way to slow their aging. Some found their ways into the rebellion.

[Squiddy-godu]

The ending of TBB is the most beautiful ending to a Star Wars animated and maybe live action show I have ever seen.

[jnicholaswildcat]

Seeing Omega all grown up, my god man that hit me, going off to fight for the rebellion, always the soldier and seeing hunter so old, and yet still ever himself, so much emotion
