Predictions: The Bad Batch Season 3

Predictions: The Bad Batch Season 3


Star Wars: The Bad Batch has just wrapped up it second season and I thought it ended up being a great season of television. The finale was the best of these episodes and left the viewers with depression and some interesting questions heading into a 3rd season that is guaranteed to be coming. So with this in mind, I have decided to look forward and here are my predictions for the 3rd season of The Bad Batch, spoilers for the 2nd season are here. 

Emerie Karr, Omega & Crosshair will escape the facility. 

At the end of season 2, Omega is captured by the Empire and taken to the same facility as Crosshair. There it is revealed that one of the scientists Emerie Karr is actually a clone and Omega's sister. I think season 2 did an effective job of basically telling us that The Bad Batch won't be able to find the base so I think it will be an escape attempt from within. After a long explanation, I am expecting Karr to turn good and aid Crosshair and Omega in escaping the facility. 

Tech is alive

Now I must stress, I hope Tech died at the end of Season 2 because it was an epic sacrifice and felt appropriate for the story. But I don't believe he is dead, the fact there was no body and they even addressed that the body wasn't found made it pretty clear to me that they are not committed to Tech actually being dead. 

We will hopefully get a greater idea of Palpatine's plan

It seems a constant factor of the new canon is a big focus on Emperor Palpatine's plans for cloning which we kind of had a payoff to in Rise of Skywalker. It is clear Dr Hemlock is working on cloning and we even see some of the tanks that were shown in both Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian. Hopefully, we get a little more information on what exactly the plans are instead of the wishy washy nature that it currently has. 

We will slowly see the start of The Rebel Alliance

The show has started to show a Clone rebellion against the Empire led by Rex & Echo. This has been really cool to see and kind of explains why there are no clones in The Empire. I can see this small rebellion being linked to certain characters such as Mon Mothma & Bail Organa to start to show the birth of the Rebellion. 

Boba Fett will appear

With all the links to Jango Fett and the clones, I am very surprised that we have not seen an appearance by a younger Boba Fett. We have confirmation of at least one sibling of Boba but no mention of him. He would still be young and in the infancy of his bounty hunter career so it would be cool to see him confront The Bad Batch. 

Saw Guerrera will clash with The Bad Batch

Part of the finale, I wasn't a big fan of was the out of nowhere appearance of Saw Guerrrera and his band of Rebels. Their introduction actually ended up messing with The Bad Batch and the 'death' of Tech. It makes me think that either the rest of The Bad Batch will look to take revenge or even force them to work together. 

Will be the final season 

There is no information backing this but it is just my theory that the third season will be the final one for The Bad Batch. I feel like this show has been very entertaining but could risk going on for too long. Star Wars: Rebels only went 4 seasons and I think 3 seasons would really work for The Bad Batch. 

Overall, I really enjoy The Bad Batch and think the second season is an improvement on the first season. Hopefully, we get an even better 3rd season of the show.
