Michelle Ang loves the camaraderie of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch is back for its third and final season on Disney+ and Michelle Ang, who voices Omega in the series, is looking back on the fond memories she'll take from her Star Wars role. Speaking to ComicBook.com at the Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 press junket, Ang discussed the surprising premiere episode and the final season's darker tone. Responding to our question about her favorite Star Wars: The Bad Batch memory, Ang doesn't name a particular episode, line, or scene, but instead puts forth a recurring theme.
"That's such a hard question," Ang says. "I'm not very good at remembering lines like that, but anytime Omega basically reminds everyone that the clones are our brothers, like this sort of this epic camaraderie that extends past people that she hasn't even met yet, this feeling of absolute connectedness to people and this desire to protect and look after them… That sort of intention just feels so important and epic and so much of who Omega is.
How will Star Wars: The Bad Batch end for Omega?
Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 is the final season of the Star Wars animated series, but is it the end for Omega in the Star Wars universe? Without spoiling any details about the series finale, Ang called the show's ending "bittersweet" and made it clear that she wants more Omega stories.
"I mean listen, it was really bittersweet," Ang says of Star Wars: The Bad Batch ending. She goes on to say she's "grateful for every step of this journey – nothing has ever been taken for granted, at least from my experience."
"I hoped there was a long, long, storyline potential for this to continue for a long time, but I also feel like our creators have done a beautiful service to these characters that they've brought into this series, and this is a nice place to end it," Ang says. "Without giving away too many spoilers, I think that people who have followed along will feel like it's a satisfying end. But yeah, I could've continued, I could've done more."
