There has never been a show that has had me so invested in characters emotionally. I thought for sure that I was going to be depressed after the finale.
The first 2/3 I was so stressed and tense and things weren't looking good until they were, until they weren't.
Then the last 1/3 I am so happy and thrilled. This is exactly what I wanted to happen!
Now my favorite girl is going to fight the empire in the rebellion. I hope we see more of her, with the Phoenix Squadron maybe, maybe Rex and his boys.
i don't care what canon says to me omega joined the rebellion before the rebellion was in a desperate search for pilots AND before ezra's broadcast. she was like 22-24 years old and running a little rebel cell based out of rex and echo's old base on pantora and eventually their cell joins up with the ghost crew around when the base on atollon is established. and before that (like age 17-22) she was doing supply runs under the guise of "visiting rex, echo, and emerie on pantora" and hunter somehow never figured out what she was actually doing there
One of the funny things about Rex and Omega being in the Rebellion at the same time is that they could have any number of conversations that basically are this:
Omega: *does something impressive and chaotic to help people and to fight against the Empire*
Rex: *deliberate breathing as he’s watching her do this, knowing he’s the only person who knows how she got those skills (and from whom)*
Omega: *gets hurt or does something that has the absolute slightest chance of giving Hunter (aka Stressed Protective Dad) heart palpitations if or when he finds out*
Rex: *sighs* Okay, on a scale from “Crosshair’s Pabu Meditations” to “Escape From Tantiss 2: Zillo Beast Electric Boogaloo,” how much lying am I going to have to do to keep your brother from needing medical attention and/or coming out here to read us both the Riot Act?
Omega: Do you want the sanitary version, the Echo version, or the Bad Batch version of the truth?
Rex: I’m getting too old for this.
Rex: *proceeds to cover for Omega anyway when Hunter asks because she’s his sister and they bonded over Blond Shenanigans a while back*
Omega: Thanks, Rex! (I’ll tell you the real story after you talk to Hunter.)
