#tbb omega as a rebellion pilot

[badbatchenthusiast]

i really need omega as a pilot for the rebellion now. the ending of the last episode has opened up so many possibilities for characters to just… canonically know each other? and i love that. can you imagine her interacting with the full ghost crew? hera would definitely remember, they’d be strong friends. kanan might have some reservations but he’d appreciate her strong will and courage. she’d be like an auntie to sabine and ezra. in another universe they might’ve all spent some time on pabu hiding out and recovering from a bad run and hunter could finally be a grandfather for a while. because let’s not lie that’s exactly how he’d act towards ezra, probably sabine too. omega would follow orders with a military professionalism generally lacking in a rebellion full of people with mismatched skills and she’d be really well respected, maybe a relatively high ranking squad commander, who would be an excellent trainer to newer pilots. and idk i really want her interacting with cassian andor?? just a quick meeting and a drink shared because i find it hard to imagine them being friends beyond a deep respect for one another, but. they’d be a relatively similar age i think. which is wild.

There are two types of parents (broadly speaking).

Allow me to illustrate.

Scenario: Omega finds her brothers have been captured by slavers in "Rampage"

Hunter: silently shakes his head at her, waves her away, wants her to keep out of sight

Echo: "YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL RIGHT NOW? OUR GEAR. HINT HINT."

DONT TALK TO ME IM EMOTIONAL OKAY

Crying, vomiting, screaming

[redbean-nom]

headcanon that that's where the experimental b-wings ended up

so...what do we think of omega leading a squadron of experimental fighters and insanely overqualified pilots and it being a mirror of clone force 99

(it's called havoc squadron btw and when they get called in their entrances are exactly like the bad batch's entrance in tcw s7)

(they start out as a squad of pilots but they're eventually a spec ops squad due to previously mentioned overqualifications)

(the other members may or may not be mox, deke, and stak and they occassionally get help from a "liberator of ancient wonders" named lyana hazard and a scientist named emerie karr)

(this concept may or may not be my next fic...)

[zaptrapp]

list of things I cannot believe from tbb finale:

an actual good ending

hunter being alive

crosshair being alive

wrecker being alive

echo being alive

tech being actually dead

cody vanishing just like that

the entire “wolffe joining rex and the clone rebellion” plotline going down the drain (???)

howzer saying “aight imma head out”

rex not being in the finale

”clone force 99 died with tech” line

hunter still breathing

clone cx-2 being absolutely not fucking relevant whatsoever

clone cx-2 not being tech

clone cx-2 moving/speaking/behaving like tech but not being tech -> could have been him but sadic writers chose not to go with that plotline the very last second so they had to cut from the finale the scene where tbb (and us) get a tech/cx-2 face reveal

grown up omega being a pilot for the rebellion

hunter choosing to be omega’s dad

the writers denying us the whole “tbb goes back to ord mantell just to skin cid alive and robbing her of everything she has” subplot

ventress/fennec not being in the finale

hunter tbb alive

dead tech (I was a very skeptic tech alive truther)

WAIT

TBB SEASON 3 FINALE SPOILERS

Omega said ‘Keep an eye on Wrecker and Crosshair…” not “keep an eye on Wrecker, Crosshair and Echo”

If my guessing is correct, the time when the Rebellion needs pilots in Rebels is after Old Man Rex is recruited which means the Clone Rebellion is over. Which means Echo never came home.

Echo who deserved rest and peace but chose to help, is the one who didn't make it.

I’d hope that I'm wrong but I don't think I am.

Maddi's Reaction to TBB S3 Finale

Warning: SPOILERS. LOTS AND LOTS OF SPOILERS

The episode title killed me a little bit, ngl

I mean, "The Cavalry Has Arrived". Talk about a callback lmao

Ofc Omega found a way to release the Zillo Beast. And Echo's reaction was amazing. "How do you know?" "Because it's exactly what I'd do!"

Same with Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair: "Echo or Omega?" "Omega." "Omega."

I was so fucking convinced that the og operative - the one with the sniper rifle - was gonna be Winter Soldier-ified Tech. Like, I was banking on it, and it turns out he was just a random clone. (I might make a rewrite changing that outcome lol)

Emerie finally became a good guy! After Episode 10, I was rooting for her to wake the fuck up haha. Glad she came to her senses, and very proud that Echo had the sense to trust her.

Oh, speaking of the not-actually-Tech operative, HE CUT CROSSHAIR'S HAND OFF?! CROSSHAIR BBY NOOOO

Ahem. I'm not mad. It's a TV show, it's not real, I'm not mad.

Sorry, where was I?

Hunter and Crosshair finally acting like brothers again makes my heart so happy. "You should stay here. I'll go after Omega." "Not a chance."

Ooh, when Echo found Omega and the other kids, the way he greeted her made me wanna cry a little bit. And the way the kids hugged her before Emerie flew them to safety - guys, my heart can't take this cuteness.

Echo's speech to the prisoners gave me Fives' battle for Kamino speech. "You've all been through enough, and you all deserve your freedom, but Omega and I can't do this alone. Will any of you help us?" compared to "We're one of the same. Same heart, same blood. And my blood's boiling for a fight." "But what about our training?" "Your training is in your blood."

Hunter, Crosshair, and Omega working together almost non-verbally to kill Hemlock was amazing. Our baby Omega has grown up so much since Season 1, and I'm so proud of her. Also, yay, Hemlock is dead!

Nala Se's "sacrifice" to destroy her work kinda made me tear up, ngl. (I say "sacrifice" because it wasn't a big thing like Tech's death, she just got shot by Rampart and dropped the detonator at his feet. It still made me tear up tho.)

Everyone recovering on Pabu made me so happy, but we didn't see Phee and Omega reunite, which was kind of a let-down. But, everyone's safe and happy, so I'll take it.

Now for the big thing: THE END SCENE

Oh my god baby Omega grew up so much. Her long hair in the really loose and messy ponytail made me so happy haha. Also, was that Hunter's bandana? TBB team, can we confirm?

Speaking of Hunter, his older look makes me so happy. No armor, just soft, comfortable clothes. (I do miss the old bandana though)

Hunter's concern about Omega becoming a Rebellion pilot is so fatherly omfg. Also, our baby is a Rebellion pilot!!

Omega's little salute to Hunter and Batcher made my heart melt a little. Seeing Tech's goggles on the dashboard also didn't help. And Hunter's final line - "She'll be fine."

Guys, I'm in awe. This episode was amazing. Laughed, cried, and melted the whole way through. Perfect ending for our favorite squad.

[robotsandramblings]

i hope they eventually give us a more specific time as to when exactly Omega joined the rebellion!

while she could have joined as early as 4 BBY (in an unofficial manner) or 2 BBY (in a more official manner), my best guess is she actually joins up right before/during Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (or inbetween).

~ full version of my research and hypothesis below! (reminder that BBY = # years before battle of Yavin / Ep IV A New Hope)

so my best guess is that the TBB timeskip where we see Omega leaving to join the Rebellion happens during the Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (or inbetween); either way, i'm guessing it's after A New Hope, especially since she says the rebellion needs pilots "now more than ever." (i think all the rebel pilots except Luke, Han, and Wedge are killed at the battle of Yavin?)

it also depends on how she finds out about the Rebellion in the first place. if it was through Rex or even Hera, she technically could have been joining up earlier than most, around 4 or 3 BBY. (in Rebels, Rex joins the emerging rebellion in 4 BBY.)

if she found out about the Rebellion after it officially became a thing, then we're looking at anytime between 2 BBY and 4 ABY, per wookiepedia:

( ^ explains that the official "Rebel Alliance" aka The Rebellion started in 2 BBY, and they dropped that term by 4 ABY.) (Return of the Jedi takes place in 4 ABY and the rebellion officially "ends" and becomes the New Republic shortly after RotJ's events.)

but like i said, i'm betting that Omega joins up during ESB or RotJ. either way, i hope it's clarified one day!

[omegafett99]

OKAAAAAY!!!! let's play another round of......

✨ OmegaFett99 trying to fit in a live action Omega everywhere!✨

I'm this episode I will be reviewing a GIF I saw while scrolling, specifically, this one ⬇️

She says that they need a pilot, and according to my research, Andor takes place at around 5BBY, TBB takes place at about 18BBY, and that would make Omega (who was around 12 in 18BBY) about 26 years old during 5BBY, and assuming that season 2 is set a few years after the finale of season 1, it could be at about 7BBY, and that would make Omega the age when she left for the rebellion, which is 29-30.

[frostycatblr-fandom-files]

TBB s 3, ep 15 "The Calvary Has Arrived"

51 MINUTES LET'S GOOOOO

Quick field medicine application

Meetin' between Hemlock and Rampart

"Makes me indespensible." Don't be so sure, Hemlock.

Nighty-night, Dr. Scalder.

Eva's taking straw!Lula 🩷

Imperial!Sea World next showtime's about to begin!

"Your fate is now tied to her's."

"That's exactly what I'd do." ARCs are so badass I love 'em

"We do this together." Hunter said fuck ya Plan 99 Round 2 idea

And now the Zillo's loose on Wayland

We're waking up MULTIPLE CX units?! And they're all different!!

HIS HAND

"Causing trouble, Havoc 5?"

Emerie if you betray them now

"We'll survive. But you won't." That is not a threat, that is a promise

"Clones don't leave our brothers behind." It's the ✨loyalty✨ your honor

Nala Se picked up a thermal, Rampart a gun... He's planning to snipe the information isn't he

That's so many blood samples...

Not the Hemlock Special :(

Nala Se had the last laugh.

"You're forgetting one thing. I have them."

Holy hell with the force Hunter hurled that spear, he pinned CX-2 off the floor.

SCORCH 😭

Hemlock's losing his (mental) grip and 'Megs knows it

BYE HEMLOCK

Left Wayland mere seconds before Empire arrives

"The databanks were destroyed." puts it mildly

Funds are now funneled into Project Stardust

Glad to see Emerie didn't betray everyone like I feared.

Pabu's beautiful at night.

Omega's so grown up... and a pilot for the Rebellion now!

Bummed we only got to see Old Man Hunter

"I know you are. But I'm not."

Lula and Tech's goggles are now on the new ship, ready for new adventures...🥹

[shipperoflife]

Tbb spoilers

I like to think in the finale Hera is the one who asked Omega to be join the rebellion as a pilot.
