Description

It's with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Clone Force 99, and their adorable clone sidekick. It may be somewhat surprising that none of our heroes met an untimely end in this series finale. Sure, maybe we should have guessed as much, considering this is ultimately a kids show, but after last season's shocking death of Tech, the stakes felt more real here than they have in Star Wars for a long time. It's those stakes that allowed me, after coming out the other side of the emotional rollercoaster that was the last few moments in this Bad Batch saga, to take a breath and appreciate what a wonderful show we were treated to for 3 glorious season. No, it's not the most dramatic decision to leave the full cast alive, but after some time to sit and think, I can honesty say that I can appreciate a happy ending for Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair. As Omega rightly points out, they've fought enough. So few characters in this world get to retire peacefully. Yes, the door is open for some final adventures, assuming Omega one day still needs their help, but their mission is ostensibly complete, and their retirement is well earned. As a whole, this final episode, "The Cavalry Has Arrived", delivers on the action, while taking just enough time to wrap up the lingering character work. Crosshair being the beneficiary of much of that. This is Star Wars though, and that means that there remains more than enough story threads for future creators to pull on. Where does Lucasfilm Animation go from here? We don't know yet, but whatever it is, you know we'll be there for whatever and whenever it is. Bravo, this was a finale to remember.
