Star Wars: The Bad Batch Reveals the Fate of an Attack of the Clones Character – Den of Geek

In the episode, The Bad Batch finally solves one of its most intriguing mysteries: the origin of Omega, a young, blond clone who obviously doesnt look like the rest of her people (not to mention that shes a girl, while all of the other clones are male). But her appearance isnt the only special thing about her. We also learn that shes an unmodified clone created from Jango Fetts DNA just like Boba Fett! Even her name ties into Jango Fetts clone son, who was originally designated the code name Alpha before the bounty hunter named him. Yes, Omega is sort of Boba Fetts sisterfrom a certain point of view.

Its Tech who reveals the truth to his companions after studying Omegas DNA more closely: I further analyzed Omegas genetic profile and discovered she has pure, first-generation DNA, he says in the episode. All clones were created from a host named Jango Fett. While our genetic structure was modified for growth and acceleration and obedience, Omega is a pure genetic replication.

Therefore, since the Kaminoans have lost track of Boba in the years since the Clone Wars started, Omega is the only remaining source of Jangos original DNA, the key to creating more Gen 1 clones and restoring the Clone Army to its glory days.

Earlier episodes allude to the fact that so many generations of clones have been created from Fetts DNA at this point that the original genetic strain has been stretched too thin, resulting in mutations in the line as opposed to 1:1 copies of the Gen 1 clones. The rogue-ish Bad Batch, for example, are the result of these mutations.

Recovering Omegas DNA would allow the Kaminoans to restore its line of Jango Fett clones to their purest form, which Lama Su believes will put his cloning facility back in the Empires good graces. He hires bounty hunter Cad Bane to recover the asset and bring her back to Kamino so that he can extract a sample of her DNA and terminate her.

But not all Kaminoans agree that this is the right course of action. Chief medical scientist Nala Se, one of the key engineers of the clone army, has hatched her own plan to save Omega, whom she feels protective of despite her beliefs in The Clone Wars that clones are disposable. It seems that Nala Se has had a change of heart.
