Michelle Ang Reflects on Her ‘The Bad Batch’ Journey
With Star Wars: The Bad Batch in the midst of its third and final season on Disney+, Michelle Ang, who voices Omega, is looking back at her time working on the series.
When asked what her favorite Bad Batch memory is, Ang didn’t name a specific episode or moment but the feeling of family that permeated throughout the show’s run.

“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.”
A Bittersweet Ending
Having finished her time on The Bad Batch, Ang is nothing but grateful for the experience. Still, for the voice actress, the ending was difficult.
“I mean listen, it was really bittersweet,” Ang says of Star Wars: The Bad Batch ending.

Still, the voice “grateful for every step of this journey – nothing has ever been taken for granted, at least from my experience.”
Will Omega’s Story Coninue?
While The Bad Batch is winding down, there is a strong possibility that Omega’s story could continue. So, would Ang be willing to return to her iconic role? Or is The Bad Batch’s ending the perfect place to exit?
“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.”
The Bad Batch Season 3 is streaming on Disney+.
