Omega’s the big deal. Why? She's a pure clone of Jango Fett! This fact establishes immense value; Omega being only one of two known pure Fett clones; and even with several ambiguities (and many things unresolved) about this mysterious figure, Omega remains extremely special within the context of this universe, as one of few key characters whose impact remains far greater than what most clones would do in their lifetimes. We know about Boba Fett (revealed way back in Attack of the Clones) but her creation is mysterious! Her importance grows rapidly as viewers soon realize her position!

Her origins on Kamino meant incredible value to the Kaminoans, even with Jango Fett’s death limiting supplies. Boba was largely MIA (seeking revenge) during the Clone Wars era! Omega remained on Kamino, assisting scientist Nala Se until that incredibly sudden, universe-shattering shift at the end of the Clone Wars – after Order 66 had been enacted.

Omega’s role alongside Nala Se is almost a mirror of Boba Fett and Jango Fett’s dynamic – those unexpected familial bonds. She remained incredibly valuable, yet sheltered; unseen across much of the broader Star Wars universe which added a lot of mystery, and why so many mysteries exist concerning her prior story, which is finally answered within The Bad Batch. Those initial escapes; rescuing her, her role evolves after she’s rescued from a Kaminoan lab by Clone Force 99 during those chaotic times. Her escape with the team led to becoming a soldier–undergoing intense training, adding significant experience in those very intense experiences!

Clone Force 99 became her family! Her incredibly close relationship with Hunter (who is protective, caring; mirroring his actual role) highlights just how much she became invaluable as a part of the Bad Batch, demonstrating that even in intensely volatile scenarios, these strong and caring interpersonal bonds developed into much greater depths!

Her earlier life in a shelter environment, then training, to becoming extremely strong both mentally and physically makes for a powerful arc that would normally require more storytelling; however those various battles made for a significant boost to her skillsets. The entire mercenary journey made her increasingly skilled, eventually helping with countless rescues. These actions eventually transition into moments of self-sufficiency and taking a role in a far greater universe.
