Apologies if this has already been speculated here! But I had this thought after the Bad Batch Finale. Could Omega be Rey’s Mom?
So I had this idea but then hit some speed bumps. And I think I ended up proving that Omega is very unlikely to have decreased aging- or that there really is much behind the her line about being older than TBB. But the other headline was much better bait right? Anyway here’s why Omega probably isn’t aging slowly. And I’ll flesh out the fun idea of Omega as Rey’s mom even though it wouldn’t make much sense.Why Omega Ages Normally:Syfo Dias doesn’t commission the Clone Army until 32 BBY. So Jango’s DNA wouldn’t have been a thing for the Kaminoans until around then, right? And that means even if they made Omega immediately- simultaneous to Boba- then she’s be around 13 in TBB. I just can’t imagine she’s supposed to be under 10 years old as a character. And that math really messes with TBB’s age. More on that later. Let me know if I am in the minority but 13ish to me makes perfect sense for Omega’s age. Cut Lawquane’s adopted kids are 7 and 8 in their appearance on season 1 of TBB for reference. Hera was like 14? Omega fits in there on the older side, IMO. Anyway that would mean she’s not aging in any sort of delay. She can’t be any older than whenever the DNA was collected- which we can say was about 32 BBY.
The next blocker to Omega aging slowly is that her comments about being older than TBB can’t really put her more than 2 or 3 years older than them. If Cloning spanned from 32-19 BBY that would mean the oldest clones were only accelerated to 26. It also means that there’s even less of a chance that Omega wasn’t born at least 13 years ago. If she’s only 2 or 3 years older and was born in 32BBY that means Hunter and the gang are accelerated to 20-22 years old. So while she might remember them, it’s not like she could be THAT much older then them without really messing with the other Clones ages.….which really put a big hamper on that whole Omega is Rey’s Mom idea. But why not just entertain that maybe Jango was contracted. Prior to the Republics ask…say…10 years before.
Now…If she did age at half the rate of normal people AND was somehow cloned 10 years BEFORE Boba and she’s actually 20ish, looks 10ish, she’d be around 50ish when Rey was born aka around 25ish physically…so the math could totally check out. Let’s flesh this out.
She falls in love with a benevolent Sheev Palpatine Clone on a mission to save Nalia Se. Classic savior complex Omega. Now we’re cooking with gas. Now, in love, she gives birth to a child of her own, with another Clone of Nalia Se’s…Now who could have know Rey existed, was force sensitive AND would know to hide her from Palpatine, the Emperor? Maybe a certain EZRA BRIDGER?? Who learns of Palpatine’s cloning projects from a certain Admiral Thrawn? Who after being saved by TBB cameo star Ashoka Tano, finds and helps Omega, Sheev Clone and Ezra hide Rey, costing them their lives. Maybe Luke learns about his hand being used to Clone force sensitive beings- growing his paranoia about the return of the with…making his attack on Kylo make uhm some sense?? I believe in you Dave!
But unfortunately, I think Omega ages just normally.
