a place for the shit i love OK

The Japanese version of this scene in Advent Children breaks my heart. “That I’m the proof you once existed” is so much heavier than “I’m your living legacy.”

In The Bad Batch, it has been revealed that Omega is an unaltered Jango clone. She is the Omega to Boba’s “Alpha.”

In the comics, Jango Fett’s family also look very similar to Boba and Omega.

I’d suggest that Omega’s design, and perhaps Arla Fett’s as well, are inspired by Temuera Morrison’s sister, Taini.

And comments by Daniel Logan on his own family also give credence to this design choice being one inspired by real-life Maori families.

I have been and am a supporter of the Unwhitewash The Bad Batch movement. However, I’d also propose that Omega’s design is a tribute to Temuera Morrison’s sister, Taini, and not out of order when considered in light of comments by Daniel Logan on his own family.

Taini Morrison was a legendary haka performer. She had a crucial influence on modern-day Maori performance and her contributions have been celebrated by many people. She passed away suddenly in 2009. 

Here are several other photos of her.
