Star Wars: The Bad Batch season three is the final season of the show and the end to George Lucas' vision for Star Wars at the time he sold to Disney. The former founder of Lucasfilm had begun storyboarding and planning out the Bad Batch, a follow-up to his 2008 animated Clone Wars series that would follow unique clone troopers with differing specialties, but not with the capabilities of 'superheroes'. Be warned, this article may include spoilers, so this is your last chance to click away.
The season premiered with three episodes, two of which heavily featured one of the Empire's most secret bases - Mount Tantiss. Set in a beautiful mountainside, this secret facility holds a dark secret - the Emperor seeks to harvest clone troopers with high "M-counts" (midichlorian counts) to create a clone of himself capable of taking his place. These clones, including Omega and Crosshair, are forced to provide their blood each day to test for the M-count, while being indefinitely held in the prison.

In this article, we'll be discussing possible sets we could get based on scenes in The Bad Batch: Season 3. Here's what we think the possibilities are:
The Emperor's Rho-Class Transport Shuttle
The Emperor arrives at Mount Tantiss during S3:E3 of The Bad Batch in a modified Rho-Class Transport Shuttle. BrickWizard59, a skilled LEGO MOC builder, recently created and uploaded a design to his Instagram page, giving us a better look at how LEGO could pull off the set. This sleek build would not only be a great playset for kids, but would still be a welcome addition to adult fans' collections, and could come with some great minifigures.

Minfigures we could see included would be the Emperor himself, Clone Commando Scorch, lead scientist Dr Hemlock and Kaminoan biologist Nala Se. All three would be new and welcome Star Wars minifigures.
Clone Commando Battle Pack
We can dream... Clone commandos, originally created for the video game Republic Commando, were briefly seen in an episode of the Clone Wars, but are heavily featured in The Bad Batch. Despite their appearances in the shows and even in an EA Battlefront II update, they are yet to be introduced in LEGO form.

The Bad Batch S3 Crew
With Crosshair finally back with his brothers after separating from them in Season 1, we'd love any set featuring the full Clone Force 99 squad (excluding Tech). Whether they come with a vehicle or in a building/battlefield, offering fans an opportunity get hold of these clones again would be great considering the LEGO 75314 Bad Batch Attack Shuttle has retired.
While these three sets would be a welcome addition to the LEGO Star Wars upcoming set roster, there have been no leaks or rumours pertaining to any Bad Batch sets releasing this year or in 2025, which leads to the unfortunate possibility that we may get no sets at all for the final season of this show. If this changes in the future, we'll post a new article to keep you in the loop.
There's still more episodes yet to release, including at least one that will feature iconic villain Asajj Ventress, which gives us some hope that LEGO will release a set in the future for The Bad Batch Season 3. If they do, we'll let you know. Stay tuned!
