Head on over to the official site for an interview with Michelle Ang, the talented actress behind the voice of Omega in the Disney+ exclusive animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch. There is still quite a bit to be revealed about the character of Omega and what the future will hold with her and Clone Force 99 as the series progresses in Season 1 and beyond.
There’s a lot of Michelle Ang in Omega, the newest member of Clone Force 99, on Star Wars: The Bad Batch. The actor was invited to use her native New Zealand accent, an homage to fellow Kiwi Temuera Morrison who originated the role of Jango Fett and the clone soldiers in the prequel films. But Ang also imbues the character with the child-like wonder she sees in her now four-year-old son as he discovers new parts of our own world each day. And, perhaps mostly importantly, since being quested to bring young Omega to life for the Disney+ Original Series, Ang has found new ways to tap into her natural earnestness, which lends itself well to Omega’s innocence, and the way she interacts with the world as an Asian woman and performer who doesn’t fit Hollywood’s leading lady stereotype.
