It's been 4 years since Star Wars dropped a major reveal about two key characters in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, introducing a duo that's quite literally a perfect modern replacement for Luke and Leia. Of course, when it comes to the term "replacement," it's not a matter of actually replacing those iconic characters themselves; it's instead an effort by Star Wars to give viewers something familiar while also giving them something fresh. In this case, it's a replacement for the Luke and Leia archetype, and there are layers to this particular duo that enhance it even more.

A core aspect of Luke and Leia's story, especially in their dynamic, is that they're twins - even if that's not discovered until Return of the Jedi. This unique connection gives them a bond like no other, though it does take some time for them to realize it. So far in Star Wars, the only other main set of twins we've had is Mae and Osha in The Acolyte, though their story is vastly different from Luke and Leia's. Surprisingly, however, The Bad Batch season 1 introduced a pair of twins who totally fit the bill.

Boba Fett & Omega Are Twins, Just Like Luke & Leia

They're Both Unaltered Clones Of Jango Fett

In The Bad Batch season 1, episode 9 "Bounty Lost," Tech comes upon the discovery that Omega is an unaltered, pure clone of Jango Fett, with their only difference being gender. This is the same way that the Kaminoans created Boba, as Tech also mentions here, along with his codename "Alpha." Boba and Omega are thus quite literally the alpha and the omega, and are the only two pure sources of Jango Fett's DNA after his death. While this has always been significant for Omega in and of itself, it's also very meaningful for them as a duo.

From what we see of Omega in The Bad Batch, she certainly resembles Leia's same fiery spirit and integrity to always do the right thing and to help others. She's also fiercely loyal to her brothers and values family above all else. Because she and Boba have yet to meet, they also share a similar story to Leia and Luke themselves, as those two iconic characters also didn't grow up together or even meet until their young adulthood. While not every single similarity between the two duos lines up, it's still quite a strikingly perfect setup.

The New Republic Era Is A Perfect Time For Them To Meet

They're Both Looking For More Family

As the New Republic era continues to be fleshed out in recent Star Wars media, a perfect setting has been made for these two twins to finally meet. At this point in the timeline, as seen in The Book of Boba Fett, Boba has learned the importance of having a family, or tribe, and he's actively taking even more allies under his wing. To learn that he has family in Omega would no doubt round out his story nicely, especially once he learns just how deeply connected she really is to both Boba himself and his late father.

Though we don't know much about Omega in this specific era yet, the story set up for her in The Bad Batch season 3's ending suggests that she'll be working as a part of the New Republic after the Galactic Civil War ends, especially as a part of the Rebellion. Sadly, at this point, Omega's brothers on Pabu will probably have ed on, which means she would also be more than overjoyed to find more family in the galaxy. This twin duo would make for such a unique and compelling Star Wars story, but also one that's wonderfully familiar.
