Yes, just the holodeck recreation of Xavier.
I wonder if we'll run into a adult version of "Omega" from "The Bad Batch" in the next season of "The Mandalorian".
Given how she's aged relative to the regular clones, I would assume she ages at a normal age, just like Bobba Fett.
Since the clones aged at 2x the speed of a regular person, this would make for some interesting cross-over from Animation to Live Action.
From my estimations, "Omega" would be about 38-45 y/o human-wise. Her new actress would need to be a New Zealander of Maori descent in that age range.
That would make some interesting cross-over by Dave Filoni IMO.

No. We likely won't be running into an adult version of Omega anywhere until after The Bad Batch is done.
I tend to agree. It wouldn't make sense to show her decades later when we're barely getting to know how her story begins.
But *if* she did I'd say the more logical place for her would be 'The Book of Boba Fett' since it already has two people she has a direct connection with. Also, I'd cast Keisha Castle-Hughes. She's not a dead ringer for Morrison by any means, but also not entirely dissimilar either, she's about the right age, can pull off both funny and the whole warrior vibe, plus she's already a Star Wars alumni, so there's that.

Plus, it just wouldn't do to show her alive if TBB plots hinge on whether or not she'll make it out of a tight spot!
We already see folks like Wrecker and Tech look pretty dissimilar to the supposed template in face and body both. Omega could grow up to be Phasma for all we care, with Christie performing. (No need to redo the hair, either.)

Eh. It never stopped either the prequels or TCW from telling stories with characters who's fates we already knew. As a general rule, if the crux of the story hinges on whether or not a character will still be alive in 30 years, then it's probably a very shallow story and thus not worth worrying about.
There's a HUGE difference between some mutant Jango clones looking beefier or skinnier than the original template and an unaltered female clone somehow looking like she's from a distinctly different ethnic phenotype. Dying a Maori's hair blonde doesn't magically transform them into Gwendoline Christie. That's just dumb.
Dumb but a done deal; it's what we have on screen, regardless of how we feel about it. The only thing "maori" about Omega is the accent, on occasion. And those on all the clones come and go, making it possible for a single guy to be all of 'em in the first place.
A prequel being created about a character whose later (in-universe) survival is assured by his earlier (out-universe) appearances is one thing. A sequel being created about a character whose earlier (in-universe) adventures are still in progress is another. We have had the former. We haven't had the latter yet.

She's literally supposed to be a female clone of Temuera Morrison, who just happens to have blonde hair. There's no way you can swing that casting choice to a Caucasian woman without looking either 1) stupid, 2) racist or 3) both. How about we try *not* bending over backwards to try and argue in favour of whitewashing, 'kay?
It's bad enough pasty white British actor Benedict Cumberbatch was cast to play a Sikh warrior and Augment from the Indian subcontinent. The last thing we need is a pasty white actress to play the clone of a Maori actor.
It's pretty hilarious to watch you guys try and turn a blind eye at the fact that Disney already cast a blonde Californian surfer gal to play Omega.
Were supposed to be discussing a franchise where a really big brownish wig transforms a British hospital attendant into a wookiee, and a bit of dry ice fog and a few potted plants transform a soundstage into a jungle planet. If you have no respect for the power of illusion, perhaps it's better never to do live action at all, and rely on pretty scribbles from now on?

Uh, wut? They cast a New Zealander of Chinese descent to play Omega. Blonde hair doesn't make the character a "Californian surfer gal".
Timo's image isn't working (or at least on my end), so here's her IMDb profile picture which shows how laughable the "blonde Californian surfer gal" comment really is.
I guess you could say you ran a "Wricka" right through his argument.
Your image/link doesn't work. I assume this is your image And no, that isn't the person who plays Omega. That's an image of the character Omega.
So you are shamefully trying to blackwash this character played by this actor into being this person who never even appears on screen?
The blonde right above this post is how Disney wants us to perceive Omega. Burying Rosario Dawson's natural skin color under orange paint is how they want us to perceive Ashoka, just like they wanted us to perceive her when she was secretly voiced by another proto-Californian blonde. Which is fine and well and how it should be.
All this talk about whitewashing is just the flip side of how it should not be: "a fat broad in her fifties just plain can't voice <insert standard Disney waspwaisted character>, just because!!!". (Alas, this is also how it currently is.)

None of the Clones in TCW or TBB(nor the Clones we see in Rebels) look overtly Maori or Polynesian. They all look like slightly bronzed white dudes.
