Star Wars has confirmed that one member of the titular team from Star Wars: The Bad Batch has left the group. The Batch consisted of four members when first introduced during the timeline of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These members were Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair. Echo then joined in The Clone Wars, before Omega took the squad's members up to six. Tech's death then saw it drop back down to five, while Echo's missions with Rex mean The Bad Batch season 3's story has centered more closely on Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Omega.
In light of the endless changes to Star Wars: The Bad Batch's titular team, the Star Wars Databank has confirmed that one character is not even an official member of the group. That member is Echo, who is listed as a clone 'formerly of the 501st and the Bad Batch.' This is in reference to Echo's aid of Rex, though many assumed this did not supersede his status as a member of the Bad Batch. However, Star Wars has seemingly confirmed that it does, rendering Echo no longer a member of Clone Force 99 while setting up a potential upcoming Star Wars TV show.
