I see they added a little girl main character per Kathleen Kennedy mandates. Woman-Wars is still going strong and independent.

I see you completely don't understand the concept of this show AT ALL.

The Kaminoans were paid to produce clone replicants of Jango Fett, with enhanced docile/compliance features so they'd follow orders without question, and accelerated aging so they're ready for duty in a couple years (not decades). It's one-size-fits-all, Rex looks like Cody, looks like everyone else.
*They still did need the chip to comply with Order 66, but that's a different thing.

Jango gets one pure clone, Boba, who is unaltered and ages normally, and raises him as his "son".

The Bad Batch are clones with significant deviations from milspec. Crusher is a lot bigger, Hunter has more independent thoughts and is less docile (he's their 'tracker', so I'd say he's very similar to Boba but still with the accelerated aging thing).

Omega is a strange animal in this- she's completely out of spec. First thing, she's female, not the ordered male. No aging mods, no docile temperament. And she's on Kamino, where "humans" are aliens. So she wasn't going to blend in there.
If you didn't actually know what she was, there's ZERO chance you link her to Kamino, ever. It's like Chevy making a motorcycle.

That gives you a ton of potential with "why make her?"
Remember, she's a female clone of a human who was able to give Jedi some issues. Was she intended to become a spy or assassin for the Kaminoans to use against the Republic? She'd be capable of handling normal humans, with Jango's reflexes and coordination (which they do show). She's cute, will likely become an attractive adult, seductive possibilities. Extremely inquisitive nature, quick learner, - a hell of a sleeper agent to put somewhere.

I think we're eventually going to touch on that in this show.

Another thing I'm curious about- we all know the clones are from Jango; but Omega has blonde hair. Gender can be manipulated easily enough, I assume hair color too. But while you might make a different gender on purpose, why change hair also? I know they said Omega is 100% unaltered 1st gen DNA (like Boba), but did they specifically state she is JANGO'S DNA? Or is there a chance there was another donor in the mix? Palpatine maybe, or "Sifo Dyas"?
