I don't think that was Hale at the end. After Hale "killed" Daedelus, Daedelus grabbed Hale and transferred his power to Hale. That's how Hale was able to have that crazy power for the last 4 minutes. Also, it seemed that the destruction of the chimeran fleet fulfilled the prophecy that you will see the chimeran stars in your skies. Somehow the destruction of the fleet at the end of R2 has brought the real chimeran to Earth.
I think the ending of R2 sets up the epic battle for R3 with the real chimeran (not the clones that have been in the first and second Resistance).
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
