Omega’s such a great character bc at her age my ass woulda never been able to do that shit. I was listening to MCR she was freeing the prisoners of war
I was unreasonably excited to see Echo’s ears this episode. Like really excited.
I’m also highly distracted with concern over him being able to get his tbb armour back…
Feels like things are forever changing and I’m not sure I can handle it 😂 I just hope the enormous number of unravelled threads means a new show is gonna be announced. Hopefully on the 4th 🤞
And finally, what fun it was to see him messing about with that droid hand! He should magnetise it to his armour (you know where) so he can keep it … ahem … handy.
As for Omega telling Emerie about the Batch… my poor heart can’t take it!
Hmmmm, there’s something about Hemlock sending troops after a rogue shuttle that may or may not have been commandeered by Clone Force 99 as far as he’s aware, but not his own men in the first episode, saying the jungle will kill them… I can’t quite put my finger on it
Ok, so I’ve seen a lot of people making lists of questions that need to be answered in the finale but are we just gonna forget about this??
This is in ep3 when the Emperor comes to Tantiss and goes into the vault with Hemlock and Nala Se. There were these container things that we didn’t see what was inside them and I haven’t seen anyone talking about them. If you have, then great!!! Because what are these things about!!!!
Because it’s not the kids, this is the part of the vault where they are ⬇️
Very different design. But seriously what are in these container things??? Snoke clones?? Dead Jedi??? More kids?? Direct clones of the Emperor??
And what’s in the middle part of the room? The design of the room is also very reminiscent of the sith temples (imo). This is one of the things they definitely need to answer in the finale, or at least what I want answered.
HYPERVENTILATING, CRYING, SCREAMING, FAINTING, GNAWING ON THE BARS OF THE CAGE THEY HAD TO TRAP ME IN, THEYRE GOING TO TANTISS OH MY GOD. THE DETERMINATION OF THIS MAN IS LIKE NO OTHER, HE’S GOING TO GET HIS BABY GIRL BACK AND NO ONE WILL STOP HIM THIS TIME, LETS GO.
What happened with the clone cadets and babies?! I mean they took them from Kamino but they are training storm troopers now not young clones. We can't see them anywhere, the Commandos not training them, we didn't see them in Mount Tantiss...
WHERE ARE THEY?! WHERE ARE THE KIDS AND BABIES?! ARE THEY OKAY?! ARE THEY SAFE?!
Omega really took one look at Hemlock and said, “I’m gonna ruin this bitch’s whole career by orchestrating not one but TWO prison breaks from one of the most highly secured facilities in the whole galaxy.”
Alright, I think we all get the gist of what's going on with Project Necromancer, the cloning efforts on Tantiss, why Omega's blood is so important, and how it all ties in to the Mandoverse and Palpatine's return in the Rise of Skywalker. But, I wanted to make a bit of a reference post with posts I've seen going into detail on each aspect of this and also combining some screenshots.
Necromancer is Palpatine's goal all along, to create endless bodies for himself that he can transfer his life force and Force sensitivity into, so that he never dies and can rule forever. And he is starting those ambitions in The Bad Batch. Unfortunately for him, transferring Force sensitivity successfully to another body long term is almost impossible, which has led to this same project, and the exact same efforts, STILL being just out of reach by the time of The Mandalorian, which is after he has supposedly been killed off by Vader in RoTJ.
Now, the specimens are not actually the clones. The clones are the receivers, the experiments. The donors are yet to be revealed, but I would bet a lot of money that they are using the bodies of the Jedi killed in Order 66 (maybe some captured younglings as well--potentially Grogu?) As the M-count donors. This seems to be confirmed by the similar amber pods seen in the Inquisitorius in Kenobi.
However, they are obviously having difficulty, and we know that Nala Se has sworn that this might be impossible, mostly to protect Omega, who as we learn, has already successfully (accidentally or on purpose we don't know yet) shown to have this capability to receive midichlorian-saturated blood without decay or complication.
So, we know that Hemlock now knows that Omega is actually the key to this project. And we know that Palpatine does eventually succeed in cloning himself. However, what happens in between now and then? Something is going to happen this season that sets back this project, or Palpatine would have completed it long before the Original Trilogy, AND they wouldn't be scrounging for scraps and trying to recreate the results by hunting down Grogu in The Mandalorian, a full 25 years after TBB. (Is Pershing already involved in this effort? When and why did Pershing get caught up in Moff Gideon's schemes, and how did those branch off from Palpatine's efforts?)
Finally, in Rogue One, Jyn Erso mentions a Mark Omega Imperial project that was housed alongside Project Stardust (which was begun around the same time as TBB), and Krennic has appeared in TBB and is already working for the Empire. Is it possible that Omega's name is the aspect of the project being referenced here? If so, is she captured again and experimented on? Will her blood end up being used to help further Palpatine's goals? And how much will the clones be able to succeed and push back this project by the end of the season?
