Spoilers Bad Batch Season 3 - February 21st
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
A great start to the new season.
Lots of interesting new info about why Omega is so important. Looks like they're already working on transferring Force powers to someone/thing, which we already saw with Gideon's clones in The Mandalorian and Paplatine's clone in Rise of Skywalker.
I was a little surprised Emerie didn't help Omega and Crosshair. The way they seemed to be emphasizing her growing sympathy towards Omega, I had assumed she was going to end up helping them escape.
I'm curious if they do anything more with the three new young clones.
Batcher is awesome, I really hope she sticks around for the rest of the season.
With Omega having such a high M-count, I'm a little surprised we haven't seen signs of her having force powers.

Hmm. Great episodes, alot if exposing and setting up the sequel series.
Me thinks that Grogu was only involved in Gideons clones and not necromancer.

I don't think she does have a particularly high M-count. The test was to see if her DNA could support and maintain the count of a high count doner.
It's like having the midichlorian equivalent of O-Negative blood . . . only in reverse.
Presumably the idea would be having her genome as the basis for a force sensitive clone batch, using material from other subjects to imprint their M-count. Indeed this lines up with what Gideon wanted with Grogu, as Pershing was harvesting the "material", which would be the other half of the process.
Whether this is meant to be Palpatine's new body or something else remains to be seen, but the odds are high.
I'd attribute that more to her innate Fett heritage. It may have a dimension of force use, just like Han's freakish luck, but it's got to mostly just be genetics. That genome was used to make a clone army for a reason.
Me neither!
The first three episode guides are up, and the databank has been updated again.
Nothing earth shattering, but it does confirm that it was indeed Devaron featured at the top of the second episode, and that the jungle planet in that same episode is a new world called "Setron".
Side note: I'm still a little irked that starting last season, they've been cropping out the production information from the concept art. Given it's what I use as the basis for my file naming scheme, it's made archiving them a bit of a pain. Sounds like a petty thing to be annoyed at, I know (especially since they don't have to release any of this for the fans), but it's information that's been present in their released concept art from early TCW all the way up until the first season of 'Bad Batch', and has historically given some insights into how the episodes were produced. So it feels like missing out on some things.

I had no idea it was Anjelica Huston in either Screecher's Reach or this.
I thought she sounded a little familiar, but I had no idea it was because she was voiced by Morticia Addams herself.
Not impossible I suppose, but the timeline doesn't quite match up. Dathan isn't due to be "born"/decanted for another 5-7ish years or so.
Plus, honestly that would just feel like a connection for the sake of connection. I mean I'm still not happy about Rey being Palpatine's granddaughter; I'm not sure also making her Boba Fett's grand-niece would improve matters.

Does anyone else suspect at this point that there are Jedi, alive or dead, in the vault?
I think it kind of has to be something more than that. We already know they have a crypt full of preserved Jedi corpses at Fortress Inquisitorious that's nowhere near as carefully guarded as the Tantiss vault.
Perhaps the "specimens" are a collection of all of the highest m-count beings the Sith have ever encountered from all over the galaxy over the millenia. Jedi, Sith, creatures, trees. Anything and everything.
The Zillo Beast is there somewhere and we know it's a creature with legendary powers and likely an impressive M-count.
Potentially . . . but depending on how long that vault has been there, this could be something left over from loooooong before the High Republic. Without knowing what 'The Acolyte' is actually about, it's tough to know if anything like this would even remotely play into it beyond some random background easter egg.
Not just "somewhere". Did you not see the giant tank that was the back wall, and the ominously large moving object within?
Indeed that movement makes me think that these "specimens" aren't corpses, but are still alive . . . for a given value of "alive". Which would make sense since I can't imagine midichlorians surviving long (or at all) after the cells they inhabit die. Who knows how they respond to long term cold storage or stasis without a living host. Seems like a fairly reasonably complication to add to why cloning force sensitivity is so very tricky if the "material" is inherently prone to entropy.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the real problem in all this isn't even the midichlorians, but the Whills themselves actively interfering to prevent anyone from doing exactly what Palpatine is attempting. I can't imagine they'd be jazzed about any entity, much less a creature of the dark side essentially messing with the symbiotic relationship between the living and the cosmic force.
Is this object in the room with us now?
