Spoilers The Mandalorian season 2 discussion
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
I was thinking they're Spacetroopers due to their bulk and size but they definitely remind me of old EU elements!
Perhaps with more success than when they tried to give Grievous the ability to use the force in the old EU.
It does seem like they were harvesting the child for midi-chlorians. Has it ever been established that the child is not in fact a clone of Yoda? If it is a clone, how and when did they get hold of Yoda's cells?
Nothing's been established about the child's origins at all. He could be a Yoda clone for all we know.
Well, he's fifty years old, which means he'd have been born twenty years before Phantom Menace. Obtaining a sample of Yoda's DNA back then wouldn't have been an impossible task.
Kuil had experience working in Imperial 'gene farms', and said that The Child had not been artificially engineered, ruling out the 'clone' theory.
Ashoka’s is next week
That's next week's episode, "Chapter 13: The Jedi" written and directed by Dave Filoni.
Ahsoka might show up next week. This weeks episode featured no former Jedi Padawan.
International must be. I watched it about 8 hours ago on Disney+ Hotstar (a streaming service in India).
Kuiil being an expert on genetic engineering because he was an indentured worker at a cloning facility such as that at Kamino? Maybe he only worked in the canteen and suffered from the Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
Well, to be fair, that was a fan voted character lolIn a toy license where a guy carrying a cantono/ice cream maker and Deleted Scenes characters almost nobody saw before the era of DVDs and Blurays get made then any background character from any series or film is possible.
But, yeah, watching Star Wars action figure production has been really odd since Disney purchased it. TFA was OK and TLJ did alright but TROS was a smaller line with a weird mix, and I wonder if that has to do with the split with the Disney Store in terms of out put.
Haslab appears to be a way to really cater to action figure buffs, while releasing a variety of The Vintage Collection and Black Series to appeal to different demographics. The Sail Barge did well enough to demonstrate that.
First a Gozanti, now and Arquitens? Fingers crossed for a Quasar and/or a Dreadnought next!
OK, so it looks like Filoni and Favreau have been saddled with the task of retroactively setting up tRoS. By the time they're done, it might even make sense!
I mean I'm assuming they're trying to clone Palps's body and need a midi-chlorian donor for it to be viable...which as we know won't work very well because the force isn't just a biological mechanism. So are theses guys First Order or Sith Eternal? Given the cloning angle, and that they're out in the galaxy this early I'm guessing the latter. I wonder if the Shadowtroopers (I'm assuming that's what they are) are an official side project to "Operation Unnatural" or is Gideon playing his own game?
...Dyn is going to lead these chuckleheads right to Ahsoka, isn't he?
Sidenote: how wild would it be if this is a bait and switch and they're really cloning Starkiller? I mean Witwer has been on set this season...mind you, while he's no dead ringer, Witwer does at least have the eyes and nose to pull off a young McDiarmid.

Random thought: Is Rey's dad in one of those tubes, or was he already out in the wild by this point?
Another random thought: Could this explain why all the Inquisitors vanished? Did Palpatine have them all "harvested" for his cloning project?

Dark Troopers were just powersuits with combat droids inside them. Shadowtroopers were the "Dark Jedi hybrids", which makes more sense with the cloning angle. They may well be leaning on the Dark Troopers from a design angle though, given the Death Troopers already kinda look like Shadowtroopers.
