Warning ! This post turn back SPOILERS forStar Wars : The Bad Batchseason 3 .

Summary

Star warfare : The Bad Batchseason 3 , episode 12 , " Juggernaut " has uncover why both Z and the Force - sensitive children being held captive by the Empire are essential toProject Necromancer and Emperor Palpatine ’s return . The Bad Batchhas becomeStar Wars’best animated show , and time of year 3 has taken shameful turn thus far , firm up that blot . Even as theStar Warsshow approaches its end , with just a few sequence to go , the surprise remain ongoing . Already , Omega has show that she may be the very first Force - sensitive dead ringer throughoutStar Wars’movies and television shows .

Incredibly , this game power point sawthe return of Asajj Ventress , the once - Sith learner of Count Dooku inStar Wars : The Clone Wars . Although Ventress testedOmega ’s Force abilitiesand claimed she find no evidence of Force sensitiveness ( while seemingly suspiciously like she was lie down , " Juggernaut " has suggested that , whether Omega is violence - sensitive or not does n’t matter to the Empire or Emperor Palpatine ’s most important program . In fact , the Empire may already have all they need to successfully complete Project Necromancer .

Star Wars : The Bad Batch time of year 3 has been incredibly moody already , but one detail from The Mandalorian proves that there ’s no happy ending in store .

Project Necromancer Is All About Creating Force-Sensitive Clones

InStar Wars : The ascension of Skywalker , Emperor Palpatine ’s sudden yield went sorely unexplained , with Poe Dameron infamously only saying,“Somehow , Palpatine returned . “However , Star Warsprojects since the sequel trilogy have worked to better excuse his return , and perhaps no other show has done more to accomplish that thanThe Bad Batchhas . The Bad Batchseason 3 in particular has revealed central details about Project Necromancer , Palpatine ’s plan to live on in the consequence of his destruction .

As made clean by Palpatine ’s moulder body , and additional context provided by follow - upStar Warsprojects , though , the Palpatine limn inThe upgrade of Skywalkeris not Palpatine himself . Instead , this was a Palpatine clone , surprisingly pervade with Palpatine ’s own Force powers ( as evidenced by Palpatine ’s ability to contend both Rey and Ben Solo , two worthy adversaries , at once ) . While clones were not new toStar Warsin light of the countless ringer troopers in the original trilogy , a effect - sensitive knockoff certainly was .

for extract off such a shameful return , Palpatine involve violence - sensible clones . It was n’t enough for a edition of him to endure — he needed that clone to still have his power . That turn out to be no easy exploit , though . InThe Bad Batch , season 3 , installment 12 , " Juggernaut , " Dr. Hemlock explained,“An individual ’s M - Count can not be directly repeat . “This meant that , rather than simply clone Palpatine to achieve the powerful knockoff learn inThe advance of Skywalker , Project Necromancer want to be significantly more imaginative . To do so , their experiment required a two - part plan .

Rather than only clone Palpatine , Project Necromancer want to be significantly more inventive .

Omega Is The Only Clone Whose Body Can Sustain Midi-Chlorians

Mysteriously , Omega is the only clone thus far who has been confirm to sustain midi - chlorians . That is n’t for want of trying , however . The Bad Batchseason 3 clear up that innumerable clones were subjected to standardised experiment by the Empire , but none successfully replicated M - counts . As Dr. Hemlock explain , the M - counts simply degrade over time . This is particularly surprising , given that clone would theoretically apportion an ability to duplicate M - counts . Then again , the Force works in strange , unpredictable way .

This power by Omega is precisely why the Empire has been so desperate to tag her down throughoutThe Bad Batchseason 3 . InThe Bad Batchseason 2 ending , it seemed as though the Empire was enchant Omega solely as an incentive to get Nala Se , the Kaminoan scientist behind the foundation of the clone cavalryman inStar war : Episode II - Attack of the Clones , to work . The Bad Batchseason 3 three - episode premiererevealed that the program was much more insidious than this .

Rather than just purchase against Nala Se , Omega represented the achiever of the entire projection and of Palpatine ’s close at hand return . Because Project Necromancer required Palpatine to survive his body , the clone aspect of the plan specifically was pivotal . As the only knockoff whose trunk has sustained M - counts , the Empire ask Omega . Dr. Hemlock says so very explicitly in " Juggernaut , " telling her,“You are a life-sustaining patch to our oeuvre here , Omega . “Yet , their two - part design still required one other source .

Omega symbolise the winner of the intact project and of Palpatine ’s imminent return .

The Vault’s Other Children Are A Source Of Midi-Chlorians

InThe Bad Batchseason 3 , episode 12 , Dr. Hemlock further explain that , combine with her sample , Project Necromancer require the sampling of other M - count specimens . Tragically , The Bad Batchseason 3 , episode 10 , " Identity Crisis " had already revealed precisely who those specimen were . In one of the dark arcs of aStar Warsanimated show to date , " Identity Crisis " revealed thatmultiple Force - sensitive nipper were being hold on Tantiss for such experiments , the youngest being an babe .

Again , Dr. Hemlock pose the plan out explicitly — perhaps an odd selection , give that Omega had already scat once and now know a specific chunk of the design . As Dr. Hemlock opened the vault where the children were being celebrate , he depict them as"the rest of the puzzle . “It ’s light , then , that both Omega and the Force - sensitive children being hold captive are mutually essential aspects of Project Necromancer .

Z and the Force - raw children being bear captive are mutually all important aspects of Project Necromancer .

" Juggernaut " then ended with little answer or well-defined indicant of what would happen next . give thatThe Bad Batchseason 3 is the show ’s net season and there are only three episodes remaining , the end ofThe Bad Batchis look quite foreboding . While Omega andClone Force 99’sfates are undecipherable , Star Warshas already sustain that , at last , Project Necromancer deliver the goods . Moreover , as Grogu is being hunted for his stemma inThe Mandalorian , it seems the task was ongoing even class later .

The Bad Batchseason 3 has been a absorbing , illuminating , yet squash addition toStar Wars . By revealing so much of the history behind Palpatine ’s return , The Bad Batchhas survive to some of the most sinister places inStar Warsthus far . While the deceased , preserve Force - sensitive child inObi - Wan Kenobiwas shocking and heartrending , seeing the Empire ’s treatment of strength - sensible tyke in real sentence is all the worse . WhileStar Wars : The Bad Batchhas a few episodes pull up stakes to go and questions continue , it ’s clean that Omega and the Force - raw children are all important .
