Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.

Thoughts and spoilers hereI was expecting more closure

  • Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
  • Rex and his crew had no resolution
  • Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
  • What happened to Cody?
  • Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
  • Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
  • The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
  • The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
  • Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
  • Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
  • Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?

I thought assaj pretty much said omega was not force sensitive.

Anyway I thought it was great. I really thought one of the main clones was going to die to be honest. Thought that for a long time. I'm glad tech stayed dead. But overall some of the best Disney star wars

My take was that

Omega was modified to be able to maintain her midichlorian count through cloning. Now, how much that was - and if it was enough to be considered force sensitive - is a separate point. My presumption has been "higher than average, but not a jedi", mostly cos Jedi Jango is an insanely OP proposal.

This. I thought sensitive, but not good enough was the explanation.

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I agree that every being has an m count but most have not enough to matter. But my understanding that she was important because her m count was from cloning and that's what the goal was to clone m count/m count beings

But yea show didn't do a great job explaining because of it was just her m count then the other kids should have been just as special. She was MORE special because hers could be cloned or something... No idea lol

I don't think the kids were clones, I think what they were actually doing was extracting midichlorians from them for tests using clones.

Omega was proof that a clone of Jango - who would all have the same m-count - can have it increased.

In turn when testing the blood of the clones / Omega, it being higher than that figure is proof that whatever modification they did had worked.

Asajj basically implied she was Force sensitive, but was better off with the Batch than being taken away for training somewhere.
