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

Thoughts and spoilers here

I 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?

    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.

      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.
