I would absolutely eat this up

Gah! I love this series so much!

And now to the real deal.

Unlike Atlantis, Hemlock has everyone here as prisoners, Tech is the last one to be fished out of the lake. Also Crosshair's already in the “post-Tantiss” phase. And that was the most difficult piece so far. Sucked me dry. But that doesn't mean I'm tired.

They are all safe! I was extremely invested in this series.

The Bad Batch 1x01 spoilers!

I hate Nala Se but...was that a...redemption in The Bad Batch 1x01???

She really helped The Bad Batch get away... with Omega...her medical assistant...

Maybe Omega made her more compassionate and maybe she wanted Omega to have a better life with people she belonged with🥲

OMG YOU’RE SO RIGHT!!

I also think Nala Se might redeem herself. It kinda seems like she wants Omega to have a better life off of Kamino and she doesn’t seem to like Tarkin

THE BAD BATCH SEASON 3 EPISODE 3 THEORY/SPOILERS:

Am I the only one who thinks Nala Se plans to go after Boba Fett to get DNA to make her superior clone!? I need someone to talk to me about this!

They said Jango’s DNA is deteriorating and they need more from the source, and maybe they will just use one clone, BUT my theory is that they need a pure source...an unaltered source. See where I’m getting at here?

I WOULD DIE TO SEE BOBA IN THE BAD BATCH!! But also, no please! Not young Boba!

Omega better sneaky sneak herself into Crosshair’s medical room and remove his chip (assuming she goes back to being Nala Se’s medical assistant)😩

Crosshair doesn’t miss… 

But CT-9904 does…

Crosshair is still there and he’s fighting against the inhibitor chip. 

He knows what he’s doing is wrong and that’s why he actively misses shots. 

It’s why he shot Wrecker in the same area as the droid did in S1:E1.

It’s also why he fired a warning shot misses Tech in S1:E8.

He’s still looking out for his brothers.

So another of my tin foil hat theories is, it's not just Omega who can take midichlorian donation--it's all of the Batch. Grab the Reynold's Wrap and some Thin Mints!

At the end of S1 when Nala Se arrives at Tantiss she says to Hemlock 'what the Emperor wants isn't possible'. So, she already knows what Hemlock is up to.

In Season 2, Lama Su suggests grabbing Omega as leverage, because Nala Se has been rotting in a cell, refusing to cooperate. Hemlock snags Crosshair, uses him to bait the Batch, gets Omega. As we know from S3, Nala Se instantly starts blackholing Omega's test results. We find out why in episode 3 when Omega and Crosshair are spared death because due to a series of unfortunate events, one of Omega's samples gets through and is positive for the ability to accept a donation of midichlorians. I.e., Omega can get More Stronger at wielding the Force, which the Emperor naturally would want for himself, for cloned bodies for him to jump into (Rise of Skywalker), etc.

Now, Nala Se immediately began deleting Omega's samples, and per S1, she already knew what this project was about--so she knew that she had accomplished what the Emperor wanted, she was just gaslighting gatekeeping girlbossing her way through 'WOW SCIENCE IS HARD' and while Hemlock suspects her he can't do this without her so he's kinda stuck.

Where the rest of the Batch come into this is part meta and part S1.

In Season 1, Lama Su indicates he doesn't care who out of the Batch they can get back as long as they can get one. This is highly relevant because we're initially lead to believe it's only Omega they want, because Omega is a pure copy of Jango, and thus a source of DNA for them to keep using since Boba is long gone, as is Jango. (This doesn't make sense scientifically but, you know, whatever.)

As we find out, though, she's not. Furthermore, Omega isn't just an experimental clone, she's the first experimental clone. She was made before the Batch, suggesting they might even be derived from her, or, at a minimum share numerous of her traits. For example, the ability to accept midichlorians.

Nala Se's comment to Hemlock implies she knows about the desire for this process which in turn suggests the Kaminoans themselves were already trying to do it (maybe even in conjunction with Hemlock, who later left; he and Nala Se clearly know one another quite well). But the Kaminoans may have undertaken it as a selling point to the Republic. Hey, Jedi numbers low? No problem! Force sensitive clones WITH inhibitor chips so they do anything you want!

But the Emperor doesn't want that, he wants to make himself a new fresh body to live in forever. So they blow Tipoca City to pieces and kidnap Nala Se, wanting her to finish the project. Except she already has, and the results are in the wind. Except...for Crosshair.

Now, Hemlock says Crosshair was ruled out long ago. As we saw, Nala Se was destroying Omega's samples. ...was she also destroying Crosshair's? She might have been; we have no way of knowing, having never seen him be tested. Nala Se may have bided her time, deleting Cross' samples until Hemlock gives up on him and chucks him in with the others to be made into a Clone X. Whew! Bullet dodged. Except then Omega is captured. Fuck! Back at it again.

Meta-reason: when asked about the new seasonal posters, someone noted that there's a red underlight glow on Omega and the original Batch members, i.e. not on Echo. And on no one else. If this is danger, what danger are they all equally in which Echo isn't? Well...Echo isn't derived from Omega...

Final fold for this particular hat: since Cross and Omega have escaped we've been given no insight into what's happening in Tantiss. This isn't, IMO, on accident; it's likely Hemlock got all this information out of Nala Se one way or another. And that could be why CX-1 said 'they're coming for all of you'. He may have meant all of the Batch, since he was talking to Crosshair.

Did Rex and Howzer look at the rest of those targets on the list? Omega is the primary one, obviously, because she can be leveraged against Nala Se, who tbh couldn't give a shit about the rest of the Batch. But as Lama Su said: any one will do.

This works much, much better than Omega being the most specialist girl protected by her younger brothers. That's tired. Instead it becomes 'family created for one purpose decide to do literally anything else with their lives, against all odds'. Vastly more interesting.

And one last thing which is less tinfoil-hat-making and more pondering: those medical records on Nala Se's datapad. They're going to be relevant. Perhaps there's locked or hidden information in there which, once Tech re-surfaces, they can get into. We'll see.

Hey also props to me for prescience: Nala Se was in fact lying to Hemlock's stupid face when she said 'what the Emperor wants cannot be done'.

She already did it. And she knows she did.

Look, I don't like Nala Se but I have to respect how ballsy she was in getting Omega out of there the moment she realized she had to, and then when Hemlock was all 'well SOMEONE helped her escape not saying who but it was you' and she was gaslight 100% 'I dunno what you could possibly mean I was right here the whole time'.

respect.

Ok respect for the way Nala Se went out and took Rampart with her but I'm never forgiving her for what happened to Fives and Tup
