All the bestStar Warsstories are told out of rescript , and the franchise ’s habit of hop around the timeline is one of its great strengths . That ’s never been clearer than with the premier ofStar Wars : The Bad Batchseason 3 , which serves as connective tissue paper between so many different ERA .
This is the inception story ofPalpatine ’s Project Necromancer , the regal cloning experimentation that would ultimately run to his resurrection inStar Wars : The procession of Skywalker . Theend ofStar Wars : The Bad Batchseason 3 ’s premiererevealedOmega is essential to the Emperor ’s schemes , because her dead ringer body is evidently unequaled in being able-bodied to get an injectant of Midi - chlorians carry from Force - sensitives . astonishingly , this does n’t just join to the subsequence trilogy though - it also wed up a loose plot thread fromStar Wars : The Clone Wars .
With Star Wars : The Clone Wars being free non - chronologically , you call for the correct viewing order to make sense of its different plotlines .
Palpatine Kidnapped Children During The Clone Wars… & On Into The Dark Times
Star Wars : The Clone Warsseason 2 feature one memorable plot in which the amplitude hunter Cad Bane was one of many bounty hunters lease to nobble Force - sensitive child across the wandflower . He was pursued by Anakin Skywalker himself , who discovered a Sith facility on the planet Mustafar that seemed to be dedicated to turning these infants to the morose side . age later , during the Dark Times of the Empire ’s reign , Darth Vader would lead theImperial Inquisitorsin continuing to scour the galaxy for Force - sensitive children .
Now , finally , Star Warshas revealed the tangible cause Palpatine and the Empire kidnapped Force - sore infants .
There have previously been mentions of a inscrutable Project Harvester , which attempted to turn children to the dark side ; apparently Palpatine sought to utilise their potential as a optical prism to see the time to come . The Empire ’s continued focus on Grogu even afterReturn of the Jedifollowed the same pattern , though , and it suggested there was another reason . Now , at last , Star Warshas revealed the real cause Palpatine and the Empire nobble personnel - sensitive infants .
The Emperor’s Cloning Experiments Would Require A Source Of Midi-Chlorians
Project Necromancer is likely the full answer to this abiding secret . Palpatine learned the forgottendark side Force powerof essence conveyance from his own Sith Master , Darth Plagueis , which would allow him to transfer his spirit into another consistency in the event of his death . But the Emperor did n’t seek to leap into just any other body ; rather , he intended to possess a clone of his own . The problem , though , pose with the factclones run to reject Midi - chlorians .
These small fry would be the perfect way for Dr. Hemlock to acquire Midi - chlorians .
As seen inStar state of war : The Bad Batchseason 3 , Dr. Hemlock was placed in commission of an Imperial readiness on the satellite Wayland - one dedicated to discovering how to successfully implant Midi - chlorians within clones . Such experimentation would necessitate a constant germ of sweet Midi - chlorians , which could not be hold from the cadaver of settle Jedi . These children would be the utter way to acquire Midi - chlorians , and Dr. Hemlock could " harvest " them while they were being turned to the dark side .
Children Were Easier To Harvest Midi-Chlorians From Than Adults
Darth Vader ’s Inquisitor were charged with hunt downOrder 66 survivors , but these would be a poor source of Midi - chlorians . The Jedi who survive Order 66 included some of the most powerful among the Order , such as Grandmaster Yoda and Obi - Wan Kenobi ; even the Padawans who were saved by their masters soon learned some of the rough survival skills . These would be impossible to check , even on such a remote planet as Wayland . The wildlife that serves to so efficaciously restrict the clones could easily fall under the influence of a skilled Jedi due to their empathetic talents .
Infants and children , though , would be much easier exam subjects to extract Midi - chlorians from . They would not be able to resist ; if they were conquer at an early enough eld , the Empire would have been capable to iindoctrinate them into not even wanting to do so . This , logically , is the most likely reason Palpatine had his agents kidnap small fry - and it ’s celebrated thatStar Wars : The Bad Batchseasons 2 and 3 have both hinted Dr. Hemlock was carry his experiment long before the Empire was officially formed . It seems this Clone Wars mystery has at long last been fully solve .
