[@morningwould5753]

For anyone who does not know, the Admiral who stood up for the clones at the table was master plo koons and commander wolffes admiral

[@scarecrow5778]

He's not in this clip however.

[@WarrinerAnimations]

Admiral Coburn, I remember. The other officer is General Romodi who sounded concerned more about their goals than the Clones themselves.

[@kalvin187douglas]

Oh wow

[@shen8976]

Props to some officers on this table for recognizing the clones efforts and how unfair this is all turning out for them. Even if that doesn't change a bit the outcome, but It's surprising for me to see a high ranking imperial to even slightly care and spoke up abt that, so there is that at least...

[@AngelsCreed-jo5fp]

Eh, more like just trying to save face in front of their people representatives.

[@mingQWERTY]

That guy who recognised the clones is admiral Barton Coburn from the Clone Wars who rescued the crew on the Citadel Mission and worked with Commander Wolffe against the Zygerrian salves. He was not shown speaking in the clip but I thought it'd be nice to share that there are still those who believes that clones have been and could still be great

[@MikMoen]

High ranking Imperials used to be low to high ranking Republic Officers. Some of them fully embraced the ideals of the Republic but were smart enough to not paint a target on their backs when the regime changed.

[@HazetheYoutubeChannel]

Pretty that guy served with Commander Wolffe too, which is probably where his respect came from

[@kalvin187douglas]

I would love to see Hemlock reappear in other projects. Do you guys think Cylo was a apprentice of Hemlock's?

[@QuackersAhoy]

I wondered, is that Krennic?? Yes it was! Awesome when Tarkin told him to report with an update on Project Stardust, and we all know what that is 😂

[@fornax5798]

It makes him feel connected to the series outside of the books because from the animation and series it feels like he came to command the Death Star out of nowhere despite a maybe one mention in Rebels.

[@paolotorres8537]

And they got Ben Mendelsohn to reprise his role.

I always felt that Hemlock's speech patterns and vocabulary choices reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it - but now I know it's Thrawn

[@THE_GUY_ONE]

Except for the fact that Thrawn is not a cold psychopath.

[@reicelestial2478]

[@thechrometrooper5454]

Thrawn used his own vocabulary to add onto his Sherlock Holmes’ esque personna. Meanwhile Hemlock gives Nazi scientist vibes with a sense of being a psychopath in how he talks about everything. Creates some great variety in the Imperial villains.

[@doctorpanigrahi9975]

​@@THE_GUY_ONE Thrawn is quite forgiving..

[@isidrolopez5322]

​@@thechrometrooper5454Thrawn is inspired by Sherlock with a mix of Julius Caesar and Napoleon while Hemlock is like a Frankenstein I'm sure. Although they also took inspiration from Nazi scientists. And without a doubt both are magnificent villains

[@jinchuriki7022]

Hemlock has such a small but powerful voice

[@hmk5123]

Hamlock must have been so obsessed with Kaminoan cloning methods that he even adopted their emotional aloofness, or rather, he detached himself from any emotion. He, in every essence, sounds and behaves like a Kaminoan.

[@Simonhenerickson]

Clones were truly the victims bruh :(

I think he will. Palpatine achieved what he wanted in the end, and the dark trooper program was successful

[@TacSon]

Please God, let it be the phase 0 dark troopers!

[@1darksoul786]

Palpatine should have found Exegol by now, but the Sith Eternal has yet to start cloning experiments without Nala Se's help. Once she cooperates, the Sith Eternal will create Snoke and Dathan.

[@fornax5798]

It feels like they're making up for the sequels by rationalizing it because even though they made a split second decision to bring Palpatine back out of pressure to salvage the ratings, I definitely can't see them choosing to revive Palpatine if the Imperial Cloning Project was made in Bad Batch first, where they'd have more time to carefully plan things out step by step and see the next steps instead of jumping several years like they did in the movies.

Dark troopers

[@WCaptainJoseph]

no, he said “test subjects” no mention of Dark Troopers. Also this is about Hemlock trying to break down how the Kaminoans Cloning works for a certain Palpatine. Dark Troopers in canon appear way later, not now since the galaxy has basically no massive wide rebellions.

[@snakes3425]

[@randycheow4268]

Are there going to turn them into dark troopers since the first dark troopers are clones enhanced by cybernetics according to legends

[@TheFresh_Kiwi]

I think so, I’m sure there will be more in depth theory videos somewhere, they even admit the clones didn’t consent to being tested on, just like the ones who were turned into the dark troopers in legends

[@CastellanosMDavid]

Somehow Palpatine returned, obviously this is a reference to cloning experiments that allowed the Emperor to return to life, live action and animated series are trying to fix some of the mistakes in the sequels. Look guys, actually I don't mind the sequels, personally I enjoyed them, but that doesn't means I'm not aware of their faults. The real problem in the sequels was that Palpatine's return was never planned and there no clues, references or even intention of Palpatine's return in the first two movies (TFA and TLJ), but the fact is that Legends did Palpatine bring back to life, but as far as I know, was a better structured plot than sequels'.

[@beenalive1736]

Maybe that's gonna be a side use of what Hemlock's doing. I mean we all thought in Mandalorian that Grogu was used to clone Palpatine but it was all about Gideon. Then in Bad Batch Hemlock talks about an enlightened and submissive society so I think what they're doing with the clones has to do with the removal of free will or something like this. Far more sinister and interesting than just cloning Palpatine.

[@jayo1212]

@@beenalive1736 they were probably gonna harvest Grogu's Midichlorians for the project...

Hemmlock has drawn a sufficient amount of money from the imperials, and made many clones in the test subjects in his work. The question is, what’s he trying to create?

[@jbgaming3221]

I believe it’s like an early phase 0 dark trooper. Or something similar.

[@isidrolopez5322]

Well, he is making the rebel clones basically zombies loyal to the empire, but what Palpatine really seeks is to be able to clone his body with the midichlorians in his DNA, in order to live forever
