I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how if Omega is/becomes force sensitive, that she goes off with Ventress at the end of the series to become a Jedi, but I honestly hope she doesn’t. To me, it feels in character for her to reject the idea of learning it once she learns she would have to leave the Bad Batch. She’s way too attached to them already to become a real Jedi, and I think she’d be unwilling to sever those attachments. Plus, I recall in an interview with Omega’s voice actress that her story apparently originally could have been much longer but now isn’t, hinting that this show is Omega’s last appearance as a main character. This could mean a lot of things, but that’s my interpretation.

[@Taron_HaiTar]

I agree with your take, it's just wouldn't make enough sense for it to happen.

[@erinm9445]

I'd prefer that ending too, but I don't think it's going to happen. The hero's journey as all about losing your mentors/attachments and becomeing a hero all on your own, and Omega is pretty clearly on a hero's journey. But I hope I'm wrong! I actually think having Omega decide to stay with the batch and prioritize her family would be a nice subverting of expectations.

[@louiswinterhoff334]

I also hope she doesn't get trained with the force, but even if she was she doesn't need to be a jedi. Asajj certainly is no jedi, and would not be teaching that code.

It’s also why I think he should be considered an example of what a Jedi should be above most others, as he were so good at doing what a Jedi should, not dwelling on his emotions but also not entirely abandoning them like many TCW era Jedi, letting himself feel love, occasional frustration, but never letting it take over, etc. Make that so, and the force itself rewarding him by giving him his sight back in his final moments only kind of proves this in my eyes, that he did the whole Jedi thing better than most to the point the force itself gave him reward.

Nop. I really hope they don't do that and instead keep Omega more in the path of warrior/soldier. In fact, I would love for her to follow a more Mandalorian approach a la Jango Fett. Not only is she kind of already following some of Jango teachings through the Bad Batch training (remember that Jango trained some clones) even if they are not aware of it. So, I would prefer that over yet another force sensitive kid story. I don't want more of the same but something a little different, that's why I hope they keep Omega off that oath and instead put her in the warrior/soldier Jango Fett path.

[@thunderstorm8926]

Subconscious suppression of their Master-padawan bond was what stopped Sabine from understanding the force . You can see this in the show when Sabine tried to move the drink on the table . After she leaves the liquid starts moving . It was an interesting story line but the scene at the end needed to be longer so people could see the water/liquid move in the glass.

[@lunakingsley.7247]

It also annoys me that people are like, "she learned to use the force so quickly." We don't know exactly how long Sabine trained with Ahsoka prior to the show, but the implication seemed to be that it was years. That's actually a lot of time to train and practice!

[@Taron_HaiTar]

Yes! I was right on this! I pieced it together since Season 3 Episode 3, and I'm so happy to be right!!! Also I *completly* reject ideas of her being Force-sensitive and going with Ventress at the end of the series, so lets see who will be right next!

[@captain_jeknan2741]

Ahsoka, the show is not the only reference that M count is only an affect on how easy and natural with the force someone is. I forget where, but in A New Hope, it is indicated that anyone can learn to use the Force if they are dedicated enough.

[@dumbo1950]

Can't believe this high m count mystery has been going on for 2 different shows and it's all to help the sequels seem better?

[@erinm9445]

I wish they'd always release two episodes at a time. I'd be happy to wait two weeks between if they wanted the full season release to take the same amount of time. One half hour just isn't enough, two episodes is so much more satisfying. Especially two episodes as good as these were!

[@elihernandez330]

For some reason I have an odd feeling that they're going to test on her and basically supercharge her blood by putting midichlorians in it to see how she reacts which should be ok for her making her force sensitive when she wasn't before but is now capable of being and then she escapes and goes with assaj.

[@_GeneralMechanics_]

This is doing double duty with "Ahsoka" to completely explain "somehow palpatine has returned." Project Necromancer ties together with the Witches of Dathomir returning to this galaxy in the ABE era with the ability to resurrect the dead, while Hemlock's project gives them the much needed headstart tol provide them with a clone body capable of using the Force to transplant Palpatine's soul into.

[@Thaisweetchillisensations]

Yes, but those clones were established as being "imperfect" and prone to rapid physical degradation.

So they made progress, but they never got it "right".

[@Edward9kilohp]

I honestly do not like the idea of anyone having connection to force be it through having enough training or using some science to make it happen. The Force is and will always be a entity which is semi conscious and has a will of its own. It does not allow things to happen at random, for it's actions are specific. It needs to have everything checked for to bring balance even at the cost of death. That's why originally you cant truly clone jedi. Because the force wouldnt allow it. And even if you did, you wont get what you wanted from the get go, cause the force will make sure that any attempts to throw off balance shall be stop. By various means such as creating and sending someone to fix such unbalance elements.

Most of the live-action content are continuations of the New Republic Era shows while the Acolyte is set at the end of the High Republic Era. Andor meanwhile continues in the Imperial Era. At least with Tales of the Empire we knew there was going to be a second season. I think we Clone Trooper fans and by extension Clone Wars fans need to face facts here. That era in Star Wars and those beloved characters seem to be done. Star Wars is currently exploring new eras while it’s maintained a major focus on the Imperial and pre-Clone Wars Prequel eras. At best, we’ll see Clones in minor roles. Heck, that’s already happened in Queen’s Hope, Brotherhood, and Inquisitor Rise of the Red Blade, all Canon novels set in the Clone Wars. Jedi, Bounty Hunters, Mandalorians, and Rebels are the popular characters to follow these days.

They should have kept Sabine as just a Mando, she already had the most skills out of everyone in the ghost crew, she really didn't need the force to be important. Its annoying how disney also wont commit to a single idea, in the mandalorian and bad batch the whole plot is based off making clones with a high m count so they can use the force but then in Ahsoka you have Sabine using the force despite her low m count. Surely if it was possible to utilize the force with low m counts with enough knowledge and training, Palpatine wouldn't need to worry about his clones having a low m count as he by far has the most knowledge and experience with the force.

[@MCSPARTAN501]

Sabine's M-count was probably just below the Jedi Order's cutoff point (i.e. higher than a lot of regular people but not high enough to be considered worth training). It took a life-threatening situation for Sabine to finally figure out basic telekinesis, which a normal Jedi Initiate would have figured out quickly through training.

[@erinm9445]

I dunno, it makes complete sense that the emporer doesn't actaully understand the force with any depth, and that he just thinks of it in terms of a technology he can control and exploit.
