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.

This. I thought sensitive, but not good enough was the explanation.

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.
