When Hemlock said that Emerie would be allowed into the Project Necromancer vault, I was expecting a dark chamber filled with tubes containing warped, deformed Palpatine clones. Instead, we are shown a clean, brightly lit room with a few innocent children sitting and playing with holograms - and somehow, that is even more horrifying.

Clones are ironically driven by a basic human desire: To belong ,and to have a purpose.

That “oh that’s classified” jab Hemlock said to Tarkin felt really bizarre. And it seemed Tarkin felt the same way. He’s not normally the one locked out of Imperial activities. He also had no grounds to argue on with it being a “project of personal interest to the Emperor”. Pretty cool. This guy was Krennics hero lmfao 😂

Bad Batch has far, far exceeded my expectations. It has been a fantastic series and I'm excited to see how it ends.

Something I see is that Emry is not only helping Omega is some ways, but she is getting help from Omega is return.

That laboratory reeked eerily of the prison from Andor. Cold, white, clean and utterly devoid of all personality, warmth and comfort. - Also, Tarkin already working again to hijack Project Necromancer and stealing it for his own, classic Tarkin once again!

Did anyone else see Scorch flinch when Hemlock says that the kids are "scientific assets nothing more." like wright as Emerie turns to look at hemlock scorch also turn to look but shifts his shoulders and gaze very uncomfortably. (I say this knowing full well he stuns one of the kids in the episode.) I think there may be some hope that there is still a man who learned some decency in there somewhere.

I’m pretty sure that all female staff in Tantiss you see in the background are female Fett clones, but I could be wrong.

The doll that Omega made, I myself was in shock Emery kept it as a souvenir, I was already in tears, it means she still has a heart, I knew that Omega would have a good influence on his sister, I will say one thing with joy, “Omega, you’re great,” you know what they say, “There is hope always even in dark terrible times"

I see what you're doing with the narratives of videos like this one, and I strongly approve, I'm so glad you're doing this and sending this message out to as many people as you can in order to try to make a world a better place. I have always really appreciated you and this channel, and my appreciation levels lately I've just skyrocketed. Thanks for everything my friend.

I’ve said it before I’ll say it once again. I love Allan and this channel because he’s able to point out and articulate real world problems/ real world thoughts, and to be able to identify and address those issues is amazing

The one thing I can say is whatever the next Star Wars animated project is I want Jennifer Corbett to head it. Bad Batch has been great (well at least season 2 and 3). Also these episodes were written by Amanda Rose Muñoz, and she has written for Bad Batch before, but this was definitely her best work yet.

I suspect Emerie will be the one to contact the Bad Batch (directly or indirectly) with Tantiss location.

I'm surprised you didn't have the scene where Emry confronts Nala sing. That part was literally Emry lashing out after seeing those children and then remembering that was her in Kamino or wherever she was sent to. That part was deep and then when Nala tells her afterwards.

As soon as I finished the episode too cheers Alan!

Almost spoiled a new episode for myself... Saving this for the morning

Did anybody else notice there were a number of other... suspiciously similar looking female officers/scientists walking around? I highly suspect Emerie isn't the only adult female Fett clone, in fact I think they're about to casually reveal the female clones are an entire separate cast of the Fett genes(similar to the CC's) with mental enhancements rather than physical ones, presumably bred for top secret scientific roles we haven't seen before. I don't think the similarities between Emerie and Tech's personalities are coincidental. I think Omega was the first attempt, Tech was the second, and Emerie was the eventual template they chose and used to create more clone scientists.

keep makin' great vids dude!!

Love your vids bro keep them coming 🙌

As inevitable as a big purple dude with a golden glove

Your talk at the end about constant cyncicim online really rings true for me

Keep up the great content bro!!

I thought the bit where Emerie told the girl that the other kid wouldn't get punished wasn't her lying, but rather not knowing how it would happen, if at all. Sure, she's worked at the facility for however long, and she knows how things work in the Empire, but at that point, she's only worked at the Vault for, like, a day or so. As far as she knew, the kids were held in the Vault the whole time, so she might have figured that the kid would still be the Vault, and would just probably be kept in his cell as punishment. Omega was confined to her room as punishment, but Omega normally had much more freedom of movement than the other kids.

Thank you for this video. It was amazing. I had forgotten how a few Professors in college had changed my worldviews, broaden my horizons that lasted for the rest of my life. I love how you take fandom subjects and include life lessons or history education in them. Our own Professor. Thank you.

Very well spoken. Thanks Allen👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Love the show!

Alan, I love your videos and they've gotten even better as of late. Love the messaging. It's not enough to fight the darkness. We have to be different from it as well.

Hemlock gives me vibes of a guy who wants to be in charge of *everybody* and is ambitious enough to try to hijack a project intended for the Emperor himself. Which is to say, I kind of feel like Hemlock has an ulterior motive and is trying to make a working Force-sensitive clone body that he could then transfer his own mind into, rather than Palpatine's.

15:12 thank you for saying this all. Too many people focus their attention on the negativity around them to the point where they can no longer even see the positivity on their own. 💚

Andor and The Bad Batch have gone out of their way to make sure no one still sees the Empire as "cool". The Mount Tantiss episodes have been deeply disturbing to watch. Something tells me I'll be in near tears when this series ends as I can't imagine it ending in any way except tragically

the vibes in this episode were on point. some shots looked straight from bladerunner 2049

An imperial commissar is what she is

The whole thing of isolating people and making them feel inadequate reminds me of an ongoing controversy in vtubing. The situation of Nijisanji being exposed as a black company to an incredible extent. Not only do they have a contract that's even illegal in Japan but they convince their livers that they can do nothing without the agency and it's parent company Anycolor. Fortunately, much like things with people in the Empire, that's coming unwound as people realize that they can succeed and even exceed previous levels of success away from the agency.

Alright dude. Awesome vid.

These two were fire!! Bad Batch is turning out to be some badass Star Wars content!!! Shit felt like weapon x program, how wolverine’s dna was damaged so they made xx, hence Laura Emerie IS one of the kids, her home is a test tube, these kids were snatched

Well done.

Hi Alan, I love your real world analogies. Star wars does great job at capturing how broken humanity is. I would love to discuss geopolitics with you. It would be surely inspiring.

3:46 anyone else wondering when Emmery was sent away, and the reason why? Then the circumstances after she was removed from Kamino?

Man this was a sad episode, but very good

zillo beast grows by consuming energy not meat

I always imagine a stormtrooper who wants to leave and join the Rebellion during a battle because he's not actually a bad person but he gets shot down anyway. I imagine that everytime I watch Rebels, Bad Batch, and the Orginal Trilogy.

Very Nice

good video... Nice to see a return to IRL comparisons. SW is and always will be a fantastic vehicle for political and social thought experimentation: A universe that exposes our own through amplified diversity and explicit differences. WRT ideology - I came to the realisation years ago that they should be viewed in similar terms to George Box's comment on mathematical models: that "all models are wrong, but some are useful". Ideologies provide a neat way to package theories around human societies and behaviours, and allow a start point for the development of policy and laws. But they are ultimately limited in their validity. Ideologies should be the start point for political education and never employed in isolation. To slavishly follow any ideology is to be like a undergrad that never reads beyond the syllabus ... principled behaviour requires context, case study and dispassionate discourse ... the true mark of a mature polity.

Love how you’re using starwars to highlight greater truths going on in today’s world. Feels like you’re talking to someone in particular but maybe that’s just a good breakdown. Anyway love the channel

I was tryna figure out why I had not seen your videos lately! I was not subbed! oops XD

Now where the show has ended I can honestly say throughout this season I cared more for Emerie than for Omega actually

Time stamp- 14:10 Well spoken, Alan. Well spoken.

It seems to me the female clones were created to assist with the cloning science stuff. But also, why is she named Emerie Karr? There is only one other clone I know of with a first and last name.

With Emerie there is some kind of "banality of evil": just doing my job, no matter what that job is... even to achieve horrible things and not consider themselves "evil", because they only were following orders. Could be a very decent person and behave like a good one with all they consider their "equals" meanwhile doing terrible things to those who they don't perceive as it (in this case, been treated as a scientific asset). It has not to be a moral dilemma for the person because they don't consider they are doing bad things, but been a "good" person following what they are told to do or achieving a lot of accomplishments in their field.

Double header Bad Batch Banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥 felt that

0:49 Dont you mean it is *invincible title card plays*

i'm still waiting for the twist that she ain't a clone and was lying.

This episode was very unsettling of what the empire does with kids. Sicking i hope hemlock gets what he truly deserves and not the rampar treatment

We've seen a handful of Clones who went bad in one way or another and a lot of them are just apathetic at this point in galactic history but most seem to be genuinely pretty good at heart, so it's unsurprising that Emerie came around to be the same.

Your final message, made me feel hope we might make it

*Hello there*

I think Hemlock and Emerie are a dark version of Hunter and Omega.

I wonder why Emerie has a first and last name, unlike other Fett clones (including Omega). If she's a normal, but female, accelerated aging Fett clone it's impressive she was able to get a doctorate in such little time too.

great vid

A sword that is too hard keeps its edge extremely well, but chips easily, is more difficult to sharpen, and is brittle, breaking too easily under stress. A sword that is too soft lacks a reliable thrust, bends out of shape, dulls very quickly, and isn't efficient when surrounded by or forced into contact with tougher objects, having greater difficulty cutting and slicing. The best weapon is layered, structured in various creative ways, combines the flexibility/shock absorption of softer metals with the toughness, efficiency in slicing/thrusting, and penetration of strong materials. The mind and body of a soldier is the same. They require strength, toughness, sharpness, flexibility, and longevity to operate at peak efficiency; emotions are not the enemy, they are the softness that prevents a hard blade from shattering under strain and allows one endure environments/circumstances that would otherwise destroy it. The combination of soft and hard, of ruthlessness and mercy, of efficiency and honor, loyalty and rage; these produce a far superior example in weapons and human beings. A weapon that is not used is good only as a display piece, only good at something it was never designed for which isn't worth much; display weapons break easily, bend easily, lose their edge almost instantly, and are completely without balance aka good for being looked at, poor at the nature and reason for its existence to the extent when finally used it can not accomplish its purpose. Family and brethren, comrades and freedom, fear and love, patriotism and cynicism, cruelty and compassion. Duality is in our nature. Fail to master both or neglect one and you will break. Unlike a tool or a weapon, it is much harder to repair or reforge a human being into a superior example of the species. Ultimately, just like a weapon, whether a human being will fail and break under combat conditions is something you can only discover after experiencing it; the sad fact is that a broken or unreliable weapon/person is extremely dangerous to you and your comrades. Many a person has had to be killed by their own comrades to preserve and protect the lives of the of the squad, company, and division. A soldier that can't function as a soldier is often a greater danger to themselves and their comrades than the enemy, but this person isn't malicious or cowardly, only a problem that MUST be fixed. There is no triumph in their deaths, no glory, and no evil intent when they are executed, only sympathy and understanding with the hope that others would have the same courage and mercy to extend the same courtesy to you if/when you become that type of danger to those you would die for and kill to protect. They suffered an equipment malfunction, not a failure of courage/loyalty/honor. You can survive a hundred battles without a problem, only to go mad or break at the worst possible time in the worst possible place during the 101rst battle. The greatest comfort in having comrades is knowing that they are watching over you and won't allow you to be the one responsible for getting everyone you care for killed due to some misplaced sense of altruism, they'll protect you from the enemy and protect everyone else from you if the worst should happen. Never leave a soldier behind "alive" aka don't wimp out on them or suffer them the torment of being a prisoner of war; very few militaries share our sense of decency and fair treatment for POW's, even then we'll break the conventions if it is weighed as being critical to survival/success; often using loopholes; "wasn't aiming at THEM...just the buttons on their shirt". Think of it as pulling the plug on a brain dead person and being entrusted to make that decision by a family member so they don't suffer a fate worse than death, in itself it is a relief of stress that may keep that person from breaking. Brought to you by The Philipps Family, serving in every American conflict since 1776 and surviving as proud Cymru warriors (as well as Princes) since roughly 760 BC. On a related note, ALWAYS pass down your knowledge and skills. Train your sons to be strong, your daughters to be stronger, and always know how to give power up once your goal is accomplished. Power and strength that doesn't serve the betterment and protection of your family only makes you a target, causes more trouble than its worth, and may corrupt you or open you up to corrupting influences. Lastly, always remember this: no matter how mighty or clever or skilled you may think yourself to be, NOBODY wins for long. Sometimes you may find that even when defeated, you've won. Losing the battle, surrenduring your home/castle to the enemy is defeat by any definition yet if it ensures your family survives to live the type of life you've taught them to appreciate and aspire to, then a castle is a small prices to pay for the life of a son. -Theodosius Montreville Philipps, descendant of Sir Erasmus Philipps of Picton Castle whose father was forced to choose between his only son and the castle our family ruled for centuries after the Pro-Parlement Commander broke the white flag of truce to kidnap a three year old Erasmus then threatened to launch him at Picton Castle in a catapult if the Baronet did not immediately offer his unconditional surrender. To his eternal credit, he did not hesitate in surrendering knowing that doing so may cost he and his son their lives and lands yet not doing so would result in certain death for his only son. A child of your family should always be worth so much to you that giving up lands, title, and a castle for their life isn't worth a moment's hesitation; otherwise you have no family and never did or if you do, it isn't worth pissing on if someone set it on fire.

11:18 does anyone know the name of the track that plays during this scene? it is creepy yet cool

I'll tell you what's inevitable Omega getting captured again 😅 and I'm generation tech

Grand Moff Tarkin needs to see your TPS report 😅

These past episodes gave me heavy resident evil vibes.

Seeing tech makes me sad :c

“Alpha” is still out there.

considering emeire looks to be about the same age biologically speaking to as the adult clones. i doubt 1st genration due to the fact if she had 'sped' up growth, like rex and other 1st gens she have the same age lines on her face as the accelerated ageing took its toll and it seems that omega like boba was an unaltered clone with the exception of being breed with more medicolrings than he would have received being a direct clone of jango. for what purpose omega was given mediclorings we still dont know. as i thought originally she may have being created as an insurance policy by the cloners. that when she reached a certian age she being a more or less pure clone of jango would have being...harvested to create future generations but if she had always being intended to have the cability for force powers. than omgea may have being intented to create a line of force sentive clones as that did happen once or twice in the old eu when the kamanos realised they were up shit creek with out a paddle though its my understanding that happened well into the empires reign not with in what, the first year maybe 2? but back to emerie, it could be if she was created to be a back up for omega. to have an hire and a spare as it were but what ever method the kamono's used to create the medicloing count in omaga didnt work and rather than recycle her they or likely Narla sa sent emerie away. and emerie sees this as abadoment which it partly is but also it likely saved her life considering also how emotionally stunted or shut down emerie is, even comared to male stock of clones. she could have being flawed in other ways

Do you share your script with EckhardsLadder? He uploaded his video like one hour later but it contains many of your phrases like a 1:1 copy.

Mathematically, as emerie is also a feet clone, she has to have sped up aging elsewise she would be 14-15 like omega

I forsee very datk things for all involved in this show, keep in mind that this is before the New Hope.

Truly wild

One wonders if Omega had her aging slowed.

After watching this video, I cannot helped but wondering is that today's media glorified villains with tragic backstories as being justified in all awful things and crimes they committed or not. In fact, some of those heroes who stopped them get blamed for everything the villains did after the leaks that revealed they are the ones who ultimately responsible for turning these individuals into villains in the first place.

Tons of Invincible references in this video 👀

there are few adults left with such character yeah hemlock is a sociopath he so enjoyed the way he phrased that knowing that palpatine wiped all the adult force sensitives and that emery had no clue

I'm not sure if I'm only one episode 10 of season 3 off a bad batch that's a very unsettling feeling almost closed been a tiny bit scary it's just my opinion I'm not sure if nobody else has the same opinion

I still see that big flex of nature coming. Get ready.

I think emery is hemlock's slam piece.

Can we talk about the difference between "droids" and "mechs" in star wars which apparently there is are differences

Wow

i actually feel sorry for hemlock he needed better friends at a young age i really struggle to empathise with people and absolutely have "watch you burn in hell for scratching my car" scoiopathic tendancies he probably believes he has more authority and value under palpatine than he thinks he has on his own. clearly a sound scientific mind but hes taking a shortcut for acceptance because the people around him are animals

This was painful but inevitable...

shes been manipulated hard i bet she was told the m count work was for medical research if she plays elder scrolls she knows that necromancy isnt good in any form

I think it's highly likely that this new clone hunter guy is brainwashed Tech.

Specimens. Padawans.

the empire was so dark and evil pre Death Star, standing up to the big bad Tarkin might not have been a wise move > Darth Vader!! it’s set after Yoda duel with the emperor < Yoda can’t help as he would be in exile at the planet he goes too! Luke saved Grogu😎😊😊! + there’s ventress👈!🤔, HEMLOCK will meet his Downfall🔥🔥🔥😎!

How many dogs did the kaminoans end up cloning to perfect their cloning process?

Great job connecting Star Wars to the real world and as a source of inspiration. BAMF!

*Surprised

Why does she have a last name and not a clone designation???

Emperor Palpatine is a Sick Man, a Truly Despicable Monster. Illdûl Morgos will tell him this: For his Sins, he will be casted into the Abyss, where he, and all other Truly Evil Sith will suffer in anguish for Eternity.

This was a poignant episode for Emerie and in a small way the clones I’ll start with the clones . The clones for a long time were looked at as disposable assets and now they are viewing those kids as disposable assets which is both sad and ironic. As for Emerie she is like iden Versio in the since that it only takes one thing one order one person for you to question what you are supporting

I am Emery, because that is my Middle Name.

My main thing with her is that she sounds defeated. That her spirit was broken by making her an object as opposed to a human being. He is cold with the exception of anger. It was also interesting that they refer to Crosshair most of the time by his number, but Hemlock himself refers to his top commander as “Commander Scorch”. Then there’s the current clone x operator. The first time we see him is briefly and he seems to be staring at Crosshair while he’s being brought to the lab before going through a door that Hemlock came out of from the vault. It also seems that for a sicko like Hemlock if there was a possibility that he could make Tech an enemy of CF99 would be the death blow to them. It also appears that this specific clone x answers only to Hemlock now. You can tell Hemlock was actually frustrated while talking to him because he was disappointed that it couldn’t be rubbed in their faces that Tech successfully abducted Omega and brought her back to Tantiss. This can go either way. We come to learn that Hunter found clone x’s ship and slapped a homing beacon on it. Based on how the ship landed and took off from the cave it looked like a drop into water once you go over the rocks, and when you’re that close to shore/rocks the waves will slam you into them and tire you out quickly. It’s also hard to understand how their armor chooses when or when it doesn’t have life support. Clone X comes up coughing like he was taking in water, same with Hunter except Wrecker and him no problem staying underwater to deactivate mines. Or we will get another lame Omega can use the force too storyline. I prefer to believe that if not the Hunter way Ventress was being more than just critical of their ability to keep a low profile gets them to pose as bounty hunters and Rex and company give Scorch and Emerie a chance to help them. We are running out of time and I’d love to find out Cody is leading another clone cell made up of mostly the 212th.

It's so sad that steve jobs died Hemlock: Who the hell is steve jobs? Emperor Palpatine: Ligma balls

zillow beast eating like luffy🤣

Scorch is not only badass because he's a Republic Commando from Delta Squad, but he's also the only die hard loyal Imperial. There's not enough characters like Scorch anymore. Enough with the defecting Imperials! It's damn-near predictable anymore.

Emerie is going to die art the end of the season

Emery isn't a clone. She is the original amd omega is a clone of her. She has a name, she doesn't talk to nalasai like she has known her for her entire life like omega does. Carr was probably taken as a child. Why would they create a female clone at the beginning of the clone wars when male clones were a top priority and genetic material was limited.

People don't want to be, it HAS to be taught. People are selfish by nature.
