Summary
Warning ! SPOILERS for The Bad Batch time of year 3 episodes 1 - 3 .
Order 66 inStar war : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithis one of the most horrific and heartbreaking events inStar Warsbut one missed detail might make it far , far worse . Star Warsseems obsessed with evince order of magnitude 66from as many points of view as possible , with multiple series likeObi - Wan Kenobi , The Mandalorian , andThe Bad Batchall containing flashbacks to the spill of the Jedi . Overall , it ’s as ifPalpatine ’s victory over the Jedi is the centerpiece that the entireStar Warstimeline rotate around .
Despite constantly showing offdozens of Jedi who survived Order 66 , the franchise rarely talks aboutwhat happened to the Jedi who fall . Thousands of Jedi go across the galaxy when Palpatine gave the order , but the Empire is strangely quiet about what happened to their bodies in the aftermath of the massacre . InStar WarsLegends , 100 of dead Jedi were dragged outside the Jedi Temple and burned at the entrance as a warning to those who would defy Palpatine . But inStar WarsCanon , something far worse pass off to the deceased Jedi .
The Empire Stockpiled Jedi Corpses After Order 66
There are some strange clue dissipate throughout some ofStar Wars’more recent projects as to what the Empire did with many of the fall Jedi . Rather than bury them or burn them , the Empire kept many of the body as trophies . Obi - Wan Kenobiepisode 4 show how the Inquisitors keep on a grave filled with Jedi corps in the bowel of Fortress Inquisitorious . Seasoned Jedi Masters like Tera Sinube and Coleman Kcaj can be see suspended in resin - like blocks ; even some younglings are displayed . However , it ’s left over for the Empire to preserve the bodies for the only role of medallion .
Of course , the Jedi tomb at Fortress Inquisitorious was n’t the only instance where the Empire disrespects fallen Jedi . Star Wars Rebelsseason 1 , instalment 5 shows the Ghost Crew attempting to rescue Master Luminara Unduli from the Spire , an majestic prison on Stygeon Prime . To their revulsion , they find that she died long ago , and thatthe Empire keep Luminara ’s mummified remainsto bait drop off Jedi to the prison house through the Force . This gives a hardheaded reason why the Empire kept some fallen Jedi , but it still does n’t excuse why they go to such lengths to properly uphold them .
Palpatine Is Obsessed With Cloning Himself
The answer to why the Empire kept so many deadened Jedi around becomes clearer in lighter of Palpatine ’s cloning compulsion . Recently , The Bad Batchseason 3 has highlightedPalpatine ’s stake in Project Necromancer , the Imperial programme devoted to create a consummate knockoff of Palpatine . In other Holy Writ , Disney is still assay to fixStar warfare : The cost increase of Skywalker’sabysmal “ somehow ” explanationfor how Palpatine managed to shaft end . Nevertheless , The Bad Batchseason 3 also bring out an integral flaw that come with cloning , one that the all in Jedi could potentially mend .
There are some neat elements from the continuation trilogy that Star Wars could explore , though Lucasfilm seems determined to rivet on just Palpatine .
According to Doctor Hemlock and Nala Se , with the Empire ’s current technology , cloning a guinea pig almost always degrades the midi - chlorian countfrom the original to the ringer . While this error has no effect on the Republic ’s clone United States Army — since they were breed for physical combat and not Force - sensitivty — it get a major exit for Palpatine ’s plan . Palpatine ’s eventual destination is to transfer his essence into a perfect knockoff of himself , efficaciously making him immortal . But if his clone lacks the same ability he currently has , then the transfer would intend he ’s downgrading himself , not kick upstairs .

Where Did Moff Gideon Get The Idea To Steal Grogu’s Blood?
Curiously enough , Moff Gideon seems to steal Palpatine ’s idea of promote a cloned version of himself inThe Mandalorianseason 3 . Despite his cloning machinations only come to luminosity in season 3 , its unmortgaged Moff Gideon contrive to increase his midi - chlorian count all the means back beforeThe Mandalorianseason 1 . It ’s possiblehe hunted Grogu simply because he was convey out Project Necromancerfor Palpatine . But at some level , Gideon agnize Palpatine ’s unfeigned intentions for Grogu , and rather than continue working for him , Gideon betrays the Empire .
Palpatine intended to craft a clone with even more musical instrument digital interface - chlorians than his original , then transpose his gist into it . But Gideon could n’t transfer his essence ; instead , he was prepared to allow his clones to surpass him with their superior Force - sensitvity . But in all of this , Grogu was the key both Gideon and Palpatine sought after . Blood that was deep with midi - chlorians was necessary for overcoming the inherent fault in cloning . And whileMoff Gideon was almost successful in create a force - sensitive cloneof himself , Palpatine ’s clone ended up being weak .
George Lucas ’ estimation for midi - chlorians demystified the Force , but recent Star Wars projects have begun repairing the mystery behind the Force .
Palpatine Saved The Jedi Corpses For Their Midi-Chlorians
With all the piece of the puzzler in seat , the answer becomes clear ; Palpatine deliberately relieve andpreserved loads of all in Jedi to use them in his midi - chlorian cloningexperiments . While he worked to make a living perdition for the Jedi alive after parliamentary law 66 , he also disrespected those who had fallen by seek to steal their sacred connection to the Force . Given the disreputable United States Department of State of his clone inThe hike of Skywalker , it seems Palpatine go wrong to create a more sinewy clone for himself , which is likely why he gave the supernumerary Jedi body to the inquisitor .
The fact so many dead Jedi were preserved by the Empire can not be for mere medallion . But Palpatine ’s loser to create a superior clone suggests harvesting midi - chlorians off the dead may be unacceptable . This is why Moff Gideon is so obsessed with capturing Grogu alive , and is also why Doctor Hemlock wants Omega alive inThe Bad Batch . Palpatine was resourceful enough to at least assay siphon midi - chloriansoff of the hundred of Jedi he ’d vote down , but he at last discovered their corpses were of little use to Project Necromancer .
If Moff Gideon used Grogu ’s blood for Project Necromancer , its very possible Palpatine could have been resurrected far rather than he was . Moff Gideon was roleplay against the Empire when he essay to steal Palpatine ’s idea for himself . But as it stand , the franchise seems to suggest thatmidi - chlorian full-bodied blood must come from a living hostin order to increase the M - counting of a knockoff . Nevertheless , The Bad Batchseason 3 ’s midi - chlorian reveal proves just how much Palpatine ravish the fallen Jedi afterStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith .
