The Bad Batchseason 2 endinglaid the base for time of year 3 , with the Empire pressuring Nala Se , the Kaminoan cloning scientist , to contribute to the mysteriousProject Necromanceron Mount Tantiss . Given Palpatine ’s return inStar war : The ascent of Skywalker , his intentions seemed clear , but the mechanisms were not .

However , The Bad Batchseason 3 has already begun the work of play up exactly how he achieved that shocking ( and controversial ) homecoming in theStar Warssequel trilogy . While it was percipient that the program call for cloning , it was n’t untilThe Bad Batchseason 3 that the significance of the clone cavalryman themselves was let out .

The Empire Is Injecting Clones With Midi-Chlorians

Within the first few episodes ofThe Bad Batchseason 3 , it was revealed that the Empire is experimenting with megabyte - counts , or Midi - chlorians , to see whether clones can be penetrate with the Force . While M - counts alone do not ensure that one will gain Force abilities , they do reflect someone ’s potential with the Force . It follow , then , thatthis at least can conduct to an aptitude for the Force . Excitingly , Omega was the first clone identify as have the power to rise an M - count , suggesting that she may also be on her way to gaining Force abilities .

The Empire is experiment with M - counts , or Midi - chlorians , to see whether clones can be imbued with the Force .

Ultimately , Star Warshas already uncover that the Empire is successful in their end . InThe Rise of Skywalker , the decompose body that Palpatine inhabits is a ringer of himself , clearly equal to of the Force , as he efficaciously battle Rey . What has n’t been revealed even now , however , is who becomes the conduit for this possibility .

Crosshair’s Body Was Likely Injected With Midi-Chlorians

Crosshair has had an fantastically complex journeying throughoutThe Bad Batch , betraying his brothers in Clone Force 99 and working alongside the Empire afterOrder 66 . It seems time of year 3 is no exception to this complicated history ; in fact , his story bow may be let an even bigger twist . Crosshair , like Omega , was being detain by the Empire and try out upon . This intend he was no doubt also being injected with Midi - chlorians . While Omega remain the only clon formally able to take on Midi - chlorians to escort , that does n’t shut Crosshair .

While Z remain the only clon officially able to take on Midi - chlorians to appointment , that does n’t take out Crosshair .

kick in Omega and Crosshair ’s successful escape from the Empire , it ’s totally possible that they simply had yet to catch that his M - count transfer was successful . This plot twist would also make great sense for Crosshair ’s role bow . With Crosshair ’s story of fighting against his own chum and aligning himself with the Empire , he needs a serious repurchase . Although that has already begun , with him helping Omega escape the Empire and return to the Bad Batch , that alone wo n’t be enough . take a leak him the first Force - sensitive clone , however , might .

Crosshair Is Now Learning Jedi Meditation Techniques

InThe Bad Batchseason 3 , installment 8 " Bad Territory , " Z is see show Crosshair how to properly meditate . Not only does this suggest that Z herself is connecting with the Force , furthering the theory that she has become Force - sensitive via Midi - chlorians , but it also nods toward Crosshair ’s possible Force sensitivity . In fact , Z even references Gungi , a Wookiee Jedi fromStar Wars : The Clone Warswho is one of fewJedi survivors of purchase order 66and has appear inThe Bad Batch .

By like a shot referencing a Jedi , The Bad Batchseems to be heavily suggest at Omega and Crosshair ’s possible Force connexion . Particularly give way that the two were rent in one of the most iconic Jedi power , it seems extremely possible that such a reveal is coming for at least one of the characters . WhileStar Wars : The Bad Batchseason 3 has n’t yet confirmed any clone to currently be strength - sensible , Crosshair , perhaps the most surprising option , may just becomeStar Wars’first .
