The Mandalorian
Summary
An intriguingStar Warstheory suggestsThe Mandalorianseason 2 fix up the true origins ofSupreme Leader Snoke . Revealed to be a genetic strandcast created by Emperor Palpatine to lead the First Order , Snoke became Palpatine ’s placeholder during the sequel era ahead ofThe Rise of Skywalker . However , The Mandalorianseason 2 may have teased where Snoke ’s own mightiness in the Force came from .
InThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 4 , a mission to infiltrate the Imperial Remnant ’s base of operations on Nevarro sees Din Djarin and his ally coming across a holo - recording from Doctor Pershing , a cloning engineer in the service of Moff Gideon and the Imperial Remnant .

What ’s the best way to watch Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you want to know to watch in discharge or timeline parliamentary procedure , and how to admit the TV shows .
Dr. Pershing Mentions A “Volunteer” In The Mandalorian Season 2
During His Report To Moff Gideon
Pershing ’s recorded substance is boast inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 4 " Chapter 12 : The military blockade " . In it , the clone technologist confirms the promising results he received from Grogu ’s blood samples while also stressing the need to reclaim the child before experimentation can take up due to his high midi - chlorian count as a Force - tender . It ’s also confirmed that Pershing ’s work involves transfusing M - count into the blood of other beings , specifically clone bodies .
As seen in bothThe Mandalorianseason 3 andThe Bad Batchseason 3 , Pershing ’s experimentation were confirmed to be part of the dark legacy that isProject Necromancer : provide a viable Force - raw knockoff body for Emperor Palpatine to transfer his essence follow his death , effectively granting him a disconsolate immortality . However , Pershing also talk to a mysterious " Tennessean " whom he fears will brook the same regrettable fate as past subjects whose bodies rejected roue transfusions with low M - numeration ( presumptively with black results ) . That said , the identity of this volunteer has yet to be revealed in theStar Warstimeline .
Moff Gideon’s Clones Prove This Volunteer’s Experiment Succeeded
Gideon’s Clones Were Force Sensitive
While the Tennessean ’s identity element remain a mystery , it ’s worth noting that the Imperial Remnant ’s brief fourth dimension with Grogu back in their custody inThe Mandalorianseason 2 yielded positive answer , just as Pershing had understand before they ran out of their initial supply of the child ’s origin . This is proven through the embayment ofmultiple to the full - grow Moff Gideon clones bring out inThe Mandalorianseason 3 . Not only did they see incisively like Gideon as the original familial templet , but they were also personnel - sensitive thanks to Grogu ’s parentage and its eminent M - count . Although they were destroyed before they could come forth from their give birth pods , they ’re proof nevertheless that Grog contain the key to the successful creation of Force - sensitive clones .
Likewise , whileThe Mandalorianseason 3 revealed that Gideon was involved in Project Necromancer via Pershing , it was Brendol Hux who was actually in care of operations . Combined with the official confirmation fromThe Bad Batchseason 3 that Necromancer is indeed Palpatine ’s resurrection experiment , it ’s absolved that Gideon ’s clon were an illicit side project kept hidden from the rest of the Imperial Shadow Council . As such , it stands to reason thatPershing ’s volunteer subject was more than potential part of the official Project Necromancer rather than Gideon ’s personal command for magnate , one who did have a successful M - count transfusion .
The Mandalorian Soundtrack Hints At Snoke Being The Volunteer
Similar Themes
finally , some of the most intriguing evidence to propose that Snoke was Pershing ’s military volunteer is audible . As has been notice by manyStar Warsfans online , Snoke ’s theme from John Williams ' grade forThe Force Awakenssounds unusually like " Experiment " , the accurate track by composer Ludwig Göransson that act during Pershing ’s transcription for Gideon inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , sequence 5 . John Williams ' " Snoke " can be listened to in the embed below :
In a resemblance that is likely far more than a mere co-occurrence , the beginning of " Snoke " sounds very much like the beginning of " experimentation " by Göransson ( embedded below ):
Beyond being dark and minacious , there are interchangeable government note featured in both tracks . Combined with the nearby genetic experiments while the music is meet and Persing ’s recording inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , a connection to Snoke certainly seems to be the desired consequence .

Snoke May Have Truly Been Created From Grogu’s Blood
The Bad Batch Season 3 Could Reveal More Of Grogu’s History
All things considered , it does seem as though Supreme Leader Snoke could have easy been Pershing ’s unpaid worker psychometric test theme . It would explain the source of his Force sensitiveness as a manufactured genetic strandcast , peculiarly when other strandcasts such asRey ’s Father-God Dathan had no Force sensitivity . Although it ’s part of the establishedStar Warscanon that Palpatine rejected Snoke as an unworthy host , a rarefied and successful ancestry blood transfusion thanks to Grogu ’s blood would also explain why Snoke was still kept around , becoming Palpatine ’s placeholder as Supreme Leader of the First Order .
While there ’s no question that both Grogu and Snoke are part of the legacy that his Project Necromancer and Palpatine ’s resurrection . However , it seems very potential that the connection between the two run even deeper withGrogu ’s stemma being the unmediated informant of Snoke ’s own power in the Force . While there are still large gaps of story for bothStar Warscharacters , it ’s possible more of Grogu ’s history could be revealed sooner rather than later on asThe Bad Batchseason 3 continues to search Project Necromancer ’s experiments during the reign of the Empire .
