Watching Omega with the other Force-sensitive kids on Tantiss watch out for guards, testing out the walls for a passageway, and planning their escape immediately made me think of “Andor” and the Narkina 5 arc.
That remains, to date, the greatest story ever told within the “Star Wars” franchise — a poignant, emotionally charged, tightly written and paced, exquisitely acted by Andy Serkis, thrilling piece of storytelling. The scenes in the prison both showed the horrors of the Empire and the sacrifice and bravery of the Rebellion (in all of its forms).
We have spent over 15 years getting to know and care about the clones as people, not just as soldiers or numbers. To then watch “The Bad Batch” portray the Empire treating them as numbers again is heartbreaking. Making matters worse is that the Empire not only tossed them aside, but reprogrammed them to be mindless assassins, used them for experiments, and locked them up on Tantiss.
Before the Empire used forced labor on Narkina 5 to build the Death Star in secret, they were secretly experimenting on those who were created to defend the Republic. Add to that the kidnapping and experimenting of Force-sensitive children, and it’s hard not to want Tantiss to blow up in pieces.
