The speeder bike chase has major Return of the Jedi vibes. It's likely the experiments Gideon is overseeing will result in the creation of Supreme Leader Snoke, the twisted, Force-strong being who'll lead the First Order - which is basically the Empire - as Palpatine's surrogate around 20 years after the events of this show ( The Force Awakens takes place 30 years after Return of the Jedi). My money's on the third option - we know from The Rise of Skywalker novelization that Palpatine was having difficulty making Force-strong clones for his consciousness to live in. Gideon ( Giancarlo Esposito) is seemingly trying to create Force-strong beings with Baby Yoda's blood, but it's unclear if he's doing this for his own ends, knowingly working the reborn Palpatine or unknowingly doing the hidden Emperor's bidding. Midi-chlorians are microscopic life forms in the cells of living beings - an individual's midi-chlorian count determines their ability to use the Force, and can be determined through a blood test.

He's referring to Baby Yoda's midi-chlorian count, a concept introduced in The Phantom Menace that makes many Star Wars fans grit their teeth because it brought a scientific element to the Force (which had been mystical up to that point). "I highly doubt we'll find a donor with a higher M-count though." "There were promising results for an entire fortnight, but sadly the body rejected the blood," Pershing says. The twisted test subjects look quite like Supreme Leader Snoke. They tried to use the blood harvested from the Force-strong little guy to replicate his powers in others, but apparently it didn't go so well. Pershing ( Omid Abtahi) to Moff Gideon reveals exactly why they want Baby Yoda. On the base, our heroes are horrified at the sight of some twisted creatures in test tubes - beings that look like First Order Supreme Leader Snoke and the clones seen in Emperor Palpatine's lab on Exegol in The Rise of Skywalker.Ī holographic message from Dr.
THE OFFICE SEASON 2 EPISODE 4 SERIES
It showed up regularly in CGI animated series Rebels and briefly in season 1 of this show, but this is the first time it's gotten the spotlight in live action. In a deeper cut, the boxy Imperial Troop Transport that Cara, Karga and Mythrol use to escape is based on a 1979 Kenner toy - the first that didn't appear in one of the movies. The action in this episode is killer - watching them sneak and shoot around the base and take out TIE fighters evokes the imagery of A New Hope, while the speeder bike chase echoes Return of the Jedi. While the Razor Crest is being repaired, Mando joins them in wrecking an Imperial Remnant base, the final step in making Nevarro safe.

It turns out he went on the run after engaging in some "creative accounting" - presumably stealing money from Karga. Mythrol ( Horatio Sanz), the first bounty we saw Mando collect, is Karga's bookkeeper as he works off his debt. Since we left, Rebel Alliance soldier-turned-mercenary Cara Dune ( Gina Carano) has been dispensing justice as Karga's enforcer - we first see her taking out some Aqualish fools in the Mandalorian Armorer's forge, which has been abandoned since last season - while he tries to transform the place into a respectable trading post. Mando returns to Nevarro, the Outer Rim world we got to know in season 1.
