There’s a whole lot an evil entity could do with clones of a Force sensitive being, that much is certain. None of it seems particularly good, and Dr. Pershing appeared dead-set on the idea that his research could be used for good in the right hands. In the wrong hands? That’s another matter entirely. And there is also the question of whether or not it’s even Moff Gideon at the top of the food chain here. Or is he working at the behest of someone higher up the remnants of the Imperial ladder?
I admit I’m getting into reckless speculation territory here, but we know that Grand Admiral Thrawn is still out there thanks to Ahsoka Tano name-dropping him in “The Mandalorian” season 2. Presumably, he is going to show up in either this series or “Ahsoka,” if not both. We also know that “The Mandalorian” and its spinoffs are building to a big crossover event. With Thrawn in the mix, it’s hard not to think of “Heir to the Empire,” author Timothy Zahn’s beloved Star Wars Expanded Universe/Legends book series that served as a follow-up to the original “Star Wars” trilogy (where Thrawn first came to be).
Doing a loose adaptation of those novels would ignite sections of the fanbase like wildfire (myself included). More to the point, those books utilized cloning technology so Thrawn could try to get the Empire back in position as the dominant force in the galaxy. So, perhaps he’s the one behind all of this cloning business. Maybe he’s the one who really wants Grogu. And maybe, just maybe, this is all teeing up the ball for something much, much bigger.
“The Mandalorian” season 3 returns with new episodes Wednesdays on Disney+.
