While seeking an unexpected source, the Batch must make a daring escape.

Omega is becoming the equivalent of Michael Scofield ... Batcher likely has a tattoo of the Tantiss floor plan.

The observation area must be the way out...

I'm shocked Rampart is still alive. Would have thought he would have come to an end at some point. He was pretty high up there with access to a lot of knowledge. And yeah, labor is needed but it'd probably be worth it to remove the temptation. I'm not sorry he's around but surprised. 

Crosshair will go back for Omega, but it's so hard for him confronting Tantiss and Rampart and it's escalating his tremor. I'm so glad we're getting this story. And not so overt, but enough for us to see that this is very hard for him. Hard being back with is brothers, hard trusting Omega, willing to do the painful stuff but it's not easy or without a cost. I like this a lot. 

I'm thinking Hemlock is trying to be pleasant with Omega so she'll cooperate more. She escaped already, and as much as she'll be secure, it's better if she cooperates. I hate it when they're smart. He's got a blind spot with Emerie though. I wish this season was longer or we had another season because I'd really like to know more about her. 

I've really enjoyed this season. I'm sad this story is coming to an end. I know it's going to break my heart but I'm glad we're getting it. At least we're getting more animation with Tales of the Jedi Empire. I really like this style and I'd be really sad if this was the last of it.

Vader never got the chance to Force Choke him...

Okay so Omega is not Force Sensitive then? Her blood can just keep the blood of people with Force Sensitive blood uh, intact so it doesn’t deteriorate or something somesuch somehow?

That's what it sounds like. It would seem M-count, which enables those who have a high count to more easily access the Force, cannot be cloned. Palpy wants to clone himself with Force sensitivity but it's near impossible. So they need someone like Omega and to study her physiology/blood to understand why and how M-count is transferred/maintained and therefore could be cloned. Maybe they shouldn't have destroyed Kamino and found her private lab with all the information. But I guess it's easier to destroy and steal than actually do the work. 

It could be that Omega exists because Nala Se, as a side project, was trying to figure out how to clone M-count. Those soldiers would be highly prized. Actually it would be prized throughout the galaxy as the Jedi were really quite rare. And she gave up on it because reasons. Or it was just a challenge to see if she could do it but decided not to because it would be a threat and just kept Omega so she could keep it quiet but could also monitor. It might be that it has to be a female and that's why Emerie exists. And Omega was the last one.  It kind of explains why Nala Se let Omega escape in the first episode of the series and hired Fennec to keep her from Lama Su. Maybe she didn't want any one else to figure it out. Maybe she saw the potential damage it could do. But she has done what she could to keep that knowledge out of the Palpy's hands.

Hemlock -like Krennic- might end up choking on his aspirations... If the Batch does not kill him, Tarkin might...
