We start onboard a broken Imperial ship that has crash landed on an unknown planet.
Except the doctor is not so eager to help the Empire after they destroyed her home and her civilization.
Meanwhile, Cid contacts the Batch who arenothappy about how sheleft them strandedwith no ship.
Omega feels betrayed, and she lets Cid know in a scene thats been two seasons in the making.
Not thatStar Warshadnt done horror before (The Clone Warshad a zombie episode and an H.R.
Gigerinspired episode), but this is a full-onAlienhomage, and it rules.
And the more it consumes the bigger it grows, as it evolves like a Pokemon.
The moment they realize this is a fight they cant win, Hunter orders a retreat.
Thats right, this is not just anAlienhomage but also akaijuepisode, and that rules.
It turns out Palpatine himself ordered the cloning of the Zillo, but way before he became the Emperor.
Probably not, but not for the reasons we might have hoped.
He agrees to help the Empire convince Nala Se to join the research in exchange for his own freedom.
Seek out a female clone, the key to controlling Nala Se.
Maybe that wont matter because well still get standalone episodes.
Hopefully they are as thrilling as this one.
The Mission Report
Time to speculate what Palpatine wants from the cloning research.
Is this anotherDeath Starthing?
