Full Series Royce Hemlock

Seems possible that Hemlock worked for Palpatine long before the end of the Clone Wars, maybe even before the events of The Phantom Menace.

 

I definitely think that's possible. I think between Bad Batch and Mandoverse, they're leading up to giving more backstory to how Snoke was created, and the Palpatine situation of course. With Snoke being kind of a clone-Frankenstein-monster put together from multiple DNA sources, I wouldn't be surprised if he's part Kaminoan.

 

Not a big fan of mad scientist stories in Star Wars, so I hope this (and cloning in general) is an aspect that starts to get phased out after the end of Bad Batch.

 

Well based on the Mandalorian season 3 and the ST, I think you are going to be disappointed.

Given the empire is basically space Nazis, mad scientist la kind of come with the territory.

 

I don’t know. Anything heading towards the ST is going to result in a diminishment of the cloning stuff, apart from as it relates to Palpatine himself. So I think it won’t be a big feature of either the post-ST or pre-PT storytelling.

 

Omega's new weird haircut is probably Hemlock's demand, this man is seriously evil.

 

Truly the worst crime

 

Spoiler: Season 3

With Sith runes in the main lab, wonder if Hemlock is a part of Sith Eternal.

Also he is continues to be rather collected despite all problems, that is great.

 

He is just a creepy and mad scientist

 

Well, he is also quite ambiguous and does not hide it at all from the Emperor. Although hope that his goal from Season 2 with "creating the perfect society" is still the primary one.

 

Just behind Project Necromancer

 

It seemed like it was when he was talking about being promoted to scientific minister

 

Yeah, that was very much a quid pro quo exchange. Bold of Hemlock to tag that onto Palpatine's visit, but he's clearly got his own agenda.

 

I can’t wait to see what happens to him

 

I still really want to know what’s wrong with his hand. Did he conduct an experiment on himself that went wrong?

 

Clearly it's the glove of Darth Vader!

 

The glove of Darth Vader sounds like a weird 1990s legends novel

 

That's because it is lol (junior reader novel anyway) - I had it haha

Edit - photo from google:



Books in the "Jedi Prince" series -

1. The Glove of Darth Vader
2. The Lost City of the Jedi
3. Zorba the Hutt's Revenge
4. Mission from Mount Yoda
5. Queen of the Empire
6. Prophets of the Dark Side

 

Seems quite possible, maybe he has an alien hand that he will use as a weapon at the end of this season.

 

Or Rotwang from Metropolis.




Anyway, I hope we'll see Hemlock don one of those purple "Imperial dignitary" outfits once he gets promoted to science minister.

 

But do you know what he sacrificed?

 

His hand?
