please no
the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
what did you do to it, what did you do to it. I protected him I
protected him if it wasn't for me he would already be dead please
welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new Mandalorian video for
the secret plan that the empire has four baby Yoda why do they want him so bad if
you're new to the channel I do videos for all the episodes and Easter eggs
there's also big movie stuff obviously coming up because it's December as I'm
posting this video we're doing a merch giveaway too all you have to do to enter
is be a subscriber and leave your best theory about what the Emperor wants with
baby Yoda on the video cursory spoiler warning for everything that's happened
on the Mandalorians so far most of what we're talking about deals with stuff
from episodes 2 & 3 but there are a couple other clues from the other
episodes as well the most important baby Yoda seen so far in terms of evil empire
plots in explaining what's going on are from episodes 2 and episodes 3 during
episode 2 we get confirmation of a detail that we already kind of knew
members of Yoda's race are all born extremely force-sensitive and even
though he's still a baby by the standards of his race or a youngling
whatever you want to call him he's already super powerful holding the giant
mud horn that probably weighs a hundred times what he does in the air for an
extended period of time before he collapses from the strain a lot of
people at the end of episode 4 also thought that he would be able to use the
force to instinctively deflect the Bounty Hunter's rifle shot but I don't
think that's the case I think he's only able to perform those great feats like
the mud horn when he concentrates very hard and even that put him down for
about half a day yes he does seem like he has ninja-like powers of
teleportation and instant transmission if we're talking about Dragon Ball
skills appearing out of thin air to break the tension by slurping his soup
those are all really funny but that's more of an editing cheat that the show
uses in the name of comedy during episode 1 in episode 3 you hear dr.
Pershing talk about the kid in a really important way it was very important to
him that he get him back alive and was extremely excited when his scans showed
that he was super healthy as if that would somehow be even better for the
Empire's plans Verner Herzog's character who seems like an important person
within the remnants of the Empire seemed like he could care less whether or not
baby Yoda was brought back alive and didn't seem like he was on very good
turn with dr. Pershing like he didn't enjoy
working with him the way the doctor was reacting to everything especially during
episode when we first meet him just makes it seem like he's really jumpy
around the stormtroopers like he doesn't like being here working with these
people even though he himself is also part of the Empire that couple with the
idea that he wanted to protect baby Yoda just makes it seem like he has a more
complicated relationship with the Empire yes he works for an evil organization
but he's not completely evil himself I think that'll be more important for
later in the series but we've all talked about the Kamino and cloning symbols on
Doctor Pershing's Imperial uniform confirming that he works at the cloning
facility for the Empire or he worked there for the Empire when the Emperor
was still alive technically the Empire doesn't exist
anymore so all the Admirals in higher-level officials like the moths
that were left in the wake of the remnants of the Empire have seized what
power they could so technically the Empire is still around but it's not the
empire that we knew before is a bunch of different people calling the shots if
you haven't read a lot of the extended and new Star Wars Canon there are a
bunch of new comics that tell you more of what happened in and around the Clone
Wars supposedly according to the new Darth Vader comics it's detailed that
after the Clone Wars in the last batch of Republic clones had been delivered
the plan was for the Emperor to formally shut down the cloning facility
completely no more clones for anyone but cue Darth Plagueis the wise speech the
tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise the Emperor was obsessed with a couple of
things one knowledge of the force to immortality and three ruling the galaxy
you need a couple things to accomplish all those goals you need a giant army
and you would need more clones there's even an easter egg in the newer Star
Wars films where they talk about the idea that they want to go back to using
clones for their armies because they felt that they were more reliable than
the methods that are using in present-day
the present day of the new films so the whole idea is that all these Imperials
left around want more clones and the Emperor was supposed to quote/unquote
have closed the cloning facility but I think we can assume that he probably
didn't and he just kept it open as a side project in secret some more
evidence that the cloning facility has still been operating this whole time
during the course of the original trilogy is that you look at the
stormtroopers here five years after Return of the Jedi look
at their stormtrooper uniforms and how decrepid and dirty they are either
they're just really crappy stormtroopers and they don't care about keeping their
uniforms clean or this is just meant to be a sign of the state of the Empire
everything is slowly crumbling to dust the Empire itself is crumbling but dr.
Pershing is wearing this shiny brand-new looking Imperial cloning uniform as if
he in the cloning facility beyond the outer rim have been operating this whole
time insulated from the war with the rebellion I think that's just
confirmation that the Emperor was running a lot of secret cloning tests
and experiments on the side while this is all going on so it's probably safe to
assume that this is all part of Palpatine's grand plan but when he died
and you have all these warlords seizing power a lot of Palpatine secret projects
were being co-opted by the Admirals and the other moths that are left in the
wake of the Empire so here's a real important distinction there I think some
things that are going on during rise of Skywalker that seems similar to what
they're implying is going on in the Mandalorian with baby Yoda in this
cloning facility but because of what JJ Abrams and Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni
have said I think that the Mandalorian TV show isn't directly going to connect
with what's happening in rise of Skywalker it just seems like there are
some similarities and yes I do think that baby Oda will survive into the
future and become the future of the Jedi Order but before we talk about secret
baby Yoda plans I just don't think the baby Yoda is going to show up during rise
of Skywalker and save the day it's not going to be some deus ex machina or
anything like that because Yoda's race is so powerful the emperor would have
loved to have been able to study his biology in greater detail but couldn't
because Yoda would have discovered his secret too early and revealed him and
then once he was revealed as Darth Sidious Yoda had sequestered himself
secretly to Dagobah where the emperor couldn't find him on the other side of
the galaxy yeah doll had also disappeared after
Phantom Menace and believed to be dead so the emperor couldn't find her either
and they were the only two known members of their race at that time now we know
that's not true because baby Yoda is about 50 years old which means he was
born at about the same time that Anakin Skywalker was meaning that he predates
the prequels and predates the creation of the Clone Army in attack of the
clones which is why I don't think that the kid is a clone of Yoda but I
do think that dr. Pershing's conversation with werner herzog in
Episode three where he tells the doctor to hurry up and get his samples than
dispose of the kid implies that he's taking complete genetic scans of DNA
from the kid in order to create a new clone army not necessarily a clone army
of tiny little Yoda's even though that would be adorable the Kamino ends were
able to tamper with the genetic makeup of the original clothes to give them
traits or take traits away from them I think the plans for what they were doing
at the cloning facility changed after the galaxy believed the Emperor died
during Return of the Jedi and the Imperials left who seized what power
they could now want to use the cloning facility in baby Yoda's DNA to create a
new army of super force sensitive clones that they can control and clones that
have super long lifespans way longer than normal humans I saw some people
reacting to this scene in particular with him on the bio bed and thought that
dr. Pershing was literally extracting midi-chlorians from baby Yoda that's not
what he's doing you can't take someone's midi-chlorians like you can take their
blood samples but you can clone Jedi's they did it during legends during the
Thrawn Trilogy when the clone of another jedi master cloned a new version of luke
skywalker using the severed hand that he lost a cloud city that the emperor
collected and then later stored for use the clone of luke skywalker even though
it was a little weird wound up being just as force-sensitive as the original
version of luke and even though legends isn't supposed to be canon anymore Dave
Filoni has recanted eyes a ton of legend stuff fraud being the best example so
it's just an example that it is possible to create a bunch of force-sensitive
clones if you have the right DNA samples and baby yoda is one of the most
force-sensitive beings in the galaxy because of his race but like I said I
don't think that what they're doing with baby Yoda in the Mandalorian series is
directly connected to what's going on with rise of Skywalker
I think the rise of Skywalker stuff is completely separate for everyone asking
what's going on with baby Yoda in the present day of the Star Wars timeline
you also have to remember that they aged so slowly that even in present day 25
plus years when the new trilogy is happening he'd still be very very young
he'd have to be closer to 80 or a hundred years old before he'd be old
enough to begin any kind of formal Jedi training or any
like that and you have to remember to there is no Jedi Order right now there
are just a couple of really force-sensitive people that will
probably slowly start coming together and rebuild the Jedi Order but I do
think that he is critical to the future of the Jedi just someone who can live
and connect all the different future generations because he'll live so long
you also have to wonder if Giancarlo Esposito smoth Gideon character is the
one that's behind this big cloning plot because he used to be an imperial moth
before the fall of the Empire now as Gina Carano scare achter implies he's
more of a warlord who's just taking command of all the Imperial assets that
he could in the sector so maybe he is the evil person behind this plot because
Werner Herzog's character even though he seems like he's a very important person
doesn't seem like the most important person we still haven't gotten his name
but he is still alive he wasn't killed at the end of episode 3 so it's implied
that he will come back at some point early prediction they do get their hands
on baby Yoda at some point in dr. Pershing is critical to them rescuing
baby Yoda and he winds up flipping sides before the end of the series but
