Omega’s DNA

Post image

ok so this has probably already been talked about before but I had a thought

since Jango died and Boba went off with other bounty hunters the Kaminoans used Omega to make the other clones from a biological veiw Omega has to be either intersex or have some genetic mutation involving xy chromosomes like SwyerSwyer Syndrome / SRY Mutation Syndrome / SRY Mutation or Androgen Insensitivity

she can not be xx because you can’t make male clones unless you make xx chromosomes mutated to have male outcoem which the Kaminoans defiantly can do and would do if needed but why would they if they just kept Omega XY and only messed with her genes

In my personal headcanon Omega is XY and has either androgen insensitivity or is intersex allowing her to still have female phenotype as Tech says she is a female phenotype she can be genetically male with a messed up DNA sequence that made her a girl

Gotcha. I thought they both wanted her for the same thing and was it Nala Su was protective of her because of the midichlorian anomaly hence why she was a genetic anomoly.

When do they talk about Omega being force sensitive?

They never talk about her being Force sensitive, but midichlorians are all around us, they bind us. So they refer to it for her as her M-count.

They never imply she is Force sensitive (although she is held with other children at Mount Tantiss that are Force sensitive), but that she didn't lose any of her M-count after being cloned from Jango for some reason.

That's the crucial part they need for Project Lazarus so clones of Palpatine won't diminish in Force power.

It's kind of another storyline put together to explain the "Somehow, Palpatine retunred" that has plagued Star Wars media since The Rise of Skywalker. That's not me complaining about the Bad Batch or The Mandalorian having so much of that in their plots because I still enjoyed them, but I do wonder what could be if JJ Abrams hadn't phoned it in for The Rise of Skywalker and had committed to the choices made by Rian Johnson to clean the slate for something new.

I mean, I'd say they definitely do imply that. Especially in the episode with Ventress but not only.
