This article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" season 3: "Confined," "Paths Unknown," and "Shadows of Tantiss."
In Billy Wilder's 1960 Best Picture winner "The Apartment," he was able to imbue a simple, cracked compact mirror with so much meaning that merely the sight of it at the right time told a story. I interviewed Rian Johnson once and we talked about how important it is to have symbols help tell the story. "I think the compact is the best example, and yes, that's solid gold whenever you can find that," said Johnson. "Whenever you can have a major emotional impact come from something that seems incidental when you first introduce it, that's the gold in the hills that you're digging for."
It's something that's very much on the mind of every writer, and the writers of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" are no different.

Spoilers for "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" season 3 premiere, episodes 1-3 "Confined," "Paths Unknown," and "Shadows of Tantiss," follow.
With the three-episode third season premiere of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch," the creative team behind the show is doubling down on its connections to the rest of the "Star Wars" saga and connecting directly into the ninth installment of the Skywalker story.
In these episodes, we finally learn why the Empire so desperately needs the Omega — a female clone of Jango Fett — and it's not just to keep her Kaminoan handlers working effectively. There's a darker, more sinister reason for it and it threads effectively through the storyline of "The Mandalorian" and terminates in the revelations we get about the survival of Darth Sidious in "The Rise of Skywalker."
A lot of it comes down to two things: an M-count and something called Project Necromancer.
