RELATED: The Bad Batch Reveals Clone Force 99's Birthplace - and Raises More QuestionsĪccording to Legends stories, the Kaminoans protested the Empire's reign by forming an army of clones specifically created to fight against Imperial forces. This differs from Kamino's fate in Legends, a planet-wide financial and moral decline that took decades to unfold. However, following the end of The Clone Wars, the planet's fate has now diverged between the two distinct Star Wars universe timelines. In The Bad Batch, Imperial forces fired directly on the cloning facility after evacuating most personnel while the rest of the planet seemed to remain intact. It's the safe haven Jango and Boba Fett once called home: the birthplace of the armed forces that would eventually turn on the Jedi generals they had once sworn loyalty to. In both canon and Legends, Kamino has always been the dark, dreary enigma fans were first introduced to in Attack of the Clones. In Star Wars Legends, Kamino suffered from the Galactic Empire's takeover in a much more devastating manner. However, things could have ended much worse for the planet in this episode. Things took an even darker turn near the end of Season 1 when the show depicted the destruction of Tipoca City, home of Kamino's primary cloning facility and the place Omega and her brothers, Clone Force 99, were created. Star Wars: The Bad Batch began with Order 66, one of the most sinister moments in Star Wars lore, and hasn't shied away from showing how quickly the Galactic Empire leaned into its evil desires. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 1, Episode 15, “ Return to Kamino,” streaming now on Disney+.
