Dr. Pershing is tricked into taking Elia to a temporary lab aboard a former Imperial ship to get all the supplies he needs to do more cloning research, before Elia essentially turns face and rats him out. And then, well, she uses her power (seemingly as an Amnesty Officer for the same program on Coruscant) to have Dr.
Manipulate then betray Dr Pershing and erase his memory to prevent the secrets of Moff Gideon's cloning project from being exposed to the wider galaxy (succeeded).
Kane survived the battle and was captured by the New Republic, and integrated into the New Republic Amnesty Program. However, she remained devoted to the cause of the Empire, and secretly continued to take directions from her superior, Moff Gideon.
However, Dr. Pershing had his own goals. Since he was introduced, fans have assumed that Pershing was trying to use Grogu to practice cloning Force-sensitive individuals.
Doctor Penn Pershing was forced to go through a mental recalibration using lower voltages, an experimental process thought to help soothe traumatic memories to help one overcome Imperial indoctrination. However, this process was sabotaged by Elia Kane, who increased the voltage to its maximum.
Pershing is dead, his answer strongly suggests that he had Pershing killed after plotting to get the doctor arrested by the New Republic. Moff Gideon's power and influence in this post-Empire galaxy cannot be ignored, even in sectors where the New Republic is present.
With a mind-wiped doctor in her hands, Kane might be able to use Pershing to further her own/the Empire's interests and potentially start back up the program working toward a perfect Palpatine clone.
Snoke was an entirely new being made from scratch, and Dr. Pershing explained what ingredients went into Snoke. They took the “best” genetic code of multiple individuals and made something new.
Elia Kane, designated as TK-2755 under the First Galactic Empire and Amnesty Officer G68 under the New Galactic Republic, was a Human clone of the Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Jango Fett. As one of the very last of the Fett clones, she was highly loyal to the First Galactic Empire.
Kane's goal appears to be not helping Pershing finish his research, but to ensure that his work doesn't fall into the hands of the New Republic (not that they seemed eager to take advantage of that asset). If Gideon can't have Pershing's mind, no one can.
Description: Elia Kane, designated TK-2755 under the Galactic Empire and as Amnesty Officer G68 under the New Republic, was a human female officer who served in a Galactic Empire and later one of its remnants led by Moff Gideon as a comms officer and later a spy.
Actress Gina Carano on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Co. over her 2021 firing from the series "The Mandalorian."
Elia Kane was part of this program and befriended Dr. Pershing through this program, but it was all a trick. She was working as a spy for the New Republic, looking out for Ex-Imperials who were relapsing, but more importantly, she was still a spy for Moff Gideon.
Season 3 episode 5 of The Mandalorian saw the return of Elia Kane (Katy M O'Brian) - and clearly not all is as it seems. The character, who was previously part of Moff Gideon's crew, appears to be hiding something while working for the New Republic.
According to The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary (2019), Snoke's physical appearance was purposefully designed by Palpatine to ensure his species remained unidentifiable. Furthermore, Snoke's reluctance to meet in person with his First Order underlings helped conceal the fact that he was an artificial being.
Dr. Pershing would show up again after Din dropped Grogu off following the bounty, a decision Din would later change his mind on. Pershing was drawing Grogu's blood for experiments, and Din came back and saved him, killing others but sparing Dr.
Snoke and his many copies were not a clone of any known individual the way the Clone Army soldiers were modified copies of Jango Fett. Nor was he a one-for-one recreation of a previous body like Palpatine's clone body. Snoke was an entirely new being made from scratch, and Dr.
Over the course of The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3, she manipulated Dr. Pershing into trusting her, and then framed him for succumbing to Imperial programming. This made sure he would end up being subject to a deconditioning process she could manipulate, flaying his mind.
After goading Dune about the destruction of Alderaan, she shot and killed the pilot. Pershing's ear was grazed by the blaster bolt, leaving a partial hole.
This implies that he works among the ranks of the Kaminoan cloning scientists during The Bad Batch. Dr. Pershing is shown to be a very talented cloning scientist in The Mandalorian, though his work was considered to be dangerous and borderline a war crime within the New Republic.
Elia Kane, played by Katy M. O'Brian, is a character we've known little about throughout her scant appearances on "The Mandalorian." We knew she was an Imperial, and we knew she worked for Moff Gideon, but that's about it.
