The Bad Batch - SPOILERS

Is eye colour 100% hereditary? My brothers don't have the same coloured eyes as me.

Not sure if you are serious or sarcastic.
Of course it is hereditary. It's a recessive gene. It can skip one generation. You have to look at maternal and paternal grand parents.

The sarcasm isn't necessary.

So, if my brother's eyes are a different colour to mine, does my clone's eyes have to be the same colour to mine?

I admire your ability to skip generations!

LOL !!! I slip slide my way back and forth generations during the weekends when I don't have to work.

A clone would have the same eye colour, unless someone introduced a variation in the genetic code.

Not necessarily.

So as we have learned more about genetics in the last 10 years, more and more we are learning that its not just the "blueprint" that makes the body. The expression of genes is very important, and environment can change those genetic expressions. Aka genetics = traits isn't as cut and dry as we used to think.

So would a clone have the same color, the vast majority of the time yes. But there could be environment factors that might change the shade or tone, xyz. Unlikely to turn brown to blue, but perhaps dark brown to light, etc.

Are you identical triplets? If yes, you will have the same eye colour. Otherwise, there is no reason to expect your siblings to have the same eye colour.

A clone will have the same eye colour*, unless it is deliberately altered. Which would be less straightforward than altering the gender.


*As @Stalker0 points out, within minor variations caused by environmental factors.

episode 2 was a step back from episode 1. Great that we see familiar faces but it will be mostly forgetable

 

[Zardnaar]

VO actors are generally expected to play multiple parts, and therefore have a bunch of "off-the-shelf" accents they use. You wouldn't normally expect them to use their own accent.

My wife picked Omegas kiwi accent and she was in Outrageous Fortune an NZ TV show.

Some interesting stuff in episode 3, but all of it back on Kamino. The supposed "A" plot with the Bad Batch was rather plodding and uninspired.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Crosshair. He's set up as the villain, but has little say in his own actions.

The Kaminoans seem to have a lot riding on whatever their new-and-improved-clones scheme is, which presumably involves Omega, but she continues to display no particular talents aside from standard Star Wars protagonist-kid precociousness.

I notice Omega still conspicuously didn't use the Force.

He isn't, he is the damsel in need of rescuing.
