Star Wars Is Wasting Its Newest Villain*
Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 2, episode 14
Star Wars is currently wasting its newest villain, though perhaps there's still hope for a stronger future. Introduced in Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 2, Doctor Royce Hemlock is a foreboding and sinister new Imperial leader actively working to bring about the demise of any surviving clones following the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire. However, the character deserves to be seen in a Star Wars project with more viewers (and in live-action).
Voiced by Westworld and It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia star Jimmi Simpson, Royce Hemlock is the chief scientist in charge of the Empire's clandestine Advanced Science Division. Operating out of a secret Imperial black site, Hemlock presents a calm analytical persona with a brutal sadistic streak. Having major ties to several other important characters and events in the Star Wars canon, Hemlock has already proven he needs to have a future beyond The Bad Batch.
Who Is Doctor Hemlock? The Bad Batch's New Star Wars Villain Explained ![]()
A scientist who was expelled from the Republic Science Corps for his "unauthorized and unorthodox experiments", Royce Hemlock was apparently reinstated once the Empire came to power and formed the secret Advanced Science Division. Operating out of a facility with zero records or data on its existence, Hemlock was in charge of several ongoing experiments such as the cloning of the deceased Zillo Beast who attacked Coruscant during the Clone Wars, desired by Emperor Palpatine due to its potential to be weaponized. However, Hemlock seemingly took great pleasure in experimenting on rogue clones who'd been questioning their loyalty to the Empire.
