Corrected entry: Wallace is obsessed with obtaining the secret to making replicants able to procreate so he can dramatically increase production of replicants. Given he is depicted as already able to produce them in an adult form and can implant memories of events and skills, this doesn't make any sense. Apparently his process is so slow, inefficient and expensive that it would be more effective to raise and educate infant replicants into adulthood than it would be to make them as he currently does - but he also claims to have created millions of replicants who are widely used for cheap labor and who were disposable enough that he stabbed one to death to prove a point.

Continuity mistake: When Luv returns to the sinking car to retrieve Deckard, and K enters and grabs Luv by the neck, Deckard's hair is wet, but visibly smooth, however, in the next shot, his hair is suddenly ruffled. (02:24:10)
Rick Deckard: I had your job once - I was good at it.
K: Things were simpler then.
Trivia: Sir Roger Deakins won the Oscar for Best Cinematography for his work on the film. It was Deakins' first Oscar after 13 previous nominations.
Question: Why did Niander Wallace kill the female replicant right after creating her? I get that he's crazy, but was there any other reason?
Answer: Think of any manufacturing process. Samples of new products are frequently created and then immediately destroyed. Also, the new replicant would require processing, training, etc. It was simpler for him to just dispose of the test.
Answer: He was being violently petulant at the moment, angry that he couldn't create and control the birth that he just learned occurred with older-model replicants and seeing his new creation as "flawed" by design. Pretty villainous, he cares nothing for the replicants.

Correction: Wallace is limited by the finite resources to artificially produce replicants on the dying Earth. Being able to produce replicants through biological reproduction would effectively allow him to create replicants from nothing, just as humans are created. Being able to create replicants without expending any resources would allow production to explode, leading to Wallace's ultimate goal of further expanding colonization.
