The Bad Batch - Season 2 trailer

All my star wars bitches raise your hand if you need more pretty Cody art

"And when you sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies" may actually be the best line of Taylor's career for how it combines deep personal meaning, metaphor, and emotional vocal delivery to pack the most poignant punch

love how in trb adam’s narration is like “yeah, we’re all fucking losers, gansey takes pity on us because we’re fucking losers, we’re all a bunch of useless solitary dipshits brought together by the Furious Sun That Is Gansey, i can’t believe how popular and perfect gansey is, god among men, beautiful stunning intelligent creature who’s going places, that’s how i KNOW he’s good bc he could have ANYONE and instead he stoops to take pity on our lowly selves,”

then gansey’s narration is all like “i have not slept in four days and i’ve forgotten what a vegetable is. i tried to have a conversation with a stranger but i could hear people getting annoyed with me. i have a disease called Why Don’t I Shut The Fuck Up Ever oh god i can’t believe all of my friends have everything going for them and somehow still put up with my needy transparently neurotic panicking out-of-touch weirdo ass”

i. love them

dru: do you have a crush on anyone?

kit: the only crush i have is this crushing anxiety.

dru:

kit: also ty.

the hill I will die on is that the most tragic story in star wars is the clones' story

Bad Batch episode three Cody rant-

yes, Cody DID learn a lot from Obi-Wan, such as how to negotiate properly, but i think it’s also important to recognize that that’s just who Cody is and who he always has been.

Cody has ALWAYS been undeniably kind and has ALWAYS had a good sense of right and wrong. this is why he’s universally loved by every single clone we see- the Batch who hated regs loved him from the start, including Crosshair. every battalion we saw him interact with has always had a DEEP respect for him because he is, fundamentally, a GOOD person. he’s one of the best people we see in all of Star Wars.

that’s not something he learned from Obi-Wan. thats just who he is. and i think that’s something Obi-Wan really loved about him.

Cody is to the bone a kind and caring person. he is extremely loyal to those he loves and there is nothing that matters more to him than those he considers his family- that’s why he was calling his troops by their name, even when no one else was. that’s why he was genuinely distraught when Nova died, and had to be bodily pulled away from him even thought his own life was at risk. that’s why he was kind to Crosshair even though no one else was willing to even sit with him.

Cody is his own person, just as Obi-Wan is his own person, and while they absolutely have a lot of similar traits, those aren’t things they gained from each other.

Cody didn’t suddenly start being kind because Obi-Wan taught him that- we know he’s been like that since he was taking Rex under his wing on Kamino, and did the same with every other troop he encountered. he’s just an intrinsically caring and deeply kind brother. he didn’t decide to start vying for peace because he thinks Obi-Wan is dead. Cody’s ALWAYS been a fair person tries to hear everyone out. that is just who he inherently is, just as that’s who Obi-Wan inherently is, and that is the reason they love each other so much.

i think the reason this episode was so good at showing just how good of a person Cody is comes from the fact that he is alone. he is entirely in command. there is no Obi-Wan there, there’s no one he has to listen to, he is the sole commander here. and yet, even at the pressure of his superior officer, he doesn’t loose his morals at all, and consistently shows how kind and sweet he is. he isn’t doing that because of Obi-Wan, he’s doing that because it’s who he is, even with the inhibitor chip.

of COURSE he would question the Empire and leave as soon as the chip started wearing off, and of COURSE he’d carry the guilt of Order 66 squarely on his shoulders. he is a great example of someone who knows right from wrong and people who ever questioned him don’t understand his character at ALL.

Im begging you do not kill him off—

Cody going AWOL on the Empire and then going AWOL on us...
