Tbb S3 - Blog Posts

Oh, is it time for the pre-season 'the season is terrible' dreams? I had at least 3 before season 2. One was that the season was actually a board game.

I dreamed the first trailer for The Bad Batch s3 dropped and we found out they recast Dee Bradley Baker. Each bad batch member had a different voice actor and the characters sounded NOTHING like the previous seasons. It was so bad. I was genuinely so upset I considered not watching the last season. I was like "really you're gonna let us down THIS HARD on THE LAST SEASON"

THIS IS EVERYTHING (NOT CAUGHT UP AT ALL with S3 though I’m sorry). Omega and Grogu are my absolute favorite characters of all time and Cross is my favorite sibling for Omega!!!!

Omega and Crosshair 💖| Star Wars: The Bad Batch

He's shy.

I never thought that I would see this tsunderka shy.

why did they make him pose like That™️ 😭

Exactly. In other words, this scene is steeped in symbolism and small details. This... really cool.

I love the attention to detail. Two islands of light. Crosshair on one, the others on the other. They perfectly displayed the huge gap that was created in the first season by Cross. Now he needs to regain the trust of his brothers after almost a year of living apart. From now on, the arc of Crosshair's correction begins in the eyes of the rest of the squad, his rehabilitation begins now and it is not known how soon he will be able to become a full-fledged part of this family again. When they trust him again and accept him as their own.

Omega will most likely help him with this. She was generally a ray of light, a supportive sister who you want to protect. She's the only one who believed in Cross, who trusts him even after all this time. Now that her brother has stopped listening to his demons and has begun his redemption, she must help him become Clone 99 again.

I sincerely hope that his story will not end with his death, otherwise we have already lost one.

Watching the last episode left me with one HUGE question….

WHERE THE F*CK CODY????

Saw someone's post about Cody repainting his armor gray because of the loss of Obi Wan

Yes, the following may seem harsh to some, but that's my opinion.

Let's start with the fact that gray in Mandoloran language means mourning -> hence it's the sadness and pain of losing people dear to him, BUT it's not just Obi Wan and I even doubt Cody is more worried about him.

Cody lost many brothers during the war and afterward. His world came crashing down the moment of order 66. His brothers are thrown out like unwanted things from the military. They are nobodies in the eyes of others, just a used and broken thing to be thrown away.

He sees the chaos around him and the lawlessness that the Empire is doing on other planets under the false slogan of liberation. But back to his brothers: nobody needs them and the people who were able to protect them (Jedi) are "gone". There is no one to stand up for them and the army is already dominated by civilians rather than clones.

From episode 7 with Wolff, it becomes clear that according to the Empire's official documents, Rex is dead. Who will Cody be mourning for? Obi Wan? Most likely his younger brother, with whom they fought side by side throughout the war.

So, in my opinion, the gray colors on his armor signify mourning for his brothers, because they were the ones he loved, and they were the ones he lost. He lost those with whom he spent his childhood, training, war.

He was left alone with his pain and so the colors of the warm sunset became gray sadness.

I'm not really good at drawing kids because I've never drawn them, but they seemed to turn out okay.

In general, I'm glad that this lady was part of the story and not an extra, because she had a lot of contact with the central characters.

I felt sorry for the kids and I don't think I need to tell you how I yelled when I saw them as test subjects. All in all, I was tired, but basically satisfied with the work.

THIS EPISODE HAD ME STRESSED OUT OF MY FUCKING MIND😭💀

Grew a couple of grey hairs but yk !!✌️🤩 wtv !! im fine !!

THEY ARE ALL SO HOT. GOD. MOVE OVER RAMFART IT’S MY TURN.

AND FUCK YEAAA THEYRE GOING TO TANTISS!!! imagine Omega escapes before they siege the mountain tho. and so like. when they do go in she isn’t there. she’s gone. she’s made it out. but they don’t know that so they go in, guns a blazing, just for them to be informed that she isn’t there anymore. And like. They get captured. It all goes wrong.

And Omega doesn’t know.

She won’t know.

not for a very, very long time.

ANYWAY IM GOING TO BED GOOD NIGHT THIS EPISODE WAS SEXY

LET ME COOK

DO U GUYS

DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT MAYBE

JUST MAYBE

CROSSHAIR MIGHT KNOW THAT TECH IS AN OPERATIVE (SPECIFICALLY THE ONE HE WAS THROWING HANDS WITH)

OK LIKE HEAR ME OUT BUT

Crosshair definitely is STILL hiding something. The operatives make him MADLY uncomfortable- the sense of strange brotherhood between them scares him more than anything we’ve seen so far, maybe because, well, loyalty is a big deal to him, but also because one of them may actually be his brother.

He did not mention he was being put through operative✨ pre school ✨until Howzer pressed for answers, and he was forced to spill some beans. But I don’t think that’s all he’s keeping secret. Like, he wanted to keep the operative as FAR away from his brothers as possible(ie, drawing fire away, 1v1ing)- why? Could it just be he wants to deal with these clones on his own? Spare his brothers the fight? Protect them?

Or is it because he doesn’t want to traumatize them further with a brainwashed Tech? He doesn’t want their memory of their “dearly departed” brother to be marred by this…hollow, empty assassin before him. He can’t do that to them. But he *knows*, and it’s eating him alive.

There’s still so much he’s keeping from everyone, and not even Omega knows what he witnessed on Tantiss. He knows things, and he’s too afraid to admit them.

…..IDK THESE EPISODES KILLED ME MENTALLY THEY WERE SO GOOD BUT LEFT ME WITH SO MANY QUESTIONSSSSS AHHH

Plussss I wanna see more Hunter and wrecker content PLEASE my pookies need more screen time before I become a crosswhore AND Hunter girlie (one Star Wars man obsession is ENOUGH PLEASE).

ALSO THE THEORY THAT HUNTER DIES THIS SEASON IS KINDA STARTING TO FERMENT IN MY BRAIN BC WHY ELSE WOULD THEY ESTABLISH CROSSHAIR AS AN INCREASINGLY PARENTAL, DADDY MATERIAL GUY??? ESPECIALLY WITH HUNTER NOTICING OMEGA AND CROSS GROWING CLOSER I am ill do not let me think

I can see it now, Hunter sacrifices himself, but before he does, he tells Crosshair that “I know you’ll protect her. I trust you.” And then he fucking DIES, content with knowing Crosshair can be her newfound dad and protect her when he can no longer do so (I am in pain).

also when Hunter stood up for Crosshair >>>>> THATS MY MAN YALL HE WAS FR LIKE “ay man only I can shit on my brother man fuck off”

ALSO when Crosshair said “too bad” something changed in me (trying to resist crosswhore feelings)

There are two wolves inside of me (Hunter Wife (he’s the love of my LIFE) and Crosswhore) (actually three bc I’m also. A wrecker simp.)

SAVE ME SALT AND PEPPER HUNTER SAVE ME!!!!

Going into the last Bad Batch Eve like…

Really fucked up things that could happen in these last two episodes:

We never get wet haired Hunter.

We GET wet haired Hunter but it's either as he's fucking dying or he fucking dies immediately after

Tech stays dead

Tech is ALIVE and he's C2-X (or whatever the hell) but then gets fucking nerfed AGAIN while brainwashed

Crosshair sacrifices himself for his brothers and Omega when they didn't really bother with him for like all of Season 2 (I mean, aside from like maybe Wrecker and Omega who probably would've tried SOMETHING to bring him back)

Wrecker has to watch another one of his brothers die right in front of him AND is in a position where he could've maybe saved them but was unable to

Omega loses all of her brothers

They do another fucking timeskip at the very end of it and we get a parallel to "Victory and Death" with Omega being at their graves

Hemlock DOESN'T get eaten by the zillo beast :(

Show ends and that's it,, fucking we get nothing after that

have i ever mentioned how enjoyable it is seeing hunter beat people up

Just don’t leave me alone wondering where you are

I am stronger than you give me credit for

THIS

So many are concerned that Hunter is going to blame Crosshair. But the real problem is going to be Cross is going to blame himself.

No literally I want happy sunshine pabu back ✊️

let me just say that i am NOT liking this lighting on pabu

“Who? Who??” Maybe Cross is more owl coded than vulture coded after all

The Bad Batch - Season 3, so far

Spoilers Ahead!

Hey you guys, I'm back! So before I hop into any discussion, just a quick debrief on what's going on for me in regards to tbb: I've been trying to control my excitement and hope for this final season, as I don't want to set myself up for anymore emotional damage (it'll happen anyways). That's not to say I'm not excited or hopeful, but I'm just very nervous and still healing from the heartbreak of you-know-what.

Onto this season so far. A very strong start with the first three episodes (haven't watch ep 4 yet). They wasted no time getting right into it and I'm honestly surprised that Cross and Omega escaped as fast as they did. I'm glad they didn't waste too much time on their escape. I will say though, things are feeling sadder than ever, with so many characters out of the picture. Echo is with Rex, Tech is...well I'm not too sure, to be completely honest (more on this in a min), and Cid backstabbed the gang. All I can say is that I anticipate more sadness but I'm cautiously optimistic for a mostly happy/good ending.

okay, now onto the elephant in the room. my previous theory post of Tech being alive and having a Winter Soldier situation is looking to be more real by the day and that makes me deeply uncomfortable. It was just a theory (a game theory) I made up, albeit using my English degree to hyper analyze the story, but sometimes (most times) my big brain is a burden. I honestly don't know what's worse: Tech dying, or Tech surviving and becoming something horrible (probably the second). Which brings me to this random ah dude:

There is actually no logical reason for this dude to be shown 3 separate times in an episode for it to not be important later. He also stands with the sass of our beloved engineer, not to mention his helmet and outfit contains small stylistic callbacks to Tech's armour (maybe I'm just delusional though). Which makes me violently ill, to say the least.

Anyways, whatever happens, we're all in this together besties. God speed

Well I could have told you that.

FIREBALL MY BELOVED

HIS FACE! WE FINALLY GET TO SEE HIS FACE!

Just in kriffing time, too; I was about to get a detail massively wrong in next week's SBN chapter 💀

I don't think enough people are talking about this line.
