Like, okay, here's the thing.

We spend an entire sequence with Phee on a random moon where CX-2 sneaks onto her ship, steals data, stares at her, then sneaks off. None of that scene was necessary, at all. It could have been handled in his conversation with Hemlock the same way the interaction with Cid was.

It wasn't. We see Phee's ship for the first time, we listen to her argue with Mel, we see her have a security measure that CX-2 actually trips (to his obvious annoyance), watch her realize CX-2 is there (though she doesn't catch him). And then rather than leave, he stays to watch her go.

This whole scene is over 3 minutes. That's a big piece when the entire episode is 20m long. Why is this here?

It's not because CX-2 is no one. If he was, this scene wouldn't be here.

Remember my earlier post about how if Tech wasn’t CX-2 the writers played a cruel joke on all of us? Well, at that point I wasn’t completely certain they could be that cruel.

Now I am.

I’ve seen some other people say that they just made CX-2 out to be exactly like Tech because they wanted to keep the Tech fans coming back to watch season 3, even though they (the writers) knew they weren’t bringing him back.

That’s a pretty screwed up thing to do to us all. Shame on them.

I want them back ❀

I couldn’t agree more!

I try not to write negative posts, but. . . man, TBB Season 3 has brought out the worst in me. I waited (hopeful, eager, naïve) an entire year just to be disappointed. Joy.

So. . . @techsbrowneyes expressed concern that they (they being the writers) made CX-2 resemble Tech in every possible way on purpose just to spark hope amongst Tech fans and keep them coming back. If this is indeed the case, then. . . shame on the writers! How cruel can you be?

This post isn’t to say CX-2 isn’t Tech. There’s still a good possibility—albeit a very, very slim one—that Tech is still alive. But. . . my hope is fast dwindling. Hope used to be a major theme in Star Wars. What happened to that? This season is far from hopeful. Far. It’s been nothing but dark and depressing and. . . dare I say. . . meaningless. It feels like we’ve been going around in circles.

TBB season 3 is inferior compared with its predecessors. Those seasons are masterpieces. This one? Not so much. And it isn’t just because Tech is gone. No. . . Echo has scarcely been in it. Hunter and Wrecker have taken a backseat. Hunter seems to be severely detached; it’s like he doesn’t really care anymore (I miss the old Hunter). Each time Tech is brought up, they act like he never mattered to them. I mean, c’mon! Show a little emotion.

This season hasn’t been very fulfilling. No longer do I look forward to episodes. I’ll watch the remaining episodes, but if the finale doesn’t end well, I may never watch season 3 again. I’ll continue to bask in the glory that is season 1 and 2, and the Bad Batch episodes from season 7 of the Clone Wars, but that’s it.

I was so looking forward to TBB seaon 3. Should I hope that the last episodes will be any good? Probably not. Nevertheless, I will, because hope is all I have left right now, and that’s what Star Wars is built on, right?

Manifesting.

I just want a happy ending, PLEASE.

(Also Echo isnt here because he and Rex are just off screen happy that one more clone could be saved)

(Also Also, I just couldn't see him willingly hug anyone, besides Omega. I dont really see Hunter and Cross doing that either, but Tech was their Batchmate, so I'd imagine they would make an exception.)

Crosshair and Hunter in The Bad Batch 3.06 & 3.07

[sgthunter001]

My sentiments exactly.

Not gonna lie I really miss Hunter in his season 1 original look. He’s still gorgeous but him in black and red hits different 👀

[sgthunter001]

Here’s a little something of Hunter, because season 3 has left me feeling deprived of seeing him. 💔

If Clone X-2 isn’t Tech, then the writers are playing a cruel joke on us. You can’t tell me all the similarities/parallels aren’t intentional.

-“Why have I been activated?” (Pretty sure these guys aren’t programmed to question why they’re being sent on a mission.)

-CX-2 has fancy gadgets/tech that the other assassins didn’t. (The thing on his arm = Data Pad 2.0)

-His speech patterns are similar to Tech’s—he definitely doesn’t sound like a reg.

-He’s clearly very intelligent, thinks outside the box, and is adept at improvising.

-After having a ton of rocks dumped on him, he begins limping on the same leg as Tech’s broken femur.

-His grunt sounds exactly like Tech’s.

-He blatantly disobeys orders.

-He‘s fallen from a significant height twice.

-When he crawls out of the water in 3x07, the scene and his animation are identical to when Tech crawls out of the water in 2x09.

I’m not going to outright say it’s Tech, but if it’s not, then someone went out of their way to lead us all astray. For those of us who desperately want Tech to be alive, it’s a cruel way of getting our hopes up only to let us down.

TBB writers while planning season 3’s emotional trauma:

“I’ve got an idea. Let’s add insult to injury and blow up the Marauder.”

To say I’m not looking forward to this moment would be an understatement…
