do you know what pisses me off the most about the bad batch (other than they bad writing and ableism)? I know for a fact that they can unwhitewash their clones. I know Disney can do it right. And do y’all know how I know?

That’s how I know. The model isn’t perfect, I know. Star Wars still refuses to make models with dark brown eyes for some bizarre reason I can’t understand. “oh but that’s rebels, TCW/TBB has a different style-” shut the fuck up. I know they can do better, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ANOTHER MODEL BASED OFF A MAN WHO HAS SIMILAR FEATURES TO TEMURA MORRISON.

that is Captain Typho, and his model is based off his actor Jay Laga’aia, who is Samoan. He still retains his soft features, dark skin, and wider nose, and he fits beautifully into TCW’s art style.

Disney has the ability to make it right. They choose not to.

As much praise as The Bad Batch is getting for improved writing and increased stakes, it's important to remember #UnwhitewashTBB and the valid critiques that fans of color and Jewish, disabled, and ND fans had about the series and the ways it's harmed them.

Frankly, fans' concerns over bigoted writing and portrayals should have been taken seriously and taken into account when writing + designing the second and third seasons.

In a perfect world, there never would have been whitewashing. There never would have been ableism and antisemitism, either. The creators would have seriously examined the Bad Batch from ALL angles, not just the ones that make the show fun or look good.

Unfortunately, the series has its glaring issues, and they were not corrected by the time the final season was set to air.

However, other creators in #StarWars can learn from this. They can examine their own unconscious biases and avoid, for instance, making a genius a white man with a British accent, while his brawns over brain counterpart can only be read as a man of color.

They can look into harmful tropes for the marginalized people they do want to represent and head in a different direction. They can change. They can improve. They can guarantee that when they say #StarWarsIsForEveryone, they mean it.

I can finally say that I have officially drawn Crosshair without him looking completely horrible 🤭

Wydm Crosshair doesn't have piercings?

Unwhitewashing Cross is basically impossible but I pushed through 🥱 (I am coming for you tech)

Criticism and/or tips are welcome but not full on hate <333

Time for your yearly fucking reminder: DO NOT WATCH THE BAD BATCH. It’s racism, ableism, antisemitism, whitewashing CENTRAL. The cast & crew KNOW about the boycott and have done nothing for years. I don’t care if they brought Ventress back—go read a fanfic, it’ll do her better, the writing’s always been ass. Don’t buy merch, don’t draw fanart, don’t make trailer gifs, DON’T WATCH THE SHOW.

@unwhitewashthebadbatch has very detailed breakdowns of everything wrong with the show if you want more info/sources

So ahead of the Bad Batch season 2 release, Brad Rau (the series director) has given an interview with Collider.

In this interview, he’s asked about Unwhitewash The Bad Batch and I want to take a moment to talk about his response. The interview snippet is below, and you can click the link to see the entire conversation:

Interviewer: Okay, okay. I also wanted to touch on something that comes up a lot in the Star Wars fandom. I know you're both on Twitter, so you may have seen it: "Unwhitewash The Bad Batch." I know that Season 2 was, I think, almost completely finished by the time Season 1 was already on our screens. So I'm curious to know if that's something you're going to address or at least acknowledge moving forward with seasons.

Rau: We listened to all the concerns of the fans. Interestingly, in Season 1, before Season 1 came out, we're always doing this, we went back to look at the skin tones, and we made some corrections to make sure that we're being true to the legacy of the clones in Clone Wars. Absolutely, 100%

-Collider, 'The Bad Batch' Season 2 Showrunners on Working With Dave Filoni and & Creating the Clones' Personalities

I have multiple problems with this response, and it’s implications. 

First, “We listened to all the concerns of the fans”. This is not evident now, nor has it been evident in the past. This interview is the first time we’re seeing a formal response to this issue. Saying you are listening, and showing you are listening, are two separate things. 

Second, “we went back to look at the skin tones”. Setting aside the fact that whitewashing is more than just skin tone, it’s evident that no one paid any attention to accurate skin tones for any characters. 

Besides the Clones, Kanan, Depa, and Fennec are all lighter than their original animated/live action counterparts. This skin tone lightening is a dismissal of the character’s and actor’s cultural and racial identity. 

Third, “we made some corrections to make sure that we're being true to the legacy of the clones in Clone Wars”. The Clone Trooper animation models in TCW are also heavily whitewashed. Going back and referencing whitewashed and inaccurate models does not allow for improvement, rather, it allows for a continuation of the original problem. 

Temuera Morrison is a Māori man. He plays Jango Fett, who is the Clone template. This means, all Clone Troopers should look like him. Temuera is the template, not outdated and whitewashed animation models. His round features, brown skin, dark eyes, and curly hair are the template.

This response from Brad Rau is not just inaccurate, but it’s disrespectful. It’s a blatant dismissal of issues while also implying they did the bare minimum when they really did nothing at all. 

This continued intentional ignorance and dismissal keeps proving that LucasArts does not care about taking responsibility for their actions, or providing accurate and respectful representation for People of Color.

💥Tech redesign/screenshot redraw💥

I have beef with the bad batch in general lol like they’re designs suck and I’ll say it. They’re ugly. And just want to redraw them how I see them in my head when I read the fan fic hehe. Why did they give him a receding hairline please. Give them their melanin and textured hair, thank you. Ya I tried to make him resemble tem more but be uniquely tech if that makes sense.

Commissions Open 💥 reblogs are appreciated ❤️

A lot of people ask us questions along the lines of "Why are you talking about this? Do you honestly think Disney will make these changes?" This is actually irrelevant to whether or not we talk about these issues.

Firstly, if no one is talking about whitewashing as an issue then Disney will have zero incentive to see it as wrong in the first place let alone change it.

Secondly, regardless of whether or not Disney listens to us and makes any changes, it's important for the people in the fandom to talk about and be aware of whitewashing and other racist issues in Star Wars so that fans of color know there are people here who listen to them.

super frustrating about the little changes to live action ahsoka’s lekku and the new armour for the bad batch and the addition of cody cos… it proves they can hear us. they do know what we want. but when it comes to unwhitewashing the clone models and specifically the bad batch??? too hard. they won’t do it
