Fox drew the short straw.

Everything's changing... It is a fundamental part of life. ...but we have to adapt and move on. Even though it can be difficult to understand, we must carry on. I may process moments and thoughts differently, but it does not mean that I feel any less than you.

We have to respect his decision.

Look at his eyes.

We all damn well know he calculated the odds of his survival in that moment. He calculated them and he knew, and he still did not hesitate.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO PLAN 88?!" - Crosshair probably.

Fr tho after everything Crosshair did to alert his brothers, for him to wake up and see Omega he's gonna go apeshit.

Made this after seeing this tweet cause I need to cope somehow ahaaa

Let's get into this "Tech is dead" thing...

Until someone from the show confirms that Tech is dead, I don't believe it. We've seen this before. Echo died in an explosion. Nope. Ahsoka fell when she dueled Vader. That didn't stick. Maul, Palpatine, Leia, Mace Windu...okay, that last one is still in the air. But my point is that we never saw a body. Face it. If they wanted Tech dead, they would have given him a shoulder wound. I lost track of how many times that proved fatal this season.

For starters, it would be a very bad move! Tech was probably the most loved character on the show even before they further developed his character this season. To remove him from the show would deprive a lot of people of someone who gives them a feeling of true representation in Star Wars.

Then there's Phee. That last "conversation" she tried to have with him was awkward and very specific. They animated him in such a way that he was obviously avoiding eye contact. He was uncomfortable. He didn't want to say goodbye. I don't think he knew how. It looked to me like they were setting us up for a reunion scene.

Now let's talk about Hemlock. Him being in possession of Tech's goggles is another reason I think he's alive. When he held out the goggles and said, "I'm afraid this is all I could salvage," it suggested to me that Hemlock has him. It doubly struck me since he had just used the term "fascinating" in the same spirit of scientific curiosity Tech had used earlier in the season with the Zillo Beast. The only way I can see Tech being alive but not captured in this scenario would be if there is a raging river or deep crevasse beneath the train and all they found nearby was the goggles. (Which means that, if he is alive, we will finally get that goggleless Tech we've been wanting to see so badly all this time.)

Let's not forget the most important thing of all. Tech is an incredibly capable soldier. He is resourceful, exceptionally well-trained, and was fully kitted-out when he fell. It's not hard for me to imagine him using a grappling hook and cable or other means to keep from falling to his death. He said it himself. He has the "ability to think clearly in stressful situations". And if Hemlock has him, he's going to need it.

All this gives me great hope for season three. If Hemlock does have Tech, he would have him transferred to Mt. Tantiss on Weyland. Now, Crosshair and Tech are together with other no-longer-Imperial clones. Omega is there with Nala Se, who wants Omega as far from there as possible. Nala Se is no longer in a cell, but working in a lab—under guard, but with access to equipment. Factor in Omega's clone sister and this has all the earmarks of an epic escape episode.

Fingers crossed.

Still processing the Tech stuff, but this tidbit won’t leave my brain so I have to post it.

Echo doesn’t enjoy solitude. Yet here is he is, choosing to be alone so he can grieve yet another fallen brother. I’m sick.

also the fact that rex was still with her on Naboo and they still had the Y wing and how that means they went straight there and Ahsoka probably thought Padme could help them and they would be safe there and maybe she would have answers and a hug only to get there and see the entire planet turned out for her FUNERAL. I AM UNWELL

Something I love about episode 4 of Tales of the Jedi:

I absolutely adore how they handled Yaddle and Dooku’s duel. We saw Dooku’s slow fall into darkness over three episodes, and it came not from a hunger for power, but endless grief, endless helplessness - the corruption of the senate, the perceived inadequacy of the Council, the death of his surrogate son.

Yaddle almost gets through to him. He says I’m afraid, because he has betrayed so much of himself already to protect what he knows is important, and this is him killing one last part of himself - the part of him that would have balked at killing another Jedi.

But the thing that finally completes his fall? The thing that makes him look down into the abyss that is the Darkness and say yes, I want this?

Yaddle says, “Qui-Gon did not have to die.”

And Dooku’s grief takes him.

His fear and grief becomes anger, and his anger turns to hate. Because he cannot let Qui-Gon go; in this moment he becomes so twisted from his grief and Palpatine’s words that Dooku directs all of his hate to the Council and to Yaddle instead of the Sith standing behind him that ordered the death of his son.

Dooku turned for many things. He turned because of the Republic, because of the Senate and the corruption there, but the last straw that made him a Sith was the death of his son.

There was never a more brilliant portrayal of the lies of the Sith and how it preys on grief and attachment as it does here.

The cinematic antithesis of this is just so good

Someone on the Sandman subreddit said there are stars on the lining of Dream’s coat so I had to see for myself. This is from Episode 2, "Imperfect Hosts":

And here's a freeze frame:

But that's not all. Let's slow it down.

Someone else on the thread pointed out the stars are not exactly moving in tandem with the coat's fabric. It means those are not just star prints; there are actual starry skies within Dream's coat! That is so beautiful and romantic. The amount of details in this show is incredible.
