Okay but the thing is, I actually think the Crosshair’s shadow thing works really well, but it’s in this really specific way where CX-2 is Tech and the shadow is Crosshair’s guilt.
#because crosshair as he could have been doesn’t work#because we saw that#it was season one#but if it’s Tech#then yeah we know crosshair feels guilty about that#he says as much in the finale#staying with the empire lead to Tantiss#Tantiss lead to sending that message#the message sent Tech to Eriadu#Tech gets some of that vulture imagery as he’s falling (the part in the clouds that looks like black wings)#the vulture is reintroduced in season three with a changed context (Crosshair’s shadow instead of survival and freedom)#(‘Are you going to be my shadow everywhere?’ which reads like he’s saying it to the vulture before Hunter walks in)#and then you’ve got CX-2 losing his goddamn mind when Crosshair tries to fight him#and throwing the whole mission away#‘You had your chance to be one of us. You chose the wrong side!’#if that’s Tech that line hits so much harder#because then it’s Tech calling Crosshair out for his one big mistake#staying with the empire after Kamino#a mistake which lead Tech to where he is in that moment#and ah you say but it turned out CX-2 wasn’t Tech#hmmmm did it though?#the thing is we don’t actually get a reveal at all#and CX-2 had two other fakeout deaths (and a few honorable mentions) before maybe getting impaled#(a guy with a mask is easy to hide)#(though I actually like ‘impalement helped’ and CX-2 having to ‘die’ so Tech can start living again)#but the thing is#this ONLY works if you reveal that’s Tech#which they don’t do even though it would have taken two seconds to take the mask off#otherwise it’s very thematically confused#which is one of the many reasons I just think we haven’t gotten there yet
