#bad batch theory

how much do you want to bet that these flowers will be placed on one of her brother’s graves in the end

and what if, instead of a bunch of pink ones, there are dozens of pure white ones

*me grabbing crosshair by his shoulders and yelling in his face* YOU BETTER NOT D!3 IN THE FINAL EPISODE DO YOU UNDERSTAND

"You had your chance to be one of us! And you chose the wrong side!" The only reason I believe one of the clone assassin is Tech.

My pens, which I thought were water resistant, and I thought I could knock this out quickly were derailed when my pen was not waterproof, and that my brown ink was not so much brown as chardonnay, and I had to use lesser supplies.

Within the text, the evidence that Tech is Clone X2 is not there; "domicile" is not proof. I did research to prove why "evidence" about stances is not true. I think there is other storytelling evidence that Tech is alive. Plus, this franchise has broken my heart before, so I will refrain from being too optimistic.

Ya’ll HEAR ME OUT

So I’ve been thinking a lot about what Hemlock said to the Emperor about other experiments he’s been doing, like larger assets and “exotic testing,” which got me thinking…

What if they’re cloning or trying to understand the Geonosian Brain Worms from Season 2 of the Clone Wars? Imagine using them to control these clone prisoners and create an army of mindless drones like Clone X. What if that’s how he’s controlling these guys?

Just let me cook I swear everyone, I am on to something.

BAD BATCH S3 TRAILER SPOILERS AS WELL AS S2 SPOILERS :^]

ITS FUCKING CROSSHAIR

Oh yeah it's theory time babyyyy

**I'm gonna focus on episode titles "The return", "identity crisis" and "Point of no return" so here we go!**

I was rewatching the bad batch s3 trailer when I noticed a few things, more notably the background here:

That's Pabu, note the large mountain- but how could the empire find it? It's simple. They didn't. Episode 5: The return hints that we see an old friend or enemy, my guess is that it's tech. Hemlock saying that the goggles were all he could salvage must have been a lie. He **stole** Tech's body and has done something to it, leading to his "identity crisis" (episode 10). Back to talking about Pabu though- How did they find it? Tech did. Tech's brain is being used similar to that of Echo's for information, but with the host body (Tech) being used by a false identity forged by Hemlock as an experiment. This is why he's past the "Point of no return", he's trapped inside his mind like a virus that's taken hostage of the body; he's stuck and he needs CF99 to set him free again. I've seen people say that the person in the front is Crosshair, but he's being held captive on whatsitcalled so it can't be him.

bad batch theory

ok listen, I haven’t even finished episode 1 of season 3 yet. BUT IS OMEGA FORCE SENSITIVE????? I mean Lama Su keeps throwing away her blood sample! Is it because she has a high midi-chlorian count? And we all know that Palpatine is trying to have a clone of himself that has the force! And Lama Su is working for Palpatine to create that clone! So is it possible that Lama Su is trying to protect Omega? I mean who knows what would happen to her if the Empire found out she was a force sensitive clone! Bad stuff probably. Anyways Omega is force sensitive. You can’t change my mind.

I did this before but I couldent edit it so ima just re write it:

Why tech did/should have survived the fall:

1. He apparently had THRUSTERS on his backpack which probably wouldn't be enough to fly him away but enough to soften the landing

2. Killing your autistic character in the season you confirm him to be autistic AND in autism acceptance month is pretty stupid and usually star wars writers aren't stupid

3. We have seen people survive worst like darth maul (who also fell from a great hight), echo, fennnic, palpatine, the list goes on.

4. High chance he just fell in some water or broke his fall on a tree

5. The whole phee and tech goodbye scene seemed unfinished on purpose like its gonna be continued and the camera seemed to zoom into techs face for way to long.

5. Tech also had a grappling hook and/or many gagites in his backpack that could help him

6. Hunter also fell from a hight like that was came out unscaved "oh but he had a knife" tech probably dose to or like a screwdriver he could use

7. Dave filoni doesn't do things on purpose. Most detailes aren't just for nothing which leads me into my next point.

8. Techs dealth seemed strangely ambiguous. Like with most star wars dealth we see usually end up engolfed in flames or we see some sort of a body but with tech, he just falls into the abiss with no indication of an actual dealth except for the googles (which could hounistly be hemlock lying)

9. Now the googles are interesting since tech records everything and hemlock gave hunter his googles, we can safely assume that some where there is some hard drive that could show tech surviving.

10. He is a trained solder and most military programes teach solders about how to survive a free fall and no doubt would shaak ti do the same.

11. Tech is undoubtedly one of the smartest people in the galaxy, he probably could cuclate the best way of survival while in the sky

12. Hemlock would obviously benefit greatly if tech worked for him, and since he recovered tech or what was left of him we can assume he would do some cool evil scientist experiments and turn him half cyborg

13. Denial

14. Even if he dosent show up in s3 I am certain (more of hoping) that tech will come back in another show since they left his dealth so open ended they could eseyly bring him back and no one would bate an eye.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but….

Shit’s not going to work out in the Bad Batch’s favor. I’m pretty confident that none of them are going to make it out alive (save maybe Omega who may or may not have plot armor, but what happens to her probably won’t be great either).

My theory is that the clones (Rex and crew) will stage a very short-lived attempt at a rebellion against the Empire, and will lose their ass. They’re ultimately going to be pushed into exile where we find them in season 2 of Rebels. It’s not going to take long to squash them, I feel. We’ll see, I guess. Not optimistic though. Their chances are grim.

OR tech is CX-2 and lula does in fact symbolize omega and how she’ll be the next one to undergo brainwashing so she’s easier for the empire to work with and there’s no more escape attempts, seeing as the empire needs her for project necromancer

Star Wars The Bad Batch: Mild Spoiler

What if Tech really is dead (pls god no) and the significance of putting Lula with Tech's goggles is foreshadowing Wreckers' death (pls for the love of all no)

I know that Lula has become a symbol for Omega but just please no

[local-cryptid]

i actually started this a couple weeks ago but with the latest episodes i felt the need to finish it

[smolbean-17]

Hemlock might use the Batch’s enhancements against them

Early reviewers are saying that Hemlock is the absolute worst these next few episodes, and I think I might know one of the reasons why.

We’ve seen no evidence of Hemlock having any sort of physical prowess, but he’s incredibly smart. And he’s probably planning to face-off with the Batch to get Omega back.

He likely knows everything there is to know about the boys, he’s probably read their files. He knows what they can do and what their weaknesses are. This is made clear when he reveals he knows about Hunter’s advanced senses in the season 2 finale.

Think back to The Outpost, when Crosshair is blinded by the flash of the explosion. It hurt and debilitated him for several moments. That was the first time we were shown any possible downsides to the Batch’s enhancements.

I don’t think that was just a one-off situation.

If Hemlock himself goes to Pabu, he won’t pull any punches. He’ll expect retaliation from the Batch. He’ll be ready.

He’ll blind Crosshair, incapacitate Wrecker’s strength, and do something (maybe with electricity?) to debilitate or harm Hunter’s senses.

Tech was the only one of them who didn’t have a physical enhancement. (Tech would also know about his brother’s weaknesses, but I don’t want to think about the implications on if Hemlock got his info that way)

We’ve also seen Hemlock recognizing that Omega is more willing to comply if her brothers are put in harms way.

It will be the perfect way to control her.

[i-dont-know-how-this-site-works]

It's the domicilegate

[last-of-cheese]

Ya know someone made the theory that CX is Dogma and honestly like I'm kinda hoping for that outcome.

Like as much as I want it to be Tech I feel every bit of this. With this being the final season I just CANNOT handle if it is Tech and revealed now. Or even if he's killed and then it's shown that he's Tech. Like please for the love of fuck make it Soup clone or Dogma.

Like I'm high key riding the Dogma train because it would kick my feels in just the right amount, but also be a good throwback.

But for me personally fuck Cid. I hope some of the off screen time for Echo was him going back to Ord Mantell and fuckin her shit up.

two things i never thought i would say:

I hope Tech stays dead because if he comes back now its just way to little time to make it work. And also of they bring him back last Episode to be idk tragically murderd by his bros this series will be genuinely ruined for me.

I miss Cid and i would have liked to see her a) have a redemption arc or b) have to deal with the consequences of her betrayal. She was set up during season 2 to "grow" (at least in my opinion) and that betrayal was in character and it would have been perfect for conflict

[luxris]

cx-2.

+ bonus version with empire style goggles !!

[vivaislenska]

The say it feels good to be bad. But CX-2 cannot feel anything at all…
