#cx2 was meant to be a mirror for crosshair

[leapingbadger]

What an amazing take! Thank you OP this is so helpful. I didn’t want to operative to be Tech but I did think it was him.

Also, how poetic that once Cross earned his place back with his brothers/his family, that it was his brother, Hunter who killed his ghost/CX2!!!

Gah Star Wars why do you do this to me?!? 😱🫢🥹

ever since tbb ended it hasn’t stopped bothering me that the clone operative turned out to be a nobody. after being fed tech theory after tech theory after tech theory, i really thought it was him, or at least someone we know. but now, after all this time, i realized that the clone operative’s purpose as a character was to embody crosshair’s past. crosshair mentions in s3 that he learned how disposable he was to the empire, and if you think about it, cx2 basically took crosshair’s “spot”. in seasons 1 and 2 cross was the one going after the batch and causing havoc, then in s3 we get to see crosshair experience first hand what it feels like being on the other side of that. he’s being haunted by his actions. cx2 was never meant to be tech. tech was put to rest. this clone operative was meant to serve as a ghost of crosshair’s old self. after finally being able to understand this, i can now be at peace. and i can even say that i’m glad there was no face reveal, because that would have taken away some of the effect.
