#someday i will have the energy to write this as a huge longfic and then i'll email it to Lucasfilm

thinking of all the post-finale ways Tech could return, and i actually love the idea of him having been in stasis/carbonite somewhere for like 15 years (pirates? Tarkin? backup Mount Tantiss labs? the possibilities are endless), only to be rescued by Rebellion Pilot Omega.

But here's the thing: once he's unfrozen, he and Omega are now the same age. it would be so interesting to see how he deals with the fact that he missed her childhood, his baby sister is very suddenly all grown up, and his brothers, who were essentially his twins, have now aged about 30 years in his absence. he notices that Omega, years and years after his supposed death, still hangs onto his broken goggles and realizes just how much his family grieved his loss.

how would Tech emotionally handle all of this? i think this would be a cool way for them to bring Tech back, and also not take away from the narrative impact of his sacrifice. his family still lived all those years without him, believing he'd never return. i also just really want to see Chaotic Genius Rebellion Pilots Tech and Omega, the Empire's absolute worst nightmare.
