So, I was just re-watching the Bad Batch intro arc of the Clone Wars, and a thought struck me.

When Anakin, Rex, Echo, and the Batch are trapped on that pipe, Anakin (sarcastically) asks if anyone has a brilliant idea for an escape attempt . . . and then Tech pipes up that he does have a brilliant idea (thank you so much for asking, General Skywalker). And it turns out that Tech’s idea is completely batshit (ha!) nuts and Utter Ludicrous (TM).

Like, Anakin’s just standing there, clearly thinking, “Wait, that was an option? Flying out on these lizard creatures was so far done on the list of possible solutions that I didn’t even consider it . . . and I’m always involved in coming up with the Ridiculous Plans (To Succeed). This is crazy, even for me.”

And then I realized — Tech just out-Anakin-Skywalker-ed Anakin Skywalker. He surprised the guy who is known across the galaxy as being the hero without fear. Anakin got a taste of what it’s like to deal with his improvisations and plans that shouldn’t work (but somehow do).

I really hope he had a moment of clarity and self-reflection, where he thought, “Oh, so this is what that feels like. Obi-Wan was right. Dealing with someone who has a penchant for Ridiculous Plans is stressful!”

And perhaps, Obi-Wan felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction back on Anaxes when Anakin’s realization rippled back to him through the Force.

So I caved and bought the Hyperspace stories Vol 10 because clone-wars-era Bad Batch and let me tell yall

Wrecker going on an absolute rampage because he lost a stuffed animal was something I never knew I needed

Also Crosshair picking a karkin' lock with a tooth pick was hilarous

THO WHAT IS IT WITH THE OTHER THREE JUST UP AND LEAVING CROSSHAIR? HE LITERALLY GOT EATEN BY A WEIRD GROUND CRITTER AND THEY JUST LEFT HIM

Catch me thinking about the day Cody unofficially adopts Clone Force 99

This ragtag group saved not only his men but his own life during an arduous campaign, and they keep picking fights during the aftermath. The one called Hunter wanted to leave, but Cody all but ordered them to hang around long enough to get their foothold back before they head off to...whenever it is this group goes. They've become a name in such a short amount of time, and to be named after 99 on top of it gains his interest.

Tech is the first to "warm" up to Cody, pulling what he called an Echo about the local wildlife while Cody is trying to salvage their position, and points out a few ideas that he hadn't considered. Once you get past the slight superiority complex Tech was great company, and as such Wrecker starts to orbit around Cody.

Wrecker reminds Cody of a lot of his men, and its maybe an hour before the bigger clone is laughing and telling tales of their exploits. He's pleased when Cody asks about him personally, slinging an arm around the surprised man to talk about how he had lifted a LATT/i once to scare off some longnecks, and Cody let's out a rare laugh at that.

Crosshair is the next one, orbiting in the background to keep an eye on his two brothers that seem enamored by the reg. He doesn't really understand why this one was different, and hardly says a word until a few days into their forced stay. He's taken to flicking his toothpicks at Cody's back for fun, and grins when Cody catches the next one, threatening to return them with 10x the force unless he knocks it the kriff off. Crosshair just taunts in return until quite suddenly, he's picked up and chucked across the command center with a growl to stop being a shiny and behave, or you're on guard duty for the rest of your life. Crosshair decides he likes him then.

Hunter is the last one to fall in orbit, more unsure about Cody and his seeming kindness than anything else. They had always just stuck around each other, and while never overly rude to regs, they were just too different to be considered a "true brother" in Hunter's eyes. Yet here is Cody, reprimanding Crosshair and Wrecker like they've been under his command all their short lives, or chiding Tech to eat something before he goes almost a full day without sustenance, and yes he is serious. He's not sure when he went from silent observer to chatting idly at night with Cody, but it happens and suddenly Cody is more than another reg.

I have many Thoughts of my boys <3

kiss kiss fall in love

WAKE UP, BAD BATCH NATION!!

How do Rex/Wolffe/Gregor girlies sleep knowing they're safe for the Bad Batch finale:

How do Hunter/Wrecker/Crosshair/Echo/Howzer/Cody girlies sleep:

Instantly thought this during this scene 💀

It is 2008. I am turning nine. I am watching The Clone Wars movie in theaters with the boys. The clones are fighting on Teth. This rules.

It is 2024. I am twenty-four. I am watching The Bad Batch in my apartment on my own. The clones are fighting on Teth. This hurts.

this work is a spiritual successor to this meme redraw I did a year ago -> [LINK]<-.

Padme and Wrecker go undercover as farmer hands to investigate an abuse of the system created by the Senate to aid in growth less advanced planets that are part of the Republic . Padme, as she often does, wants to conduct her own investigation of the issue. Not being able to talk her out of it, in last ditch-effort to keep her safe, Anakin appoints Wrecker as the senator's bodyguard.

Upon getting to the work site, their new employer immediately assigned Wrecker to haul all the heaviest loads. Even though it wasn't too much for the sapper, the workload still left his body feeling stiff and sore.

Padme offers the clone commando some well earned relief... and, as it turns out, Padme is way better in this type of back massage than Wrecker's regular "masseur" - Crosshair.
