"Friendly reminder that 100,000 problems would have been solved in an instant if Tech had just been allowed to scan my head...but they chose to spend 3 whole years sitting on their hands and preaching empty sermons to the audience so that nobody would ever have to complete this simple task."

I really wanted the next big Star Wars game to have character creator, for sure. But I have a feeling they won’t give us that because they are making all these games “canon” and want to reign in player freedom accordingly. Obviously there are ways around that, and it’s been done before, but that’s just the feeling I’ve got.

I cannot get over how much this one scene informs us of Tech's priorities, personality, and how much he cares about his squad.
THE SCENE: "Replacements," season 1 episode 3; the Marauder is in dire need of repairs
This scene is often played for laughs (and let's be real, it IS hilarious). There's Tech, completely ignoring Echo's not-so-subtle hints to help fix the ship, instead prioritizing tinkering with his gadgets because his definition of "critical systems" is apparently vastly different than others'. Result? The ship crashes.
But... Tech is RIGHT to be concerned about the chips.
He has been warning his brothers about the chips since Order 66, multiple times throughout "Aftermath" and "Cut and Run."
2. He suspected Crosshair was susceptible to the effects of the chip early on.
3. He saw firsthand the friction caused between Crosshair and the rest of the squad due to the chip, with the ultimate result that Crosshair attacked the squad and shot Wrecker.
OF COURSE he is going to prioritize creating a device that will test the functionality of their own chips - and I think he has two reasons for this.
First: Prevent further catastrophe by making sure no one else on the squad is at imminent risk of acting out like Crosshair did.
Can you imagine what could happen if anyone else became susceptible to the chip's effects? (Oh yeah, we can: we see exactly what happens with Wrecker on Bracca.) Tech's not losing another family member the way he just lost Crosshair.
Second: Support his theory that Crosshair's actions ARE a result of the chip. (Omega talked to Crosshair about this (in a roundabout way) in the brig, but it's Tech who mentions this possibility to the squad.)
And if they can find a reason, a solid explanation, for why Crosshair has turned on them, maybe they can find a way to help him.
Tech is logical and rational. He understands people by analyzing them, finding reasons to explain their motives and actions; and by understanding them, he can come up with a plan to fix the situation. And that's exactly what he's doing here: by proving his theories about the inhibitor chips, he can better help his family.
So, as much as I still laugh over Tech's nonchalant "We're fine" as they're LITERALLY CRASHING, I also find it so dang heartwarming and sweet that Tech was SO focused on saving his team in other, equally crucial ways ❤️

“poncho: jedi master edition” is such a good and necessary cal kestis form, seeing him attempt to teach a gaggle of padawans is simply the best thing i could imagine. i hope they also roast him sometimes in true middle schooler fashion <3
ok so i drew this AGES ago (way before the other post) and I think this counts as an excuse to post it! they probably do accidentally roast him a little but one of the ways they forget compassion in lieu of middle schooler "dont care about adults" is:

How did Rex get his name?
5 year old CT-7567, running excitedly towards Cody the moment he sees him entering the CC cadet barracks: Cody! Cody! Fox gave me a name!!!
Cody, surprised since Fox had initially opposed taking in '67: Really? That's great vod'ika!
CT-7567, practically bouncing on the tips of his toes: Yeah! He said it means 'King' in a really old language used by ancient Jetii! He said it fit me because of two reason!
Cody, curious: Those being?
CT-7567, pausing to think: Well… He only said the one, not the second... But he said I had the makings of a great leader!
Cody, a little suspicious: That's awfully kind of Fox. What did he name you then?
CT-7567: My name is Rex!
Cody, well aware that 'Rex' is a popular name for pet massiffs and dogs:
Cody, looking towards Fox who has a shit eating grin:
Cody, unwilling to shatter Rex's innocence well before time: … That's a great name Rex… Wear it with pride vod'ika…
Rex, grinning from ear to ear: I will! -runs off happily to go tell his batchers-
Cody, watching his little brother go: …
Cody, looking back at Fox once Rex is gone: You motherfucker...
Fox, cackling: I wasn't lying. He's got the makings of a great leader…
Fox: It just so happens that he's also a little bitch that bites.
Cody: Start running.
