What if they reunited during the events of the bad batch……

Okay so I’ve watched the newest Bad Batch episodes now
And it is time for thoughts
Because I am NOT OKAY IN THE SLIGHTEST
Clones are questioning and deserting en masse and I am loving it. Order 66 only overrode them when it came to the Jedi, they didn’t fully lose the personality and individuality they’ve fought so hard to gain ;-;
CHUCHI FIGHTING FOR THE CLONES damn was Dave paid by the Foxiyo shippers or smth? Anyway I am living for it, I’ve had the hc that Chuchi eventually gives up on the Senate and openly full-on joins the Rebellion (earlier than people like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa did) and this fits it perfectly. Also Chuchi continuing Padmé’s fight, I love it
Chuchi got older, and while I’m not a huge fan of her current model, I do like that they updated it in more ways than just better quality. She isn’t the inexperienced senator she was in season 1 of The Clone Wars anymore
It’s heartbreaking that the clones can’t even think of pensions and retirement. They were created to fight, and most likely expected to die on the battlefield someday. They want to die on the battlefield. They have never been offered true humanity, and as such Chuchi’s proposal is almost insulting to them, feels like stripping them of their function, their reason to live, their most important trait
That assassin, what is happening there?!? Had Friendpatine groomed a secret clone task force for such things since their birth? Has he found a way to fully brainwash them with the inhibitor chip? And why was my first thought when the helmet came off that it was Slick of all people?
OF COURSE HIS CONTACT IS REX, Rex who never gives up the fight for his brothers ;-;
It pisses me off more than it should that Rex is staying with Trace and Rafa (or at the very least using their place as an outpost), and we don’t even get to see or hear from Ahsoka. She’s the one who connected them, and while I understand fully that she wouldn’t be on Coruscant anymore, at least some connection would have been nice ;-; They can’t have fully separated already, can they?
Rex has multiple clone contacts. Is one of them Cody? Is one of them Crosshair?
Fuck Rampart. Fuck him so hard. But like not in this way, not in the way that seals the clones’ fate
I love Friendpatine’s updated Emperor model
Okay you know from the beginning that something was gonna happen with Echo, but this is heartbreaking. It’s what he deserves, to stand with Rex again, fighting for their brothers, for the regs, but that doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking. I very much hope that the series will continue to show what him and Rex are up to just like we occasionally get Crosshair focus
It also deeply frightens me. In Rebels, Rex lives with Wolffe and Gregor; not Echo, who he has fought directly beside with much more than either of them. Why would he and Echo get separated again, especially after they’ve both lost so many brothers already? I’m gonna stay optimistic and say Echo went to live with the rest of the Bad Batch again, but I’m terrified
I love the sudden darkness the show has taken after the past relatively innocent episodes. The plot is moving forward again, and while I deeply fear where it is heading, I’m also living for it
Seriously though when can we see Cody and Crosshair again ;-;

Tech: If I fall… Phee: I’ll be there to catch you. Hunter: *looks at Rafa* What if I fall? Rafa: Then I’ll fall with you, never leaving your side. Crosshair: *watches these two interactions* Crosshair, to Ventress: And if I fall? Ventress: I’ll be the one who pushed you.

Someone hints they don't like Phee Genoa on the internet: "SOUND THE BANNERS! MARCH AT DAWN! PROTECT HER!"
Someone hints they don't like Trace and Rafa Martez on the internet: ::crickets::
As someone who works closely with the Latinx community in my city and is deeply involved in it as a neighbor and academic, I'm so incredibly disappointed that there is not the same amount of protection and defense for the Martez sisters. This is especially for Trace, who I think is adorable.

A curly-haired sassy bright working class gearhead who ends up accidentally being a hero? Come on. She's Caylee from Firefly. We need more people like her.

Something I would add onto this is the inclusion of Kaeden and Miara and the Martez Sisters. like yeah, so much missed potential and they focus on the wrong things about Ahsoka.

I think I've figured out why Phee is rubbing so many people the wrong way.
Tumblr media
Putting it the nicest way possible, there is a lot of dislike going on about the character of Phee Genoa, particularly when it comes to her flirtatiousness toward Tech. At first, I thought that it was that people didn't want for the Batchers to be romantically involved. And while that is true for many fans, who would like to see the interpersonal relationships in this show remain solely about the bonds of siblinghood, I don't think that is the main issue most people have with Phee. It's not that she's flirting with Tech. It's that she's not good enough.
It started the moment we met her. As fans who love these guys for what they've been through, seeing Phee immediately waltz into the first episode treating them with disrespect was an instant point against her. She didn't greet them in a friendly way. Aside from her approval of Tech, she started off by insulting their appearance, luckily leaving out her opinion of Echo or things would be even worse for her in the eyes of fans right now. But even with her approval of "brown eyes", Tech is not immune to her rudeness. Referring to him as "clone obvious" in the most recent episode shows that she has little respect for him either.
It feels a lot like the reaction fans had to Rafa Martez last season. She was incredibly rude to Hunter, referring to him as "clone" and berating him at every opportunity. Her treatment of Hunter and her disrespectful attitude toward clones in general made her very unpopular. It wasn't until the end of the episode when Rafa's demeanor softened and she began to show the Batch respect that fans lowered their metaphorical pitchforks.
But Phee hasn't shown us that--yet. She has yet to say thank you or admit that the Batch is anything more than Cid's hired clone gofers. It really doesn't matter if her purpose on the show is romantic, motherly, platonic, or whatever. Until she shows a little more humility and gives the Batch the respect we want for them, the pitchforks will remain at the ready.

I talk mostly about how the Jedi failed the clones when discussing their Issues but I think a lot too about the Martez sisters.
There was a populated landing platform right in the path of the ship, but the Jedi steered it clear of that, right into the portal wall. And on the other side of that wall was our home.
Mom and Dad saw it coming. They got Rafa and I out. But they weren't so lucky.
The Jedi didn't even capture Ziro. The "distraction" of the ship helped him get away.
No one can blame the Jedi for this in good faith, it's a horrifying situation to be faced with. Let a lot of people die or save them and put other people at risk. A no win choice, made in a split second to save as many people as possible.
But it's not that which seems to be at the heart of their issue with the Jedi. It's the response when it was all over.
Afterward, the Jedi came back, and one of them came over to me. I'll never forget it. She was beautiful, dark robes contrasting against her light green skin. Penetrating eyes.
She looked at me, and you know what she said?
She said, "I had to make a choice, but not to worry, the Force will be with you". That's it. Then she was off.
And Trace and I were left without parents, without a home, just left there to find our way in their system.
And that's where you see the way that the Jedi can be cruel, where the order fails the people it's supposed to protect. The order has enough resources to at least offer these two a place to live, support, something for these teens that were orphaned by their actions.
Instead, though, they get a single platitude and nothing else.
The hard choice was made. There was no possibility for a deathless ending. The Jedi aren't responsible for being put in that situation. They are responsible though for how they respond to the aftermath. And I think it's pretty clear here that they totally fucking botched it.
There's no reason to leave these girls entirely on their own, they have a whole temple they could let them stay at. Trace and Rafa could easily have been provided for! But we never see anyone without high force sensitivity in the Temple. It's just not considered as an option. So they were left completely abandoned. The good intentions of the individual Jedi didn't help offset that institutional neglect and damage, and what was meant as a kind reassurance instead becomes salt in a wound.
This is what I want to dig into more with the Jedi. How everyone can want to do good, can want to help people, but institutional stagnation can still hold them back from it.
And that's just an example on how they impact others, don't even get me started on the damage we can see when it comes to separating younglings from their families.

Louk's Bad Batch rewatch part 10 omg and 10 days until s3 👀
Lets go batchers 🤟
The Bad Batch 1x06
I love reading the aurebesh signs hehe
Omega nearly takes out a stranger and literally goes "teehee oopsie" I love her sm
Echo teaching her how to shoot 🥺
HIS HAND ON HER SHOULDER 😭
Wrecker: "not exactly a natural is she" Hunter: *vague nod/shrug thing* 💀
I'd love to shoo cid out of the bar "scram" @ cid
Tech is playing arcade games !!!! 👀
"I assume you know what a tactical droid is" *3 voted yes, Omega voted no, Tech panicked*
I used to think cid telling the batch they work for her was a kinda funny scene but rewatching it now knowing what I know it just infuriates me 😡
"weak noodle arms" SHES JUST A BABY
"this old trick?" hehe like the one Han did in ESB 👀
"that's your plan? fly there, land, hope they don't spot us and walk in the door?" ~ Obi-Wan about Anakin's plan - me pretending Echo learned this from Anakin 🥺
poor Wrecker with heights, he's so brave fr I'm very proud 💕
"nighty night" 🤣
everyone is probably gonna hate me for saying this buuuuttt... I kinda wanna see more Martez sisters after this episode lol
Rafa: "grab a weapon" Omega: "I had one 😑"
y'all the banter between Hunter and Rafa 👀 the way he walks behind her with both blasters out
THE FLIP AND ROLL OMEGA DOES TO GRAB THE DROID HEAD !!!
"thanks" hehehe she's so cheeky
sibling banter
YOU'VE GOT THIS WRECKER 👑
Wrecker hits his head count: 7 👀
and he just got shot in the same place on his shoulder for the third time 🙃
"Good soldiers-" screaming sobbing exploding into another dimension
HELP HER TRACE
Omega screaming for Hunter 😭
plus Hunter's "hang on Omega!" *checking myself into therapy*
Hunter literally swinging in to save Omega like he's tarzan 👑
that "thank you" was SO sincere I'm going to go cry my eyes out forever
Trace grabbed Omega to pull her behind her 🥺
Rafa: "I still don't like you" Hunter: "I'm used to it" 🥲😂
okay but Wrecker fighting the chip, hearing Tech calling for him sounding so concerned, then Crosshair desperately saying "good soldiers follow orders" is incredibly painful to hear... but it's like he's hearing his brothers both desperately calling him to them, Crosshair's voice is like the chip trying to activate, he's frustrated and confused which is probably exactly how Wrecker feels right now, and Tech's voice is trying to bring Wrecker back away from the chip 🥲 like they're both tugging at his brain to go different directions or smth idk I'm emotional about them always
"is there an echo in here?" "Yes, I'm Echo" *salutes* he's just so silly and goofy and I know the domino squad is absolutely cackling rn 😂
Tech's little swirly flip of the datastick like Hunter does with his knife makes me think Tech can also use Hunter's knife and that is something I would love to see pls
Trace has her arm around Omega again! 🤲
Tech is so sneaky hehe
Omega: "it's all about tuning out distractions" SEE CID SHE TOOK ECHOS ADVICE AND NOW SHE'S FINE pfft "weak noodle arms" NO MA'AM
R7 💕💕💕
Omega is so excited about being in a seedy area lmaooo
Omega and Rafa waving at each other as they leave 🥺
Hunter talking about the right reasons I am feeling emotions again
hmm I wonder who this mysterious person on the holo could possibly be 🤔🤔🤔
yayyyy episide 6 done y'alls 💕 thanks for joining again ilysm
I'm going to be doing a lot more hehe because I was super busy for a few days and now my timing is off 🙃
see y'all next time for when the fit hits the shan 🤟

Star Wars Headcanon (I can't draw this but I invite anyone with any skill level to do so, I want to SEE IT but sadly I am Photoshop illiterate) Instead of being a polite, cruel & cold version of himself, Sith!Obi-Wan Kenobi is literally just *xxxtra* Ewan McGregor as Black Mask, mask included. He owns a nightclub and wears velvet and lace and leather, he has made Commander Cody dance naked on a bar table in the middle of a 79s hostage situation, every undercover Jedi Shadow that tries to infiltrate his organization ends up doing his dirty work and then getting tossed off a pier with extreme prejudice (looking at you Quinlan Vos), he once told Admiral Thrawn his art collection was "gauche", when Jedi!Maul was hunting him down, Sith!Obi went to Dathomir and skinned a bunch of his relatives and then wore the skin over his mask (double mask!) and called it avant garde self expression, and so on ad nauseum.
Is there a plucky femme anti-hero heroine who is going to shove a flashbang into his brocade jacket and blow him to smithereens? Probably- I'm not SAYING Ahsoka/Asajj/Trace&Rafa/Barriss/LattsRazzi etc should be crammed into a Birds of Prey style allies of convenience followup illustration (but I'm thinking it kinda fucking loud)

Fic where a few years after the war ended Ahsoka decides to reconnect with her family and finds out she inherit the old Tano ranch on Shili. But she has to be married before taking legal possession through some archaic Togrutan law.
But that’s okay because the half dozen girlfriends she’s gathered through her travels just follow her around wherever she goes. It’s just her and Barriss and the Martez sisters and Bo-Katan and Kaeden Larte and whoever that other farm girl is and who knows who else and it’s a 90s harem anime?
Asajj pops in as a relationship advice guru who gives horrible advice.
