The funniest thing about this scene is that there is zero pre-communication about doing this bit, Obi-Wan just 100% flings himself into pretending that Qui-Gon is a notorious sadistic killer, like this horrible gremlin is faking LOOKING SICK at just the THOUGHT of what Qui-Gon might do if someone crossed him and Qui-Gon is playing right along, THESE TWO ARE THE WORST I LOVE THEM. (Star Wars: The Living Force | John Jackson Miller)

The Living Force live-Tumbl

Is that an acceptable equivalent of live-tweet? Maybe Tumbl-Along? IDK

Anyway my partner and I are listening to The Living Force together because he was 1st in line on Libby so I can't just binge it, which gives me time to write down my thoughts along the way!

We listened to chapters 1-6 last night.

-Obi-Wan has never not been cheeky and I love this about him. He just can't help flirting even when he doesn't mean to.

-I read Padawan and Master and Apprentice already, and timeline-wise I think this takes place 3-5 years after those? Love seeing the difference in Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship in this book vs those.

-Gorse mention! Melting someone in acid that was going to Gorse! John Jackson Miller really said "remember how I wrote the first canon novel?"

-Heezo is here as a treat for all of us who read Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade!

-We don't have artwork of her but I just KNOW Zilastra is hot. That Nautolan cowgirl from Jedi: Survivor was hot. I also know that Kor Plouth was hot. therefore Zilastra must be hot. And she's a pirate queen. So there. (Also Marc Thompson's voice for her is similar to Xiri Albaran's)

-I love how distracted Adi Gallia is by Valorum's blue office. Girlie missed a career as an interior designer. Also Palpatine thinks it should be red WINK WINK

-Luke would have appreciated the boots.

-We lost our shit when the one pirate said Qui-Gon was a "brain doctor" because he misinterpreted "he was asked to be on the Jedi Council" as "he's a counselor." Does this mean the pirates have access to mental health care?

(Part 2 here)

Never really thought I was going to fall into the "Tech Lives" theories, not because they annoy me or they're invalid (in fact they're not, theories and speculation are fair game), but because I tend to theorize and be wrong. I think the term delulu was born because of me.

But when CX2 says "Who are you?" I fucken felt that. "Domicile" who tf uses that word other than the most intelligent clone in the universe? The way he walks?! Reminiscent, to say the least. The emphasis of when CX2 was around Phee? The premonition Hunter felt when he arrived at Pabu?

Sorry folks but I think I'm officially in the Tech Lives camp. I'm ready to accept reality if it turns out he's not alive anymore but HOO CHICKENS it feels like he is.

Without hope, we have nothing.

(Spoilers and speculation included a bit further down)

This is actually a post about the Bad Batch and not Star Wars Rebels, but this bit is important so...

Try not to cry when you remember that Tech is the one who taught Hera Syndulla how to mask her ship's signature, a move that made her a massive threat to the Empire and a move that she often used to her advantage. She was such a threat to the Empire that they wanted to capture her alive so they could make an example of her for her years of defiance.

And then also try not to cry when you remember that when Hera was taken prisoner by the Empire, Kanan Jarrus sacrificed his life to free her and save the future of the Rebellion. Try not to cry when you think about the fact that Kanan Jarrus aka Caleb Dume was the Jedi padawan the Bad Batch protected (except for Crosshair) from the Empire during Order 66 by claiming Hunter killed him.

Hunter, Tech, Wrecker and Echo lied to the Empire to protect a Jedi.

And Tech taught Hera how to evade the Empire when the Bad Batch helped her family (Chopper included) escape Ryloth after being accused of treason.

Clone Force 99's actions had a direct outcome on the success of the Rebellion. They refused to commit treason against the Republic and all they did was commit treason against the Empire. They were strong enough to resist the effects of the inhibitor chip (Crosshair and Wrecker for awhile), outright ignored Order 66 (Hunter and Tech), or were tortured and turned partially into a machine against his will by the Techno Union and used as a weapon against the Republic who, upon rescue, immediately jumped back into Separatist territory and fucked their asses up (Echo). Luckily, with the help of Rex, they got their chips removed after Wrecker tried to kill all of them.

Everything under the cut is pure speculation. I'm having a galaxy brain moment, I just have no idea if it's pointing me in the right direction or not lol.

If you disagree with me, I don't need you to rudely tell me why.

After his time on Tantiss, Crosshair can now identify with Echo more than anyone else in the Bad Batch (and Tech if CX-2 is Tech).

When they went to rescue Echo, Crosshair is the one who snidely told Captain Rex that he would have left Echo behind too.

Which is exactly what happened to Crosshair when the Empire turned him into a weapon against his own brothers. He had no choice because the Empire attached him to a machine and amped up the effect of his inhibitor chip so he could not disobey orders.

Rex told Cody "I think Echo is still alive" and Cody told him that was impossible. Anakin accompanied him on this rescue mission with The Bad Batch (we know Cody would have too if he hadn't been injured).

I think that if Tech is CX-2, Crosshair already knows or highly suspects it. He's terrified of Tantiss. I think we're going to have a parallel moment of Crosshair possibly saying the same thing, knowing that he could never leave a brother behind again after what he went through, especially if CX-2 is Tech. (I also wouldn't be surprised if Omega suspected something after her trip back to Tantiss with CX-2.)

We never saw Echo's body after the explosion. Instead we got this image. An empty helmet and a droid arm.

Crosshair defected from the Empire when he witnessed the Empire tell him that Mayday was only a clone and not worth giving medical attention to. Those actions resulted in the death of Mayday and that's when Crosshair chose to shoot an Imperial officer between the eyes (similar to Dogma's execution of General Krell in many ways).

If Tech is CX-2, that is the second Bad Batcher the Empire has turned into an enemy against his brothers.

This is the last we saw of Tech.

Hemlock was fucking lying when he said that Tech's glasses were all they recovered. Why the hell would he have found Tech's glasses and not Tech? All we see below him are clouds. And this is the last bit of Tech we see. That gun is in the shot with his glasses for a reason.

I feel like this is going to parallel Echo's rescue from Skako Minor. Tech and Echo are both highly intelligent huge ass nerds (remember that the battle plans being used against the Republic were written by both Rex and Echo, and Cody acknowledged that Rex was one of their best strategists in the GAR) who always ended up working best together.

Part of me wonders if we are heading into a show centered on the clone troopers in a post Order 66 world going up against the Empire as they try to rescue more of their brothers. Enough to become a problem for the Empire.

Part of me also wonders if the inclusion of Force sensitive children in the Bad Batch means Rex will need to call Ahsoka into the fray. Wolffe has only appeared once so he hasn't even switched sides, let alone even started blocking Ahsoka's messages to Rex yet. During the Clone Wars she had to save Force sensitive children from Darth Sidious. During the Rebellion, the saved more Force sensitive children from Darth Sidious. It makes me wonder if she is also going to save Force sensitive children from this too? I might be reaching a bit too much here, but it could be a possibility! She seems to always show up when Force sensitive children need to be rescued from Darth Sidious.

No matter what ending we get for the Bad Batch, I know it's going to leave us with hope for the future because the message in Star Wars has always shown us that hope will always be stronger than fear.

A simple act of kindness can fill a galaxy with hope.

Without hope, we have nothing.

These episodes are all relevant to Echo's journey. The Domino Squad was referred to as a bad batch and Echo was the one who seemed to struggle the most with orders that conflicted with doing what needed to be done. He is the one who memorized the regulations manual after all. And now the Bad Batch are on a similar journey because they have never trusted regs before, but now it seems they might have to trust the regs to come to help them the way they helped Rex and Echo before the war ended. The way they helped Gregor after the war ended.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but that's a fanfic I can always write!! I don't want to get into who I think is going to die or survive, but I have my suspicions there too and I'm already in too much pain to keep going.

Outrageous crack theory: Colin looks a little too deep into the ‘puter system and gets possessed by Norris, Chester or Augustus. He starts speaking in an English accent and everyone is freaked out

“I flatter myself that I might have imprinted upon you some part of myself in that time together, and perhaps, in this way, I seek to keep hold of my prized violin.”

What an interesting statement to voice, Augustus. Whatever could that be alluding to, Augustus?

I cannot BELIEVE we actually got an answer to the question, "Do Jedi testify as witnesses in legal matters of the Republic?", because that is a thing I have had conversations about! AND YADDLE STRAIGHT UP TELLS US THAT THE ANSWER IS THAT THE COUNCIL DOES MAKE SURE THEY PROVIDE TESTIMONY. I WANT TO KNOW SOOOOOOO MUCH MORE ABOUT HOW MUCH A JEDI'S ABILITIES WITH THE FORCE ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, LIKE CAN THEY TESTIFY ABOUT INTENT IF THEY'RE A PSYCHIC EMPATH WHO CAN FEEL OTHERS' THOUGHTS? OR WOULD THE REPUBLIC SAY THEY HAVE NO WAY TO VERIFY THAT IF THEY'RE NOT A FORCE USER AS WELL SO THEY CAN'T BE SURE. I WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS. *SHAKING JOHN JACKSON MILLER* TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT THE JEDI TESTIFYING IN COURT CASE THIS IS THE SHIT I AM HERE FOR!!!!

The Living Force Live-Tumbl Part 5

Part 1 Part 4

Chapters 25-32

-Ki-Adi-Mundi is the worst. All my homies hate Ki-Adi-Mundi.

-HMMM Kylah was raised on Chalacta. Where Depa is from. INTERESTING.

-All my homies love Yaddle! I'm glad she got a Tales of the Jedi episode, and then a whole POV in Cataclysm. She's having fun on a speeder bike!

-Everyone should have a Master Piell as a teacher. You know, that teacher who doesn't necessarily stick to the curriculum but somehow you learn more from them than anyone else and remember them better years later. I had that teacher in 7th and 8th grade social studies. We did things like build model ships and put Goldilocks on mock trial.

-It's nice to see some people who love Jedi. Even if they've met one (1) Jedi and it's Master Piell and they are rowdy teens.

-Woostroids are a Legends species apparently! Love bringing them into Canon. And Morna is very relatable.

-Ah Zilastra, you've fallen into the role you don't know is all too common: personally slighted by one Jedi and now has a vendetta against all of them. The Path would have loved you. Ever heard of Axel Greylark?

-OMG the TV hosts are the same species as the podrace announcers from Phantom Menace! I ADORE this concept!

-Tenoo mention! I haven't seen every episode of YJA, but it does look like they celebrated a Jellyfruit Festival in one of the episodes- maybe that's what Yaddle is referring to!

-"There's a light that's within...The Jedi spend their whole lives trying to see that light- in themselves, and in others. It's part of something larger. You are part of something larger." Yaddle may I introduce you to my friend George Fox

-Also love Yaddle being the one to give the opposite of Yoda's warning. Courage leads to peace, peace leads to love, love leads to healing. Queen shit!

-Honestly this whole segment with Yaddle and Morna is representative of why I love reading Star Wars books. You get such insight into how Jedi view the force and how it parallels real-world mental health stuff.

-Yarael Poof!! Love that his attitude is basically "been there, done that, gonna have a good time now" because he's so old!

-"Poof is a grand and historic name among the Quermians. It's not my fault that when it translates into Basic it sounds like the end of a magic trick." (That quote speaks for itself, right?)

-All these other gang members really showed up to this Zoom call with their cameras off lol same

During the holiday season, Mobius wasn’t as lonely as usual. He had met a man who always flirted with him.

—

“Oh, look there’s mistletoe” he looks up grinning at the red orbs as he steps closer to Mobius.

As Mobius looks up, he sees nothing. It was gone.

He laughs. “There’s nothing there.”

The man looks up confused. “But… I swear—”

Mobius nods smiling. “I know. Look, I gotta go, but thank you for the offer.”

—

As Mobius walks home alone, he thinks out loud, “You don’t have to worry y’know.”

Snowflakes flutter down and pepper kisses on his face.

Loki smiles.

Coming Full Circle

There is a LOT of giving up going on around here! 🤨

"There are only two episodes to go." "There's not enough time to get Tech back." "We aren't going to find out who CX-2 is this late in the show."

Whoa! Just whoa.

Put on the brakes, peeps! There's so much of the full-circle storytelling technique going on in this series that there is NO reason to be giving up yet. There are a few parallels happening that are giving me hope that I want to share with you. I hope they help with your anxiety over what's coming in the next couple of weeks the way they have helped me with mine:

"The Cavalry Has Arrived" is the title of the final episode and also the very first words uttered by a Batcher in The Clone Wars. They came to the rescue then, and they are doing it now.

In that Clone Wars story arc, the Batch teamed up with Rex and other clones on a mission to infiltrate an enemy installation. They're doing that again. We know the Batch is on their way to Tantiss and we know from trailers that Rex will be there too.

They went into their Clone Wars mission with a specific task to accomplish, and in the course of that mission discovered that someone presumed dead was alive and being made to aid the enemy. It was Echo in The Clone Wars, and it could easily be Tech now.

The Clone Wars arc was four episodes long. Reports are saying that the final episode will be roughly triple the length of a single episode like "Aftermath" was to begin the series. That means that we have as much content still ahead of us to end the series as the entire Anaxes/Skako Minor/Echo rescue arc in The Clone Wars. They made a LOT happen in that story arc, and it looks like that's how much time we have coming up. A lot can still happen.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. I've had a lot of fun on this roller coaster ride through the galaxy with you all and our favorite defective clones. May the Force be with us as it wraps up! 🧡

#here's hoping #the bad batch #the clone wars #clone force 99 #captain rex #arc trooper echo #bad batch spoilers #tbb spoilers #tech lives #fandom positivity

You lack conviction.

As much as I want to see more of Echo, this has some serious comedic potential for a possible clone rebellion series, for example:

Echo: Oh for kark’s sake.

Rex: What now?

Echo: Omega just commed me. Apparently they’ve run into Cid again and Crosshair and Tech are having a hard time keeping Hunter and Wrecker from killing her. *long suffering sigh* I’ll be back in a few rotations.

Rex: Yikes, we need Cid’s intel. Also, bring them back with you, I need their help with something.

Echo: Careful with that, Hunter might try to kill you next.

#mama echo to the rescue lmao #he just has to run off and get them out of trouble every once in a while. rex is used to it #and yes you read that right this is a “tech lives and everyone survives the finale” blog #*clown shoes squeak*#the bad batch #tbb season 3 #tbb spoilers #tbb season 3 spoilers #just in case #tbb echo #captain rex #clone force 99 #echo is Done #and so is hunter lol
