Crosshair vs The Imperial Operative | Star Wars The Bad Batch | Season 3 Episode 7 | Disney+ 

But does he have Tech's intelligence? 🤨

No it's not badass

The operative also has Crosshair’s 773 Firepuncher rifle

Dude crosshair was injured because of tantis crosshair in prime eats this dude

@@CJ_1406 Seems like it in Episode 6

Character development even if it’s just a lil

He saw how Crosshair was with Omega and how he’s changed so he’s trustworthy now

@@xxgamerxxyut7004 yea i love those bits of character development a lot

@@xxgamerxxyut7004plus he saved howzer from inches away from getting shot as well

Can anyone tell me when did Howzer managed to join the squad behind that door before the flamethrower blew those charges up? Bruh I thought he died right there or got crushed by the rubble. I never saw him make it to the door. Nemec I saw, RIP

For some odd reason I believe it’s Cody but don’t want to keep my hopes up lol, plus I think the operative has the same dagger

The operative is a clone. Not crosshair's clone A CLONE. Holy Cow you Star Wars Fans have the iq and brain of a rock

@@RedNinja0070 bro, we can make fun theories, you have the attitude of a stone; yeah, maybe he's just a clone, maybe he isn't, still it is fun to theorize lol; go grinch somewhere else

@@RedNinja0070At least they aren’t condescending dickbags like you.

This operative was definitely a cut above the rest. His persistent to the mission and skills were definitely up there, not only that but he definitely thought on his feet and adapted to certain situations. If it is Cody id definitely believe it but I’m still hoping that he appears later on to be a better version of the dark trooper project.

If tech is somehow alive (i wouldnt like like it but its a possibility) he may be the clone assassin, he doesnt sound like regs and i dont mean the voice changer, the pauses he makes while talking the way he has an "accent" and somehow the way he runs and the way he is animated makes me feel like I know this guy, same that happened on CW when I saw vader, he had Anakin's shiloutte somehow with the helmet fitting perfectly where the animated hair was. I hope he is gone, bc the "somehow palpatine returned" thing that has been happening since maul IS getting annoying.

Yeah why do I feel like it is tech??!? But being an operative suddenly made him a better marksman lmao ​@@semoq8903

Star War's Winter Soldier

@@semoq8903I was just thinking the same thing

@@semoq8903 In terms of the running animation, its the exact same as the first clone Assassin that Rex captures in episode 6. I know for a fact because when I saw the first operator I thought something similar. But I think its just a pre-set animation that they put these models into, nothing more than that

it’s the little details that make this show great

She*

Wrecker also has Crosshairs rifle and hands it to him at the end showing he made sure to look for it because of both it being needed and symbolic of trust that he would hand his once enemy a rifle.

@deving8737 you know what I didn't even notice that

It’s not. Earlier in the ep, when Wolffe got pissed at CX-2 for shooting down the leech vessel, they were both in frame - and they were pretty much of equal height. Crosshair is 10cm taller than the regs.

It would,possibly be a clone with the combined traits of the bad batch, but in a normal clone body

They all will die anyway (except Omega)

@@ErykRoll Yes, but still. I didn't expect anyone to die already. I thought most of it was going to happen in the finale or like in the last 5 episodes

​@@panzernerd8486I thought Echo was going to die in these first few episodes because he barely showed up in the trailer. Glad to see otherwise tbh. I think at this point I'll be rather angry if the most (if not all) of the Bad Batch don't die. The clones dont get a happy ending and it'll fit thematically if the show ends with tragedy. Also, the sequels already establish that Palpatine was able to clone himself successfully while transferring his m count (midichlorion) so maybe something happens to Omega

@@ErykRoll excepto omega,Wolf,Rex y Gregor hasta llegar a Rebels

*Oh naw, don't tell me they gave him the ARQUEBUS "Reeducation" treatment!* 😭

The thing is, all the clones probably thought Rex was dead so Cody wouldn't know to reach him

@@syndicatepenguin8420 fair point!

⁠​⁠​⁠@@syndicatepenguin8420That’s exactly what I thought just now. I thought: “Does Cody know Rex is alive? Not likely.”

Yes I agree it makes more sense, they might have found him and tortured him. It makes his fate in canon clear and also very tragic

I have also been noticing throughout the whole season that the animators in some scenes kept forgetting their backpacks lol

Hahaha not the first time in this season

Forgivable

Also Tech is never known as a sniper

Probably those clones are tantis we see being tested on, who recognize crosshair as a prison mate

@@NarasimhaDiyasena Exactly. People are overthinking it

Could be like what happend to echo he just so much messed up stuff to tech he so that he only remebers crosshair and loyalty to the empire and the Dr alone

@@michaellang3492 Nah because he recognizes Crosshair meaning Crosshair would know if it was Tech. My guess is that its another Crosshair clone, hinted at from him using Bad Batch tactics and is also a sniper using the same rifle Crosshair uses

Fr. he was my favorite in Rex’s group.

Ikr ? It's so awkward now ! 😂😂😂😂

It isn’t the same Vibroblade

I have a bad feeling its Cody too

Bro, he took the vibroblade from one of the clone's corpse he murdered. Check the episode again.

I’m not stating that it’s the same exact Vibroblade. I’m stating that he handles one just like Cody, is great in hand to hand combat just like Cody, and is also a great shot just like Cody. Tech never had any skill with hand to hand combat. Cody is one of very few clones who Crosshair could lose to. The vibroblade was a callback to when Cody saved Crosshair with one back in Episode 2 of Season 2. Of course it wouldn’t be the same one. It shows that the “Operative” is highly skilled in hand to hand combat though, which Cody always excelled in.

If it were Cody, firstly he wouldn't be in Rebels with Rex and secondly, he would have had the knife beforehand. However, he stole this knife from that clone he took out in the security room.

My bets are on Dogma

@@awesomeaman113 That would make way more sense than Cody or Tech tbh

The operative used a vibroblade against Crosshair. Cody used a vibroblade to save Crosshair back in episode 2 of Season 2, and then “went AWOL” at the end.

Oh c'mon that's clearly not Tech you fool 😂

@HappinessPunch777 He did indeed. Would be sad to see Cody like this after his 1 to 1 with Crosshair but I don't think it's him. There's literally 0 meaning or impact if it's Cody. I would be disappointed.

Nah, he'll die in less than 5 episodes lmao

That’s what I was thinking.

too much wanking in prison

Tech's dead

@@gassyroyalnova2582hopefully no

@@dlma-l7q hopefully yes, star wars already has too many characters that don't stay dead which is a problem. For once this show has the benefit of having only a few characters we know make it out alive if you've seen rebels, but the majority is unknown what happens to them and this raises stakes which is honestly something star wars can use atp.

@@dlma-l7q🤡🤡🤡

@@gassyroyalnova2582 Filoni just cant stop letting his "dead" characters come back.

It kinda does now that you mention it

Although also rember when Rex was captured by Kalani in rebels he immediately called for Cody, that never happened in the clone wars so maybe it will happen here, chances are this is not Cody

I have a really bad feeling Tech will come back. I agree it would be a horrible decision

@@thegrove5259 I think from the dialogue he has when he's fighting Crosshair it gives away that its not him

@@aleemizcool3654 Yeah else he'll have already told the Batch that Tech's alive Because Crosshair trained with them

@@shubhnamdeo2865 Exactly 💯 Its pretty clearly just a random clone. At most its someone like Cody

Dude, there is enough horrible narrative decisions in this show. Another one won't change anything.

It’s probably a clone of Crosshair.

Picked that up from Omega, before, she was the one improvising and he was annoyed all the time

So was the other one that Rex captured lol. I think its hinting towards something else, maybe something to do with why Crosshair has a shaky right hand. I refuse to believe that its Tech because that would be a really, really stupid decision so I will remain in denial until its confirmed

⁠@@aleemizcool3654Crosshair’s right hand is most likely due to Hemlock’s gas. Hemlock says he has built an immunity to it, and he is always rubbing his hand and has it covered with a glove. I think Crosshair’s connection with the CX Operatives is that he had something to do with the creation of the program/training of the operatives when he was still aligned with the Empire. The Operative is most likely Tech. His leg armor differentiation points towards possible injuries, he deviated from orders on several occasions, pointing towards his defectiveness, his mannerisms are similar to Tech's, and he used very unconventional tactics, especially compared to the other operatives that we've seen in action throughout the show.

@@hp9351 The timelines dont add up. The assassin says "you had your chance to be one of us". By the time Tech is dead, Crosshair is no longer being conditioned to be an assassin but is just a prisoner. Crosshair also specifically says the training/conditioning didn't work on him because he's defective; it goes entirely against his character arc in season 2 to then turn around and decide to WILLINGLY train the operatives. This assassin is specifically calling out Crosshair because he recognizes him, meaning Crosshair and this guy have history in that they both recognize each other. This means that Crosshair would know for a fact if that operative was Tech. Do we really think that Crosshair wouldn't mention Tech being alive to his brothers? Or to Omega while they were still prisoners on Tantiss? If Crosshair was defective and the training/conditioning didn't work on him, why would it work on Tech who was also bred to be defective?

@@aleemizcool3654 Crosshair is clearly hiding something from the group. And what I said was a suggestion of what could’ve possibly happened, not what for sure happened. And yes, the timeline still does make sense in my suggestion, because 1. Crosshair could be lying to them about being “conditioned” and 2. I said he could’ve started the program when he was still aligned with the Empire, not after he turned. Tech dies after Crosshair has already become imprisoned 3. Just because the conditioning didn’t work on Crosshair, even if he’s being truthful about being conditioned in the first place, doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t work on Tech. It’s the same way in season 1, once Wrecker had a head injury, he became more susceptible to his programming. Tech fell from a great height, and could have suffered head injuries, leading him to be more susceptible to the programming, despite his defective tendencies. Even still, the Operative that we see is “defective” in the sense that he uses unconventional tactics and didn’t follow a single direct order. Edit: also, your point about Crosshair and this guy having a history… uh, yeah, Tech and Crosshair have a history

​@hp9351 the operative used unconventional tactics because he was clearly trained to operate that way. its become obvious that these assassins answer directly to hemlock, and is not required to listen to any other officer (hence him telling wolffe his unit is classified, as well as wolffe not even knowing that they were hunting clones)

It was Howzer that saved him

​​​​@@xxgamerxxyut7004 I know, but Hunter was right behind him and helped pull Cross out of the water, since Howzer had his other hand full with his blaster. Hunter nearly had a heart attack and I can't blame him. You KNOW he vowed he wouldn't lose another family member again after Tech died and he ran himself ragged searching for Omega. I'm scared of what that's going to look like when we get to the finale.

If that is the case, then how tf did he survived that fall? Huh?

​@@ErykRollPlot armor maybe

@@ErykRollMaybe just at the edge of the death? Just like Anakin who became vader? Don't trust the empire and their technology. It would be interesting.

Thats a stupid choice to bring him back

​@@aleemizcool3654 especially for the final season of the show

Sorry, but it couldn’t be. Crosshair explicitly mentioned that he didn’t get converted due to being defective, which means Tech couldn’t be converted either due to his own defective nature.

@@Crescent177not all defective clones are the same Rex and the 501st are all considered defective clones because of their unorthodox methods hence why Anakin was their commanding officer

@@Crescent177 Season 1 Episode 1. Tech said they were more deviant than defective. And maybe it also depends on the condition. If Tech was severely weakened and near death, his mind was certainly weakened and therefore treatable in Hemlock's favor. Either way, this CX-2 has more Tech. It can't be Cody because otherwise he wouldn't be with Rex in Rebels. It can't be a Crosshair clone either. In CW the character named 99. This clone grew extremely quickly and was therefore restricted, severely restricted, for fighting. If it were a Crosshair clone, it would have to be disfigured and not be able to fight like that. And in addition to Crosshair, there was another excellent marksman in Clone Force 99. Exactly, Tech. He shot the part off the car perfectly, which caused him to fall in S2's last episode.

@@Jewfrosinjacody isn’t with Rex im Rebels tho so it could be him, I’d much rather it be him over Tech somehow coming back

When tech had a bunch of time he died so crosshair is def gonna die

Honestly I think I’m gonna go with Cody, considering he especially took the knife from the dead clone just because he could. I think the Plan 99 music will always play when one of the members of the bad batch is in danger of dying alone, and the tech theme of the music is intentionally misleading.

well he would be brainwashed

Cody is and the combat type

I personally think it’s Tech. I reason this because he’s smart.. too smart. He knew to snipe the wiring on the table in episode 6 and knew what tech of the ship to shoot to take it down. Every step of the way I was thinking he’s too calculated and witty in everything he does.. even knowing he needed to close the distance after losing the long range rifle against crosshair. Way too intelligent for any other clone

It's not. Stop it already.

who tf is Kayleb Doom

Buddy, Crosshair trained with these dudes If he knew he were alive, the first thing he would have told Hunter was that "Tech lives" And so this means, not Tech Plus, most clones have similar height

Still there is something peculiar about this guy that reminds me of Tech. Just my gut feeling@@shubhnamdeo2865
