Somehow, Tech has survived the fall. Tech, “Well, I thought it was obvious.”

As soon as Hemlock showed Tech's goggles, one had to immediately think that Tech was going to be some big experiment.

While I liked Tech, especially in the second season, story wise, Star Wars has got to get back to actually killing characters. I just feel anymore that the characters, whether bad or good, never die, and that hurts the story narratively because it feels like there’s no stakes.

I think bringing back tech would work best if the crew spends most of the season believing he died and trying to avenge his memory only to later learn he's been turned into something else, prototype darktrooper or otherwise, that strips him of all his former self and makes him an enemy that the batch can't save, unlike Crosshair. This would make Tech's resurrection kind of like a Monkey's Paw type of thing, where yes, you have Tech still alive, but with a terrible cost that almost makes you wish he were still dead, putting the audience in the same shoes as the batch. You'd desperately want to save him, to return him to who he was, but that's impossible now, and it's exactly the kind of dark thing I'd expect to see in the Bad Batch

I loved Tech far more than any other clone introduced in Clone Wars. However, if he comes back, I will lose all faith I have in Dave. You can't just have a dramatic death like that, just to bring them back and be all like, "oh well they just kinda survived lol."

I wouldn't be surprised if Tech comes back. Especially after "Somehow Palpatine returned".

Tech is that mystery clone assassin. The way he called crosshair brother seemed sarcastically personal

As an autistic person, I related to Tech more than any other character I've seen on TV. His death legitimately shocked me. It's the first time any TV show or film has nearly made me cry.

If they're gonna have Tech survive, they should've gotten Hemlock to find him and take him to his facility for preparations. Afterall, he is the brains of Clone Force 99. That mind of his can prove useful.

I always figured Tech was alive solely because of Hemlock’s line “this is all we found”(reguarding the goggles). Those things were strapped to his face under a helmet, either they should’ve been snapped in half with blood splatter or somehow Tech managed to get out of that alive

9:20 Ford: "Hell no, you killed my character, why do you want me back for the 3rd movie?!?" Disney: "It's just a short hallucination scene, you'll just need to say a couple of lines. The fans really want to see you!" Ford: "...no stabbing?" Disney: "You're a vision, not real. No stabbing." Ford: "...Still no." Disney: "..." Disney: "Here's a big bag of money." 💰 Ford: "Ok fine." 😑

Its obvious he will be back. They've already confirmed his voice actor will have a credited part this season.

With so much character development Tech was given in season 2 of Bad Batch & the love he recieved from the fandom. Yes, I do agree with the financial advantage that Disney & Lucasfilm would take to see where his story would go and what steps to take to make them work to bring him back somehow, like what they did Maul and Echo for the Clone Wars. However, it's not just the fandom or the financial advantage that has me believing Tech will come back alive for Bad Batch Season 3. It's what I noticed with him throughout his journey since his introduction through his personality, and how it become more noticeable during Season 2. Tech even pointed it out in one of the later episodes before the season finale. For as long as we've known Tech, he's always been calm and collective even in the most tense and stressful situations. Never shown any hints of anger or frustration to anything or anyone, no matter how much he was feeling at the time. In 2x02 "Ruins of War", Tech femur gets fractured and has to limp in order to walk. With that kind of injury, any person would be screaming their heads off from the pain. In 2x06 "Tribes" after TBB finds and rescues the Wookiee Jedi youngling Gungi from the smuggling droinds, they try to approach him after Omega gives him some food but he growls at them because he didn't trust them. Both Wrecker and Hunter flinch away to give Gungi space, but Tech remained unphased and didn't move. Even in the heats of battle when things go wary, he doesn't show that he's stressed and can still think clearly & give proper instructions. Tech made that clear when he was giving Omega flying lessons in 2x14 "Tipping Point". Despite some light-headedness by the time they land to meet Echo, Tech was able to recover quickly to be back to his normal self. So even when with most believing that with all the character development Tech got during S2 was so that he could be killed off, and they're okay with that and hoping he doesn't come back. It was those three events in S2 that has me convinced that Tech did survive that fall in 2x16 "Plan 99", and he is still alive. How Tech survived and wondering whether or not Hemlock has him as a prisoner at Mt. Tantis is a mystery until Season 3 premieres. If he is, then that would explain who's standing in front of all those Stormtroopers on Pabu in the Clone X suite. If not, there's word going around that the season/ series finale will be like Avenger: Endgame. So if anything, Tech will be gathering friends and allies throughout the galaxy to help fight the Empire to save his family and new home on Pabu.

Not gonna lie you're right...about the money thing. The more profitable they are, the more likely they're gonna get resurrected... Story/realism be damned

I bet they cloned Crosshair as the base for Dark Troopers. It makes sense because in legends the Imperial Dark Troopers ORIGINALLY had clones inside them and that enhanced their life-span and protection for valuable soldiers. They were essentially the B2 Super battle droid of the Empire.

I really hope tech isn’t one of those cwx guys. I’m definitely in the camp of them being a prototype iteration of the dark trooper and it’s haunting to imagine him being forced into it.

If this Bad Batch final season doesn't end with an older Omega over a memorial with all the Bad Batch dead (ala Saving Private Ryan.) I'll be severely disappointed.

I figured he'd survived. Tech had an insane amount of gear on him at all times, and we've seen the Bad Batch use that gear for more perilous situations than a fall. If there was anything at all on the way down within roping distance to break his fall, he definitely took advantage of it. But I believe he was seriously injured, such that he was unable to escape Hemlock's goons.

I believe that Tech's survival might go down the same route as the Winter Soldier in the MCU.

I’ve found when a show decides to focus a season on a particular character’s story, you need to be prepared to say goodbye to that character. They do this on purpose so that the final outcome hits the hardest.

As Colonel Meebur Gascon once said, “He’s doing what a soldier does: sacrificing himself for the lives of others.”

When Tech did what he did i I yelled at my screen and then I sat there mouth opened and in denial.... I really hope that they bring him back🤞🤞

No body, no death. Fiction 101.

With where Rex is at mentally in Rebels and where they depict him at now fighting the empire I wouldnt mind if they give the Batch Crew minus Omega the Rouge One ending (all die permanently) it would go alot to explaining the set up of Rex.

Exclusive: How the Rey movie is setting up Greedo's return from the dead

I hope that Techs´ fate stays permanent, but if they want to make something bitter sweet, they could make it so that he gets made into a droid-like being, like griveous in legends after Obi Wan defeated him, where he basically gets a droid brain. Would make it even bitter sweeter, if he had to fight the bad batch.

I fully expect Tech to have been recovered by the Empire and subjected to the same type of cybernetic augmentation that Echo was, but more extensive. His mind is a valuable asset that can be used.

For some reason I thought this was going to be a video about how the Techno Union was going to make a comeback.

Well it was a nice dream but it was nicer that death actually sticks since so many series have an issue with keeping characters dead.

Ever since Tech fell I've been thinking they're gonna do a Winter Soldier storyline with him. It just seems obvious. Personally, I hope for the story that he's gone, but for his characters sake I want him to live cause I think he's great.

If they can bring back Ecco, they can bring back Tech. We all thought Ecco was blown up. Tech may have just landed somewhere below the clouds and be slightly hurt. The glasses could be anyone's.

I think rather then tech surviving we will get crosshairs back in the trailer you can barely see his rifle over Hunters’s head

One of the first stages of grief is denial

Watch tech and omega are the only survivors in the series

I don't see how he could survive such a fall, especially with the railcar above him. I can only imagine the Empire uses his body as a Phase I Dark Trooper, the ones that are mostly human with cybernetic enhancements. Imagine the gut punch of the Bad Batch being on a mission, and finding their ship hacked or something, and recognizing the sequence as Tech's, or being attacked by some Dark Troopers, and exposing his face somehow, realizing he is nothing more than a mindless puppet now, and they have to kill him. I won't have too much of this rescue, miraculous survival, or no one actually dies nonsense, because it gets unbelievable when used often. It's like Allan(possible spelling error) said, most the time people return only because they're popular/can be used to milk money.

It would be a powerful tool against the empire with them thinking one of the most smartest clones is dead

Dose anyone else think that Tech will be the first Dark Trooper?

God I hope they let Tech rest in peace. The crying that would ensue from “fans” would be insane. Plus his sacrifice for the group would be undone. That said, I really like Tech and personally wouldn’t be upset if he does come back.

I watched those final scenes many times. He still had another handblaster (he carried two) and it was the one he used as a grapple gun. He think he got banged up, but then, like a special forces soldier, he went into evade and survive mode. And because the Empire didn't want the best in their stormtroopers, just "good enough" he could easily outwit the local ST. I think he is waiting to recover enough until he can steal a ship with a hyperactive to escape off world.

If he survived, he’s Tech. He’s not going to let himself be found by the Empire if possible. Rex and his clones could have been closely following the lead Saw and his rebels had but were weary of the effect it was going to have or do. The left over goggles could have been Tech or even Rex leaving them there to throw off anyone looking for him

Andor Season 2: *Finishes* John, Tony, and everyone else: "Well, that's that story done. Time to move-" Kathaleen: "Wait. People love Andor. Bring him back." John, Tony, and everyone else: "But... he died in Rogue one." Kathaleen: "SOMEHOW ANDOR WILL RETURN."

No one is ever dead with Disney

I think they might take the "Winter Soldier" approach with Tech. In the trailer we see what we can assume is a clone in black armor with a visor that we can't see through. That, along with the fact that the Bad Batch's armor is already a dark gray bordering on black and that Crosshair wore black armor during his time working for the Empire, makes this one of the more likely scenarios for if Tech survived.

Falling into abyssal fog is equivalent to being stabbed in the gut with a light Saber...

Big give away that the Clone operative is Tech. When the operative is fighting Crosshairs, he says to him. " you had our chance to be one of us. You chose the wrong side," he meant when Crosshairs chooses the Empire and not the Bad Batch on kamino.

I have a feeling that if Tech comes back after Eriadu, he might come back as a canon version of the Phase 0 Dark Trooper.

Somehow Tech has returned

tech never, never does anything without a plan... ever! you also see tech falling with his acension cable still attached. As high as he was and as smart as he is, he would have realized that he could glide, and his visor could have calculated all the physics and flight angles he would have to follow to re-deploy his accension cable and thus save his own life... (therory) Tech is alive and will be an ark in season maybe... right?

Tech is the Sheldon of the group. He may *seem* detached, but he is very emotionally intelligent when the time comes.

Star Wars being Marvelized...nothing "dies". Every character returns at some point because reasons. Might as well resuscitate Anakin's mother and Padmé while at it.

I'm probably a bit like tech because on the sunset scene all I could think was, Are they using timers for their lights because that's pretty uniform.

He better be a zombie or like Echo was during the Anaxis arc. The sacrifice is now in vain.

The only thing that makes me even slightly question him surviving that is the fact that he's directly under the cable car as he falls, meaning that no matter what he'd hit, that massive hunk of metal will land right on top of him. Regardless though I'm pretty confident they're going for a fake out, which I am kinda disappointed by. Wish these stories would actually have stakes.

Walk the Trail of The Cedars in Glacier Natl Park and you'll see a few of the same type of gigantic trees (Hemlocks)Tech fell into. Not a better scenario to survive such a fall. Peace/JT

Great video Allen, putting the Tech in Generation Tech!

Reactions of the fans when Midnight and Sasha died: HOW COULD THEY DO THIS?! Reactions of the fans when Tech has been hinted to survive: We wanted him to remain dead!

Tech is probably gonna get the robocop treatment. If he comes back evil, I hope he stays evil. I hope it goes something like "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest" and how that ended.

I knew Tech wasn’t dead the moment Hemlock threw his goggles. That’s what the bad guy does when he’s LYING about the character being dead! Lotso did the exact same thing with Woody’s hat in Toy Story 3, making the other characters think he had possibly killed Woody, when in reality he had no idea where Woody was and Woody had simply dropped his hat during his escape.

i really hope they dont do em dirty

Lil bro is in Denial. Not only did he fall the machine was also falling on too of him

Well this hits different after the finale

What if they made two Techs? What if the Kaminoans made backups of each member of Clone Force 99?

There's also a third reason character is being killed: he is not aligning with radfem ideology of current president of Lucasfilm.

Once again proving that Dave filoni is a coward and doesn't have the balls to actually kill off his characters. I am almost waiting for him to wreck on Rebels and show that Darth Maul is not actually dead

I swear if he's brought back...

I think Tech is gonna come back in some capacity. Not only is there not a body to confirm he’s dead (we have at best his pair of goggles) but we’ve already got a track record of Batch members presumed KIA in a situation with basically no chance of extraction by friendly forces even if they did survive, allegedly their headgear being all that was left of them, and then having their minds repurposed by the enemy. If Echo survived the shuttle explosion on Lola Sayu, we’re probably getting Tech back as an EU-like Phase 1 Dark Trooper.

The star wars universe sounds wonderful, everyone but qui-gon is immortal

I don’t think they are willing to kill of any main character anymore.

When crosshair looks through his eyepiece at the clone X it has prosthetic limbs, go bck and look closer.

I think an interesting theory would be that tech did die but Hemlock cloned him to practice his methods and attempted to make him side with the empire

If Tech comes back, I will immediately turn off my TV and not finish the series.

“The point is, the possibilities are endless!” “And also hidden by the clouds” :D

Looking at the clips of tech falling.. His back pack has a booster jet system... I wouldn't be surprised he used it in someway.

What was Saw Gerrera's extraction plan? Have someone waiting outside to scoop them up perhaps. When the detect a fire fight on the cable car it would be natural to assume that that was Saw and his team. But which side is which. Saw and his people are in storm trooper armor. The odds are that the extraction team would use their ship or flying craft to grab everyone falling from the fight. With force fields, tractor, beams and a matching velocity dive you could catch people. The lack of hand rails in Star wars implies that few fear falling. Tech could be with Saws people. He's too beat up to head home and may think they're dead. Hemlock only found the glasses and is lying about the others. There are also some interesting flying creatures in star wars than may snatch a falling snack from the air. With his gun dropped tech would need to get creative.

You know very well that not just any Jedi can become a force

He’s gonna be a dark trooper like from the battlefront games

Most people who have survived falling out of airplanes with no parachute survived because they clung onto a piece of wreckage, and from that shot, there seems to be a LOT of wreckage for tech to grab onto and survive the fall

A character we thought was dead is brought back? This is shocking!

I honestly hope they bring him back as a shell of his former self. An imperial mindless experiment. The Tech we know is dead, his body is now the empires.

Na, he didn't show up in the finale, he's actually dead, I really respect the show for this decision.

Reminds me of Legends Character Koran Horn

The only way I could see tech coming back is if it’s just his brain with like a torso and they have to say goodbye and pull the plug on him.

Didn’t the bad batch panel at Star Wars celebration confirm he was dead dead by multiple people?

I accidentally spoiled Tech's death for a friend. So now I'm faced with the option of letting Disney retcon my mistake, or spoiling his return. 🤔

Am I the only one who noticed Tech use a jet pack on that episode?? He used it (one time, quick burst) when jumping from the top of the rail car to the next. rewatch!

I would prefer that he stay dead. Not because I don’t like him, on the contrary, his sacrifice was one of the most meaningful in recent star wars media. To bring him back would undermine that and it’s a way overused trope that’s getting old. However, I may not mind him returning if he is changed. I thought Maul’s return in TCW was brilliant because he was twisted and broken (it scared me as a kid). Vader, who by all rights probably shouldn’t have survived became a machine, and the face of evil in the Empire, lacking his former youth, agility, and humanity. But when characters “die” or survive usually fatal injuries (grand inquisitor, Reva, Sabine,etc), and aren’t changed, it’s just an inconvenience, is not meaningful at all. If tech becomes an unfeeling robot, or seems unfeeling but it actually being tortured and broken on the inside, showing the cost of artificially extending life could have some meaningful story value (plus pulling on heartstrings). Sorry for the rant.

I remember when you talked about Tech's death last year. I made the comment of, just like Mavel comics. Tech will somehow survived his fall.

I thought it was a reach to presume he survived the fall… … but those were all very good points. Plus now that I see that new black armored clone trooper in the trailer… I think Hemlock has made Tech an imperial asset…

Loving the 2nd season of TBB, still watching the last half of the season. I highly enjoy all of the characters (Tech is amazing and stands out for me more now) and the interactions , they are growing on me in a positive way like the SW: Rebels characters did. I like the treasure hunting focus in the episodes with Phee Genoa, had a bit of an Indiana Jones/archaeology feel, which I enjoyed. Somethig different from going into areas controlled by the Empire and getting trapped there ... If Tech survived somehow it would be immense bacta therapy combined with General Grievous/Darth Vader level prosthetics ...

Tech coming back is even less a surprise than Jon Snow coming back -- and that wasn't a surprise at all

I really hope you are right!

If they bring him back it disregards his sacrifice😭

Man this video is making me miss tech. I loved his scenes in season 2

the supports for the track go all the way to the ground it is possible tech is alive not badly hurt and ditched his goggles and parts of his armor to fake his death he could be in hideing waiting for back up.

I had a thought of seeing Tech leading a Generation of Phase 0 Dark Troopers

I hope tech gets saved by the bad batch and the mind control goes away. But in the final season the bad batch and the clones retire in the vacation planet

He landed into an empire pillow making factory 🏭 & yes They also manufacture military grade trampolines 🤫

Even though phee and tech weren't together officially, the time they did have was great while it lasted.

i'm skeptical he's coming back, but he might. i personally think they showed us a more human side of him, so it hurt more when he sacrificed himself.
