I would've thought that Crosshair's shaky hand was a result of his defective failed shadow clone operative conditioning. From what I've heard from fans that they think the operative might be Tech due to his wording & that unlike other operatives, this one has a pull-up/down antenna on his helmet. I was surprised to find out Wolffe is still part of the Empire, but I'm curious as to what will finally cause him to turn & how he becomes a bit more paranoid like how he was in Rebels
Glad we went back to Teth after seeing it in The Clone Wars (in the movie and the episode with Ziro the Hutt and Sy Snootles) and in the first of three flashbacks in the fifth episode of Ahsoka.
Wolfe's disbelief that the Empire would abuse the clones shows a bit of judgement problem, which problem he still had by "SW: Rebels". Not sure it's deliberate by the writers. Months before, the emperor publicly trashed the clones after denouncing Admiral Rampart. It's hard to miss the note of disposable-ness in that. I see the writers are still having morbid fun giving disposable clones names that reflect their demise: Fireball dies when a grenade (ball) rolls into the fire.
Tech is alive getting reprogrammed on Tantis. Hemlock siphoned of Crosshairs sharp shooting skills and infused it in the Shadow clone. Whats up with Hunter? The dog is a better sensor of danger. Omega and Crosshair are closer than ever.
At the end of the day, clones are still superior soldiers lol. That's why they're still used in the most important missions where combat effectiveness is prioritised. The only problem with clones is that they're expensive and dwindling in number. Stormtroopers are ultimately just canon fodder, contributing numbers and that's about it.
I hope the imperial clone operative who survived the waterfall at the end is not Tech. After some people complain Star Wars can’t move past upset fans after they kill characters only to bring them back (Ahsoka, Ventress, Maul, Boba, Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth, Luke, etc.), I’d prefer the crew of The Bad Batch stick to their guns and keep Tech dead. Also, the clues are all there that it’s Cody, the first clue being the vibroblade he used in S2 of Bad Batch making a return in this episode when that clone operative wields it, and the second clue being Crosshair saying the Empire could not be able to brainwash and condition defective clones on Tantiss. It has to be Cody.
First, much love, it’s dope we all like the show enough to have theories. Second, Crosshair did NOT say only Regs can be the shadow assassins. What he said was that HE, Crosshair, was “too defective” for it. Third, and most important: it makes no narrative sense at all for the assassin to be Cody. It just doesn’t. Last we saw Cody, he was beginning to question things and seemed to be clearly considering going AWOL. if I remember correctly, after that it’s either said or implied offscreen that Cody went AWOL. So he went from that…to a shadow assassin? There’s at least one narrative step missing there. And remember, this isn’t the Clone Wars, or the Prequels. This isn’t Cody and Rex’s show, it’s the Bad Batch’s. They’re not writing this show with a baked in expectation of the audience being invested in earlier characters. Tech is where the heart is, that’s what’s been carefully set up going back to even before his sacrifice, with the assassin storyline being introduced and showing all the experimenting on captured clones earlier in the series.
@@goldsearcher7606I think what you mean is “I want it to be Cody.” Did coming back ruin Ahsoka? Maul? Rex? On and and on. This is Star Wars. This is what we do here.
@@dindjarin4009The people of the press who saw screeners of the first 8 episodes. One of them said next week’s episode is the one where we will see Fennec Shand return.
After the first three very good episodes, it all fell apart a bit. I hope these long-winded last 4 episodes lead to something, because I'm getting bored.
