Echo's initial experiences with CF99
He might need to lie down afterwards.
Thank you @boredzum-671 for posting the really funny meme. I had to redraw it with them after seeing it.

Sketchy sketch of Tech and a zillo beast from this suggestions from @nika6q
(Low key really want to draw more of Tech and the Zillo because I think itâs a fun idea.)
Love this and I need more in my life
Needs Crosshair looking disgusted that Tech has a bigger pet than he does.
Also Hunter getting a migraine.
New universal avatar everywhere of my beloved boy :) wasn't gonna post it but im too excited to. And now i can vanish again into the void LOL
THE BAD BATCH + techâs nicknames
Fans: âHey can we get a clone Rebellion show?â
Disney: âHereâs a Darth Maul TV show!â
Fans: âThat looks cool, but can we get a Clone Rebellion show?â
Disney: âHere is Visions season 3!â
Fans: âAgain, looks awesome, but where is the Clone Rebellion show. The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch obviously sets that kinda thing up.
Disney: âŠ
Fans: âŠ
Disney: âŠ
Disney: âRyan Gosling?â
Missing Tech đ
For those curious how a Tech Turn âą would work on a horse when I posted this đŽâšđ€
No thoughts. Just Tech smiling after being told he did a good job.
listen u can't tell me Tech saw Echo return w a droid arm and didn't try to give his brother a new one loaded with a bunch of ridiculous tools and stuff
The Impact of Techâs Sacrifice within the Fandom
An analysis of why it sparked so much controversy and possible solutions on how that could have been avoided.
A Disclaimer about this analysis:
Before I go into detail about how Disney handled Techâs death in both Season 2 and Season 3, I want to clearly state that I love the Bad Batch.
This story and the characters grabbed my heart instantly and S1 got me through the darkest years of my life after my brother passed way. The amount of gratitude I have for those who put this beautifully animated series goes beyond words.
My analysis isnât an attack on the creators, writers, animators, etc. I believe that many episodes throughout all 3 seasons are some of the best written stories in all of Star Wars. The animation itself is awe inspiring and the soundtrack is a work of art.
However, one can still love a show while also having valid criticisms.
This analysis is strictly concerning the nature of Techâs sacrifice in the series. The questions of why it happened, when it happened, how it was handled, and what was the detrimental affect on a particular group within the fan base were all factored in.
I have placed my personal feelings aside for the sake of offering a fair assessment of Techâs sacrifice within the series. With complete neutrality, I have spent a great deal of analytical thought regarding the controversy and it has allowed me to provide a few alternate solutions to how it could have been avoided.
The heart of the debate:
After the conclusion of season 2, Techâs sacrifice has become one of the most emotionally painful losses in all of Star Wars and started one of the most heated debates within the fandom.
Is he alive or did he really die on Eriadu? After analyzing every scene and dissecting the overall narrative within the Bad Bad Batch, there was plenty of evidence that it could be interpreted either way.
Techâs sacrifice was undeniably heroic. He gave his life without hesitation in order to save both his squad and his family. It secured their survival and thus their eventual success in season 3. There could be no greater act of love.
Neither side of âTech is alive or Tech needs to remain deadâ would deny this.
However, the fact remains that the circumstances surrounding Techâs sacrifice did spark debate regardless. Therefore, Iâve come up with a few possible ways that Techâs sacrifice would have less room for speculation:
My five cents on Techâs fate in TBB
Itâs been over three weeks since the show ended and Iâve been writing this in my head ever since, mostly to have it summed up in one post for posterity lol. I considered letting it go at this point but I know itâll drive me crazy if I donât get it out of my system so might as well.
So here we go, some of my rambly post-finale thoughts on Techâs death (and a few other issues) under the cut!
Disclaimer: while this post is in critical spirit (because thatâs how my brain works), I want to make clear that I have nothing but respect and gratitude towards everyone whoâs worked on the show. My criticisms are of the final story as a whole as I interpret it (art is art, everything is subjective, you know the drill), but one never knows what goes into the process of making it behind the scenes, so Iâm not holding anything against the creative team. I love this show dearly and am in awe of how good it is at its best, despite certain things I wish they did differently.
THIS THIS THIS THIS
The funny thing about Tech's "death" is that it's so flimsy you can actually bring him back in fic while staying completely canon compliant. We cut off directly after the Hemlock situation - you can bring him back in any way you want here.
What about the time skip? Well what the hell did it actually show us?
Omega didn't tell Hunter to keep an eye on Tech along with the other two. (She didn't mention Echo either.) You can excuse this a dozen ways. Tech keeps an eye on himself. He's with Phee much of the time and so not under Hunters Direct Responsibility. He didn't need to have an eye kept on him because he agreed with her decision to join the rebellion and the other two didn't. He's already actually WITH the rebellion.
You can come up with just as many reasons for her to still have his goggles - they're a good luck charm since it turned out he survived, they're a remembrance of how much was sacrificed because even without him being dead he was gone for a long while, they're just sentimental now because of the love they represent, Omega didn't feel right getting rid of them.
This isn't a "Oh canon is totally implying-" I know what canon is saying. But Star Wars itself has retconned much bigger things than this. You can absolutely consider your fic canon compliant and have a surviving Tech returning to his family. It at most contradicts authorial intent, not what's actually onscreen.
Bad Batch cadets could have their own show
Tech never died. What are you talking about? Heâs living on Pabu with his brothers, helping to raise Omega as it should be
Like, okay, here's the thing.
We spend an entire sequence with Phee on a random moon where CX-2 sneaks onto her ship, steals data, stares at her, then sneaks off. None of that scene was necessary, at all. It could have been handled in his conversation with Hemlock the same way the interaction with Cid was.
It wasn't. We see Phee's ship for the first time, we listen to her argue with Mel, we see her have a security measure that CX-2 actually trips (to his obvious annoyance), watch her realize CX-2 is there (though she doesn't catch him). And then rather than leave, he stays to watch her go.
This whole scene is over 3 minutes. That's a big piece when the entire episode is 20m long. Why is this here?
It's not because CX-2 is no one. If he was, this scene wouldn't be here.
my official apology for that sad hunter art, his siblings love him ok
