I've finally gotten around to making a side blog for my Star Wars nonsense so that's what this is. Hello if you've managed to stumble across this weird corner of the internet. I'm currently hyperfixated on The Bad Batch so that's basically all that's going to be here, though some other Star Wars stuff will probably appear as well.

It's been a long time since I've interacted properly on Tumblr and I really don't know what I'm doing and I'm still not sure on what the proper etiquette for everything is so if I stuff up something, please gently let me know (I don't deal well with confrontation and upsetting people) and I'll fix it.

Current Projects

Watching The Clone Wars for the First Time

I've always meant to watch The Clone Wars, it's been on my To Watch list for ages, but for various reasons it just never happened. Time to fix that. I'm documenting my first watch through of The Clone Wars with reaction posts and I'm loving it so far. I've never watched Rebels either so once I've finished watching TCW then I'll do the same thing for Rebels.

Bad batch spoilers

I have a lot of feelings about the ending.

I'm happy and disappointed about the end of the Bad Batch.

I'm really happy about the ending but there's so many things missing or left to rot in the void of writing.

First, the Tech problem. To me, the end of this season just confirms they killed Tech for absolutely no reason besides that he was too competent. They could have solved so many problems if he was there, so they killed him off.

It's infuriating the way there's no payoffs to him "sacrificing" himself besides a few one off comments. Even Crosshair's lines about them not being clone force 99 anymore just feels off. These lines should have been at the beginning when they met back up with Hunter and Wrecker. It's coming at the end when they have rebuilt their relationship. And after they have acted like clone force 99 for much of the previous episode. It doesn't feel right.

I could even say the same thing with Echo. He may not be dead but the way they push him aside because every time he is on screen he is actually dealing with the problems, is troubling me. Legit comes on screen to deal with whatever problem and then leaves. When Echo is an essential member of the bad batch, this feels like bad writing. Only Barton IV seems like a good Echo episode.

HE DOESN'T EVEN SAY GOODBYE TO HIS BROTHERS WHEN HE LEAVES.

Cx-2 now. I think he was set up to be so much more but they gave him up because they lack time. They just killed him off ?? He had Tech's characteristics in so many ways [ I mean who the hell says "domicile" ?? ] But they did NOTHING with him. It's disappointing honestly.

Flash round:

- Why did they use Scorch if they were going to do jack shit with him ?? Legit is one of the coolest clones but instead of actually using him , he's just standing here.

- Thanks for using Wolffe for like one episode and never bringing it up again that's cool

- Same with Rex and Gregor. Cool I guess.

End of flash round :

It really does seem like, to me at least, that they didn't have time to finish a lot of what they wanted to do with this season.

I am however incredibly happy with the end Crosshair, Wrecker, Hunter and Omega have. Hopefully we'll see our little pilot in more shows from now on. I'm going to miss them despite the complicated feelings I have about the whole season 3.

No words, just feelings.

Something something, Crosshair losing his hand as a metaphor for how healing from trauma doesn't mean going back to who you were before it happened. Rather, it means letting go and becoming a new version of yourself.

Looking forward to that Chuchi surrounded by handsome clones spin-off.

[fiveholesinthefence]

didn’t echo’s armor get blown up in the Zillo Beast attack? Because he left it on that transport right? So, does that mean that was him ending his run with the bad batch and starting a clean slate with the rebellion?

[azertyrobaz]

You're our kid, Omega.

[sashketter]

I can’t believe Riyo Chuchi just collected clones for a harem in the open like that 🫡 the queen the absolute legend 👑
