Been thinking, ever since I saw the Bad Batch S3 trailer, about how uncomfortable Rex might have felt stopping wearing his pauldron. I can’t help but think he wouldn’t have given it up lightly, what with it saving his life on Saleucami and being such an intrinsic part of his identity. So I came up with this little moment where it’s broken and he’s adjusting to life without it, flashing back to getting shot because that has to have lingered all this time.
Takes a bit of getting used to seeing him without it…
