"Polarization"
Regardless of his fate - his memory lives on.
So, THAT Clone X trooper...
is 100% definitely, undoubtedly Tech, yeah?
I mean, physically/literally:
His accent is different under the voice modulation
I stg those pained grunts as he lifted the stones were pure Tech
He runs in Creature Posture
The pocketses
He still doesn't give a fuck about following orders
But also narratively:
The lingering closeups whenever he's about to act in regard to the Batch. Is it consideration? Hesitation? They sure want us to wonder.
The story's repeated emphasis on Crosshair being able to anticipate his moves, and the way they match each other beat for beat the whole way down.
The fucking intimacy of the way he almost kills Crosshair. I mean the whole physicality of the fight, but especially the way Clone X had to stare into his eyes while he drowned him.
Why, as a writer, would you waste those story beats on someone who had no personal significance to the Batch? You just wouldn't.
Echo: They're my EARS, Tech...
Tech: And these are children. I thought that was obvious.
(Not sure if this idea has been floated already, I'm relatively new to tumblr)
I'm convinced the finale is going to have plenty of callbacks to the Bad Batch's intro story in TCW (I mean, we've already gotten a few callbacks).
So...
Since Tech was the one who directly helped Rex find and retrieve Echo, and then carried Echo through the shafts...
What if Echo is the one to find Tech and carry him out of Tantiss???
I really want to see Bayrn turn into a force wielding version of Jack Jack.
Imagine these stormtroopers who think they can all handle a baby and then
There are too many parallels for that trooper to not be tech:
the familiar grunting while moving heavy rocks
the “left femur crushed by approximately 150kg of pressure”
the getting thrown off a waterfall and flopping dramatically onto the rocks
the 180 degree turn with zero thrusters in the ship as it landed
the reliance on, and frustration with his technology
the precise and clipped tone of voice
Send help
I'm going to miss them so much 😭

Update:
Btw the gif is from the movie Gone in 60 seconds.
The plot of said movie:
A retired car thief revives his team of professionals as he is compelled to steal fifty top-notch vehicles in one night if he wishes to see his brother alive.
