Here’s a quick little digital art piece of my favorite SW droid BD-1 (aside for Chopper that is) in celebration of May the 4th.

There’s nothing much else to say except…May the Fourth be with you!

Happy May the Fourth, everyone! ❤️

In celebration of this most glorious day, I would like to share a piece of art with you. Recently, I came across some artwork depicting the Bad Batchers as animals (which I think is absolutely adorable!) and was inspired to create my own.

I give you… Crosshair as a horse! Horses have always held a special place in my heart. I plan to do a whole series of the Batchers as horses. Next up: Tech!

Beautiful! ❤️

I imagine Crosshair would be the “Hurt her and I’ll kill you” type.

Fan art of Crosshair and an OC named Elayna, who was created by @techsbrowneyes , @crosshairct4, and I.

Not as detailed as my last piece, but I’m trying out different styles to see which ones I like working with.

What a lovely little family! ❤️

I’m not much of an artist, and I suck at shading, but I just had to do something of Phee and Tech. I love them so much ❤️

In my newest one-shot, Changes, I gave them a son. His name is Hunter Racer Genoa, but everyone just calls him Racer. He’s got his father’s intelligence and his mother’s spunk. Oh, and let’s not forget that adorable head of curls :)

I started on this piece a week or so ago, but I’m an over-thinker and fretted over even the smallest details. Since then I’ve worked on more Bad Batch art that I might post. I’m addicted to creating anything AU where the Bad Batch is content and living life to the fullest on Pabu.

*Crosshair, teaching Omega how to shoot his sniper rifle*

Crosshair: Aim for Hunter’s feet.

Omega, horrified: But… why?!

Crosshair: Let’s scare the bejeezus out of him.

We stand behind you, Temuera. ❤️

Dear Temuera Morrison,

Disney as a company doesn’t deserve your dedication and skill as an actor. You do not deserve to be sidelined. But you also deserve to be part of better projects: to work with directors that listen, creators who are passionate about and familiar with their material. Stories that know what they’re doing.

We as a fandom know that and appreciate you accordingly. You will always be the best and only Jango Fett and every clone character we’ve ever known and loved.

Love, the fandom ❤️

EVERYONE STOP AND LOOK AT THIS PIC OF CROSS I FOUND

I believe I can flyyy

I feel the same way.

I know everyone can’t have the happy ending they deserve, but am I the only one not satisfied with the Mando finale simply because it seems unfair in the face of the BB finale? The Bad Batch deserved better.

Rewatching The Bad Batch for the millionth time. It never gets old.

Ooh, interesting… very interesting.

Proof that Tech has more than one pair of goggles.

Scene from TBB S1 pilot

Just a simple Bad Batch fanfiction.

This is how I imagine Crosshair will react when Omega tells him about Tech.

Title: It's Okay To Cry

Word count: 854

It was dark and it was cold. His fingers felt numb, as did his heart, which beat listlessly inside of his emaciated chest. He felt a warm hand on his cheek, and then heard a familiar voice:

“Crosshair… Crosshair, wake up… I need you.”

He groaned. How long had he been in this terrible place? It was difficult to say, but he had a ready answer in his head: too long.

The voice persisted.

“Crosshair… please.”

His eyes flickered. A familiar face swam into view, creased with pain and grief and hopelessness. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came. His throat felt dry.

“Crosshair, you're awake.”

He sat up. He was in that kriffing cell again. Omega stood over him. He saw tear tracks on her face and knew she'd been crying. “So they caught you. I warned you to stay away… why… why didn't you listen?” he asked. His disappointment was immeasurable. Why couldn't his brothers and sister just follow orders? Why was it so difficult for them?

Omega touched his shoulder. “Because we’re family. We don't leave our own behind.”

His eyes got a little misty. He looked quickly away, afraid she would see how moved he was by her words. He had to maintain a stern front lest she glimpse the now fractured soul within him.

“We have to get out of here,” she said, grabbing his hand and tugging on it.

“I'm too weak,” he protested. The very thought of attempting an escape seemed to sap him of what little strength he had left. He didn't think he could make it. Worse, he didn't think he'd be able to protect Omega. “How long have you been here?” he asked.

“That doesn't matter,” she answered, taking a seat next to him. “What matters is that we’re together now. I can save you.”

Crosshair passed a hand over his eyes. Even after all he'd done, she was still willing to save him. He didn't understand it. Glancing over at her, he smiled a little, weary and doubtful though he was. He no longer felt alone, no longer felt as though the weight of the world balanced heavily on his shoulders. He decided then and there that he would help Omega escape Mount Tantiss, damn the risks. She didn't deserve to be trapped in this terrible, forsaken place.

“You're right, you know. We must get out of here,” he said.

“But how?” she asked.

Crosshair rested his chin on the palm of his hand. He had a lot of planning to do. He closed his eyes and began to bounce his knee, wracking his brain for ideas. He had a duty to protect Omega at all costs. He would lay down his life for her, if need be. “We wait for the opportune moment,” he told her calmly. He knew it would come. A little dose of patience was all that was needed.

Omega plopped down next to him with an audible huff which ended in a wince. She had cuts and bruises all over her face and she was limping. He wondered about her injuries, but only briefly; his mind was soon filled with their future escape attempt and he could think of nothing else but leaving this place far behind.

Omega tentatively rested her head against his arm. He didn't know how to respond to that and so he simply settled a hand on her knee and gave it a little squeeze.

“I will get you out of here,” he vowed softly.

“I know,” she murmured, sounding exhausted. “I know…”

“If Tech were here,” he muttered more to himself than to Omega, “he would know what to do.”

Omega dropped her gaze and her lip wobbled, something that wasn't missed by Crosshair. His heart gave a painful lurch. He turned to her and, kneeling down, took her shoulders between his hands. He saw pain in her expression. Something had happened.

“Crosshair, Tech… Tech’s gone,” Omega whispered, lifting her head and meeting his gaze. Her eyes were full of pain.

“Gone? What do you mean?”

“He…. Plan 99.”

All at once, Crosshair was hit with a multitude of emotions. He knew a pain so fierce and powerful, he had to sit down. He didn't want to believe it. Tech… the brother he loved most. The brother who understood him.

Tears stung his eyes and he quickly dashed a hand across his face before Omega could see. It was no use. She saw anyway. She sat next to him and took his hand, administering a gentle, comforting squeeze.

“It's okay to cry,” she told him in a voice trembling with grief.

Crosshair put his head in his hands and wept. He didn't hold back. Regret tormented him. Regret that he had chosen the Empire over his brothers. Had he been there when it happened… perhaps he could have saved Tech.

“He sacrificed himself for us,” Omega said softly. “We can't let that be in vain.”

Crosshair turned to her and nodded. No, they couldn't. They would escape Mount Tantiss. He would make sure of it.

I hope Crosshair grows his hair back in S3. I miss his hair.

“The Good Soldier”

This digital artwork of Crosshair is the newest edition to the Bad Batch fan art I’ve been working on.

I hope we see this tortured man find peace in S3. He certainly deserves it.

My hope has been somewhat restored. You guys… there’s a strong possibility Tech is indeed still alive. Just watch the panel… lots of hints. Maybe I’m just seeing and hearing what I want to see and hear but… Tech is still alive.

I am excited for S3. I hope we get to see the original Bad Batchers together again. I hope the wait isn’t too long. And… and I think we are indeed going to see a Clone rebellion.

What if we never get to see the five of them together again?

After TBB panel today, a little bit of hope died in me that Tech might still be alive. But with S3 being the last one, I can’t stand the thought of not getting to see the whole squad back together again. As far as I’m concerned, no ending will be acceptable except for an ending in which they are all present and alive. And final season or not, without Tech there is no show.

Once again The Bad Batch is getting pushed aside in favor of all of the other SW shows Disney is mass-producing. Season 2 originally had a 2022 release, several of them actually. But it just kept getting pushed further and further until finally it ended up coming out in 2023. It’s my firm belief it got delayed like that because of the many other major SW series that were released last year.

The result: Had we gotten S2 last year when it was promised to us, S3 would have been coming out this year, not 2024. I couldn’t possibly be content with a 2024 release date when we should have been getting the 3rd season this year. It’s honestly an outrage, especially since I’m sure the production is already complete.

After how long we had to wait for S2, I don’t feel like it was asking too much to have gotten S3 earlier.

And to add insult to injury, we don’t even know if it’s coming out in January or if we have to wait further into next year. The very least they could have done was given us an actual release date.

I need to go on a little rant here…

So we just got the news on S3. And it was good, but mostly bad. Unfortunately it’s not coming out until next year, and unfortunately, it’s the final season. I’m angry because I feel like The Bad Batch is always getting the short end of the stick. It’s always getting pushed back for all these other shows. Last year, S2 was supposed to have an early release date. But it got pushed back. Why? In favor of other shows.

All I want are my boys. Now I have to live an entire year on a cliffhanger. Dramatic, I know, but I’m angry. We the fans deserve to get S3 sooner. After all, we were made to wait for S2. I think it’s only fair. S3 is already finished. They showed a teaser for it at the celebration.

The worst of it is, we didn’t even get a clear release date. All we got is, oh it’s coming out in 2024.

Honestly, I don’t care about the other shows. All I want is The Bad Batch. I don’t know if there’s anyone else who feels this way, or if it’s just me and my sisters.

The Bad Batch deserves better.

Rant over.

I have spoken.

This is war.

Hear me out… I think there is indeed going to be a Clone rebellion in the next season of The Bad Batch. It’s one of the theories floating around out there that I 100% support.

Remember that little line of dialogue in episode 15 of season 2 where an Imperial officer (I forget his name and importance) says “And what happens if they [meaning the Clones] become aware of what's happening and take up arms against us?”. Dave Filoni likes to use foreshadowing an awful lot. I think this line is foreshadowing a Clone rebellion.

The Empire is going to regret ever messing with the Clones.

I can’t believe it’s been a week since the series finale of The Bad Batch season two… I’m still heartbroken. Still crying.

Clinging to the hope we’ll get some news on the third season soon. Any news, good or bad, is better than no news.

Reunion

*After escaping Mount Tantiss, Crosshair, Tech, and Omega exit the shuttle they stole from Hemlock to rendezvous with Hunter, Wrecker, and Echo*

*Wrecker gets all teary-eyed seeing Tech alive*

Hunter, to Tech: Y-you’re alive!

Tech: *adjusting his new goggles* Was there ever any doubt?

*Echo smiles*

Hunter, to Crosshair: It’s good to have you back, Cross.

Crosshair: *a slight smirk on his lips* Did you miss me?

I have a ton of theories as to what I think will happen in the third season of The Bad Batch. I’m a firm believer that Tech is not dead. There are many things pointing to this fact. I’m going to list them below. Things

1. Tech and Phee didn’t have a proper goodbye. He couldn’t even make eye contact with her. To me, their parting left much to be desired. Here’s how I look at it. Had they parted on better terms (a kiss on the cheek for example) his death would be more final. Since they didn’t part on good terms (so to speak), the door of their relationship is still wide open. There’s so much potential here.

2. I believe Hemlock took him. There’s a strong possibility they’re going to do an arc where Crosshair, Tech, and Omega attempt to escape Mount Tantiss together. I’m all for that. Crosshair and Tech are my boys. Them teaming up and working together would make my whole year. Let’s face it, Crosshair and Omega will need Tech to help them get out of there.

3. Tech’s goggles. Remember when Hunter said Tech’s always recording things? His goggles could reveal a lot. Hunter was too grief-stricken to even consider that. When his head’s more clear, he could realize this and use the goggles to find out what really happened that day, ultimately coming to discover his brother isn’t really dead.

4. Tech thought by severing the line, he was saving his brothers and sister. The car fell anyway. Basically, Tech’s sacrifice was for nothing. What kind of an end is that? It’s not fair. Tech deserves better. So Tech merely fell. His brothers and Omega crashed, sustaining serious injuries. That’s a huge difference, in my opinion. Hunter fell from a great height in season S1 E14 don’t you forget, and he was fine.

5. There’s no body. In the Star Wars universe, if there’s no body, then the person isn’t dead. Until I see a body, I’m going to cling to the hope that Tech is still alive.

I haven’t been okay since watching that episode… I had to pause it after Tech fell just to get a hold of myself, I was sobbing so hard. I feel as though I’ve lost a very dear friend. I had to share my theories whether anyone reads them or not. It’s a great weight off my chest.

I’m still thinking about that episode. Still depressed about it. Theorizing helps just a little bit. I hope Tech isn’t dead… I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
