Bad Batch Season 3 - Blog Posts

I've watched it like 5 times, and I don't really rewatch episodes normally, so I think this is an accurate statement.

i think we can all collectively agree that ep 5 the return is now The comfort episode, right?

i mean… we got so many things. echo came back, we got a little chuckle and a smile out of crosshair, his old armor, hunter and crosshair bickering (again) and the batch becoming whole again 🥹🥹

Preach it!

A couple points of note before we venture into Bad Batch season 3 tomorrow...

Let us remember a few things before Bad Batch season 3 begins tomorrow.

It is NOT Dave Filoni that we "blame" for any emotional trauma. It is Jennifer Corbett and Brad Rau 😝 He may be one of the executive producers, but Filoni hasn't been involved in the writing of this show since the pilot, it's all Jennifer and Brad.

Our theories/headcanons are NOT canon! Which also means that if your theories don't pan out, it's NOT "bad writing". WE are not the tellers of this story, we are the receivers of it. We do not determine how this season is going to go. That is Jennifer, Brad and Lucasfilm. So don't get mad and pissy if certain theories don't happen or if things didn't go the way you thought they would. (Unless anyone dies, then you have every right to be mad 😝)

BE! PATIENT!! If we haven't seen certain characters in a while...be patient. They might show up in the next episode or two. You never know. If we haven't had certain questions answered yet...be patient. They'll most likely get answered in time. There are 16 episodes, so not everything is gonna happen at once. It's okay to wonder, but don't be getting mad that certain things haven't happened yet. We've got a couple months of this and it's gonna be a very long ride if you're not patient!

If things happen in the show that you don't agree with, but other people do, don't be rude about it. Either just keep scrolling and don't engage with discussions about those topics if you're not gonna be nice about them or just block the posts/people who talk about them. It's not that hard!

ACT YOUR AGE!! A good majority of us in this fandom are adults. ACT like adults and don't get pissy about things. Get as emotional as you want (cuz we all know it's inevitable), but still be mature about it all. Follow all of the above points and you should be fine. Don't be hateful, don't be rude, don't act like you're better than anyone, etc.

If anyone has other things they think the fandom needs reminding of before tomorrow, feel free to add them!

Otherwise...once more unto the breach, my friends 🥺 We're in for a long, emotional ride, so let's get through it together!

And what did you expect from the series called The Dad Batch?

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

I want more

Crosshair didn’t want to believe it the moment he stepped inside the Marauder. When Omega told him of Plan 99 during their time on Tantiss, and with Tech not making it…he refused to believe her.

There was no way his vod’ika, who always had a brilliant idea for every situation they went through was just…gone. Just like that. Crosshair can hear Tech’s voice echoing in his head, one that would haunt him for the rest of his life as Crosshair felt himself beginning to crack.

A little late posting this but here’s Crosshair!

I still can’t get over the fact with that thing around his head looking like a toilet seat! 🤣🤣🤣 I need to draw more of Omega and Crosshair content, those two are such an iconic duo!

“I’m the trace that you leave when you’re just out of reach.”

(how to grieve by simon robert french)

me yelling at the tv when crosshair pulled the “I deserve this” card to try & go into the base alone

“why aren’t you worried about the finale?”

“echos on it.”

it’s tbb eve… i’m not ready to say goodbye to them yet😭

“i’m helping him, he’ll be okay” “it wasn’t enough”

this pic is so funny to me cause it looks like crosshair is arguing, hunter is giving MAD d34th stare and tech looks like he’s judging your shoe choice 😭

something like “well that wasn’t a very appropriate choice of footwear for this climate”😭

goodmorning here’s EVEN MORE bad batch stills feat crosshairs face card 💳

*me grabbing crosshair by his shoulders and yelling in his face* YOU BETTER NOT D!3 IN THE FINAL EPISODE DO YOU UNDERSTAND

goodmorning to the face card that NEVER declines 🗣️

🗣️‼️‼️SMALL BAD BATCH S3 EP14 SPOILER🗣️‼️‼️

i bet 10 bucks that as SOON as omega saw that giant laser beam she was like YEP that’s my plan

happy bad batch day to one of my fave characters that’s alive & well & will make a surprise appearance🫶🏻 (feed my delusions please)

just wanted to let y’all know that i’m still going through every stage of grief over tech I MISS HIM BRING HIM BACK NOW

yet again showing y’all more of my fave bad batch stills on this fine morning

more of my fave bad batch stills for y’all

goodmorning to my fave bad batch stills

THIS EPISODE HAD ME STRESSED OUT OF MY FUCKING MIND😭💀

Grew a couple of grey hairs but yk !!✌️🤩 wtv !! im fine !!

THEY ARE ALL SO HOT. GOD. MOVE OVER RAMFART IT’S MY TURN.

AND FUCK YEAAA THEYRE GOING TO TANTISS!!! imagine Omega escapes before they siege the mountain tho. and so like. when they do go in she isn’t there. she’s gone. she’s made it out. but they don’t know that so they go in, guns a blazing, just for them to be informed that she isn’t there anymore. And like. They get captured. It all goes wrong.

And Omega doesn’t know.

She won’t know.

not for a very, very long time.

ANYWAY IM GOING TO BED GOOD NIGHT THIS EPISODE WAS SEXY

TBB SEASON 3 SPOILERS

HEADS UP- I WILL BE TAGGING EACH OF MY EPISODE REVIEW THINGS WITH “tbb s3 spoilers”, AND OTHER SPOILER TAGS, PLEASE BLOCK THESE TAGS SO U DONT GET SPOILED!!!

AHHHHH OMEGA MY BABY. She has a pony tail stoppp my child is all grown up I will cry. Ok but she ate the new hairstyle she is slaying.

ERGH SHE HAS BEEN THERE 150 DAYS. Sick and twisted. She contrasts SO heavily with the whole sterile, orderly environment, it’s literally heartbreaking to watch. Forced into this mindless routine, her hopeful attitude constantly being beaten down on?? HURTING. GET HER OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE.

GOD seeing Crosshair look so broken BROKE ME. His shaking hands??? They took away the ONE thing he still had- his superior sniping skills, his steady hand. They took that AWAY from him. FUCKED UP. THEY TORE HIM DOWN. I can’t I’m so sad.

DADDY’S HOMEEEJWJWISNWIANQOQOQB (Hunter was on screen for the first time this season) (He is SO FINE)(MY HUSBAND HAS RETURNED FROM HIS HIATUS IN A TRAUMATIZED STATE BUT NONETHELESS HAS RETURNED TO GRACE MY SCREEN AND BE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE)

I had a horrible sense of dread overtake my body when he said something like “our mission isn’t over yet”… like idk I felt so ILL. PAIN. WHY do I have the feeling my man isn’t going to make it SHUT UP.

ALSO HIM MAKING RECKLESS DECISIONS???? The kidnapping of his daughter and the death of his brother have done a NUMBER on this man.

WRECKER my cutie patootie!! Yk it’s bad when Wrecker starts to become a voice of reason (which, Hunter in his desperate mindset, promptly ignores 😭)

HAHBANQKNSJQQKO CROSSHAIR IS SO FUNNY DURING HIS ESCAPE WITH OMEGA- literal snark fest

Need Omega bullying a mouse droid on repeat.

Stop mouse droid bullying 😭

OOOO NALA SE’S WARNING TO OMEGA TO LEAVE?? I’m scared. And Omega ate it up tho. She said “say less lmao I’m gone ✌️”.

Did palpy not feel a disturbance into the force. Was bro so into the “project Necromancer deets” he couldn’t tell his vessel was peacing out. Common Palpy L.

RUN OMEGA TAKE YOUR SARCASTIC BROTHER WITH U

JUST A GIRL AND HER DOG AND HER GRUMPY BROTHER EHEHEHEHE

OUGAHHH OK OK IM BOUNCING AROUND EPISODES HERE BUT STAY WITH ME

WHEN CROSSHAIR SAID “forget the hound, Omega.”, it lowkey felt like he was talking about himself. He was telling her to forget him, he was a broken animal, with no point in nurturing back to health. She needs to give up on him if she wants to move forward. BUT SHE DIDNT BECAUSE MAMA DIDNT RAISE NO UNLOYAL LOSER. NO. OMEGA IS THE REALEST ONEEEEE.

EMERIE you confuse me. I hate u yet am intrigued by u. Looking forward to her character development ahhhh.

HUNTER MY POOKIE BEAR BACK TO HIM BC that man was doing FLIPS chopping off the eldritch horror vines. They snatched his brother and he said “hell naw hoe let go of my BRO” and just. Went to town. Me when Hunter exists 🎉🎉🎉🎉

OH OU OH IHHIWHAIANQO ALSO THE MYSTERY GUY IN THE GREEN TACTICAL ARMOR?? IS THE ONE DOING THE “TORTURE” OR WHATEVER TO CROSSHAIR AND THAT GROUP OF CLONES??? If that’s really tech I’m gonna scream. You’re telling me he’s torturing his own brother. Tech would never even THINK about doing shit like that the man just wants to read nerdy newspapers. Desecration of the nerd lifestyle. OK I REALLY HOPE ITS HIM. LIKE I REALLY DO. OOO PLEASE I WILL CRY. WHY ELSE WOULD THEY SHOW THIS MYSTERY CLONE. NO NEED. IT HAS TO BE BROWN EYES (delusion).

OK I AM SO TIRED MY HEAD HURTS MY LIFE IS CHANGING Jesse we need to cook (I need to make tbb art) BUT I AM GOING TO BED FIRST

Hunter looking absolutely gorgeous while crosshairs folded over like a ragdoll 💀

I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I’ll ever get over this 🙂🙂🙂

“Why have I been activated?”

Cosplay by me!

Photographer: IG @maddyhobbsphoto

I met Dee Bradley Baker!! (In Echo cosplay!)

I had voice memo recording in my pocket while I was talking to him, so I got most of what he said and wanted to share!

I brought up CX-2 (cause I had to) and said that he was a really intriguing character and that I wanted to cosplay him next and he said:

“Oh! Yeah, really scary. That was a weird one to play, cause I did a slower clone voice but they fudged it some so it sounds different. Really lethal, frightening”

We also touched on Crosshair and Echo having really incredible stories after I mentioned they were my favorite.

Then this was his response to me telling him I really thought CX-2 was Tech (which crushed me a bit inside 🫠) :

“Oh a lot of people did. I’m glad he wasn’t. I want Tech to have his heroic moment. The ending that every clone wish they had. That you save your colleagues…it’s brilliant, the way he figures it all out, he makes the long shot, and it was good.”

My heart literally dropped when he said “I’m glad he wasn’t” like OH ouch (even though I 100% still believe CX-2 was Tech and Dee’s just glad it was never confirmed to be him)

Being so honest: I felt a bit empty after the autograph interaction after I’d had so much anxiety leading up to meeting him, but in retrospect he was very nice!! He said he was impressed with my armor and took a picture of me, which is crazy what do you mean I’m on his camera roll-

I saw him again later to get a picture, and I said “Thanks for the hand!” (my friend suggested I say that) And he smiled and said “that’s a great line” which was a very nice close to the interaction.

Here’s the autograph, he signed my scomp arm!!

CX-2 angst 💕 cause I’m going insane waiting for the reveal you guys

I don’t normally post traditional art on here, but the parasites possessed me to draw ☺️ so enjoy

My Bad Batch Playlists

Hey tech girlies (gn)

I needed to share to feed the delusions together

Yes, Tech x Phee is 90% Abba

So I was thinking about CX-2 (Tech’s) memory

Like he has all of his old skills like encryption and flying a ship but didn’t remember the location to Pabu

But there are those moments of hesitation around Omega and Phee, deja vu perhaps…

And head trauma from The Fall could have caused most of this amnesia

But… what if Hemlock did something to Tech like what the capitol did to Peeta in Mockingjay?

Where they twisted his good memories so when he saw Katniss he wanted to kill her

…And that also got me thinking of a Real or Not Real interaction between Tech and Phee…

*cough* Someone write this… @clownery-and-fuckery I’m looking at you *cough*

Okay I changed my mind:

So Ventress and Crosshair are seriously my two favorite Star Wars characters so seeing them interact at all had me freaking out screaming

There was definitely some specific attention on them but I think it was just the writers acknowledging that they’re really similar characters. Especially with what Omega said to Crosshair, that people can change. Both Cross and Ventress have pasts they’re not proud of, but they’ve grown a lot as characters. Crosshair saw Tech’s files, he knows the things she’s done, yet he still offers her a hand. So I see it as a moment of solidarity between them. And I think that was really cool to include.

But romantically? First of all, she did not care about any of them (except maybe omega a tiny bit) and I doubt we’ll see her again this season. It was very entertaining to see her beat Crosshair’s ass and I did squeal when she had him pinned to the ground but like it was a fight. Could he have had a tiny crush on her? Maybe, cause yknow, Ventress is hot, but honestly I’m really starting to see the vision with queer coded Crosshair. Either way, I don’t think Crosshair is her type, I think she likes em a bit more rugged. Like have you seen Quinlan Vos? He was also a total golden retriever bf which is the opposite of Crosshair. Him and Ventress are just too similar- they’d kill each other trying to one up the other in attitude.

In conclusion, I love them, but I personally don’t see them being romantical and thanks for reading my rambles :)
