Are You Ever Just Randomly Scrolling And Get Reminded That Hey, Tech Is Kinda Dead! I Still Think They’ll

Commission for @miimyn ! 💕

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

You chose the wrong side

First, I am so glad I’m not alone in this. I cannot view CX-2 without the subtext that he is Tech’s body. Part of me wants to hope that maybe in a tales of the clones we’ll get some more CX-2 but I really don’t know.

I think the way he was killed was the show telling us that there was none of the old Tech left in him, his body was simply reanimated and Hunter killing him was symbolically putting an end to the horrible tool Hemlock had turned him into. (I also think Crosshair knew he was Tech, he kept glancing back at him after he died)

But there could have been a fragment of Tech still in there, and we’ll never know. And that’s what i think was lost in a reveal. They left us with the haunting idea that he could have been Tech, and that was it.

That being said, I got to meet Dee Bradley Baker at a con recently, and guys I wanted answers. I told him I really thought CX-2 was Tech (meant to say I really think he was Tech), and he immediately said “Oh, a lot of people did. But I’m glad he wasn’t.” OH OUCH that instantly crushed me! He proceeded to talk about how he wanted Tech to have his heroic moment, and that he believed his sacrifice was good.

And how do you respond to that 😭

I’m glad he was satisfied with the ending of his character, but to me that doesn’t mean CX-2 wasn’t supposed to be him at one point, and he’s glad they didn’t go that direction. Heck, let’s take a leap here and say maybe he recorded voice lines for a reveal that was scrapped and he’s glad it didn’t happen that way. Cause let’s be real, Tech being CX-2 it is a horribly sad thing, and a heroic sacrifice is a much better ending for the character than mind controlled imperial soldier, so I don’t blame Dee for not wanting that.

In conclusion, no one will ever be able to convince me CX-2 wasn’t Tech, even Dee Bradley Baker

(I do need to say he was a very lovely man and we talked about other characters too)

So. I’m. Haunted by the lighting and posing on the CX-2 poster, haunted by the fact that no one will straight up say that Tech is dead or that he wasn’t CX-2, wondering if the CX-Tech plot wasn’t dropped after all, and hoping against hope that they’re putting this man through the wringer so they can pull him out and give him the happiest possible ending. CX-2 had BETTER be in the next series and he had better be Tech, because I need this to make sense. I mean, I’ll buy that the spear symbolically killed the CX-2 persona. I’ll buy, “Oh, he had to be Crosshair’s shadow in the last third of this series but we had to foreshadow him being Tech in the next one.” “The damage you sustained on Skako Minor all of your behavioral modifications,” coming back around. I’ll buy someone surviving that in the GFFA because they can in the real world (warning for a picture of a real life injury in the link). I’ll even buy that the electricity didn’t kill him because the boulders and the waterfall definitely should have (and it’s Star Wars). I really do not care about plausible survivability. I just want the story to make sense and for Tech to get back to his family.

Anyway all I’m saying is why release a poster that’s going to fuel speculation about a guy whose face we never see after the series is done and out? If you actually dropped that plot, why not change the poster? Or just not release it? Why do this? What is the purpose of this?? Because if the purpose was to drive me, specifically, insane, then congratulations, Lucasfilm! Mission accomplished.
