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.
THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED
I don’t know where this “Tech and Crosshair are twins” thing came from but I’ll be working that into my belief system.
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.
Tech Goldfish has himself a new playmate!
Good Soldiers Follow Orders. Crosshair Panel for Megacon Orlando is finished!
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.

Hmm… Can that be Crosshair standing next to Hunter? Sure looks like him. 👀
We stand behind you, Temuera. ❤️
