I’ve decided to post all of the progress here as well, not just on instagram. Some people have asked to be tagged once I post some progress, but I can’t remember who they were. So if you wanna see future progress, let me know and I’ll tag you!
This one may not look too different from the previous one, but nothing really turned out the way I intended to.
The colors, the textures, the focus, the sounds, the camera, everything just seems so off, and oh boy the animation… this is the result of rushing and not knowing what I’m doing, just inserting keyframes, tweaking the graph editor and hoping for the best. So maybe signing up for this project wasn’t a great idea after all lol. Plus the datapad’s not even fully textured, you can literally see where I started adding details on the front, then for some reason I just left off lol
One thing I’ll definitely work on in the future is the menu itself, because if this project is for a graphic design thesis, then I might as well try to make the only thing that has something to do with it look more presentable. I’ll definitely be changing up the fonts, and I have some other ideas for the background as well.
But for now, I’ll move on to the remaining 5 character menu animations. Originally there were gonna be 5, not 7. At first I was randomly picking out the characters I wanted to make one for, then I realized, it’d probably be best, if each squad got one animation. The 501st gets Rex, the 212th gets Cody, the CG gets Fox, the 104th gets Wolffe, and the 241st gets Tukk. CF99 got Hunter but I really wanted to make one for Tech as well, since modeling and texturing him took the longest 💀
Once all of that’s done, I can finally move on to animating the trailer video. Which I’m terrified of, but oh well lol
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.
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 ❤️
theyre like snuggling kittens

Crosshair: Aim for Hunter’s feet.
Omega, horrified: But… why?!
Crosshair: Let’s scare the bejeezus out of him.
I want them back ❀
Semi Spoiler for The Bad Batch . . So we saw that leak, and it destroyed us. Only thing I took from that was the first panel, then the rest was inspired. I've added some bittersweet comfort angst with some long overdue brotherly support.
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 just had to do something of our boys as little cadets. They look so cute and peaceful when they’re sleeping ❤️
