Curate, connect, and discover
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.
