No, no, no, no, NO! Tech is NOT dead and you can’t convince me otherwise!
My proof you may ask? Well here you go…
Dr. Hemlock, while talking to Hunter, claimed that Tech’s broken goggles were all he could salvage. The shattered goggles had no blood, no crimson stains, and getting cut by glass will stain the glass with blood. Agreed? Also Tech was wearing a helmet when he fell, and his goggle are strapped around Tech’s head. How would his goggles come off his head and be the “only thing salvageable” if they were on Tech. Tech has also jumped, been pushed around, and fell several times in the series, but his goggles had never come off once. He has never even taken them off, just adjusted it from time to time. Hemlock also is known to be a liar, as shown that he never intended to take Omega in exchange for her brothers, but capture them all. A likely explanation for Tech’s goggles being found is that either he had taken them off, or had it taken away, or it had actually fallen or washed away from him.
In prior films and shows, characters have been shown to survive impossible situations, like…
Gregor (Clone Wars/Bad Batch)- Gregor survived a large explosion while saving the D-Squad. He promised to make his way back, and he did. While the odds of survival were unlikely, Gregor has reappeared in The Bad Batch with no casualties.
Echo (Clone Wars/Bad Batch)- Echo also survived an explosion with the cost of his legs, arm, and several body systems. He was taken as a Separatist Prisoner by the Skako Union and was used for experimentation and a weapon against the Republic. He was saved by Rex, Anakin, Tech, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Hunter, and survived and is in The Bad Batch.
Fennec Shand (The Mandalorian/Book of Boba Fett)- Fennec Shand was found dead by Boba Fett from a gut-shot blaster wound. She was brought back to life by replacing her damaged systems with mechanical ones. This allowed her to be perfectly fine and make an reappearance later in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.
Darth Maul (The Phantom Menace/Clone Wars)- Maul was sliced in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi and then presumed dead by everyone. He reappeared to seek revenge roughly 11 or 12 years later, with new mechanical legs.
Anakin Skywalker (Revenge of the Sith)- He had his legs and arm cut off, and then was burned by LAVA. Survival chances were impossible and yet he survived to become Darth Vader, feared Sith Lord.
As an enhanced clone with an Exceptional Mind and Skills, Tech would either be able to survive the fall and escape, or he has been captured by the Empire. Why would Dr. Hemlock waste a chance to unlock more “scientific knowledge” by leaving Tech to die? Why not take him as a hostage like Crosshair and Omega? Hemlock did want to take the rest of the Batch for questioning.
Even if Tech has been captured for an Imperial experiment...HE IS ALIVE. He has a chance. I know it. I’m probably just ranting into the void, but I’m suffering for one of my favorite characters- OK?
