Another Tech sketch page cause I LOVE THIS MAN

This one dedicated to his goggles.

((I’m still in denial that he’s gone. It doesn’t seem real. And until we see a body, then he’s not dead. For Echo we saw no body and he ‘blew up’ so Tech can still be alive))

ERIADU HAS LARGE FLYING REPTILES!!!!

I repeat, ERIADU HAS LARGE FLYING REPTILES!!!!!!

In the Claudia Gray book “Leia, Princess of Alderaan,” Leia takes a rock climbing class on Eriadu & mentions hearing “the occasional rustling of tree branches beneath when one of the world’s large flying reptiles swooped through them, visible only as shadow.” The book was published in 2017 & is meant to be in the same canon as the original movies & the sequel trilogy, meaning it’s part of the same canon as The Bad Batch. And if there were indigenous large flying reptiles on Eriadu when Leia was rock climbing, they must’ve been there almost 15 years ago during Plan 99.

When the Batch took the monorail over to Tarkin’s stronghold, Tech was looking DOWN while everyone else was looking FORWARD. I thought at first he was scoping out the ravines & canyons, but he could also have been observing the large flying reptiles & making note of their size, nests, flight patterns, maybe even scrolled through his records for their cries. So when he severed his connection to the monorail later, he knew there was SOMETHING that could catch him!

This is not the last we’ve seen of our favorite nerd clone. He will return.

There was a dude during WW2 that jumped from the plane after it caught fire. He had no parachute, nothing. So he preferred to die by impact rather than burn to death. He fell 5.500m to the ground below. He survived and only suffered a sprained leg after his fall was broken by pine trees

Y'ALL THERE'S HOPE

🤯

I’m taking every little thing they said and showed at The Bad Batch panel and applying it to my Tech lives theory and I am slowly driving myself insane.

I’m this 🤏 close to making a full on evidence board/crazy wall so I can finally crack this case.

I propose we keep saying that Tech is okay and nothing happened for the sake of our mental health

Reasons why Technically Technology Technician Bad Batch the Third Isn’t Dead

Maintenance Clone 99 didn’t sacrifice himself when he died. He was shot while trying to get more ammo for Echo & Fives during the Battle of Tipoca City. It was tragic, unfair, and heartwrenching, but not a sacrifice. So naming a sacrifice plan after him makes no sense.

No corpse, no proof of death. Goggles with an intact strap are not a corpse. And isn’t it weird that the goggles were on Tech’s face under his helmet, but Hemlocke just found them at the crash site with the band intact? They couldn’t just fall off his head, which means either Hemlocke removed them from Tech’s head or Tech left them as proof of death as part of his plan.

No one at Disney or Star Wars will say “Tech is dead.” They’ll talk about his sacrifice, or say “he doesn’t come back this episode,” but they won’t outright say he’s dead. They keep saying “it’s complicated,” which makes no sense if he’s really dead. It’s only complicated if he’s alive.

Tech would definitely sacrifice himself to save his family, and he knew his odds of surviving were slim, but he would still do everything in his power to increase his own odds of survival once he knew the others wouldn’t fall with him. It’s easier to save one than five.

No clone death has ever gotten this much social media focus from the official platforms. Not Gregor, not Mayday, not even Jesse.

Tech’s death is getting more “we sure miss hims” and “relive his adventures” than the deaths of Han Solo, Leia Organa, and LUKE F*CKING SKYWALKER!!!! No way Disney would spend more social media time mourning a clone from one of the spin-off animated series than the OG hero trio unless the death wasn’t real.

Star Wars has always been the antithesis of nihilism & grimdark. I’m not saying it’s all sunshine & rainbows, but the core of Star Wars has always been the power of hope. Even in stories where everything goes to shit, Star Wars will always try to end on a hopeful note. And if the Bad Batch loses a member for good, there is no hope.

Tech has a lot of unresolved plot threads. His relationship with Phee, finding something to do besides nerf nugget deliveries or hiding from the Empire, reconciling with Crosshair. We need closure.

Disney loves the theme they composed for the Bad Batch. They love playing it when the brothers fight together. And they ONLY play it for the brothers & the end credits (sorry, Omega) We haven’t heard it in-show since the last time all five brothers were together on Kamino, and I have no doubt they’ll bring it back once more in the last season. But to do that, they need all five brothers.

Tech didn’t have an “Uh Oh” arc before the season 2 finale. Echo’s rescue in Season 7 of The Clone Wars was his “Uh Oh” arc, Wrecker kept taking head trauma that led to migraines & his chip activating, Hunter got yeeted out a ship, fell into a mountain, and got shot by Cad Bane, and Crosshair has been nothing but “Uh Oh” arcs ever since Order 66. Now it’s Tech’s turn.

Star Wars loves repeating patterns, and with The Bad Batch getting only three seasons it’s the perfect setup to mirror the original trilogy. Not necessarily in actions, but in emotional beats. Tech in Season 2 follows similar emotional beats as Han (complicated relationship with a smuggler, struggling with emotions, betrayed by a shifty ally, etc.), culminating with both men being cut off from their found family in a dramatic confrontation with the Empire. Leia got Han back, and I knew Omega will get Tech back.

Saw’s insurgents mucked up the plan to track Hemlock’s personal ship back to Mount Tantiss to find & rescue Crosshair and the other clones. The team needed a new way to track Hemlocke, and a new infiltration plan. What better way to get behind enemy lines than to fake your death, steal a proto-Stormtrooper uniform, and pretend to be a normal soldier? Especially since Tech looks the least like a Fett clone, so if he does take off the helmet no one will recognize him.

Omega coined “The Tech Turn” as the name of a certain flying technique that only Tech uses. It’s something only the two of them know. And it feels like a plant, like in Season 3 there will be a scene where Omega sees a Stormtrooper pull off The Tech Turn in a shuttle, or Omega will hijack a shuttle & someone will tell her to do The Tech Turn to get rid of some proto TIE fighters on her tail.

There are a ton of Star Wars characters who have died onscreen just to show up several installments later. Maul, Ventress, Gregor, Echo, Palpatine, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand. Heck, Artoo’s died onscreen TWICE and been fixed up good as new before the end credits, and Chewie was totally blown up by the First Order until he suddenly wasn’t. So Tech returning isn’t unprecedented.

Star Wars doesn’t tease. They don’t leverage the possibility of seeing certain characters to get more seasons or new movies. Young Justice does that will Wally West - they “killed” him in Season 2, and use the promise of his return to get fans coming back only to say “Whoops, no Wally this season. Guess we’ll have to be greenlit for another season in order to see if he comes back.” Star Wars doesn’t play dirty like that. Star Wars always delivers. If all of this attention is suggesting Tech is alive, then Tech will be back in season 3.

Tech is the first canonically autistic Star Wars character. Star Wars won’t invoke the “bury your neurodivergents” trope. They’ve been getting better at inclusivity in recent years (mostly in writing, but there are baby steps being made in the TV shows).

wait no cus the rest of the batch had an almost identical fall after they went through the station, and all of them made it not only alive but alive long enough to go to cid's

"no I don't think I'm delusional. I think i have reached a point where I don't care for the classic "y/n" or "×reader" things, after all I'm 19 now, i can't let myself daydream like th-"

Also me, after spending 2 hours sketching my star wars persona×the bad batch characters:

#i'm delusional #I'm so fucking delusional #tech is not dead #someone sedate me #star wars the clone wars #the bad batch #got me on a chokehold

[emzyofficial]

!!!TECH IS NOT DEAD AND I HAVE PROOF!!!(I have a theory but it’s the same thing)

So i’ve been thinking about this a lot…I have this theory that Tech didn’t die because he fell down.

Okay so hear me out. In the Star Wars movies, in the history of Star Wars when have a character died when they fell down?

Never!

Maul fell down in episode 1 but then he survived.

Luke fell down in episode 5 but he survived.

Boba Fett survived falling into sarlacc pit.

PALPATINE GOT YEETED DOWN BY VADER AND HE SURVIVED.

(Han Solo is the exception because he got stabbed by his son before he basically pushed him off sooo)

So there is no way (at least I hope) that Tech didn’t survive.

He survived He is alive He is living his happy life.

Thank you for your time have a great morning, afternoon, evening <3

Enjoy our sweet Tech

(This was my original idea if anyone else said this before I’m sorry I hadn’t seen it)
