Everyone’s Focusing On Echo Leaving And It Being Right For Him. But He’s A Father Now. He Has Responsibilities

Crosshair gives me squidward vibes

I believe Tech is alive.

Anakin literally was burned alive

Mail was cut in half

Admiral Trench got blown in half

Fennac Shand got shot

Ashoka was raised from the the dead

Gregor got blown up

And Echo got blown up

Let's get into this "Tech is dead" thing...

Until someone from the show confirms that Tech is dead, I don't believe it. We've seen this before. Echo died in an explosion. Nope. Ahsoka fell when she dueled Vader. That didn't stick. Maul, Palpatine, Leia, Mace Windu...okay, that last one is still in the air. But my point is that we never saw a body. Face it. If they wanted Tech dead, they would have given him a shoulder wound. I lost track of how many times that proved fatal this season.

For starters, it would be a very bad move! Tech was probably the most loved character on the show even before they further developed his character this season. To remove him from the show would deprive a lot of people of someone who gives them a feeling of true representation in Star Wars.

Then there's Phee. That last "conversation" she tried to have with him was awkward and very specific. They animated him in such a way that he was obviously avoiding eye contact. He was uncomfortable. He didn't want to say goodbye. I don't think he knew how. It looked to me like they were setting us up for a reunion scene.

Now let's talk about Hemlock. Him being in possession of Tech's goggles is another reason I think he's alive. When he held out the goggles and said, "I'm afraid this is all I could salvage," it suggested to me that Hemlock has him. It doubly struck me since he had just used the term "fascinating" in the same spirit of scientific curiosity Tech had used earlier in the season with the Zillo Beast. The only way I can see Tech being alive but not captured in this scenario would be if there is a raging river or deep crevasse beneath the train and all they found nearby was the goggles. (Which means that, if he is alive, we will finally get that goggleless Tech we've been wanting to see so badly all this time.)

Let's not forget the most important thing of all. Tech is an incredibly capable soldier. He is resourceful, exceptionally well-trained, and was fully kitted-out when he fell. It's not hard for me to imagine him using a grappling hook and cable or other means to keep from falling to his death. He said it himself. He has the "ability to think clearly in stressful situations". And if Hemlock has him, he's going to need it.

All this gives me great hope for season three. If Hemlock does have Tech, he would have him transferred to Mt. Tantiss on Weyland. Now, Crosshair and Tech are together with other no-longer-Imperial clones. Omega is there with Nala Se, who wants Omega as far from there as possible. Nala Se is no longer in a cell, but working in a lab—under guard, but with access to equipment. Factor in Omega's clone sister and this has all the earmarks of an epic escape episode.

Fingers crossed.

So… they went after Tech. He could’ve survived. I’m gonna go with that.

omega has the vibes of "i'm not locked in here with you. you're locked in here with me". hemlock is underestimating her ability to get shit done.

Say what you want, but they needed to be humbled by Ventress. They really think they are all that Omega needs in protection.

So… here’s my theory. I think only Crosshair will die and the rest will live.

Crosshair has done some horrible things, and the only way he can truly redeem himself is by sacrifice. (As is per usual in other shows).

With the rest, think of it from the business side. They will make money if they all die. But… they will make a lot more money if they all live. And then they come into other shows. Which get ppl like me to watch it bc they are in it.

The plot may be better to have a death to bring turmoil into the team, but again they can’t do that. So what are they gonna do? Bring them as close to death as they can get them.

Hunter, wrecker, tech and omega are not gonna die.

Cross probaly will, and echo may. (I doubt it, they would probaly like to use him in another show Rex is on)

I believe Tech isn’t dead.

All they needed was a final straw to break them. Next comes healing. And I believe finding out Tech is alive, is part of it.

omega forcing crosshair to hear about her about her day while he sits in a prison cell unable to leave is some very funny older sibling energy i can get behind

That’s the Crosshair we know and love!!
