Finally šš¼ā¤ļø
Now all thatās missing is a hug with Cross š„¹š„¹
For real though, itās so on brand that the first thing Crosshair does when he meets Techās girlfriend is almost fight her
My favorite part of this episode was Phee meeting Crosshair and immediately giving him shit
I think something that makes Techās death so tragic is the sense of invincibility that we had associated with Clone Force 99 up to that point.
They sure didnāt have plot armorāweāve seen them get injured before, and we all know how Star Wars isnāt afraid to kill off a characterābut think of all the things weāve seen them survive: Hunter literally falling off the side of a mountain, getting shot in the chest; Tech getting hurled into a wall by Wrecker when he was under the influence of the inhibitor chip; Wrecker wrestling a rancor; surviving live rounds in a battle simulator; nearly getting roasted alive in an engine. Whatās more, weāve seen how absolutely UNHINGED their plans are, and yet, during the war, they had a 100% success rate and had never lost a single member of their squad. For a group of clones, thatās about as invincible as it gets.
And yet, in the end, they werenāt invincible. Tech was dangling from a single grappling line off a rail car that was only still dangling from the sky because Wrecker and a single connecting cable were holding it there. Neither he nor Wrecker could move without sending the rail car over. The others couldnāt move to safety unless the rail car miraculously reattached itself or ripped away. If anyone could have seen a miraculous, brilliant, crazy way out, it would have been Tech.
But he couldnāt. He saw the inevitability of what had to happen. And Tech, practical Tech, shot the connection himself when Wrecker couldnāt, because they couldnāt see that inevitability, or they couldnāt accept itāone last time, he had to help them understand.
Crosshair was rightāClone Force 99 DID die with Tech, because Clone Force 99 was invincible. Until they werenāt.
Thought this might be appreciated here
Loved this part of the episode, love how the clones just roasted him
Unfortunately, yes.
