I Sometimes Forget That Fives Is Actually Canonically Dead Because Ive Made Such A Convincing Fix-it

i sometimes forget that fives is actually canonically dead because i’ve made such a convincing fix-it au in my head where he isn’t  

IS FIVES ALIVE???

Fives, Fox, and The Bad Batch are on the same cover...and the release dates...

IT IS POSSIBLE?? TBB premiere is 70 minutes... We never saw Fox again after he killed Fives and look:

We saw Fox shoot Fives, Fox immediately after he shot Fives, AND THEN HE WAS GONE. HE WASN’T STANDING IN THE CIRCLE. ALL THE HELMETS ARE WHITE. NOT A SINGLE RED HELMET. GUYS-

DAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

Boba Fett in The Bad Batch?

I have to wonder what the galaxy’s larger perception of Boba Fett is; Considering how the Jedi were all but forgotten and Din Djarin has no idea himself, despite having lived through the Clone Wars… Is it common knowledge among the criminal underworld that Boba is a Jango clone? And amongst those who DO know, I can only imagine the rumors that sprung up, especially when you have an entire army of clones fighting for the Republic as well.

Do people think Boba is just another Clone trooper like the rest, only he decided that he REALLY wanted to be like his progenitor Jango? How many times has someone made the mistake of believing they can take on Boba because they’ve killed other clones before, bragging about it- Only to incite Boba’s wrath and a resound defeat? Does it frustrate Boba to be lumped in with the other clones, to not be known as his own person or at least Jango’s successor, but just another Clone bounty hunter- Because there could’ve been quite a few once they were decommissioned! And/or did Boba eventually come to terms with his connection with them? That of course opens an opportunity;

The Bad Batch really SHOULD bring in Boba Fett, possibly adapting his canceled arc where he comes of age by killing Cad Bane, and reclaiming his father’s title as the greatest Bounty Hunter. The show’s premise is already about clones who don’t quite fit in with the rest, so add to this theme by including Boba, the original and ideal clone, who ages normally and was raised as a true heir and child to Jango unlike the rest, who clearly has a bit of a complex and swears he has no REAL connection to the other clones… But c’mon.

I would just like to talk about this scene in TBB trailer:

Omega recognizes the Bad Batch, but they also know that their official name is Clone Force 99 and their individual names, and they say them with admiration. This goes beyond TBB being a ‘legend’ or ‘disgrace’, as clones and/or Kaminoans would see them. They obviously look up to them as role models and heroes.

But it’s TBB’s reaction to Omega recognizing them that really gets me

Hunter is surprised but he seems proud. He’s shocked that Omega knows about them but he’s proud that his squad has become so notorious, and in a positive light at that.

Wrecker is prideful and generally happy. He loves what he does and he’s probably happy that someone other than his squad members appreciates what he does.

Tech is pretty neutral about it. He’s probably not surprised because TBB has a 100% success rate, but he doesn’t seem the boastful or competitive type. He also doesn’t strike me as a ‘kid person’.

Crosshair is suspicious but, as usual, he’s trying to seem as impressive (and intimidating) as possible in front of a new person. He also doesn’t strike me as a ‘kid person’.

But Echo... Echo’s reaction hits me the hardest. He looks at Omega as if he’s anticipating an insult, but it never comes. He was probably expecting for them to skip over him and only acknowledge the other four members. But not only did Omega mention him, but they mentioned him second. I wish we could have seen TBB’s faces when they heard each of their names because I can just imagine Echo’s face lighting up with gratitude and surprise. Later in the trailer, we see Echo holding Omega’s hand and I think this scene is the start to their great platonic relationship.

Shoutout to Mon Mothma for not changing her outfit or hair for 25+ years

So today in my history class we were learning about fascism and interwar leaders and it was made clear to me that Palpatine is Hitler...

Maybe this is obvious, but they both:

Were relatively small-name politicians

Got elected as Chancellor during a time of distress because the people were desperate for new leadership

(Started a war)

Used their Chancellor status to create a totalitarian state, making themselves a dictator, ruining the previous democratic system

Ordered the near extinction of a religion

Scapegoated said religion to be the cause of the problem so their genocide was accepted by most people

And, because I’m really gonna go all in on this, Darth Vader and the Grand Inquisitor were basically Kapos. They aided in the genocide of their own people in exchange for their death to be delayed or spared.

Also, ~6 million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust. Order 66...

I don’t care what anyone says, Star Wars is about history/politics and George Lucas is a genius
