If Kanan Jarrus Isnt A Mandalorian, Then Explain This:

If Kanan Jarrus isn’t a Mandalorian, then explain this:

When Darth Vader hits Kanan’s pauldron with his lightsaber, it doesn’t damage the material, it just strips the paint off of it. From just this info alone, it seems like Kanan’s pauldron is made of Beskar.

Every other material looks roughly like this when a lightsaber strikes it with that amount of pressure (I couldn’t find a picture of that scene from Rebels where Ahsoka was touching the marks left by fifth brother’s lightsaber):

But Kanan’s pauldron isn’t indented where the lightsaber struck it, it’s pretty smooth and even as you can see down below:

We know that beskar is lightsaber-proof from the Mandalorian

So is it a stretch to speculate that Kanan’s season 1/2 armor is beskar?

I personally think that his eye covering in season 3/4 is made from beaker as well, possibly even made from his season 1/2 armor.

What’s crazy about the eye covering is that it has Jaig Eyes painted on it. Jaig eyes were a Mandalorian symbol of honor worn by warriors. Why would Kanan appropriate Mandalorian culture?

Also, Kanan knew to ask Fenn Rau about the Darksaber. Maybe he didn’t know exactly what it was or the story behind it, but he knew it was a lightsaber, and a Mandalorian one at that.

Seeing as Kanan was taken into the order as a toddler, it’s impossible to know where he was originally from or who his parents are. I couldn’t find anything that indicated Kanan’s home planet. I think it’s possible that he was a Mandalorian by blood but now we‘ll never know.

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.

Are the clones whitewashed in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch? Absolutely

I support creators that attempt to correct their skin tone but I feel like I should address the other extreme.

Temuera Morrison, the live-action clone actor, is Māori. They are native to New Zealand. Tem is not white, but he is also not black! He is indigenous to New Zealand.

This is Tem as Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002):

With this reference in mind, both of these images are concerning to me:

Trying to bring justice to obvious whitewashing is one thing, but black-fishing is another. Both are harmful to POC communities and I’d just like creators to be mindful.

Thank you

Yeah...I’m pretty sure Omega is a Jango clone

And the forehead scar from the new poster😳 (their image was probably inverted to make the poster aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical)

Hi everyone! I’m newish to tumblr and this is my first post. I figured some of you would like to see my drawing of Hunter from The Bad Batch!

Hey guys! Not to be that person, but I think Omega from the Bad Batch trailer is a cisgendered female👀

Their voice is higher than the other clone cadets we saw in TCW and their features are a bit more feminine.

I think that’s kinda the point of their character...the whole mutated clone thing...being an outcast, wanting to join their big brothers...😅

Sadly, I don’t think Disney would include an openly LGBTQ+ character in a show like The Bad Batch, nevertheless a clone and (main?) character.

Despite that, I love them already and I can’t wait for May 4th!
