IS FIVES ALIVE???

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?

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!

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.

GUYS- I think I cracked the code! I think I know how Bo-Katan is gonna appear in The Bad Batch and how it ties into the Mandalorian Purge😳

I’ll put it below because it’s kinda long😅

So, I was picking apart The Bad Batch trailers (as crazy people like me do) and I was trying to figure out what planet this was:

I was thinking it might be Alderaan, but there’s not really a big motive for the Empire (or the Republic) to occupy Alderaan. For all they knew, Bail Organa was compliant like every other senator. If they were suspicious, they would have done something much sooner than 0BBY.

So, what other planets have snow, tall trees, mountains, and frozen-over lakes? KROWNEST!

We saw in Star Wars Rebels that Clan Wren lived on Krownest and they were led by Ursa Wren, who made a brief appearance alongside Bo-Katan in The Clone Wars season 7.

If this part of The Bad Batch takes place after the Empire was formed, then it would make sense for TBB alongside the Imperials to try to occupy Mandalore and other Mandalorian planets. If you think about it, Mandalore is perfect to try to occupy because they were under new leadership (Bo-Katan, who was inexperienced with leading an entire planet or a system of planets), they were previously neutral in the Clone Wars, and Mandalorians are notoriously dangerous people to be against and they would be valuable allies. Then I remembered that there was a leak of the description for a Hasbro Bo-Katan black series action figure. The description says that “she refused to align with the Empire’s occupation of Mandalore” and that the action figure was a replica of her from The Bad Batch show...

So if she refused to join the Empire, maybe that’s the cause of the Mandalorian Purge. Bo even said she fought in the Purge. It’s been mentioned several times in The Mandalorian, but we’ve never gotten a time frame or many details. We do know that the Purge was at the Empire’s hands, though.

But what does that have to do with The Bad Batch? Okay, I think TBB was sent to help the Imperials occupy Krownest, but Bo-Katan resisted, resulting in the Mandalorian Purge. As we know, Jango Fet, the clone template, was a Mandalorian foundling. It’s widely accepted that the clones speak Mando’a, so is it bold to assume they have loyalties to Mandalore? Maybe TBB decided to aid the Mandalorians on Krownest and fight on their side. However, we know that the Mandalorians lost to the Empire, and maybe this is how TBB dies👀

The Mandalorians lose, Krownest is occupied by the Empire, Ursa Wren makes a deal with them, and Tristan Wren goes on to be a Mandalorian who serves the Empire (as Fenn Rau calls them). Perhaps Bo-Katan leaves before the Empire can catch her, running away with Clan Kryze and surviving. This might also explain how Bo-Katan referred to Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian. When explaining the plan, Bo says “Koska, Fennec, Dune, myself, disembark...” She uses Koska and Fennec’s first names but she calls Cara by her last name. We know that she is close with Koska, which explains why she calls her by her first name, but she must be familiar with Fennec as well. Fennec is gonna be in The Bad Batch so maybe they’ll interact with one another.

If you’re still reading, what did you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or constructive criticism!

May the Force be with you!

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
