The Bad Batch 1x14 Major Spoilers!!!

The Bad Batch 1x14 major spoilers!!!

AHHHHHHHHH

There was so much this episode between Gregor, the storm troopers, and Hunger getting captured😭

anywayssss, this is me formally begging Dave Filoni to do the classic imperial deserter rescues enemy trope with Crosshair and Hunter

Said trope^

No, because why doesn’t Crosshair have backup?? Exactly—

DID YOU REALIZE THAT GREGOR SAID "NEWBIE" TO THIS INSUBORDINATE PLEBE, NOT "SHINY". OMG. BECAUSE HE IS NOT A CLONE. THEY DON'T SAY "SHINY" TO THESE REPLACEMENTS.

EVEN SAYING SHINY IS A KIND OF AFFECTION TO CLONES. SO GREGOR DOESN'T SAY IT TO THESE NEWBIES. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BROTHERS. NOT HIS BROTHERS. MY HEART CAN'T HANDLE THIS.

“I hurried my steps, and soon I was in the square where Mal and I met every evening. I spotted him leaning against the lip of a fountain, talking with his Zemeni friend he’d met working at the warehouse. I couldn’t remember his name…Jep, maybe? Jef?”

— Siege and Storm (2013) by Leigh Bardugo Chapter 1

My conspiratorial ass:

Vibe check

Oh…I may have misinterpreted, but I agree! It did seem like most Jedi only cared about their fellow high-ranking officers (jedi generals/commanders and clone captains/commanders) :(

I am so frustrated rn with the people that try and make it seem like Jedi loved the clones, with maybe the exception of Plo, and maybe Shaak. The Jedi cared about the WAR, NOT their MEN. Men that trusted them, had feelings, emotions. Men that, like slick, even ended up betraying the order because hey! This life is fucked and why should we be slaves??? They may be programmed and a clone of another man, but that doesn't make them less of a person! Less of a breathing creature that deserves to make their own decisions.

You can say what you want, but they were enslaved. You saw from jedi as bad as Pong Krell, to as mild as Yoda, Anakin, or even Obi-Wan that they didn't care. Ping-Pong-Dong turned them against each other, ignoring the mission on umbara just to destroy the clones.

Anakin, as @nibeul mentioned in an absolute stellar post, fucking let a whole group of men die for a fucking R2 unit. Who tf does that? I get it, he's had R2 forever, but he killed those men! And people still stand up for him.

Obi-Wan and Yoda?? Fucking JOKES. They didn't even try to spare them. They slaughtered those men with zero remorse even if they couldn't control themselves! They were in a trance, they had a fucking chip for gods sake! How are they going to fight that? I know some could, like Rex, but not all can.

Plo was the only one that actually just let it all go .down and happen, sparing his men, his bros, even if they were in "the wrong." (Because is there really a right and a wrong in this war?? both sides suck ass in their own ways.) He was said to be the best pilot ever, right below anakin even, I think. And he didn't even attempt to fly off or fight back. He didn't want to be the reason his men died, blood on his hands. Or at least that’s how I see it.

I know this is random but FUCK, Jedi puss me off. They aren't right at all, the clones deserved better tbfh. Like honestly, if it weren't for the fact slick got some of his brothers killed, I wouldn't have blamed the guy. I would have tried to leave the order and free my brothers if I was in that situation. I would have left, because you know what, with all those men you could overthrow them. Get new fucking soldiers, not men that don't even know what happiness outside of the war is.

My mom: are you ok?

Me: *shrugs*

My emotionally abusive household member: are you depressed?

Me: yeah…

My emotionally abusive household member: life just sucks, there’s not much you can do about it...
