I've said it before and I'll say it again. Crosshair killing the lieutenant is one of the most satisfying kills in all of Star Wars, if not the most satisfying
Roger, Roger
Gonk
Omg frrr
Sir yes sir
And shows that he was mad the lieutenant didn’t help Commander mayday (a clone trooper)
Crosshair: Good Soldiers follow orders
Tech: When have we EVER followed orders
Imagine what last word from two left member bad batch 😢
RIP
He carries the show heavily, probably my favourite of all of canon atm
same 👊
@froxi078Rex is still the goat imo, I know it‘s no unpopular opinion, but that’s for a reason
@froxi078 You forgot about 99 tho 😔
@froxi078 I don’t really know these two, but Crosshair definitely is one of the clones with the deepest character. Afterall he hasn’t much screentime. Rex became my favorite only cuz of the last CW season and rebels tbh, he had a ton of screentime
His back must hurt from the strain 💀
The Character Arc Of Crosshair is One of The Best In Star Wars, And that's Saying Something.
The Episode with Mayday is Some of The Best Star Wars Content I've ever seen.
He says in the beginning that He doesn't want to carry "deadweight", But then at The End when Mayday is about to die, He doesn't leave His Brother behind and carries Him Back to Base.
And when He kills The Lieutenant who is the most despicable character ever, it's so satisfying. He got what He deserved. That's when Crosshair truly sees how Evil and Cruel The Empire really is. What a Beautiful Character Arc.
The best of the Batch
This man needs more screen time
Agreed more screen time,but the best bad batch is Echo to me
Same he's easily the Best CHaracter in the show, Really wish he had more Screentime.
nah bro tech is best
@@Theology.101 he and Tech are my favorites
Bad batch belongs to him he is another Vader without the force
bro the most quote that broke my heart in the entire bad batch series is the "We are good soldiers, We followed orders"
"and for what?"
It makes me so sad how little attention he was given on the show compated to how interesting he is as a character ( I would even say one of the most compelling and complex in recent medias ), he has so much potential for character storytelling and is litteraly the one aspect that kept me looking forward to the bad batch...
Let's hope he becomes a main focus in Season 3 !🤞
Same here. It put me off bad batch altogether. If all care about is main figures we'll FRANKLY I don't give a SHIT about what have to watch. Just another corporal laundering business.
The transitions and how you put all the scenes together are just fantastic, you never miss. Also have you thought about how when Hemlock was torturing Crosshair for the bad batches location how would crosshair know where pabu was?? Like he had no information on the location of clone force 99, obviously he had nothing to give.
Thanks! And I think he could've probably said they're working as mercenaries, and since the Empire knows about the Marauder I don't think it'd be impossible to put out bounties and narrow it down from there.
@@SWFT_edits there’s like millions of bounty hunter’s hunters tho, I guess people could spot out the marauder in the underworld tho, they should change there ship in all honesty
he knew crosshair had no idea where they were but he knew that crosshair knows how the bad batch thinks and thats what he wanted
@@edi.1399 tech was able to mask its transponder signal, and apparently in Star Wars that’s almost all you need to not be detected.
@@othervids3726having lack of TECH literally.. They were captured very quickly without his security in place, they all were vulnerable.. I don't want to think tech is gone 😔...
This was beautifully edited! Perfectly encapsulates why Crosshair is such tragically compelling character.
Crosshair would make a great live action character
nono, they will destroy him, its very hard to bring animated characters in live action
Why? What's the point?
Animation is a medium, not a genre.
@@Mourtzouphlos240 I think it’s them saying the people who control live action suck
Just de-age temuera morrison by 20 years, shave his head, and starve him.
crosshair is the character that stood out to me the most. what a season for him, what a story and you captured that perfectly. this felt so freaking epic.
Love this so much! Crosshair is probably one of the most interesting Bad Batch characters. His development in the show has really been one of the greatest aspects of the series so far and you portrayed him so well.
When you first met him, you thought he was an asshole. But when you get to know him, he's that way cause everyone else was a bit of an asshole to him, expect Clone Force 99. It greatly implies that when Crosshair was shunned by the regs, making him feel rejected and hated by them, but Clone Force 99 gave him a place to call home. During the Empire, he began to feel a greater sense of alienation with the new human recruits, leading him to seek to the regs for comfort, most don't want anything to do with him, those that do, Crosshair etiheir worked well with them or would rush to save their life (which greatly contrasts his statement about leaving a reg behind, though ironically he didn't). Mayday was perhaps one of the first clones aside Cody and the Batch, he truly considered a friend, one that made him realize, despite their genetic differences, there were still his brothers.
The way you edit things together make them 10x more impactful than they already are, it's beautiful.
I wondered into some clips of Saving Private Ryan and I realized something heartbreaking: that was it.
That moment on the Kaminoian platform where Crosshair rejected them and waited for over a month for the Empire to pick him up was the last time they were all together.
“Understanding you does not mean that I agree with you.” Is the last time Tech and Crosshair ever spoke. At the end of the day, Tech died trying to save Crosshair from the Empire.
Crosshair is going to know that for the rest of his life.
The Bad Batch is Star Wars after all. That means that Crosshair gave into fear. The fear of what his life would be without being a soldier. The fear of how others would see him if they knew what he did. Much like Anakin.
Crosshair gave into fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
And now his brother is dead.
I’m so glad that Crosshair is starting to realize that the empire is evil. As much as I despise the LT he made Crosshsir realize that. Also ,if I remember correctly, we have never see him stun someone until Emerie so that was a big ,but welcome, surprise. He also realized that his squad will always be there for him even if they go different paths and remained loyal to them by not telling Hemlock where they are. Although he definitely seems loyal to the empire deep down he loves them, he just won’t really admit it yet. He’s definitely one of my all time favorite characters and I’m hoping we get to see more of him in season 3. [also when he shot the LT I literally cheered, I do wish Mayday survived but at least Crosshairs starting to deviate from the empire]
It is time to come back at the clone force 99.
His journey is amazing...
and he currently is paying dearly for his sins..
.. I hope he is able to see a redemption arc.. and not leave in even more tragedy..
Finally got round to watch this carefully. As one Crosshair enthusiast to another I gotta hype you up for this one brother🙏🏻 As always love your whole visual and sound design, but especially how you put this whole video together. Obviously starting out with his chapter as a loyalist to the empire and ending with him redeeming himself - but the parallels and the scenes you’ve used for certain lines are just fantastic.
“Why suffer more?” showing Crosshair saving Mayday, a “reg” he would’ve left to die back in the day, followed by him saying exactly that. Lines that first resonated with the batch leaving him; but now showing his character development; he won’t leave him behind like he was once.
Right after that you have Hemlock trying to convince him to help the empire hunt down Omega - convince him that she is meaningless for him. But as he lays there, restrained, he remembers everything she has said to him, how she saved him when the empire did not. He remembers that Omega means more to him than any of the of the orders they give him. So he remains silent: enduring the torture for as long as he can.
But in that moment he doesn’t just think about Omega, the dialogue with Cody echoes through his mind. Cody, a soldier for who he holds high respect, telling him that they aren’t droids; that they have their own will. And now he has that choice; stay loyal to the empire and their cruelty, or avenge one of the only men that respected Crosshair as one of his own and keep Omega safe - the choice to make his own decision.
“…and we have to live with them too.” as he takes one last look at Mayday, at the brother he couldn’t save - and you show the moment in which he decides to stay on the platform rather than to join his brothers again. A moment which he by now regrets, and which he surely thought about when Cody said that.
This all can seem obvious to most, but I still feel like I have to take a moment and appreciate a good character edit.
All in all this a beautifully composed tribute, maybe one of your best - but maybe that’s just the crosshair love in me talking. Keep it up brother
Thank you for such kind words and a detailed analysis, brother! :) You interpreted it perfectly.
Now that, is a great return
If he does end up back with the Bad Batch, I'd consider that one of the greatest character arcs ever. After watching this edit, it made me realize the conscious decisions Crosshair made to join the empire, and yet the most loyal, the most determined and the most skilled soldier the empire probably had at the time, still rebels.
@@stopper0203 After all that happend to him, he doesn't fit in the bad batch
He should find his own path, maybe with someone new
I like how Rampart is completely out of the story after he was arrested
He was probably executed for his failure
But kinda weird
is he tho?
Good soldiers follow order
*“I would’ve left him for dead* too,he’s just another reg.”
“We’re *superior.”*
“It is his *nature you cannot change* that, neither can he.”
“The young clone *means nothing to you.”*
>
*“You could’ve saved him.”*
“Lieutenant.”
“No.”
“You better hide, *they’re after Omage.”*
I love the character growth we got to see unravel in Crosshair. He went from heartless soldier to a good man with open eyes. He now understands how the Empire is truly evil and how his people matters and their importance in their lives.
This is one of the best edits I've seen 👏🏻 Star Wars needs to hire you
One of the best Crosshair videos ive seen. You've really captured his development. I'm glad he finally saw sense in the end. Plus, I loved the moments where it showed at first him not caring about the "regs", but since meeting Mayday, it changed his views and shows that what Hunter said was right about phasing out clones and the Empire just seeing clones as numbers.
Good job!
He seemed to mature lot definitely. Talking to people like Cody help him see his ways. Someone who got why doing what he was doing. I think easy for anyone to become trapped on own mindset, to go down path of unknowing confirmation bias.
Good soldier follow order 🔥🔥
*Not. Anymore.* Thank God. Love Crosshair so, so very much. My boy. *And recently when Bradley Baker stated he's his new favorite Clone, I melted. Gotta love that man too!*
Is there a vid of Bradley saying that?
@nastyfyme Yesh there is. The last Celebration panel with Dee stating as much. Shouldn't be difficult to find I would imagine.
@@clankers8929 found it 😊 thanks
Wow this was really something, it all flowed so nicely, enjoyed every single moment! I really wish that Crosshair got some more screen time in season two, but you managed to capture everything perfectly here. Great work!
Thanks man! And I agree, originally I'd planned to make a more S2-focused video but he got so little to do that I had to make one for his character overall.
Great edit. Crosshair is an amazing character, defintiely one of the best of the Disney era
Crosshair: Good soldiers follow orders
Rex: Good men question those orders
SWFT has returned
As always SWFT gives us one of the best Star Wars edits periodt
Ngl Crosshair is maybe a top 10 written Star Wars Character
Love this ❤️ Crosshair is one of my favourite clones, I hope he gets more screen time next season.
This guy is like a Breaking Bad character. One of the best Star Wars characters ever.
Wow this Crosshair Tribute is absolutely amazing!!! He is my favorite character in the whole show and this tribute is one of the best I've seen!!!
This deserves millions of views. Your edit made me better understand and appreciate Crosshair's character, and I already thought he was badass.
Great work as always!! Crosshair is for sure one of my favorite clones now
This is probably my favorite video for Crosshair. From music, scenes everything looks absolutely fantastic!
Long live the Republic!
With everything that has happened between him and the rest of the batch, he never told the empire anything and even if he know something he mostly likely still wouldn’t have 💪🏽
Amazing like always, brother !
3:09 The shots & music are well put together so you can feel the intensity of the scene. Well done !
so beautiful tribute of crosshair
Perfect character
What a fantastic story edit, thanks for this!
Sorry I was late to this, only just finished S2. As always flawless edit man. The quotes and scenes used matched so poetically. Crosshair is definitely the most interesting character to me, I just wish we got more of him throughout the season. Fingers crossed next one we do
Thanks man.🙏🏼 Just saw the leaked trailer for S3 and looks like he'll have a big role.
Outstanding work as always ☆☆☆☆☆☆
this is official level stuff man, i could definitely see this on star wars' offical pages to promote the show
Thank you for such kind words man. :)
The Empire is a machine that continously obtains resources, information and people, wears them out and when they feel the item in question has outlived it's usefulness, it is discarded or worse... repurposed. Even though Crosshair was an effective cog in the machine and still fully functional, he did not serve the visual preference that the Empire desired. The Empire saw him as nothing more than livestock, a resource to be slaughtered, consumed and forgotten. He may be as fierce as a raptor, but the Empire desired a different bird. And so, they put him in a pen, took away his wings and claws so the fearsome raptor would sing like a swan about to die. Only when his flock came to him would he be allowed to expire.
My favorite one in the batch hope his hand tremors get better
I can't wait to see what you will do for season 3 !!
Even if he wanted to keep serving the empire they would just kick him out like the other clones.
Always a pleasure to watch, and so many goosebumps! thank you
Crosshair’s journey is sad and powerful one!!
You are so good at this. You understand the absolute essence of these stories. I think these would make great videos to introduce people to the addiction that is Star Wars.
Thanks so much for taking the time on these. It’s definitely appreciated
I’m still debating which clone I love more, Crosshair or Tech-I think this convinced me on which is my favorite! 😆
I love both i love Crosshair's story and development but I can relate more to Tech
“You… could’ve *saved* him.”
This will need a revision lol, Crosshair's arc was amazing
When Crosshair killed Nolan, He was right to do it. Mayday doesn't deserve die.
Neither did Wilco
My favourite arc in star wars
Kriff this is good. The transitions are spot on, the clips show the narrative well, and the sound is emotive without being heavy handed.
Tech tribute when? :D
Perhaps soon! It's a tough one because of the lack of footage so not sure if I can put one together.
@@SWFT_edits Does Crosshair have more screentime than Tech?
@@stopper0203 Not really but he has a lot more meaningful scenes.
@@SWFT_edits Ahh, that makes more sense
OMG THE AHSOKA ONE I LOVE IT AND IVE KNOWN IT FOR YEARS! But Ty for sharing this playlist! So many amazing vids!
great tribute to Crosshair.
I didn't watch the bad batch after the clone wars. I will definitely watch after this video. Amazing work!
Good soldiers follow orders.
“Good men question them.”
@@kalvin187douglas "Soldiers live and die by orders."
@@TheReaper-ep2cq “smart people ask questions”
@@kalvin187douglas "orders are orders"
I was always upset when croshairs left the bad batch, his reunion will be epic.
Crosshair is a great character, more than another members of The Bad Batch. Great edit ❤️
I still can't get over that last episode 😭Nice edit!
Long live clone force 99! 🫡
Can't wait to see Crosshair next season! Would love to see you do an edit for the Batch as a whole. Solid work as always, brother. 👏
SWFT COMING BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGER!!!!
Oooooof. Your best yet
that was easily the best edit ive seen so far, that was incredible, well done man
This is incredible.
Amazing job.
Day X of crying because of your edits
Most developed character ive seen in a while...
Crosshair has become one of the best characters in Star Wars, he’s up there as one of the best clone characters right along side Fives and Rex.
dude this edit is incredible
This is so incredibly good I don't have even words for it
I needed that. Thank you. It's perfect.
Wonderful work!!
Looks like there is some jango fett left in him
Woauh! Il a fait beaucoup d'erreur mais maintenant il est tant de ce racheté ! J'ai vraiment hâte qui retrouve ses frères !
Amazing Crosshair video keep up the great work.
I cannot wait to see you pay tribute to Tech.
Such a great edit!
wow, such a nice edit, keep up with the good work and one day you will be on of the best sw content creator
Incredible edit man!
GLORY TO THE EMPIRE!
Beautifully done!
Its a shame how he is the greatest character show has and how they underuse him massively.
Crosshair is literally the only thing about bad batch deserving of attention.
What can I say......just wow 😱
Good soldiers follow orders
Another great edit.
very cool cutting about a clone Crosshair 💜👍
Amazing edit, I really hope you do one for Tech and maybe even Omega
The way he talks reminds me of that blue general throne if he was a foot soldier
It's so beautiful❤
commandor cody is wise man like captin rex
Crosshair is the villain you can sympathize with he’s a soldier through and through he does what he knows and all he knows but when Mayday is killed he I believe snaps and the torture I feel will make him turn against the Empire
Crosshair is amazing character reminds me of Flynn from timeless complicated are they best
