I spent the whole day in tears trying to figure out the camera situation that I was already in such a tender emotional state… I felt so broken by the end of it
@@funnylilgalreacts I agree and I cried the second time. First time I was in shock and denial but not crying. But great reaction anyways. And I do wonder how Cody, Rex, crosshair, and phee will react to tech’s death. Because they aren't going to like that. Also, when will you react to the John Wick 4 trailer or John Wick 4 watch along/movie
Saw is an interesting character example of the opposite extreme. Omega's moment of grief after she wakes up was probably the moment that hit me the most. That realization setting in, still gets me teary eyed.
Ben Mendelsohn! I could not think of his name to save my life… And I was filming on my phone so I couldn’t look it up. Lol. That Krennec reveal was perfect. Definitely made my ears perk up.
I think the way that Hemlock had the Goggles means that Tech is probably still alive and is either in a bacta tank somewhere or in hiding, but I almost hope he's not because his sacrifice was such a powerful moment
As much as I would love for him to be alive, I agree with you completely. That was such a huge moment and such a huge sacrifice and I would hate for him to be alive, and it just be a fake out. Everyone keeps bringing up the fact that they did the same thing with Echo. Shit they kind of did the same thing with Gregor until he showed up in rebels, and we knew he survived.
@@funnylilgalreacts one idea I liked is that the Empire keep tech alive and experiment on him, but he's missing all of his emotion due to all the stuff they do to him. Many people in-universe already saw Tech as an emotionless machine, so seeing him actually become that would be soulcrushing to anyone who knew him well, like the Batch Still, I also think the best way to do it would be to keep him dead
I can’t believe they killed off Tech. I still think Hemlock saying that he “salvaged” Tech’s glasses, means that there may be a chance Tech got away. At least that’s the hope I’m holding onto.
I knew when I saw the episode that your reaction was going to be Heartbreaking and Saw actually can be blamed for what happened to tech as the explosion messed with the cart also Hemlock could actually have taken Tech kinda like a Winter soldier situation but like in Star Wars if I didn't see it happen or Saw the Body There is Still a Chance.
@@funnylilgalreacts Yeah, I don't think Tech is dead. Hemlock is like the Mouth of Sauron holding up Frodo's mithril shirt. Probably be reunited with Tech in the first two episodes of next season.
Can't lie, you absolutely were among those that I immediately thought of once I saw what happened, in the sense of looking forward to/"dreading" your reaction...Tech is my favorite of the Batch and I feel the pain as well 😢. This show really is a favorite of mine!
I absolutely love the show. I was already in a pretty sensitive state before watching and that just destroyed me. Even typing out this, and I have tears in my eyes. It’s going to live with me for a while.
@@funnylilgalreacts I legit tear up and/or cry everytime I watch a reaction to it, I'm just like whyyyy am I doing this to myself?? Yea Tech is the opposite of me in pretty much all the aspects and that's why he fascinated me and I was so drawn to him. His way of seeing the world interested me so much and I was more than happy to watch him grow. My favorite moments of this season are from the Tech moments including the more filler-y arcs, they all build to this payoff. I've always loved characters like Tech and Donatello for example most on any squad like this. So yes I understand and sympathize 😔 This SW loss is the most jarring for me since Fives
15:57 To answer to your question : Probably Lyra Erso (Galen Erso's wife and Jyn Erso's mom) 😉 Two very Rogue One-ish episodes ! With Saw Gerrera and Orson Krennic's appearances... As well as the overall tone, storyline (invading an imperial facility), and tragic outcome (not as tragic, fortunately)...
Not saying "I'm glad to see you cry" but genuine emotion from invested Star Wars fans is why I love this franchise so much, and will always keep me coming back for more!
This is the reaction I was most looking forward to. My face was an absolute mess for like 90% of the finale and of course the waterworks turned back on re-watching it with you. Even though I'm convinced that Tech is not truly dead. He had boosters on his pack and he could have possibly been able to reuse his grappler as well. I think he either lost his goggles during the fall or he ditched them to throw the Empire off his trail. Our boy is too smart and resourceful. And for Hemlock to say that is all he could salvage makes me think that there wasn't a body. Or if there was, then he probably took Tech back with him for his experiments. I'm not giving up hope. Unfortunately we have to wait a while before getting answers but man... what a ride it's been. I just started watching The Bad Batch this year and I never would have thought it would be this good. Absolutely fantastic. Hope you're feeling a little better.
What a great show this is! You are so right too, these Star Wars animated shows are so much more than kids shows and people just don’t know what they are missing!! Loved your reaction Angela, I’m a grown man sitting here tearing up myself watching you cry over Tech. 😢 I kinda hope also he’s not dead but assuming he is what a great way for him to go out! Oh man you got me excited to eventually see the Marauder in live action one day! 🤞
I am not getting over this death for a while. Of all the animated characters that have been lost, Tech was by far and away the most innocent. And the implications of the goggles give me the idea that he unfortunately died a painful slow death in the frigid mountains of Eriadu.
Why is it that an animated series, a cartoon, can illicit so much emotion in a grown man? I know why. The writing. The acting. The story. The way that they create characters who you get attached to. Dammit! I'm not crying. You're crying.
The guy who asked Hemlock if the clones agreed to his experiments was in Rouge One (18 years after this) and other old dude was seen in the clone wars show.
You felt a disturbance in the force even before you started the episode. Impressive...most impressive. They sure know how to make us fall in love with the clones and then ripping them from us.
Tech is still alive! No dead body, no death! He'll show up later saying "hi guys!" and then open up his abdomen to reveal gears and pistons like Fennic! 🤞😬🤞
I would just hate for them to give him such an amazing death for it to be in vain for him to just come back. I don’t know really how I feel about it today, but ask me in a year when the new season comes out I might be hopeful for it.
Just for added clarification, the two unnamed Imperials in attendance at the summit were Admiral Barton Coburn (commander of Master Plo Koon's naval forces during the Clone Wars) and General Hurst Romodi (Tarkin's most trusted adjutant in A New Hope and Rogue One.)
Cid's betrayal was on the horizon but just didn't think it happened the way it did, especially after Techs sacrifice. I dreaded having to watch this episode again with you but it was necessary.
If Tech's death was a mislead, I will think poorly of the writers. They did a good job of building the emotional investment, it shouldn't be cheapened with "We didn't really mean it. Neener, neener, neener! Fooled ya!"
Yeah, I feel like when there’s some thing like that that’s so emotionally taxing it needs to be for real, and it needs to be permanent. As much as I hate to say that it was a beautiful scene, it was tragic and emotional, and it’s going to shift the batch to a darker side. I have a hope that he survived, but for his death to mean something it needs to be permanent.
Ben Mendelsohn was credited for Krennic in this episode. They likely used an audio clip from Rogue One rather than have him come in and record one small line.
One TH-camr rewatched the movie but he couldn't find the line in Rogue One. They had the actor come in to do this one specific line which shows normally don't do. Perhaps we'll see more of him next season.
They are filming the second season of Andor, so they could have Mendelson back for that and just gotten him to record the line between takes on the live-action show.
@@kenle2 They'd still have to credit and pay him separately, but yeah, it would be easy enough to do. Or they could have just had him record it with a decent webcam or microphone and email it to the studio.
Any of these things are possible but do remember they did a lot of reshoots for ROGUE ONE and much of the original story was restructured. That means there was a wealth of unused audio from principal photography.
I was able, mostly because it was so inline with Tech's character, to keep it together, when Tech fell.... then Hemlock threw Hunter Tech's goggles. That moment pushed all the emotional buttons.
Me too. I was in too much shock when Tech died (though in retrospect the foreshadowing was rather obvious with the focus on the development of his character this season. The race episode where he truly gets to shine, his emotional confession to Omega in the cavern, even the name of the episode). It was the reveal of the goggles that got me. And if you look closely at the end of the episode when the Batch are in the Marauder you can see Wrecker caressing them on the background. Absolutely beautiful moment.
So there was a hint of Omega having a sister in season 1. The Batch think that Omega is one of the enhanced clones but Omega isn’t enhanced. She’s an unaltered clone. The remaining enhanced clone has to be this Dr.Emery chick.
Tech is displaying all signs for autism. Kaminoans wanted superior engineer and superior soldier, all in one. And they got it. At expence of no social skills. I feel sorry for them both.
Right before Tech says “when have we ever followed orders?” , he gives out a sigh…to me that means he ran all the possible outcomes in his head and Plan 99 was the solution. I bet Phee is going to avenge Tech in the next season …and help rescue Omega.
Dammit - That's the 3rd time I've cried over Tech 😢😢😢 1st time was when I saw the episode 2nd time was when I saw LouiseJulie's reaction video 3rd time is now when I watch your reaction... I'm a 46yo tradie, and I can't handle this emotional trauma of loosing one of my favorite cartoon characters!!!! Damn you Filoni!!!
That Hair, uniform and - most of all - voice actor places the dude in my top 5 of Evilness.Well, other than the name.C'mon, dude is basically named "Dr: poisonous plant well know".
Been desperately wanting you to show these episodes and the last of Severance, both of which I knew would be good reactions. This one didn't disappoint!
I’ve finished severance and oooh boy 😅 I know as soon as people start sending me messages that they can’t wait for me to watch a specific episode that it’s probably gonna hit me harder than maybe a casual viewer 😂😭
@@funnylilgalreacts If you're looking for something to watch in the future and haven't already seen it I recommend giving Firefly a try (and the Serenity movie afterwards). Based on the other shows you've enjoyed I reckon you'd really like it.
Saw really messed up everything, not only did his own mission fail but he completely messed up the Bad Batch’s mission which caused Tech to die. There’s definitely a reason why Steela was chosen as the leader of the Onderon rebels during the clone wars. Because she was the more tactical and compassionate leader while her brother was reckless, and hateful even more so after she died which made him do stupid things like what we just saw and later during Rebels when he was with Ezra and Sabine he caused a giant Kyber Crystal to explode with Ezra and Sabine still on board which it was going to be used as part of the power source for the laser on the Death Star. One of the only good things that Saw ever did was keep Jyn alive after her mom was killed and her father captured until he was like “your on your own now kid”
Until they actually show his body, I don’t believe he’s really gone. Just remember: everyone thought Echo died in the Clone Wars, but that was proven wrong. I think Filoni just ‘pulled an Echo’ on us.
This! Hemlock has him for leverage, or he managed to survive and is gone to ground and gonna hodge podge together a way to let the others know where they are at.
You know we technically never saw a body so I would like to believe that means we have some hope that tech somehow survived that fall despite the Empire finding his goggles
The finale needed a trigger warning for *emotional damage* 💔 It will be so sweet if Omega gets to wear Tech's goggles in the future 🤧 Predictions for S3...since the group lost their moral compass which is Omega, I think we will see massive charcater shifts, especially in Hunter's character arc.
When people say they don't watch cartoons because it's for kids, I can't help but shake my head. Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch have all proven how animated shows can have some very dark and serious tones. And don't even get me started on all the adult themes in shows like Arcane. With exception to Rogue One and Andor, the best Star Wars content in the last 20 years can all be found in the animated series.
ITS JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER- ITS JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER- ITS JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER- HES NOT JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER AND I LOVE HIM SO FRICKING MUCH- 😭💔
Hemlock is voiced by the brilliantly talented Jimmi Simpson. The man is a chameleon in drama and comedic acting, as well as voice acting. In the animated series Star Trek Prodigy, he voices the absolutely terrifying robot Drednok. If you want to see him in his best drama role so far, I highly recommend season 1 of Westworld.
I think in regards to shots, then the blue circle shots are stuns while the red lines are killing shots - or that's as far as I get it. Also, they usually only use stun on the other Clone troopers, but the storm troopers gets no mercy it seems
They were using stun on most enemies up until recently (except vehicles, probably because stun wouldn't work on heavy armor, and the slavers because ... slavers). But, I think they're only using stun now on non-combatants like unarmed technicians or when they are trying to rescue prisoners or capture enemies to interrogate. Which is actually a good tactic. Omega's plasma bow apparently doesn't have a stun mode, so the biological child is racking up a fairly high body count. But she seems to have fully committed to mastering the weapon ... so you go with what you have the best chance to hit with.
@@kenle2 yea in this episode it were mostly the technicians (the ones with the ugly black hats) that got stunned. As far as I remember then almost all of the Storm Troopers pretty much got killed on the spot.
Remember that Boba was "Alpha" the 1st clone and Omega is the last clone. So there were likely several different clone variations between Alpha and Omega and these female medical techs are one of those. I would assume that between Alpha and Omega they were updating and improving on each clone and Omega is the final product/perfect clone after all that time.
Theory: Hemlock has a deformity or some sort of condition that affects him, and is visible in his hand. That's why he wears the glove. That is also another one of his motivations in pursuing cloning research under the empire. Maybe that's why he was doing 'unorthodox experiments' at first. With organ cloning being introduced via Pershing in Mandalorian S3, maybe this is another link to that. Organ cloning certainly seems to not be a major thing before the empire, so perhaps this is one of the things going on at Tantiss
I felt bad when tech starting contemplating his situation, its a no win scenario that only he could take control of that very second. Thus the life of a true soldier.
Saw Gerrera is so blinded by his lust for revenge, he has no issue sacrificing countless bodies, yet all he ever accomplishes is mildly inconvenience Tarkin and his Summit housekeeper. And his incompetence not only fails to destroy Tarkin's base (and eliminate ANY of his targets), he compromised Crosshair and Omega, and cost CF99 a brother.
I predict that at the end of Season 3, the Bad Batch will cover their escape from Hemlock's facility by setting the lightning beast from Episode 11 loose to run amok. Probably Wrecker. That is all.
I'm still not convinced that Tech is dead. Hemlock only recovering the goggles is just proof that they didn't find a body and presumed he must be dead, which is exactly what the Bad Batch did. Granted, it seems highly likely that Tech died, but you can never be sure unless you see a body, which we did not. I have no idea how he could have survived, but maybe he could have angled his descent to aim at a river or body of water or something? There was all that fog, but if anyone could remember where such a body of water was from memorizing terrain features on maps or scans, it's Tech. I can't say that I believe that he's alive, but I'm definitely not convinced that he's dead.
I love watching your reactions and hearing your insights has been at the forefront of why I subscribed. Also helps that we watch a lot of the same shows. My only problem is that whenever I like a video of yours, youtube puts 20 others like it in my feed.
I loved the scene in Andor with Saw. And I loved your point on him. Hes a man willing to go to any length to do what he thinks is right, and despite him being a rebel, hes a great way to show how the Rebels arent exactly "Good Guys". They have to become the empire to defeat them.
He doesn’t think about the consequences of his actions. He wants immediate satisfaction. That’s his flaw. He thinks a good feeling in the moment is worth more than a plan that takes down may be a bunch of faceless people. Like the death star.
As someone who gave psychosocial support to refugees in the past I love Saw as a character due too his realistic actions. Although his actions are repetitive, it still applies very much in the real world. Remind you that he was one of the first characters that caused the spark of the Rebellion due too his actions on Onderon. He later parted ways with the Rebellion due too his extreme tactics which cared little for collateral damage. Those tactics also caused him to lose his sister blinding him with anger, rage and regret. His character reminds me of Pain from Naruto whom I wrote about years ago in college. Pain lost so much due too other parties who destroyed his nation, that he ultimately became the very thing he hated. Blinded by those emotions he took out not only high ranking opponents but also civilians. Its similair too the refugees I helped from AF and ME and during my time in those places. I've met people who lost their siblings, parents or friends in U.S. airstrikes and during civil war. They were never compensated for those losses, instead they felt attacked by a foreign entity who either directly attacked them or deliberately set up locals against eachother but they did not seek revenge. That's why I love Saw's character and Star Wars. You're no different from the empire once you act like them. In the real world, we might see ourselves as the rebels but who says that we're not the empire and the real rebels are the people we invaded in the name of democracy and freedom while we all knew that national resources were looted and the wrong parties were given financial support which sparked even more division and terror amongst the local population, even locking up those who say the truth (Assange). Anyone, literally anyone can become a rebel or someone who inflicts extreme terror when they go through injustice inflicted by others, especially foreign entities. Saw is a product of his environment, he might be repetitive but his character is as real as it gets. Steela kept him in line, she saw the bigger picture but once he lost her, those uncontrollable feelings only fed his hunger for extreme tactics. Logic is thrown out of the window and the only thing that matters is inflicting damage irregardless of the civilian casualties. That's the irony of men. We're all sad and angry about Techs death being caused by Saw but in reality, from his perspective, it was the Batch that sabotaged his mission. We as the spectators witnessed Tech's story, his highs and his lows but if we never were introduced to his character, we would've cared less for his death. One of my favorite quotes from Tech "Understanding you does not mean that I agree with you" also applies to Saw. His character is so realistic and I understand him but I'd never agree with his actions.
This 2 part finale was so Empire Strikes Back. It's torture to keep this cliffhanger for at least another year. Sid totally pulled a Lando. I won't hold my breath, but I can see her try to make it up to them.
When I look at typical Star Wars storytelling in comparison, we're in the same place with the end of season 2 as we were with Empire Strikes Back. The heroes were betrayed by a person they were trying to hide with (Lando=Sid). They have suffered a loss. But the fact that supposedly only the glasses could be recovered makes me suspect that Tech isn't really dead. They have to free a captured friend (Han=Crosshair/Omega). They managed to evoke exactly the same mood in the viewer as after Empire Strikes Back, and they did it really well, because it shows that they managed to connect us to the characters. I'm looking forward to season 3.
Yeah, in Rogue One, during the Yavin 4 scenes you see the Ghost parked outside the hanger, and see Chopper in the hanger close to the time you see C-3P0 and R2 and you hear over the PA an announcement calling for General Syndulla (Hera).
Here's my two cents...If Crosshair is alive why not Tech. Tech might be in a bacta tank but those glasses that Hemlock gave up really bug me. If you pay attention to Tech's glasses, the red light is attached to the frames. Hemlock's version have the light attached to the band strap. Likewise clones collect deceased clones helmets why a pair of glasses and not the helmet? The Bad Batch HAVE been to an unnamed research facility BEFORE to rescue another clone in (S1: E14 War Mantle). Sounds like a place to start to me. Tech Lives
Now imagine Dave finally introduces live-action Rex in 'Ahsoka' and then.... (On a different note, it'd be hilarious to me if Dave's been filming Tem as dozens of different live-action clones this whole time, for like the last five-plus years, since he'd have to composite so many Tems together if he's ever gonna have a bunch of distinct clones on-screen.)
I won’t be able to watch this properly until later tonight (power outage and crappy data), but I’ve been looking forward to / dreading this video. I knew a lot of reactors would have strong reactions to this, but I specifically thought “damn, Angela’s gonna have a tough time with this one!” This was some top-tier Star Wars, but damn it was tough!
As i was watching Tech run along thd rail with the fighters shooting at him i thought it would make perfect sense to spend so much of the season focusing on Tech, just for him to die, build up that emotional connection Saw is the reason Tech is dead, he just goes around doing things his way & anyone who gets hurt is just collatereal damage Watching you make yourself cry in the intro before anything even happened was like watching two trains on a collision course and nothing being able to stop it. I love Tech but i hope that he didn't survive. Star Wars has a major mortality problem they just can't let a character rest and it cheapens the emotions that you go through when you lose them. As you said Tech had an amazing send off, he went out a hero. I was gutted to lose him but thats life and i don't like how Star Wars constantly whitewashes reality by constantly bringing characters back. Loved the reaction, looking forward to watching S3 with you when it happens.
I think Cid was always going to be regretful and feel guilt for turning them in, but I think when she learned about what happened to Tech the guilt was just magnified tenfold. I also feel it's no coincidence that Cid's betrayal happened on the week of Easter, literally two days before Good Friday
Rebels is definitely not just for kids: it’s the most emotional/ moving Star Wars content going in my opinion. Fingers crossed Tech is still alive, but I can’t see how he would have survived the fall. It’s going to be a while before we find out!🥺
I was and still am, even days after, devastated by Tech's sacrifice and like most fans in willed total denial!!! Not many "movie deaths" have had such an emotional impact on me... 😭😭😭 Kevin Kiner amazing score really doubled that emotion ... I hate and love it! ;/ Tech is NOT dead... he's NOT, he's NOT, he's NOT, he's NOT! ...🙉
Telling you. Tech will return with a cyborg arm as The Winter Clone. Disney keeps killing characters when they show trains suspended in the mountains and snow- we saw it in Captain America, in Solo and now here too. Never go one those missions. As to Omega and her "older sister"- I think Omega is the key to stopping the rapid aging of the Clones. Nala Sey might be doing that as a side gig.
Trandoshan Jedi Master Sskeer from The High Republic era says oi! 😂 and fantastic reaction Angela, didn't wanna watch with you til now cos well, your pain is just obvious, heartbreaking, shared and tough to go through. 😢
Should have known that we are in trouble when they bring out the real orchestra for the final episode, after having synthesizer sound for the rest of the season.
Do we know Tech is dead? Surely his glasses wouldn't detach from his head mid-fall. To me, it makes more sense that Tech survived, and didn't have need of/couldn't use broken glasses and left them behind.
It’s okay to not be okay. Story wise, all that went down is really good writing- very compelling. I “blame” Saw for Tech’s demise, but what we’ve been seeing since Clone Wars, Rebels, Andor and ultimately in Rogue One, his decent down the Dark Side since losing his sister.
Saw was created by George Lucas to represent the trap of fanaticism. Evil in the name of the greater good is just evil. Filoni and Lucas have both discussed his importance to the universe.

This was a very emotional episode I never thought I would feel teary-eyed over the death of an animated character.
Watch Grave of the Fireflies...
@@shaderax_storm6165 It’s a great film, but not one I’d watch repeatedly.
A bit like Schindlers List.
Never watch Bambi then?
Joel's death was heartbreaking too
full metal alchemists.
I didn't expect for these episodes to hit as hard as they did. Tech fell and I yelled "NO! No, no, no!"
Saw is an interesting character example of the opposite extreme.
Omega's moment of grief after she wakes up was probably the moment that hit me the most. That realization setting in, still gets me teary eyed.
She definitely will be the one that feels that lost the deepest. Probably the most like us.
That one got to me as well
Yeah. I cried too. I'll admit it. 😭
Btw, that was actually Ben Mendelsohn voicing Krennec. Albeit very brief.
Ben Mendelsohn! I could not think of his name to save my life… And I was filming on my phone so I couldn’t look it up. Lol. That Krennec reveal was perfect. Definitely made my ears perk up.

Still, I also think the best way to do it would be to keep him dead
I’d rather him be dead than to be hemlock’s experiment. That would be even worse
I wasn't expecting that ending for this season. Don't these guys ever get a break
They need Pabu. That's the endgame goal I think.
Was so waiting for this reaction. Knew you were goung ti cry which made me cry again lol. Awesome reaction as always!
I can’t believe they killed off Tech. I still think Hemlock saying that he “salvaged” Tech’s glasses, means that there may be a chance Tech got away. At least that’s the hope I’m holding onto.
I knew when I saw the episode that your reaction was going to be Heartbreaking and Saw actually can be blamed for what happened to tech as the explosion messed with the cart also Hemlock could actually have taken Tech kinda like a Winter soldier situation but like in Star Wars if I didn't see it happen or Saw the Body There is Still a Chance.
@@funnylilgalreacts Yeah, I don't think Tech is dead. Hemlock is like the Mouth of Sauron holding up Frodo's mithril shirt. Probably be reunited with Tech in the first two episodes of next season.

15:57 To answer to your question : Probably Lyra Erso (Galen Erso's wife and Jyn Erso's mom) 😉
Two very Rogue One-ish episodes ! With Saw Gerrera and Orson Krennic's appearances... As well as the overall tone, storyline (invading an imperial facility), and tragic outcome (not as tragic, fortunately)...
The start of the video talking about logitech cameras going to a graveyard… and the way this season finale went with tech… 😅
Oh god. Oh no. I couldn’t have planned that if I tried…. Wow.
Just started watching this reaction. Oh God if she’s this emotional now. How is the poor girl going to get through this? We’re here for you. 🧡🧡🧡
Between having TECHnical drama and Tech drama I’m spent 🥲
Not saying "I'm glad to see you cry" but genuine emotion from invested Star Wars fans is why I love this franchise so much, and will always keep me coming back for more!
Your reactions are great! You let yourself show true emotion. You're the one reactor that I'm genuinely like "Man, I hope she remembers to breathe!"
This is the reaction I was most looking forward to. My face was an absolute mess for like 90% of the finale and of course the waterworks turned back on re-watching it with you. Even though I'm convinced that Tech is not truly dead. He had boosters on his pack and he could have possibly been able to reuse his grappler as well. I think he either lost his goggles during the fall or he ditched them to throw the Empire off his trail. Our boy is too smart and resourceful. And for Hemlock to say that is all he could salvage makes me think that there wasn't a body. Or if there was, then he probably took Tech back with him for his experiments. I'm not giving up hope. Unfortunately we have to wait a while before getting answers but man... what a ride it's been. I just started watching The Bad Batch this year and I never would have thought it would be this good. Absolutely fantastic. Hope you're feeling a little better.
The Batch stun clones and civilians, they have not problems killing Stormtroopers.
Knew you would be devastated about our boy!!😢😔 It was a solid finale!!
So. Good.
So. Devastating.
What a great show this is! You are so right too, these Star Wars animated shows are so much more than kids shows and people just don’t know what they are missing!! Loved your reaction Angela, I’m a grown man sitting here tearing up myself watching you cry over Tech. 😢 I kinda hope also he’s not dead but assuming he is what a great way for him to go out! Oh man you got me excited to eventually see the Marauder in live action one day! 🤞
I am not getting over this death for a while. Of all the animated characters that have been lost, Tech was by far and away the most innocent. And the implications of the goggles give me the idea that he unfortunately died a painful slow death in the frigid mountains of Eriadu.
You could tell how shy/nervous Tech was around Phee in their last interaction. He was definitely not oblivious to either of their feelings
Why is it that an animated series, a cartoon, can illicit so much emotion in a grown man? I know why. The writing. The acting. The story. The way that they create characters who you get attached to. Dammit! I'm not crying. You're crying.
Goram Ninja's pealing Onions! They won't leave me alone!! No matter how many of them I wallop?!? In a manly fashion!?!
The guy who asked Hemlock if the clones agreed to his experiments was in Rouge One (18 years after this) and other old dude was seen in the clone wars show.
I kind of like watching these old reaction videos. It’s like seeing someone speed towards a brick wall in slow motion.
Tech's death was quite emotional and is, in my opinion, among the most underrated deaths in Star Wars.
I'm just going through a bunch of reaction videos to these episodes because I can't move on, and I really enjoyed yours
As soon as I saw this one, through my own tears, my first thought was that you would need a hug too!
:::HUGS:::
:::HUGS BACK:::
Can't wait for next season--!
Ty For Making A Playlist For Your Movies!! ✌️
18:16 Not a cliffhanger. A Cablehanger!
You felt a disturbance in the force even before you started the episode. Impressive...most impressive. They sure know how to make us fall in love with the clones and then ripping them from us.
Tarkan's compound = Eagle's Nest. It really has 'Where Eagles Dare' vibes.
Tech is still alive! No dead body, no death! He'll show up later saying "hi guys!" and then open up his abdomen to reveal gears and pistons like Fennic!
🤞😬🤞
I really hope not
I would just hate for them to give him such an amazing death for it to be in vain for him to just come back. I don’t know really how I feel about it today, but ask me in a year when the new season comes out I might be hopeful for it.
RIP Tech, you were a legend. The irony of Saw not killing Krennec and Tarkin here is that he'll be killed by them on Jedha in the end...
Just for added clarification, the two unnamed Imperials in attendance at the summit were Admiral Barton Coburn (commander of Master Plo Koon's naval forces during the Clone Wars) and General Hurst Romodi (Tarkin's most trusted adjutant in A New Hope and Rogue One.)
I half expected Tagge and Motti to be there but I'm a little fuzzy on their career timelines in the new canon.
Cid's betrayal was on the horizon but just didn't think it happened the way it did, especially after Techs sacrifice. I dreaded having to watch this episode again with you but it was necessary.
If Tech's death was a mislead, I will think poorly of the writers. They did a good job of building the emotional investment, it shouldn't be cheapened with "We didn't really mean it. Neener, neener, neener! Fooled ya!"
Yeah, I feel like when there’s some thing like that that’s so emotionally taxing it needs to be for real, and it needs to be permanent. As much as I hate to say that it was a beautiful scene, it was tragic and emotional, and it’s going to shift the batch to a darker side. I have a hope that he survived, but for his death to mean something it needs to be permanent.
Ben Mendelsohn was credited for Krennic in this episode. They likely used an audio clip from Rogue One rather than have him come in and record one small line.
One TH-camr rewatched the movie but he couldn't find the line in Rogue One. They had the actor come in to do this one specific line which shows normally don't do. Perhaps we'll see more of him next season.
@SamuraiBirds it could be from an unused take or something
They are filming the second season of Andor, so they could have Mendelson back for that and just gotten him to record the line between takes on the live-action show.
@@kenle2 They'd still have to credit and pay him separately, but yeah, it would be easy enough to do. Or they could have just had him record it with a decent webcam or microphone and email it to the studio.
Any of these things are possible but do remember they did a lot of reshoots for ROGUE ONE and much of the original story was restructured.
That means there was a wealth of unused audio from principal photography.
I was able, mostly because it was so inline with Tech's character, to keep it together, when Tech fell.... then Hemlock threw Hunter Tech's goggles. That moment pushed all the emotional buttons.
Me too. I was in too much shock when Tech died (though in retrospect the foreshadowing was rather obvious with the focus on the development of his character this season. The race episode where he truly gets to shine, his emotional confession to Omega in the cavern, even the name of the episode). It was the reveal of the goggles that got me. And if you look closely at the end of the episode when the Batch are in the Marauder you can see Wrecker caressing them on the background. Absolutely beautiful moment.
So there was a hint of Omega having a sister in season 1. The Batch think that Omega is one of the enhanced clones but Omega isn’t enhanced. She’s an unaltered clone. The remaining enhanced clone has to be this Dr.Emery chick.
I knew when I was upset watching these that you would be sobbing. Such a great show.
Tech is displaying all signs for autism. Kaminoans wanted superior engineer and superior soldier, all in one. And they got it. At expence of no social skills. I feel sorry for them both.
Right before Tech says “when have we ever followed orders?” , he gives out a sigh…to me that means he ran all the possible outcomes in his head and Plan 99 was the solution.
I bet Phee is going to avenge Tech in the next season …and help rescue Omega.
Everytime I see this. People say he will come back but that rail cart fell on him.
Wow, Angela. I knew you’d take Tech hard, but you always surprise me with the size of your heart. You rock, never change, and keep up the awesome!!!
🥺🖤
Looking back at this after the series finale...
.
.
.
I am so glad they didn't waste his sacrifice by bringing him back
Watch the credits. It was Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennic.
I hope it isn’t out of line to say this: Every time I see you cry, it makes me cry. I wish I could give you a hug.
Dammit - That's the 3rd time I've cried over Tech 😢😢😢
1st time was when I saw the episode
2nd time was when I saw LouiseJulie's reaction video
3rd time is now when I watch your reaction...
I'm a 46yo tradie, and I can't handle this emotional trauma of loosing one of my favorite cartoon characters!!!! Damn you Filoni!!!
That Hair, uniform and - most of all - voice actor places the dude in my top 5 of Evilness.Well, other than the name.C'mon, dude is basically named "Dr: poisonous plant well know".
Been desperately wanting you to show these episodes and the last of Severance, both of which I knew would be good reactions.
This one didn't disappoint!
I’ve finished severance and oooh boy 😅
I know as soon as people start sending me messages that they can’t wait for me to watch a specific episode that it’s probably gonna hit me harder than maybe a casual viewer 😂😭
@@funnylilgalreacts If you're looking for something to watch in the future and haven't already seen it I recommend giving Firefly a try (and the Serenity movie afterwards).
Based on the other shows you've enjoyed I reckon you'd really like it.
Saw really messed up everything, not only did his own mission fail but he completely messed up the Bad Batch’s mission which caused Tech to die. There’s definitely a reason why Steela was chosen as the leader of the Onderon rebels during the clone wars. Because she was the more tactical and compassionate leader while her brother was reckless, and hateful even more so after she died which made him do stupid things like what we just saw and later during Rebels when he was with Ezra and Sabine he caused a giant Kyber Crystal to explode with Ezra and Sabine still on board which it was going to be used as part of the power source for the laser on the Death Star. One of the only good things that Saw ever did was keep Jyn alive after her mom was killed and her father captured until he was like “your on your own now kid”
Until they actually show his body, I don’t believe he’s really gone. Just remember: everyone thought Echo died in the Clone Wars, but that was proven wrong. I think Filoni just ‘pulled an Echo’ on us.
This! Hemlock has him for leverage, or he managed to survive and is gone to ground and gonna hodge podge together a way to let the others know where they are at.
You know we technically never saw a body so I would like to believe that means we have some hope that tech somehow survived that fall despite the Empire finding his goggles
"When have we ever followed orders?" What a line
"When have we ever followed orders?"
Nooooooo! Rip Tech, one of the finest soldiers the galaxy could of asked for. Heartbreaking.😥😥😥
It's also an interesting contrast to "Good soldiers follow orders."
The Krennic reveal with the Rogue One music was perfect.
double drop episodes and its an emotional roller coaster.... i can't wait for season 3
AWWW I wish I could give you a big hug.
The finale needed a trigger warning for *emotional damage* 💔
It will be so sweet if Omega gets to wear Tech's goggles in the future 🤧
Predictions for S3...since the group lost their moral compass which is Omega, I think we will see massive charcater shifts, especially in Hunter's character arc.
We all learned a valuable lesson that Wookie's already knew. NEVER trust a Trandosian.
When people say they don't watch cartoons because it's for kids, I can't help but shake my head. Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch have all proven how animated shows can have some very dark and serious tones. And don't even get me started on all the adult themes in shows like Arcane. With exception to Rogue One and Andor, the best Star Wars content in the last 20 years can all be found in the animated series.
YES and so many people will never give it a try! It's insane!
ITS JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER-
ITS JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER-
ITS JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER-
HES NOT JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER AND I LOVE HIM SO FRICKING MUCH- 😭💔
Never apologize for how you feel. You're a Star Wars fan and you are a human being. Like us. Like me.
Hemlock is voiced by the brilliantly talented Jimmi Simpson. The man is a chameleon in drama and comedic acting, as well as voice acting. In the animated series Star Trek Prodigy, he voices the absolutely terrifying robot Drednok. If you want to see him in his best drama role so far, I highly recommend season 1 of Westworld.
I think in regards to shots, then the blue circle shots are stuns while the red lines are killing shots - or that's as far as I get it. Also, they usually only use stun on the other Clone troopers, but the storm troopers gets no mercy it seems
They are very careful to only stun their brothers. They were all bred to be good soldiers following orders. Stormtroopers chose this evil.
They were using stun on most enemies up until recently (except vehicles, probably because stun wouldn't work on heavy armor, and the slavers because ... slavers).
But, I think they're only using stun now on non-combatants like unarmed technicians or when they are trying to rescue prisoners or capture enemies to interrogate.
Which is actually a good tactic.
Omega's plasma bow apparently doesn't have a stun mode, so the biological child is racking up a fairly high body count. But she seems to have fully committed to mastering the weapon ... so you go with what you have the best chance to hit with.
@@kenle2 yea in this episode it were mostly the technicians (the ones with the ugly black hats) that got stunned. As far as I remember then almost all of the Storm Troopers pretty much got killed on the spot.
Remember that Boba was "Alpha" the 1st clone and Omega is the last clone. So there were likely several different clone variations between Alpha and Omega and these female medical techs are one of those. I would assume that between Alpha and Omega they were updating and improving on each clone and Omega is the final product/perfect clone after all that time.
I love your channel I just finished this show
Theory: Hemlock has a deformity or some sort of condition that affects him, and is visible in his hand. That's why he wears the glove. That is also another one of his motivations in pursuing cloning research under the empire. Maybe that's why he was doing 'unorthodox experiments' at first. With organ cloning being introduced via Pershing in Mandalorian S3, maybe this is another link to that. Organ cloning certainly seems to not be a major thing before the empire, so perhaps this is one of the things going on at Tantiss
I felt bad when tech starting contemplating his situation, its a no win scenario that only he could take control of that very second. Thus the life of a true soldier.
Saw Gerrera is so blinded by his lust for revenge, he has no issue sacrificing countless bodies, yet all he ever accomplishes is mildly inconvenience Tarkin and his Summit housekeeper. And his incompetence not only fails to destroy Tarkin's base (and eliminate ANY of his targets), he compromised Crosshair and Omega, and cost CF99 a brother.
I predict that at the end of Season 3, the Bad Batch will cover their escape from Hemlock's facility by setting the lightning beast from Episode 11 loose to run amok. Probably Wrecker. That is all.
I'm still not convinced that Tech is dead. Hemlock only recovering the goggles is just proof that they didn't find a body and presumed he must be dead, which is exactly what the Bad Batch did. Granted, it seems highly likely that Tech died, but you can never be sure unless you see a body, which we did not. I have no idea how he could have survived, but maybe he could have angled his descent to aim at a river or body of water or something? There was all that fog, but if anyone could remember where such a body of water was from memorizing terrain features on maps or scans, it's Tech. I can't say that I believe that he's alive, but I'm definitely not convinced that he's dead.
I was thinking the same thing. No body, not dead. And producing just the Goggles is a bit too convenient.
Your reactions were my reactions. I also absolutely lose it when Omega breaks down.
In Star Wars, unless you see the body, the character is still alive...
I love watching your reactions and hearing your insights has been at the forefront of why I subscribed. Also helps that we watch a lot of the same shows. My only problem is that whenever I like a video of yours, youtube puts 20 others like it in my feed.
I loved the scene in Andor with Saw. And I loved your point on him. Hes a man willing to go to any length to do what he thinks is right, and despite him being a rebel, hes a great way to show how the Rebels arent exactly "Good Guys". They have to become the empire to defeat them.
He doesn’t think about the consequences of his actions. He wants immediate satisfaction. That’s his flaw. He thinks a good feeling in the moment is worth more than a plan that takes down may be a bunch of faceless people. Like the death star.
As someone who gave psychosocial support to refugees in the past I love Saw as a character due too his realistic actions. Although his actions are repetitive, it still applies very much in the real world. Remind you that he was one of the first characters that caused the spark of the Rebellion due too his actions on Onderon. He later parted ways with the Rebellion due too his extreme tactics which cared little for collateral damage. Those tactics also caused him to lose his sister blinding him with anger, rage and regret. His character reminds me of Pain from Naruto whom I wrote about years ago in college. Pain lost so much due too other parties who destroyed his nation, that he ultimately became the very thing he hated. Blinded by those emotions he took out not only high ranking opponents but also civilians. Its similair too the refugees I helped from AF and ME and during my time in those places. I've met people who lost their siblings, parents or friends in U.S. airstrikes and during civil war. They were never compensated for those losses, instead they felt attacked by a foreign entity who either directly attacked them or deliberately set up locals against eachother but they did not seek revenge. That's why I love Saw's character and Star Wars. You're no different from the empire once you act like them. In the real world, we might see ourselves as the rebels but who says that we're not the empire and the real rebels are the people we invaded in the name of democracy and freedom while we all knew that national resources were looted and the wrong parties were given financial support which sparked even more division and terror amongst the local population, even locking up those who say the truth (Assange). Anyone, literally anyone can become a rebel or someone who inflicts extreme terror when they go through injustice inflicted by others, especially foreign entities. Saw is a product of his environment, he might be repetitive but his character is as real as it gets. Steela kept him in line, she saw the bigger picture but once he lost her, those uncontrollable feelings only fed his hunger for extreme tactics. Logic is thrown out of the window and the only thing that matters is inflicting damage irregardless of the civilian casualties. That's the irony of men. We're all sad and angry about Techs death being caused by Saw but in reality, from his perspective, it was the Batch that sabotaged his mission. We as the spectators witnessed Tech's story, his highs and his lows but if we never were introduced to his character, we would've cared less for his death. One of my favorite quotes from Tech "Understanding you does not mean that I agree with you" also applies to Saw. His character is so realistic and I understand him but I'd never agree with his actions.
This 2 part finale was so Empire Strikes Back. It's torture to keep this cliffhanger for at least another year. Sid totally pulled a Lando. I won't hold my breath, but I can see her try to make it up to them.
When I look at typical Star Wars storytelling in comparison, we're in the same place with the end of season 2 as we were with Empire Strikes Back.
The heroes were betrayed by a person they were trying to hide with (Lando=Sid). They have suffered a loss. But the fact that supposedly only the glasses could be recovered makes me suspect that Tech isn't really dead.
They have to free a captured friend (Han=Crosshair/Omega).
They managed to evoke exactly the same mood in the viewer as after Empire Strikes Back, and they did it really well, because it shows that they managed to connect us to the characters.
I'm looking forward to season 3.
Yeah, in Rogue One, during the Yavin 4 scenes you see the Ghost parked outside the hanger, and see Chopper in the hanger close to the time you see C-3P0 and R2 and you hear over the PA an announcement calling for General Syndulla (Hera).
Well shit. I need to go back and rewatch it just to get some feels
Here's my two cents...If Crosshair is alive why not Tech. Tech might be in a bacta tank but those glasses that Hemlock gave up really bug me. If you pay attention to Tech's glasses, the red light is attached to the frames. Hemlock's version have the light attached to the band strap. Likewise clones collect deceased clones helmets why a pair of glasses and not the helmet? The Bad Batch HAVE been to an unnamed research facility BEFORE to rescue another clone in (S1: E14 War Mantle). Sounds like a place to start to me. Tech Lives
Now imagine Dave finally introduces live-action Rex in 'Ahsoka' and then.... (On a different note, it'd be hilarious to me if Dave's been filming Tem as dozens of different live-action clones this whole time, for like the last five-plus years, since he'd have to composite so many Tems together if he's ever gonna have a bunch of distinct clones on-screen.)
I won’t be able to watch this properly until later tonight (power outage and crappy data), but I’ve been looking forward to / dreading this video. I knew a lot of reactors would have strong reactions to this, but I specifically thought “damn, Angela’s gonna have a tough time with this one!” This was some top-tier Star Wars, but damn it was tough!
As i was watching Tech run along thd rail with the fighters shooting at him i thought it would make perfect sense to spend so much of the season focusing on Tech, just for him to die, build up that emotional connection
Saw is the reason Tech is dead, he just goes around doing things his way & anyone who gets hurt is just collatereal damage
Watching you make yourself cry in the intro before anything even happened was like watching two trains on a collision course and nothing being able to stop it.
I love Tech but i hope that he didn't survive. Star Wars has a major mortality problem they just can't let a character rest and it cheapens the emotions that you go through when you lose them.
As you said Tech had an amazing send off, he went out a hero. I was gutted to lose him but thats life and i don't like how Star Wars constantly whitewashes reality by constantly bringing characters back.
Loved the reaction, looking forward to watching S3 with you when it happens.
Donatello was my favorite ninja turtle, too 😢😢😢
I was sad too.when tech was just gone like that.and i hope it Will be more episode on the bad Batch later on.and be safe and take care
As always Angela great reaction and I love your afterthoughts. Keep up the great work.
🖤
I think Cid was always going to be regretful and feel guilt for turning them in, but I think when she learned about what happened to Tech the guilt was just magnified tenfold. I also feel it's no coincidence that Cid's betrayal happened on the week of Easter, literally two days before Good Friday
Don't worry i heard next season Tech's voice actor is back.
😂 by far the best comments I’ve heard about Tech
@@funnylilgalreacts lol, one of my favorite jokes to say during the clone wars when a fan favorite clone died.
Rebels is definitely not just for kids: it’s the most emotional/ moving Star Wars content going in my opinion. Fingers crossed Tech is still alive, but I can’t see how he would have survived the fall. It’s going to be a while before we find out!🥺
I was and still am, even days after, devastated by Tech's sacrifice and like most fans in willed total denial!!! Not many "movie deaths" have had such an emotional impact on me... 😭😭😭 Kevin Kiner amazing score really doubled that emotion ... I hate and love it! ;/
Tech is NOT dead... he's NOT, he's NOT, he's NOT, he's NOT! ...🙉
They stun clones, and kill anyone else. If you watch back slowly they treat their replacements pretty violently hehe.
Been waiting for this. 🫂
Telling you. Tech will return with a cyborg arm as The Winter Clone.
Disney keeps killing characters when they show trains suspended in the mountains and snow- we saw it in Captain America, in Solo and now here too.
Never go one those missions.
As to Omega and her "older sister"- I think Omega is the key to stopping the rapid aging of the Clones. Nala Sey might be doing that as a side gig.
You need a hug after that episode.....we all do :(
Trandoshan Jedi Master Sskeer from The High Republic era says oi! 😂
and fantastic reaction Angela, didn't wanna watch with you til now cos well, your pain is just obvious, heartbreaking, shared and tough to go through. 😢
I love your content!! Just subscribed! Keep up the awesome work!!
Should have known that we are in trouble when they bring out the real orchestra for the final episode, after having synthesizer sound for the rest of the season.
Saw G showing why the rest of the Rebel Alliance wanted nothing to do with him.
Do we know Tech is dead? Surely his glasses wouldn't detach from his head mid-fall. To me, it makes more sense that Tech survived, and didn't have need of/couldn't use broken glasses and left them behind.
It’s okay to not be okay. Story wise, all that went down is really good writing- very compelling. I “blame” Saw for Tech’s demise, but what we’ve been seeing since Clone Wars, Rebels, Andor and ultimately in Rogue One, his decent down the Dark Side since losing his sister.
Saw was created by George Lucas to represent the trap of fanaticism. Evil in the name of the greater good is just evil. Filoni and Lucas have both discussed his importance to the universe.
Oh boy I was waiting for this reaction!!
