It was refreshing seeing a clone commando that actually cared about his clone brothers. Hilo is a good man.
Underrated comment
I dunno, Dee Baker seemed pretty adamant that Tech was actually dead.
Actors are known to lie on studio direction in order to hide spoilers
Same was said about Rex, as commander wolffe said..
I think he's alive only beacuse Tech fell, but they found his helmet....no body....so did he take the helmet off mid flight for some reason and his body just blows up?
I agree… we shall see!!
@@billyccall5774yea that’s the odd part about his death. Hemlock got his goggles which means he found tech or his remains and grabbed it, the goggles were surprisingly intact for someone falling and possibly hit by debris and his goggles are under his helmet so if the goggles are mostly unharmed then what about the helmet or the other armour parts?
Something else that could hint towards tech as a assassin is the trailer we see the empire lane on pabu with that clone assassin in the middle of the shot, it’s said that the planet is very hidden away and secretive the only outsiders that know of it that we know are the bad batch and Rex so if tech was captured then brainwashed the planets location would be revealed thus the invasion we see in the trailer
Think it's Cody personally. Sure, he has a voice modulator, but underneath it you can sort of hear a more gravelly version of the standard clone voice rather than Tech's more British accent. It would also give a bit of closure on what happened to Cody after his sudden disappearance in season 2.
Yeah, I think having it be Cody would make more sense in the long run. Personally, I'm hoping it's the case.
My first guess was that i is a clone of Crosshair
ive seen three possible theories for who the clone assassin may be:
1) Tech reborn
2) Cody
3) a clone of Crosshair
i think tech reborn is the less likely, seeing as Crosshair said they tried brainwashing him and it failed because he's a defective clone, so that means that the brainwashing should be ineffective on Tech as well.
True. Even if he didn’t die from the fall, I still think Hemlock would’ve put him down regardless of his health.
I am pretty sure in legends Cody was one of the first dark troopers as well. So maybe it was why he "went awol"
I think he’d be a named but unpopular clone
Cody defected last season though after his mission with Crosshair. I'm not so sure he'd be a viable candidate for the operative.
@@ilsingr5750 i doubt any of the clones they were brainwashing were willingly going along with it all lol. but the clone operative was using the same blade Cody had last season. you never know
I genuinely hope we get to see more of Clone X before they unmask him. Also more time building up the Clone Underground. Really hope to see Wolffe and his crew join Rex
I'd imagine we will since we see them in Rebels
It makes sense, since we do see Wolffe in Rebels.
The way the shadow clone talked definitely made me think more of Crosshair. I'm guessing when they couldn't get the real deal they cloned him asap. There were a lot of little hints in episode 7 that made me think that, with the shadow unit's marksmanship, using techniques in the spire that crosshair replicated immediately after like looking for light from inside the shaft, and don't forget, Crosshair is also pretty skinny and has the same helmet sight. I'm also not sure that tech or a clone of him would be near as good at being a sniper. It would make more sense as to why the other shadow clone recognized crosshair and reacted to him when he got into the room. With all the blood they've been extracting from the clone prisoners, they easily could have had their pick of who to clone at any point.
With the episode quality so far this season, I'm honestly pumped for whatever the outcome is.
*Fun fact:* Armand Isard is part of the New Canon, but, at this point, he only made a brief appearance in the Tarkin novel, written at first as part of Legends
So, does that mean we'll be getting back the Uber-Bitch Ysane Isard?
nice ultramarines at 2:06
I mean, it could either be tech orrr Cody, bc we still aren't sure what happened to Cody all we know is he left the empire, but tech also did fall a very long way and his Google's were pretty banged up so either they had to put some kind of equipment in tech making him more cyborg or something like that. That's just kind of my thoughts on the bad batch so far.
Strong argument at the end there. While the show has already handled the idea of a rift in the family/Batch, their preference for redemption would be tested more by a properly brainwashed friend-now-foe.
Armand Isard is a pretty fascinating and underrated villain. He not only he appeared in OT material, but also at the beginning of the "Millenium Falcon" novel as the Head of Republic Intelligence, trying to stop during the events of Episode III the smugglers who owned at that time the Falcon
The fuck kind of English is this? You have a stroke or something typing this up?
What is damn unfortunate is the fact that in legends Armand Isard had a daughter, who was far far more evil than he would ever be. But there is no sign of her in canon so far… which might be the result of Kathleen Kennedy being a girlboss since she’s probably opposed to the idea of there being a female main antagonist for anything.
@michielkudova3887 Yeah imagine a woman being a main antagonist in the new Canon
Which admiral founded and ran the first order by the way
@@Kingpin6100 aside from a brief cameo in star wars squadrons, we haven’t seen her since those novels ended, and i loved her character by the way.
man if crosshair was in his prime before his injury, that shadow would have gotten clapped in their first battle!!
I think it would be a lot more interesting if that Clone X was Cody. Imagine Rex's reaction if they capture him, take his helmet off, and Rex recognizes Cody's scar on his forehead.
These Shadow Operatives reminds me of the Covert Ops Clone Troopers
Hemlock will answer for this. Turning clone against clone.
Man these two episodes have been my favorite so far.
Something is wrong with hemlock hand he keeps scratching it and wears a glove over it
1:54 Figures that one of the most twisted minds in the republic and empire would come up with something as sick and twisted as the shadow trooper program.
7:06
that's a risk geetsly is willing to take
Meanwhile, the editor's probably thinking, "Ha! Joke's on you-- I don't *have* kids!" 😀
@@BennyLlama39
getsly: not any more 😈
There are three options for the clone assassin we keep seeing throughout the two episodes
1. It's Tech
2. It's Cody
3. It's a completely new clone we haven't seen before
Maybe it's Tech, maybe it's just a regular brainwashed clone. I can say, that when CX1 was fighting Crossy hand x hand + when he whipped out that vibroblade, CX1 started spewing Cody vibes, at least for me. His fighting style/execution kept reminding me of Cody ~ especially in TBB s2ep3 when he & Crosshair went to Desix. The tower's spiral staircase fight scene with the commando droids, something about CX1's movements brought me back to Cody's fight scenes. But until he's caught & his helmet is removed, we're all just speculating.
I believe it’s either gonna be commander Cody or tech but still are both very shocking, and it is going to be done the most saddest way possible once we find out
Didn't have any theories about the mystery shadow trooper up until the waterfall fight, the ST says "You had your chance to be one of us" and I instantly though that sounded like it was supposed to imply that Crosshair had the chance to be a Shadow, but after they reveal that its Tech it reads as Crosshair had his chance to be part of the Bad Batch
Only problem with that is both the 2nd captured operative and the 3rd assassin said the sane thing. The unmasked operative was a reg that pointed suspicion at crosshair before he was eliminated which nearly caused howzer to draw his sidearm. The 3rd said it while drowning crosshair. They are probably just from the same batch of prisoners integrated into the program
If it is tech I hope that crosshair already knows.
I really thought the way Disney thinks that Tech would still be alive
If anyone ever thinks of dropping their interest in StarWars, show them this video, or the recent one on Battle of Coruscant. It is, in a word, based.
Honour & gratitude to you, Geetsly's Team, for your service to all StarWars fans.
I think it’s Cody that’s the shadow trooper, Cody was a friend to the batch
If Dave Filoni really wants to show how good of a writer he is. He will go through with the reveal that it’s tech after he shot in the chest and dying. (in a morbid and horrific call back to five’s death from clone wars.) bonus points if either crosshair or echo pulls the trigger on him.
Bringing back a character who sacrificed himself is not what I’d call good writing.
@@ShadowCompany01 yes…bur having the character die in the arms of his squadmates is better then dropping him from a high ledge
I love both these episodes clone shadows troopers are one of my favorite clone trooper variants in All of star wars
There's a lot done well in just two episodes. It lays down early hints of the rebel alliance, has a lot of character interaction that suits them well, and kept me engaged a the whole time where a lot of recent stuff doesn't. I'm not sure how many noticed, but Crosshair has also shifted a bit in personality. He's gotten a lot more protective of Omega now. It wouldn't be a surprise if the operative was Tech, as he seems to have a personal hatred of them, and there are subtle hints that he knows a little more than he said.
I had my suspicions that was a miraculously resurrected and remolded Tech. I kept thinking, all the way through those last two eps, "I bet that's Tech".
I watched both episodes today before watching this video and I didn’t think that the agent chasing them was tech in the slightest but after watching the break down you guys did in the video it definitely seems likely.
Maybe Cody tried to escape the empire, got captured and got brainwashed/reprocessed because of his extensive experience.
If they have tech as the shadow trooper I’ll be mad as hell
did anyone notice the error when captain wolf drew his sidearm it disappeared when he lowered it. his hand is still positioned like he's holding a blaster but is empty, this happens on the lower platform after the crew temporarily escape into the jungle
And the floating helmet on the ship at the end
I think the more likely theory of the one's proposed is that the shadow operative is a clone of crosshair
like the scope coming down over his eye is just like what crosshair does, he's just as effective as a sharpshooter, and he also has a habit of defying orders from superiors like commander wolffe.
his armor bears just as much if not more resemblance to crosshair's than it does tech's so acting like it's confirmed to be tech seems a bit premature
It takes years for a clone to get that age
@@danielredziniak2996 not with the legends sparti cloning tech
I think that the clone operator is Cody, that's why it was a tense fight with Crosshair. It plays off of the camaraderie he had with Cody.
The way the Shadow jumped down the tunnel, hold on to the wall dozens of meters below and still survived was unnecessary and unrealistic. The Rest of the Episodes were great tho. The Visuals especially. And the ships look good two. 👍
I hope it's Tech and I think it is. Though I would expect him to be a cyborg after that rail car landed on him.. but who knows what he landed on at the bottom of that ravine. A nice big pine tree I'm guessing
I hadn’t put two and two together yet, but I definitely thought of Tech when he fell down the waterfall. I think you may be right
Yes we absolutely want a dedicated video about the clone wars shadow troopers. Can't get enough of them they're red and black badass armor and mysterious nature has always intrigued me ever since they were first introduced as figures
Well crosshair also had a dropdown visor and is skinnier. + This shadow clone was a formidable sniper. So he could be a clone that used Crosshair's genetic template
Well, one of the golden rules of Star Wars deaths is, they're alive if there is no dead body. Unless they end up becoming a force ghost of course.
Seeing Wolfee in this ep made my day
Unhinged battle troopers? Man unhinged discord server
How come? I don't have discord or know what it is.
@@Crazy_Talk96 discord is platform to talk to people and you can create chat groups called servers, geetsly made one and some of the people in it were talking about some weird stuff
@@coloneloper yikes
Question: By the time of the Third Republic, where will the suviving Clones be? If there some that are still alive by that period, of course.
I been saying this since Tech fell; they're doing the Winter Soldier story with him. I honestly hope I'm wrong because it would be amazing if Tech stayed dead and there was stakes, but I highly doubt it.
I thought it may be a case where Hemlock replicated the “alterations” from when the Kaminoans originally made crosshair and the others. Or just straight up cloned crosshair.
The part where he talks about giving crosshair a chance to be one of them. Somehow, i dont think he's talking about the shadow troopers.
*IF* Clone X is somehow Tech, it reminds me of MCU's Bucky and how he became the Winter Soldier in the Captain America movies.
6:52 super thinking that the activation of the shadow clones is the most disturbing. My thought is that they are programmed, let back into the ranks, then activated when needed. So another Order 66 but with other consequences
that random shadow clone, might not be Tech, but maybe instead Cody
Honestly I'm glad TBB has been getting as much hype and positive reception as it has. I know practically everything "Disney Star Wars" has been hated to hell and back, but, I actually really like Clone Force 99. I'm glad to see most other people either like them or are indifferent, but don't hate them.
At least there's still some good things in Star Wars, and people can admit it.
anyone thinking that hemlock was telling the truth about tec was dum he didn't show a body just the goggles
and tec should have been faking being brainwashed
This hits different after the finale 😅
the shadow clone came in and just kicked ass so hard it kind of has to be tech too. like that was the craziest non bounty hunter or force user action ever and he one man army'd most of it.
I mean... when they arrived to capture Omega and beat down the already battered Clone Force 99. The bad guy HAD Tech's goggles that he taunted Hunter and Wrecker with. Duh they have Tech
I feel that shadow clone that survived might be Cody, from what I remember from the Clone Wars only Rex and Cody used those visor pieces aside from Crosshairs, and we only two of the three
Some fans think that the Second Assassin clone could be Cody. Your opinions on this?
5:34 Clone Force 99 is also known to go against orders and do their own thing
I think hes dead if the series wasnt ending i think they would bring him back eventually but as its the final season i think tech will stay dead
i thought the reason the shadow trooper got so much screen time was because he was supposed to symbolize crosshair’s darker side. like the clone wars episode with yoda and his dark side. he literally was just a edgy crosshair
I'm definitely interested in a full length shadow trooper vid!
Considering they couldn't make Crosshair one of them when he was the most susceptible to the chips, doubt they could do that with Tech.
What if he is the successful result of all Bad Batch members combined
Only that can explain:
-excellent sniping skill from Crosshair
-proficient vibro knife close combat from Hunter
-full of gadgets like Tech
The only trait not prominent yet is strength from Wrecker.
Make sense if he is one of the final bosses Clone Force 99 has to take down together.
RIP All our boys from these last few episodes
It’s actually covert ops more than shadow troopers that did work like the new operative in bad batch but wtv
Actually had not thought of Tech, as I considered his death final.
I was thinking an evil clone of Crosshair, who is also lean, agile, and a sniper; but your argument makes sense.
Can't wait to find out...but I also feel dread....
Bud why is it hard for y’all to grasp that it takes years for a clone to develop to that age
Knowing Dave Fioni, it's going to be tech. My question is, how the hell did he survive not only the drop, but the other carriage crushing him?
The other possibility is that the writers knew it would be so obvious, so the fake-out is that it's actually Cody. But yeah, it's probably tech.
I don't imagine its tech tbh. Wouldn't that run counter to Crosshair mentioning that he was immune to their attempts at the brainwashing? I suppose he could just be the only clone we know of immune to this process, though.
Dude I really hope your tech theory is right omg that would be so epic
The new shadow clones are phase 0 dark troopers
I mean, Cody's whereabouts are still in the air, but yeah, if they bring Tech back, this would make sense.
I don't think its Tech. He was never much of a fighter, let alone a sniper or assassin, compared to the others.
2:06 that's not my galactic empire
Lol I saw that split second 40k artwork Geetsly
Yes we'd like a video dedicated to Clone Wars era shadow troopers.
I might be crazy but he use the same rifle as Crosshair, the 773 Firepuncher. Crosshair is unable to land a shot since he escaped Tantiss. I think clone X could be a clone of Crosshair or it is the real Crosshair and the one who escaped with Omega is a clone of the real one and he is spying on the bad batch.
Bruh I wanna see the clone assassins from the revenge of the sith video game make an appearance. Those guys were sick!
One of the assassins should be Slick from S1 of TCW. At least the first one that knew rex and then died
As much as I would want it to be a random clone or a new (minor) character, it’s probably tech.
Not gonna watch the bad batch for now.
Busy with the exam period. Will enjoy watching the episodes after it. :)
I was expecting it to be either Tech or Cody, guess we will have to wait
I figured the last assassin is Emry, Omega's scientist handler.
2:49 "He formed the crypto analysis department..."
**AI proceeds to show a bunch of Star Wars characters looming over a pile of bitcoins.**
The Clone Rebellion has offically begun with this battle, before it was just skirmishs, but now it's full-blown war. It looks like Wolffe is like Cody was back in season 2 episode 3 he's trying to still fight for what's right but the Empire isn't like the Republic, it has none of the good and restraint, so he will soon be forced to defect with his Pack and join Rex's side, which is good as they need more troops since they just lost a lot this episode, including Nemec and Fireball, I was so sure one of them would survive since I thought it was to obviouse to make Howizer the only survivor of the new Clones introduced in this series after the battle at Tantius which will pressuambly be the finale. Guess I bet the wrong Tonton in that race. That's 2000 credits I'm not getting back. lol.
I’m doubtful that these are Clone Shadow Troopers. The Wookiepedia uses multiple names like X’s and Clone Assassins. I think this is purely Hemlock’s project and has nothing to do with Armand Isard. I do wonder if this is going to lead to the return of Edmon Rampart from Imperial prison. The first Clone X might have been a prototype and Hemlock might have had a personal alliance with him. Speaking of returning villains, I wonder if Cid and the last Elite Trooper will return as well.
I don't think Cid is probably going to return, her role in all of this is kind of done now. But it's not completely off the table.
You're the third video I've watched with the Tech theory... and you're probably right
My theory is that these clone shadow troopers eventually become the basis for the purge troopers years later.
I'd say these shadow operatives are fairly distinct from the shadow troopers even if there are similarities. The main gimmick of shadow troopers is their invisibility thing, which these operatives don't have. Furthermore, these operatives have only been used by Hemlock and Rampart whose organisations are not intelligence groups, unlike shadow troopers who served Isard and the II/MI. Whilst this can be explained out of universe as the show writers not being good at world building, there is absolutely no information that would allow us to link these operatives to Republic/Imperial Intelligence based on the information they have given us.
Honestly, the wider problem is that Imperial Intelligence has been more or less ignored in Canon media aside from the Tarkin novel, which TBB has already contradicted pretty heavily in terms of the structure of the Galaxy in the early Imperial era. The go-to organisation that canon writers like to use is of course the ISB, COMPNOR's secret police and II/MI's rival but the ISB has absolutely nothing to do with the story in TBB. Not only that but *Canon writers have decided to change Imperial Intelligence's role.* Rather than being a proper rival to ISB like it is in the EU, *MI is instead entirely focused on military intelligence only according to Disney,* which is complete nonsense.
For me, if that secret operative was someone we knew, I would prefer that it was Cody. That Rampart captured him after he went AWOL in Season 2 and Hemlock indoctrinated him back into the Empire's ranks. Having to fight, or maybe even kill, one of his best friends from the war can be something that will in the end force Rex into abandoning the rebellion and hide, as we saw him in Rebels
Interesting. I was fully expecting to see Cody in these episodes so I wonder if it was him.
That is a good idea fitting the narrative direction. The show is about the BadBatch, however, so I'm inclined to see Tech as more likely candidate.
Speaking of unhinged clones, have you thoughf in making a video about Purge Troopers from Jedi Fallen Order and Darth Vader comics? I believe it'd be an interesting topic
I've heard about Imperial Dark Troopers but never Clone Shadow Troopers
I think it could be Cody.
I would like a dedicated video please.
Imo, it's either Cody, or Tech... With how Cody disappeared like he did, looking back at it now? I fear they got him too...
We want a dedicated video for the Clone Shadow Troopers.
If it is tech, then in my opinion, he should have cybernetics or a pod where he can heal. If that drop was as far, if not further than what we've been told, then he needs cybernetics just to live let alone, be a soldier again.
Even if is teck he must stay dead.
If he just the body and the skills but nothing else and the real teck is still dead it will a welcome reversal to the characters come back to life with zero consequences
idk why but I was like I bet the assassin is cody ik there is a super high chance I'm wrong (as I'm not like a super fan just someone that loves all things clones) but all I guess we can know for sure is that that clone is important somehow or else we would have seen his face (ik cody went awol but we dont actually see him escape or leave)
if its anyone its prob tech but ya idk I had that hunch
Human predators man
Am I the only one who finds it frustrating that they still haven’t found Mount Tantiss despite the fact that every single legends fan knows where it is.
