I posted this in a random reply a few weeks ago but it continues to haunt me: semi-comedy rewrite of TBB season one where Crosshair's chip still activates but never gets boosted so he stays in that weird half Empire fanboy half loyal Batcher state and actually escapes Kamino with them. He keeps trying to commit murder to solve every problem and gets increasingly dramatically agitated when told no. Eventually he's just tremoring like a chihuahua with the desire to kill as they keep redirecting him away from ever coming into contact with Imperial soldiers. Half of Cut and Run is now dedicated to giving him various Farm Tasks to keep him distracted while they plan their next move. Everyone has to wait for him to inevitably nap to try to plan out what the fuck to do with him because no matter where they go on the Marauder he can overhear them.
When Rex shows up and sees what's wrong with him, he just fucking stuns his ass like "see how easy that was" (of course it's easy for him REX DOESN'T LIKE HIM.) The entire rest of the episode is punctuated with Rex casually stunning him repeatedly while they get set up to get the chips taken out. He's living his dream honestly.
The mental image of crosshair waking up with the Tech Hand (🤓☝️) trying to convince the batch that murder is good, actually only to get stunned by rex who has never had clearer skin or brighter eyes
This fuels me
“tremoring like a chihuahua” in my head I’m just imaging this
