They are all born to fight.

The way Rex questioned authority because it was the right thing to do in the Umbara arc, to save his squad, his brothers, from Pong Krell and how he became the leader of the Clone revolution or the clones that are trying to survive the empire reminds me a lot of Anakin, well, always being reckless but ultimately for good reasons bc he knew following orders blindly didn't get to good things always.

And with Cody it's not as noticeable because he doesn't have as much screen time but the man had some integrity even working under imperial orders, he didn't want to kill people just because and he Negotiated™ with the people he was sent to deal with in Desix and Crosshair killing the governor is ultimately what made him go AWOL. Like, as soon as I saw him put his blaster down and try to talk it through I couldn't help but think of the Negotiator himself, Obi-Wan Kenobi. They're small things but I think the parallelism is there.

... as they did to the minute changes in facial expression that indicated Cody was disappointed by Crosshair's answer regarding Order 66 but needed to hide it.

like LOOK AT THIS

HOW DID I FIND THIS, YOU MAY ASK???

ITS QUITE SIMPLE

Last night, Im browsing concept art from The Bad Batch on starwars.com, in HOPES TO FIND the concept for the general clone X assassin for a color reference when drawing them! (all the scenes CX-2 or another clone assassin appears, its in dark lighting so I can’t eyedrop the exact colors that the armor is)

I keep looking and I land in the concept art for THE SERIES FINALE. THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED.

And I see THIS.

ITS THE CONCEPT MODEL FOR CX-2’s KIRFFIN’ FRICKIN’ FACE?????

EXCUSE ME??????

I’M SO SORRY, TECH-IS-CX-2 AND CODY-IS-CX-2 THEORISTS/BELIEVERS

I was a huge believer of Tech beings CX-2 while the final season was going on, but I had to force myself to let go of Tech’s survival and accept him as gone because it was doing WILD things to my mental health (and potentially my safety, SORRYYYY) (heck I even began headcanoning my own clone OC to be him to help!)

but just makes me BELIEVE HARDER

I CANT TELL IF IM RELIEVED OR DEVASTATED

LIKE I MISS TECH, I LOVE ANGST, BUT AT LEAST THAT MEANS HUNTER DIDNT KILL HIM, RIGHT??

WHEN I FOUND IT LAST NIGHT I WENT SPIRALING

FELLOW TBB FANS!!!!!! REBLOG THIS!!!!! EVERYONE MUST KNOW!!!!!!
