Tech, Star Wars: The Bad Batch
The Bad Batch has never so tragically grappled with the reality of its place in the Star Wars timeline as the shocking loss of Tech in season two’s finale. Trapped on a surrounded, ailing rail car after a covert mission went sideways, poor Tech cut himself loose to give his brothers a chance to escape, plummeting to his death. It wasn’t just losing a main member of the team that stung, but Tech’s journey across season two of the show was pushing him toward being one of its most interestingly human characters—exploring his potential for happiness outside of the Batch and navigating his feelings for Phee, or how his own connection and relationships with processing his feelings brought him closer to Omega. To see it cut short made his sacrifice all the more heroic, and all the more a bitter pill to swallow.
