Only Crosshair could have let her go in that moment. Crosshair, who's learned not only to trust Omega but to respect her autonomy. Who knows what it means to be the cause of your loved one's pain for reasons outside of your control. Who's willing to risk everything to honor her wishes.
And only Omega could have convinced him to do it. Omega, the one person who never gave up on him. Who taught him that people can change for the better, even himself. The person for whom his hand doesn't shake when the shot really matters.

I was devastated when he failed to hit them with the tracker. It's not often that Star Wars shocks me, but I needed to let the credits roll as it sank in that he really missed.
It would have been so easy for the writers to give them the win here. For this to be the culmination of all their character growth this season. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad about it. This is fantastic. I have no idea what's going to happen next. The writers are making some brave choices this season, and I am so here for it.
aay'han
So for the next few days, I think it’s important we remember this word. We mourn, but we also continue to celebrate what we love.
Happy TBB finale week!!!
Omega and Echo reunion at the rebel base c:
Saw ppl freaking out that Echo isn’t with the bad batch at the end but i offer you this: Echo is a workaholic and was absolutely the only reason Hunter let Omega go off on her own to rebel.
Echo: Thought I told you to stop growing, tooka.
Omega: As soon as you stop gettin’ old, ruug’jag (old man)
Do you think Plo Koon's mask also has a translator inside it which makes his language understandable in basic?
Because being rather reptilian/insectoid in appearance, I assume that their main method of communication is probably screeching and clicks, rumbles and vibrations.
Also because:
Plo: ... and once Wolffe, Sinker and I give the signal, we will... *mask crackles, unintelligible screeching noises*
*Plo stops talking, adjusts his mask and tries again*
Plo: *more screeching*
Shinies: *horrified whimpering*
Plo: *sad eyes at Wolffe*
Wolffe: *rolls eyes* The General is having translation issues. What he said was 'once we give to signal, you are to advance and rendezvous with us at the marked co-ordinates'. Understood?
Plo: *gentle clicking noises*
Wolffe: And... *sighs* he says he's proud of us.
Everyone else: *stunned silence*
Plo: *soft screech*
Wolffe: *glaring at him* Really, General? Do I have... Ugh, fine. And the General says he... loves us... *blushes furiously*
Plo: *delighted clicking noises*
"It's showtime, CX-2..."

Oh Don't you let them take control Don't you let them break your soul It's not the devil at your door
It's just your shadow on the floor
(Tell me that you hate me, yeah I've heard it all before There's a life here for the taking Is it mine or is it yours
All I am is what you make me You're on both sides of the wall It's not the devil that you're facing It's your shadow on the floor)
Spoilers for 3x11, “Point of No Return.”

Hunter follows Batcher up the steps, ribs aching with every breath, his chest heavy. There’s no longer anything like hope within him; the gunships departing, the screams of the townspeople fading into weary grief, they’ve told him all he needs to know about the Empire and what it came for.
His boots drag against the stone, stumbling over uneven steps. His gloved hand scrapes against the side of the stairwell, trying to keep him steady. Batcher comes back to check on him. She whines softly, nudging his hand.
“It’s all right, girl,” he lies. His voice cracks.
He can tell she doesn’t believe him, but she turns and heads back up the stairs anyway. He keeps climbing.
The sky’s lightening. Sun’ll be up soon. Hard to tell through the choke of smoke.
Hunter rounds a corner. Batcher’s hunkered down on the path, her face hidden. Crosshair slumps against the wall, his back to the sea, helmet forgotten beside him.
For a moment, Hunter doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive.
He’s so tired. Hunter sinks down beside his brother. “Crosshair.”
There’s only silence, an awful, empty silence. Crosshair doesn’t move.
“Crosshair.” Hunter reaches out, shakes him by the shoulder, the breath catching in his throat when Crosshair turns and stares at him.
He doesn’t blink. He still looks dead. His eyes are —
“I failed the mission,” Crosshair whispers. “I’m sorry.”
“I know,” says Hunter. “I know.”
The sun rises red over Pabu, dark smoke fouling the air, and neither of them feel anything at all.
best theory ever, 0/10 for not being real tho
“In my book, experience outranks everything.” -Captain Rex 💙🧡
He is complete! Captain Rex was quite a surprise when I watched the Clone Wars for the first time. I didn’t realize how special he was as a character until I was fully immersed in the Animated Series.
Just because something is animated doesn’t mean it’s just for kids. The Clone Wars, Rebels, heck even the Bad Batch all have some amazing characters and they really capture what Star Wars is all about. If you haven’t watched any of them before I can’t recommend them enough.
