After Tech ’s death , Dr. Hemlock taunted the persist members of Clone Force 99 with Tech ’s earmark goggles , claiming that it was all they could witness of his body .

The Bad Batch Season 3 Subtly Reveals Clone Force 99 Still Mourn Tech’s Death

The Bad Batch ’s time of year 3 premiererevealed that no matter how much time may have passed , Clone Force 99 still mourns Tech ’s dying . As Omega and Crosshair judge to get away from the Empire ’s Advanced Science Division compound , they attach over Tech ’s nonindulgent yet effectual pedagogy regime . And , though Hunter and Wrecker ’s master mission is to detect Omega , Tech ’s absence haunt them wherever they go . Tech made the plans , he did the calculations , and he helped them override the Empire ’s technology every step of the way .

Star Wars : The Bad Batchreturns with raw episode every Wednesday on Disney+ .

Tech Was Wrong… Clone Force 99 Is A Family, Not Just A Squad

Before he died , Tech lay claim that Clone Force 99 was nothing more than a police squad of soldier , but the entirety ofThe Bad Batchhas proven him untimely . Z joining their group changed them , and being on the campaign from the Empire did , too . They needed each other . Not just in the way that soldier need comrades in battle , but as friends and confidantes , too . hunting watch may be the leader , but technical school is the nitty-gritty of the family line . If the Winter Soldier hypothesis proves to be reliable , Clone Force 99 will undoubtedly be willing to do anything to get Tech back .

Tech’s Goggles Could Be Key To A Winter Soldier Twist

One pernicious point inThe Bad Batch ’s season 3 premiere may have proven that Tech still has a purpose to play . As noted by@hunterinpink , Hunter and Wrecker have held on to technical school ’s characteristic goggles . During a aspect that takes station on theMarauder , technical school ’s goggles can be see on the dashboard . Holding on to such a token proves how much of an gist Tech ’s death had on both of them and how much he truly meant to them . They have n’t let go of him yet – and this small-scale souvenir might end up playing a massive part down the line inThe Bad Batchseason 3 .

IfThe Bad Batchis paralleling Bucky Barnes ’ Winter Soldier story with Tech , it likely imply that the Empire , and more specifically , the Advanced Science Division , has used its knowledge of cloning and the implants used on the clones before Order 66 to pass over Tech ’s memories . Tech , like the other members of Clone Force 99 , is an strange knockoff . Though they were deemed “ bad , ” each of them had heightened ability . technical school was unusually reasoning and an telling mechanic and locomotive engineer – his cognition could certainly come in ready to hand for the Advanced Science Division , whether it ’s as part of an experiment or leading a specialised military social unit .

Tech may be utilitarian to the Empire , and by erasing his store and implant another chip in his brain , they could well hold in him . But , much like Bucky Barnes inCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , such brainwashing measures may not always be 100 % effective . Bucky begin to remember his friendly relationship with Steve Rogers when they were reunited in combat , and it brought him back from the brink . Tech , upon see Hunter , Wrecker , Omega , Echo , and Crosshair , may very well begin to remember his past again , too – peculiarly if they show him his goggles .

Those goggles were an intrinsic part of him – they may very well be the paint to unlocking his memories . Though Dr. Hemlock cruelly used them as a way to taunt Clone Force 99 , afford those goggles back to the Bad Batch may also be his unfastening . If the integrality of Clone Force 99 is reunite inStar war : The Bad Batchseason 3 , there ’s no telling how far they ’ll be unforced to go to interrupt Hemlock ’s close scientific discipline projects .
