Scorch hearing about the project while TARKIN is being left in the dark is crazy

Scorch is a clone commander running security FOR hemlock, Tarkin is another person that can backstab Hemlock, since the imperials are so ambitious and often that makes them fight each other politically / sometimes literally

I’m beginning to think the clone assassin is a clone of Crosshair. Apart from pulling off that impressive shot to kill the gunship pilot, there was a segment where he sounded suspiciously like Crosshair.

#17 is definitely the motif from Anakin's Dark Deeds (also used in the Order 66 scene from the Clone Wars finale) and not Kylo's theme

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Was it dark Deeds or was it betrayal I always get the two pieces particularly at the end mixed up but I know for a fact that this particular piece at least if I'm not too much mistaken is used when Obi-Wan is speaking to Padme about watching the security recording of Anakin going after the Younglings

[@madmanminkler1382]

I was so sad when the Marauder blew up! It reminded me of when Din's Razorcrest got blown up😭

[@hungtheheroluu]

Farewell Marauder. You now officially have legacy status like the Razor Crest. Too bad both ships had to be ripped from us by those kriffin' Imps.

[@jacklarocco9545]

The visor on the data pad with the assassins display is a dark trooper visor (Stop the Video at 6:53). Most likely the clones being reconditioned for the assassin troopers are the first step to the Dark Trooper project. The original Dark Troopers were cyborgs and also made with clone troopers.

[@MChristopherJohnson]

Last 4 episodes are gonna be bonkers.

[@LaiLai-2111]

Sounds more like a slowed section of Anakin’s Dark Deeds than Kylo’s leitmotif to me honestly

[@Calico235]

Yeah, sounds like Kevin Kiner version from CWs7

[@JoshJones69]

Its sad to see, that they think more of Kylo and Rey than the legendary score of Star Wars Episode 3.....

[@orien2v2]

It's satisfying to see Tarkin getting that "It's classified" treatment lol

[@_KaiTheGamer_]

Ehh that motif when the imps appear over pabu sounded more like Anakin's Betrayal/Order 66 than it did Kylo Ren's theme.

[@dylankoch1757]

So Hemlock calling Scorch by his 'callsign' (Scorch) instead of his number (CC-1262) was pretty interesting considering the Empire's tendency to just refer to Clones by their numbers

[@rizzohutchings]

I haven't played Fallen Order in a while but the planet at the start with the snowy mountains reminded me of Zeffo

[@AutisticGothBunny79]

What if the clone assassin is actually tech but amplified with crosshairs abilities as well. That’s a dangerous combo too

[@jacobgeiger4589]

I was just thinking similar, given in the schematic we see of the assassins there are individual parts like their arms highlighted. I think it may be a mix of all the batches dna because while they are clones they were defects, so this one may have all of their abilities making him the perfect soldier that would take the whole team

[@enbentz]

The ground in the prison in Andor WAS electrified... they just destroyed it with the water during the prison break

[@The_Void_Between]

I thought the floor of the prison in Andor was shorted out by all the water leaking. Maybe I'm misremembering, but it seemed like it would've went off and killed him, but it didn't because the water had reached the area just in time.

[@CCFONESOL]

There was actually a section of floor in the center of the room that could be isolated, rewarding the winning team without being shocked, while all other teams got shocked. Plus the water quickly shorted everything out, and the tables were insulated as well.

[@voiceofraisin3778]

a couple of the prisoners got fried so yes, the floor was active.

[@valathor95]

You are correct.

[@Reelglad]

It was!

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Omega leaving tech’s glasses behind made me unreasonably sad. Especially knowing they probably were destroyed after

[@chtal64147]

I love that we see the clone cadets and that they weren't just a one time thing. I hope we will see more of them in the last episodes. I am still wondering about the friendgroup of gungi. Hopefully we will eventually learn their fates, maybe in an other Star Wars series or something. They would be an interesting bunch to have with the other kids in the lab

[@Blazikrom]

If the Clone Assassin is Tech, I could definitely see a Winter Soldier moment, where the Batch all realize it's Tech, and he doesn't know who he is.

[@charlesjohnson7458]

You meant Boba Fett

[@vengefuljester2090]

Yall are going to be so disappointed when that assassin isnt Tech. This is feeling like another Mephisto moment

[@jztrmpt]

The way the assassin talks feels like Crosshair - I think it is a Crosshair clone - which is what he's wouldn't talk about in past eps. I think that the assassin that isn't ready yet is going to be Tech.

[@croccifixiovillagomez156]

4 episodes left and we’re right back where we started in the beginning of the season.

[@TheGreatJ8]

I remember the clone assassin once using the word "domicile" in episode 11, mimicking Tech's usage of the same word back in S2! The assassin has to be Tech!

[@InfiniteNaos]

This clone assassin has to be Tech, reason why, episode 11 has one specific detail for data collecting which Tech uses during a couple of events. One was during their own showcasing during the Clone Wars and I believe Season 1 with data collecting from a Tactical Droid.

[@hanktsui2000]

IMO I attribute that musical lemotif as Anakin's Dark Deeds/Anakin's Betrayal more than the Kylo Ren theme

[@tbx59]

This is the best season of Star Wars Animation ever. The future is bright.

[@richardmaloneriki1811]

The three telekinetic kids locked up in a secret research facility also reminds me of Akira. The Star Wars franchise loves to reference Japanese cinema as often as it references Westerns. Stranger Things is also hugely influenced by Akira.

[@vipe650r]

I think the only way I could see it being Tech (in terms of it not undermining his death and loss last season) would be if it was a re-animated version of him or a robocop-style cyborg. It benefits from Tech's skills and memories, but exists as a tortured "soul" as the obedient "good soldiers follow orders" programming collides with the memories in Tech's brain. He knows he's not Tech, but he can't escape Tech's memories and what they tell him.

[@boletop6204]

yeah but the problem with that is that Tech knows about the island, so it cant be him as a consious being if u know what i mean, at least not with his memories intact

[@vipe650r]

​@@boletop6204 Fair point. I guess he hasn't done anything that anyone w/ Tech's memories would have immediately done. Could be a "zombie-Tech" of sorts, I suppose, but I'd say my friend's idea of it being a separate clone that's a combination of the whole batch's DNA - a "super-clone" of sorts with all of their innate abilities (though I guess not Wrecker's?), as the empire would certainly have all of them on file, and it's believable that they would have been experimenting with concepts like that as soon as the batch began to prove as successful, shifting into high gear as soon as they went rogue.

[@dannyorange9023]

I just want to point out that saying "that'll do" isn't necessary quoting "Babe". Sometimes it's just saying "that'll do", a thing people sometimes just say.

[@snugmonkey]

14:41 to me that motif reminded me more of Anakins dark deeds

[@Greenhawk4]

what I thought as well

[@carbondogma7388]

Daniel Logan was credited as playing Mox for episode 11, I think he only said a couple words though.

[@Blinkptx]

Cad Bane lost to Din you say? Lol

[@zachpelletier]

Question… why does the Star Wars use letter abbreviations like “M count” and “ct (clone trooper)” when those are English letters and they use Aurebesh? Shouldn’t they be using the Aurebesh abreviatuons? If so, it wouldn’t be “M count,” it would be pronounced “Mern count”

[@reeksphync565]

All starwars is dubbed

[@illrated]

Damnit. You're right. English letters aren't supposed to be a thing but they use it for Clone and Storm trooper designations.

[@hungtheheroluu]

They use both Aurebesh and the less commonly High Galactic alphabet in the galaxy far far away, with the latter being based on the Latin alphabet. Also it's worth pointing out that a lot of Kuat-made shuttles are named after letters from the Greek alphabet (e.g. Lambda, Theta, Sentinel, Nu, Omicron, Rho, Eta, Zeta, etc.).

[@ethansironen5325]

14:40 i definitely hear ROTS anakin vs. obi wan

[@KristoffTitan]

#12 it says DEPOT MANAGER not Hanger, you talk a lot of shit about the word being wrong but didn''t check that the H/herf in aurebesh is 3 horizonal lines with the middle line being the shortest. 12:11 3rd from the bottom shows the correct character translated for H

[@thetotaldramaking5427]

I hope that phase 0 trooper is Cody it would be a really sad way to see how he ends up and gives the series more depth

[@Pir4te47]

The planet at the beginning reminded me of Zeffo from Jedi: Fallen Order. Though prior to the Empire taking over, naturally.

[@joshfactor1]

if nothing else, it was nice to see todo again

[@andrewromine1410]

If it is Tech, Did they give him a mind wipe? How does he not remember what planet his bros were hanging out on? For that matter, wouldn't he recognize Phee? After all, there was a hint of something between them.

[@Buubuu1]

"When I tell ya to come, you better come." Phrasing.

[@SaucierSupreme]

Also, the clone assassin could have just taken Phee out but instead makes that a stealth op when he's literally willing to take out an entire island population for the mission so it's definitely Tech.

[@davido.1233]

It's not Tech for this specific reason: Tech knows the location of Pabu. If the Assassin trooper WAS Tech, he wouldn't have to get the information from Cid or look at Phee's navigation history.

[@jreddin]

It did look like he was narrowing down a location, because he crossed several out. I was thinking he was cross referencing locations he knew they frequent to see if they went back.

[@Echo_Isles]

When the assassin used the word "domicile" instead of almost any other word for homes, it immediately reinforced my hope/fear that he is actually Tech. Though it could be the writers manipulating us because they know how we think. So. Much. Anxiety.

[@jedimasterchunky4116]

The assassin can't be Tech. During the fight in the water with Crosshair, they say "You had your chance to be one of us." Meaning the Assassin must have been with Crosshair during training.

Hemlock is about to be in trouble during the last 4 episodes hopefully

[@Skitara71]

I don't think the assassin is tech because tech would know where the planet was as he has been there he wouldn't have to sneak on to a ship to try and find out where it was

[@redglassesart]

I’ve thought about that but I’ve been hearing people theorize if Tech was only severely injured that could have led to brain damage also they could have reconditioned him. But again why would they do that and risk losing intel? I WANT it to Tech, believe me. He and Crosshair are my favorites. However, I will not be mad if it doesn’t turn out to be him. Either way, I’m loving this season.
