Thank you for 200 subscribers (and almost 300)! Very grateful for the support🙏🏼 ❤️ Next video will probably be a Luke Skywalker tribute I've been working on for a while so stay tuned for that.😉

It's us that thank you for the amazing work you share

4:03 - "Don't become my enemy" What intellects heard - Crosshair: You've turned them against me! Hunter: you've done that to yourself. Crosshair: you will not take them from me! Hunter: Your lust and grumpiness have done that already. Hunter: You have allowed this..Dark Empire to twist your mind. Until now, now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Crosshair: Dont lecture me Hunter, I see through the lies of the weak. I do not fear the Empire as you do. I will bring PEACE, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND SECURITY to my new empire. Hunter: Your new Empire? Crosshair: Don't make me kill you. Hunter: Crosshair, my allegiance was to the REPUBLIC TO THE PEOPLE. Crosshair: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy Hunter: Only an Imperialist deals in absolute, I will do what I must....for Omega. Crosshair: You will try. ***quick draws***

Definitely feels like the end of an era now 😢 Saying goodbye to Kamino felt like saying goodbye to the Clone Wars as a whole. Beautiful tribute though man, so many great shots mirrored perfectly. Can't wait to see where Crosshairs arc goes in S2!

Can we appreciate, even though it obvious, how observant Tech was when he said - 3:42 "understanding you doesnt mean I agree with you" So much of star wars has this conflict.

[@milestaylor-charlemagne6311]

"We were brothers once, I was one of you". When he says that, I liked the images that went with it - Crosshair being with his squad as he was one of them, and deep down, he still is. What Omega said about still being their brother and hers, it was her way of saying that the door is still open for him and I really hope he does rejoin them for good in season 2 as the Bad Batch is where he truly belongs!

[@Cody357]

One thing that makes Crosshair a good antagonist is that he's actually right.

[@QwuithLordDartox]

[@ethansaucier2917]

loyalty means everything to the clones

[@stephenjohnson3163]

And I think that the major difference between Crosshair and Hunter was really that Crosshair thought of being a soldier as his job to fight who he's told too, while Hunter knew that it was his duty to defend those that needed to be.

[@christiancrane318]

I wished Hunter said this to Crosshair in Episode 15 or Episode 16 “Crosshair what did the Empire promise you?” “You really think they will let you live after your usefulness is done.” That line is from the movie War for the Planet of the Apes 2017.

[@SWFT_edits]

That's one of my favorite films ever!

[@haroldcruz8550]

He's following the Empire not out of loyalty but out of feeling betrayed and abandoned by his squad. He felt that the Bad Batch replaced him with Omega.

[@JStallard3118]

Awesome video man, crosshair was the best character in the bad batch by far. Great work!

[@SWFT_edits]

Thanks man! And I agree, he was the highlight of the season easily.

[@docholiday4129]

This is great. Feels like an official trailer for bad batch

[@Aegontheberserker]

Wow this Crosshair Tribute is Absolutely Fantastic!!! He is my favorite character in the show and just once again this is Beautiful!!! Keep up the amazing works of art!!!

[@LM-413]

This is beautiful. Crosshair is such a good character and so well written. It kind of shows how some times the “right side” doesn’t always look like the right side, like how Crosshair thought the empire was the right side and that his brothers were the traitors because if his chip. His emotions were so well shown but hidden at the same time. I love how he goes through similar to what commander Cody was thinking, slowly realizing the empire wasn’t everything it seemed. I’m fine 🥲

[@AngelLopez-xh6sz]

This is really well done. I really enjoyed the video and felt the emotions you instilled in your edit. Crosshair is a very well written character and there's a reason we love him. Good soldiers follow orders.

The best bad batch tribute ever made!

[@SWFT_edits]

Thank you! :)

[@knowledgegathererdraftsave1979]

Thanks so much for this amazing tribute! When I first found out that the Bad Batch were getting their own show, I was hyped and I just say it has served as the end of an era: the end of the Clone Wars and the inception of the Galactic Empire, and the end of the Clones on Kamino; Tipoca City 💔😢 Crosshair’s journey/story arc this season was so deep and compelling, watching him turn his loyalty towards the Empire over his brothers from the beginning was heartbreaking but also the catalyst for the show. Despite being on opposing sides, he still wanted his brothers to stand beside him again even though they were on opposing sides, and he saved Omega and AZI at the end proving that they still mean so much to him, but he stayed with the Empire which I admit seemed the right ending for him rather than just having him rejoin his brothers and Omega, but they’ll always be happy to welcome him back at some point. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Crosshair next season!

[@SWFT_edits]

Glad you liked it! And I agree. Crosshair was great and this was a nice transitional season between the Republic and Empire era. I think it's interesting and definitely the right choice narratively that Crosshair still doubled down on the Empire - reminds me of Prince Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender.

[@meredithsmakings3068]

This is beautiful! I am so flipping hyped for Season 2!

[@SWFT_edits]

Thank you! Me too

[@cw_edits]

another take i see! i get it though, we’ve got to see so much more of his character in these last two episodes. you did a great job once again!

[@SWFT_edits]

Yeah, I was contemplating on whether I wanted to do one or not but I decided why not since the last episodes are centered around him and my first tribute is missing those. Now I'm done until Season 2 though haha. Thank you!

[@lspr215]

I really hope they show more of crosshairs POV. Some things still doesnt make sense to me. Sayings that hunter never gave him a chance. Or saying that he wasnt loyal to him.

[@milestaylor-charlemagne6311]

With season 2 announced, I hope Crosshair has his own arc and gets the chance to redeem himself. When I watch the episodes back, it does feel weird him not being with them, so I really hope somewhere in the new season, when the time is right, Crosshair rejoins the squad, and the Bad Batch will be stronger than ever! In the end, he did show he still cared for his brothers and saved Omega in the end, so there is still good in him. Great video btw. Love the music too!

[@SWFT_edits]

I kind of hope he doesn't get a traditional Star Wars redemption arc, but I'd like to see him find his own way without the Empire and find peace with himself. Also thank you!

[@milestaylor-charlemagne6311]

Tipoca City has long been known as the stage for the clone revolution during the Empire's reign, mainly through a mission in the original Battlefront games. I loved Bad Batch up until they just showed how lazy and desperate for short term action figure cash Disney is. How are people so ignorant to this piece of Star Wars canon that stood for years up until Disney laid their fat greasy fingers all over it. The destruction of the city made no sense, other than to fit the shows narrative, and not actually filling any plot holes. Pathetic job from the writers, directors and executives overseeing Bad Batch, because before this point it was a great show with a lot of promise.
