If you enjoyed it, please leave a like. :)
Here it is, my final edit for the amazing clone that is Crosshair (atleast of the storytelling kind). His character is one of the most complex and compelling one there is in all of Star Wars imo, I really hope I could make him justice with this tribute. Shoutout to my friends ‪@panosdks‬ and ‪@SWFT_edits‬ who were also able to appreciate him and never stopped editing him along the way (I think we three alone make up like 80% of the crosshair vids on this platform), check out their videos!

great googly moogly brother this is some of your best work. the title and thumbnail go unimaginably hard. could’ve never predicted I’d see a crosshair edit called “the ice vulture.” really unique. 4:15-4:53 was easily my favorite part. the intercutting and climax was great :D

[@cw_edits]

means a lot bro❤️❤️ glad you were able to enjoy this

FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED THE ANIMAL SYMBOLISM

[@infernodrago7867]

I am sorry, but what is that symbolism?

[@axo3887]

@@infernodrago7867 Vultures are symbols of death but also rebirth, new beginnings. Seeing this animal is a sign to let go of smth and change. They are a postive omen of new beginnings. We first saw the ice vulture in the episode where Mayday dies. Second and last time in episode where Crosshair is already back with his brothers. In 1st episode doesn't leave him and follows the clone. In 2sc it flies away symbolising that he has changed and began new path in his life. Sorry for not the best English.

[@immortes]

The rebels have long had a bird motif too.

- Why your edits are so good? - CW edits: "It's because I'm willing to do what needs to be done" 🔥

[@billyc2493]

Because good soldiers follow orders.

[@kingnamor7777]

Woah, that was intense, an inside look of true sniper who once thought that being a good soldier meant following order. But he finally realized he was wrong.

[@TheAJ_Edits]

Oh my gosh the worlds greatest editor is fully back

[@EthanTJZ]

CALLING ALL REMAINING REPUBLIC FANS COMMANDER CW EDIT IS BACK WITH ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@Arwenn-edits]

I was so excited to watch this, cause I’ve been hoping someone would focus on the symbolism of the ice vulture and this is masterfully done.

[@panosdks]

brother that was SO GOOD. Your best video yet. Thanks for mentioning me as well, absolutely loved this video, amazingly edited

[@cw_edits]

much love bro🙏🏻

[@barskaya6810]

And that moment comes... ''She knows what to do Crosshair.'' 4:45

[@KimberlyM-W]

Crosshair’s Turning Point is an emotional roller coaster!!

[@Viperfish9000]

Three words to sum up our favourite sniper. Skill, loyalty and conflict. Great edit once again.

[@snipsfx]

Who you were does not have to define who you are. Bad batch was truly everything I wanted and more❤ Ffff this is epic tho. You literally don’t ever miss with these edits.

[@cw_edits]

thanks!!

[@KimberlyM-W]

Crosshair’s journey to get to his Turning Point was an emotional roller coaster ride!! We are all happy that he is back with The Bad Batch (Family)!! ❤️👍😎🎉

[@kooreyah]

I’ve randomly seen one of your edits yesterday and decided to rewatch the bad batch since season 3 released- only struggle I wanna wait with watching your edits to not get spoilerd. Aaaah! 🤐

[@TyTyTygerguy]

Your the best star wars editor out there I love TBB and TCW so much already and your edits make me wanna rewatch them more with how amazing they are

[@ThatGirlThatLikesMuffins]

Wait I like the similarities, ever so similar, in parts of the song from this edit and from the who you are edit. That was just a super subtle thing that I noticed but it’s really good!

[@josefinagonzalezdamico4538]

Putting we're good soldiers we followed orders and right after either way it makes them happy with a close up of tarkin (representing the empire)- chef kiss. Amazing. I have no words to describe it. Vicious creatures indeed.

[@cw_edits]

Thank you!!

[@AlvarCreations]

brilliant man, great comeback tribute to an amazing character

[@cw_edits]

thanks man

[@andersoncool_YT]

Another Amazing edit

[@grims9134]

ive watched some of the crosshair video's BUT GOOD GOLLY GEE I DIDNT EXPECT THAT MUCH INTENSE EDIT WITH SO MUCH CONNECTED VOICE-LINES TOGETHER. AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT ITS ALSO GOING FROM THE MOST COLD CROSSHAIR TO THE MOST BROTHERLY CROSSHAIR. LIKE BRO.. IF THAT EDIT IS NOT GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST VIEWED, THEN ITS TOTALLY A CRIME. But you also have really beautiful edits with the clones. You are a legend!

[@cw_edits]

very glad you liked it!

[@J.bushellphotography]

I always saw the bird as Icarus. There's the scene at the episode where Mayday dies where it's flying past the sun - A metaphor of Crosshair getting to cocky and comfortable and then getting burnt and ending up back where he started. Beautiful edit.

[@cw_edits]

I've never thought of that metaphor - that's a really interesting way to see it! Glad you enjoyed the edit

[@xzx5189]

Your work is absolutely spectacular I cant stop watching all your videos! I feel I certainly fell in love with Crosshairs character in this third season and I think this video perfectly summed up his character amazing work!

[@RedElite95]

Incredible... Really felt all the emotion. I loved the music you chose as well. Thank you for making this. Stuff like this really makes you realize we are capable of redemption. Keep up the great work as always!!

[@LaTomate84]

Crosshair is such an incredible character ! Nice edit

[@GHOST5004]

Best redemption arc in star wars series in my opinion…Remember respect is something to be earn----Mayday…

[@joanoseguera7755]

I tend to relate Crosshair to this channel through your last pfp. Your edits are so mesmerizing that I can't tell apart the best from the rest, but this is definitely my favorite until now. The ice vulture, just like Morai represent the attachment to the light on two greatly developed characters and I love that you, out of everyone pointed it out. Thank you CW edits, you rock.

[@seltrixbl2623]

in truth the show has always been centered around Crosshairs story

[@madelinegarber7860]

Damn that was great! I always wondered what that ice vulture symbolized. One video I watched said change. Adapting to new circumstances. Fitting for Crosshair. Several of these eddits gave me chills.

[@cw_edits]

Thank you! I think the vulture stands for different things, change definitely being one of them. With this video I chose to go with it being a symbol for the cruelty of the empire (and Crosshair's desire to be a good soldier), hence why I've put "I've changed" over the vulture flying away (letting go of it).

[@madelinegarber7860]

@@cw_edits I didn’t think about that. But your interpretation is the simplest one and definitely makes sense.

[@0RY0N]

Really good edit, man! The Crosshair’s arc was definitely my favorite from the show

[@cw_edits]

thanks man!

[@AlexMares-ob4uo]

I was waiting to see a video on this love your videos keep up the good work CW edits!!

[@abbyjade1934]

Literally the best Crosshair edit I’ve ever seen! Amazing!!!!

[@creameycheesey1333]

love the emphasis u put on the ice vulture symbolism and the final shooting of the binders, incredible edit

[@PineeTree99]

This. Is. Amazing.!!! This is done reeeeaaaalllyy gooooood!!! I love it!!!

[@vruxdrossgaming]

We have the three tribute edits now, we finally have them all. One of your best works. Another masterpiece to your collection.

[@JBTheStarWarsGeek]

Man, this was amazing! The clean cuts between scenes and the voice lines put together makes it so nice. The end quote also hits hard. Awesome work 🔥

[@muddy_inkling]

Omg this is amazing!! Immediately one of my new favorites ❤️ It's such a perfect tribute to Crosshair's amazing character development. Also the title and thumbnail gave me chills. Love how you emphasized the vulture symbolism. Great job!!

[@dieselcat7567]

Excellent breakdown of a well done character arc. Love what they did with Crosshair.

[@popcloud7026]

Your edits are on a whole another level

[@FirecrackerAMVs]

Wow, this perfectly captures Crosshair and everything he went through. Amazing video!

[@AlexMares-ob4uo]

This is one of my favorite Chanel’s and I would love to see you continue on this with dogma❤️❤️

[@rachel_gk]

Nothing better than opening up KZbin and seeing that you’ve dropped another FIRE edit 🥹

[@Mando00977]

i respect all clones and who make them look good, I am loving your content

[@AnakinSkywalker-qe2rk]

This is amazing! Great job! Chrosshair has had the best character development of all the batchers.

[@LoskyNP]

dude this can be the best edit I've ever seen about crosshair

[@heyitsmace]

ok new favorite edit. this is fire in every way possible 😩 4:15 and onward gave me straight up chills

[@cw_edits]

🙏🙏

[@Alex_062]

Thx for editing our fav show ❤️

[@LuiTheBazui]

Sick edit man 👍🏼 I liked how you added mini wings in the thumbnail cause it reminds me of my AU where Crosshair does in fact, have large wings and I think I might plan on having the ice vulture as his form he can turn into

[@cw_edits]

Sounds cool :)

[@revalie.0999]

I love this edit, it is very good

[@aidanvfx8052]

amazing as always

[@canadiantactical]

2 and a half videos in just under a week!? This is insane! Nice video btw.

[@SWFT_edits]

amazing work bro, this is your best video! the symbolism is very well done, the parallels are unmatched and it all flows together so well🙌🏼 unmatched talent fr

[@cw_edits]

thanks brother🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lothwolffe_]

World’s greatest editor.

[@rohanthomas4134]

Dame . . . Way to deliver man. First neet thing, it’s pretty neat that each subsequent crosshair edit you have made has felt more like a sequel to the last as opposed retreading the same narrative ground as before. It is also only just now that I have The general structure adopted here Is actually fairly common regarding edit/tributes that concern redemptive characters. It starts out with what I could describe as a “montage of trauma” moving onto a stage of contemplation and reflection before ending with a triumphant climax. This is not a critique by any star of the imagination, just an observation. I really love how you do attention to the ice vulture symbolism to the point that you framed the whole video around it. It’s honestly something I hadn’t quite considered in this way until now, but it worked wonderfully. Wanna imagine that a part across Health will always exist at that outpost, Circling the resting place of a good man who symbolised all that crosshair wanted from his service to the Empire and all that he would be denied. You know . . . Like a vulture. There are of course so many different clever edits you made throughout the video and command of pacing pay of fantastically with the build up to the end. Honestly, anything I could say and that regardless stuff that I’ve already said about your previous work. You made another banger, plain and simple. Great job. 👍

[@cw_edits]

Thanks for the kind words man🙏🏻You are very right about your observation regarding the structure of these videos, I’ve wanted to first show his trauma/actions and the distrust it has earned him from others before proceeding with him letting go of his past self. I really enjoyed creating this trilogy of Crosshair tributes and I’m happy you liked it!

[@BALAOFMANDALORE]

This was beautifully made, as always :) Crosshair was my favourite of the bad batch, kinda sad we didn't see him in the epilogue.

[@NShiro-tp1fe]

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE

[@Alpha_Raptr]

Attention, sergeant on deck

We missed you, good to see you’re cooking feasts once again. We dine like royalty with this.

[@Banananton]

Holy crap, the dialogue hits so hard, and the scene selection only makes it better O_O

[@cw_edits]

When next bananan upload?

[@Banananton]

Hopefully next month 😎 you can catch up on the one piece(peak piece) anime in the meantime (it only has a few dozen episodes i think🙏)

WE MAKING IT OFF THE RANdOm ICE PLANET WITH THIS ONEEEEE

[@R4JEY]

🔥

[@BasicGuy834]

its still crazy to me how they skipped any talk about tech when it comes to anyone. I was hoping to get crosshair's reaction to realizing tech is gone. Yet they just made a few mention like nothing happened and also. The fact that he has no chip does not make any sense, they did not even explain how and when he got it removed and why tarkin was intensifying the progarmming in a first place, if the chip wasnt there

[@exice2878]

You deserve more than a million subscribers, actually how long does it take you to make such impressive edits?

[@cw_edits]

Heavily depends on the inspiration. I was highly motivated for this edit (because Crosshair just fascinates me this much) so it took about one week. The Crossfire one, where motivation wavered, was a bit on off, taking up to two months

[@rollviral]

Wow, I'm actually early!

[@rodneycolbert6949]

The black ice vulture is Crosshair's spirit animal.Similar to ahsoka with morai🦤🖤

[@MoreStarWars]

nice

[@ScribeOfRhapsody]

AGHHHH. I've had your last two videos bookmarked and waiting since I was behind in the show for a little bit and they were SO WORTH THE WAIT. It is ALWAYS a good day when I get to watch your edits. When I found you I think you had less than 300 subscribers and I am so happy to see how far you've come.

[@cw_edits]

Thank you so much! Yes, I remember and I’m glad you’re still here. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed🙏🏻

[@mernzerek]

💙

[@magtibay5331]

Finally a Crosshair one next could you do Tech

[@iamgamerfun4032]

Any way we can get an edit of tech. I understand he didn't get as much of the main character spotlight like crosshair or hunter, but I think he deserves it for plan 99

[@Manface_productions]

HOW

[@vruxdrossgaming]

I have an idea for an edit, moments of both Clone Wars and Bad Batch with the song Vode An in the background of the edit.

[@tobiascaset5093]

ARE THE ACRONYMS "CW" FOR CLONE WARS?

[@cw_edits]

Yep
