I feel somewhat bad for Crosshair, he betrayed his brothers and Omega for the Empire, only to be betrayed by the Empire😢

[@techaaaage]

You get what you give

[@christien6230]

What a good ending

[@RowanArk]

Crosshair is endlessly fascinating to me, I love his character so much

[@Thebossgods2]

Except he’s an asshole and hated his brothers despite them coming back and helping him and choosing to stay with the empire despite what hunter told him

[@Thebossgods2]

And overall and mean person

[@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames]

It's always the "villains" that are interesting because of one word... "Motive". The others sought seeking being good but him, he sought having purpose in his own eyes.

[@TBNR_Potato]

same here and idk why

[@vaughnbarker1963]

"Yanno what makes us different from battledroids? We make our own choices, AND we have to live with them." Incredible line from Cody

[@keegan9901]

Crosshair is hands down the best part of the show

[@tastalrial0972]

I love the emphasis on parts of his phrases being said while wearing and not wearing his helmet, implying he has said all of these lines numerous times. Speaks to why Cody got through to him, why he stayed up that night pondering. He was becoming no different than a droid.

[@Nicolas-tc9ti]

Crosshair is the type of character who will turn "good" at the end and sacrifice himself so that Hunter, Omega etc. can escape

[@fatpug2.081]

Meet CW Edits, The man who makes sad scenes even more sad. I both love him and hate him for this!

[@tdjorgensonedits]

Crosshair went from my least liked character in season 7 ever in existence of all franchises and now LITERALLY my favorite character in existence ever in all franchises…wow. And I’m a pretty stubborn fellow when it comes to that stuff Edit: great job CW cuz you’re also the best editor out there😉

[@dindi6986]

If you hated him at start, you most likely don't fully understand his complexity now.

[@tdjorgensonedits]

@@dindi6986nah brotha I understand everything, I’m talking about s7 when he was with the 501st, not season 1. Before his development as a legit character

[@jakeguillory8232]

Fuck dude, i didn’t think it could get sadder than order 66 within the clone wars style but filoni just keeps ripping my heart out

[@alfonsollamo4984]

The way Crosshair says "You weren't loyal to me" chills literally chills

[@DrMario-su6xj]

One of the most complicated characters in Star Wars. Love him by my heart.

[@bilmer7465]

I didn't think an animated series that took place in this timeperiod would make me emotional. Clone wars and the bad batch have a place in my heart for ever as the best storytelling.

[@a.j.5380]

Another fantastic tribute. I love how this season managed to add even more Crosshair perspective that leads to him changing after just three episodes. His story arc has been very complex and I’m both interested and worried for his story from here.

[@RedHood-gx5xc]

This is the best one you've done so far. The cuts, editing, and the 3 same sentences with crosshair saying good soldiers follow orders being spliced together is so damn cool Keep this fantastic work up 🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥👍🎊🎊😁

[@itslindseytime22]

Gave me chills!! It was so well done

[@sebastianrojas1200]

This edits resume perfectly the character of Crosshair, showing how clones like Mayday get to his mind, changing his originally way of think that includes an absolute loyalty to the republic first. after to the empire

[@rbtggaming2779]

Glad you showed how hard everything was for cross hair and his mental state going through and past rot.

[@JBTheStarWarsGeek]

“All you’ll ever be to them is a number.” That gets me every time

[@DarksaberProductionsOfficial]

This is character development

[@TevyaSmolka]

I feel so bad for crosshair :(

[@whitewolf-editx]

This is so good! Really shows how far Crosshair has come as a character.

[@boomstick7506]

A sequel? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@Secretlycat31]

That is a beautiful edit of his development and battle of character.

[@ad.i]

That last line. Holy SHIT the chills.

[@TBNR_Potato]

ikr bro

[@itslindseytime22]

The way you've so beautifully told his story throughout this edit is amazing, transitioning throughout his growth as a character in such a delicate but hard way really parallels how he moved throughout season 1 and 2. By far the best tribute to Crosshair I've seen!! Absolutely amazing work!!

[@CloneTrooperCody2224]

He is by far the most tragic tbb character.

[@samana6840]

4:04 Great man,as always.

[@SWFT_edits]

Incredible work, brother! Safe to say this is the best Crosshair video out there. 🙌🏼 The way you mix S2 and S1's setup for his arc in S2 is nothing short of perfection. I also love how you tied this season's larger themes together with Crosshair's story. The parallels between him alone with the Empire and the Batch together on Pabu work to portray his feelings so well. Also, that little moment at the end when he takes in Cody's words and his face becomes noticeably brighter was a nice touch. And seeing all the little acts of rebellion from other clones that he's seen playing through his head as he begins to make the choice to save Mayday and shoot Nolan was genius. And from a technical standpoint too; the sound design is flawless, the coloring works to tell the story and the transitions and eye-tracing are amazing. Overall very well done, your best video I'd say.👌🏼

[@cw_edits]

thanks so much man❤ means a lot, had to do him justice. could never top your vid though

[@phazegate7578]

Few words need to be said at how great this is. The video and edits speak for themselves. From the music, to cuts, to line syncing, its perfect, fantastic work as always brother.

[@ThatGirlThatLikesMuffins]

Bad batch tributes are both my favorite to watch and to make 🥹. Crosshair has one of the best arcs across season 1 and 2 of the bad batch, and you’ve certainly done it justice in this. He better escape mount tantiss with omega alive next season or im going to riot

[@sneakytaze5336]

"A soldier of the Empire." Goes hard.

[@mattheocrispin3598]

so beautiful of crosshair is good soldiers , empire is darkness .

[@RedSun446]

For the Empire

[@cw_edits]

we are redsun enthusiasts, we do what needs to be done

[@eskaywai]

This is so freaking GOOD! CW Edits has done it again folks. I am simply in love with this tribute, and Crosshair is such an interesting character. This portrayed his story and spirit so well, fantastic job.

[@DoomofOlympus]

Favorite Bad Batch member, no competition. He better escape the empire and join back with his brothers. I cannot emphasise the word *alive* enough.

[@lion203bg5]

Fuck man the more I watch those kinds of edits. The more I start to think deeply about them and their future.

[@kainimations]

I really like how this is like a sequel to your 'Crosshair - Who I am' video and how the title changed to 'you' like how he's too far gone. Nice video dude, keep it up! :))))

[@cam1420]

The transition to Mayday and him arriving at the outpost was so good

[@maleradler0164]

This show hit hard

[@ImNoSkrull386]

This is perfect as always! RIP Mayday, Hexx and Veetch, boys almost made it through the end!

[@colinrex6]

I didn’t realize this but the line where Crosshair says he would have left Echo at the citadel parallels really well with him saving Mayday. Great video!

[@jote6268]

AHHHHHHH THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD OMG I CAAANT AHHH

[@AutumnThe_Toaster]

SEASON 3 IS HERE BOYS 🔥🔥🔥

[@ninjahound8590]

these edits hit so hard i love it

[@creameycheesey1333]

crosshair’s story just continues to get more and more tragic, and yet again u have done the best way of emphasizing that fact. absolutely beautiful

[@kimberlym-w9926]

Mayday shown the light to Crosshair that Empire is not seem to be!!

[@boomtaylor8297]

Everyone loves redemption stories

[@rohanthomas4134]

The sun shines, grass grows, birds, fly, and CW edits was always going to make some banger shit one season two of bad batch wrapped. Oh look, it happened! What a day to not have my expectations subverted. Anyways, good fucking God, that’s some good shit. though if I had to pick favourite sections it would be 1:46 for how you matched crosshairs vision for what the bad batch could be, if it made the same choice as he did with the swelling music. Really captured what crosshair must’ve been hoping for when he was practically begging to join the Empire. The clean transition between the two distinct sections of the edits at 2:16. The almost impressionistic section going over the theme of “good soldiers follow orders” with the usual slick transitions at 2:45. And of course the syncing up of the “solders of the empire” line at the climax. Just fantastic work as usual, particularly with the tone. Whole thing, chefs kiss.

[@cw_edits]

I’m glad you liked it! Yeah I was very careful picking the clips for this edit, wanted everything to have meaning and be coherent. Thanks as always

[@rohanthomas4134]

@@cw_edits Oh it really shows. looking forward to what ever you come up with next as usual.

[@Halogamer-ce1jy]

Nice man glad to see your back finally

[@Werdna-ob2ul]

One thing I noticed at 3:33 is that Bradley Baker's Line "I would've left him for dead too... after all, he's just another reg." Has Crosshair's voice gradually sound more like a reg's voice as he said finishes his sentence. Which I found kinda neat.

[@Fireblade28]

AAAAAAHHH, this is so GOOD "your my brother too" man this is DOPE.

Amazing!!! Just, amazing 😍😍😍

[@panosdks]

fucking great work brother

[@TBNR_Potato]

i know im addicted to this when i sacrifice 5 hours of sleep on the weekend to watch this

[@Fulcrum1313]

This is so brilliant

[@miraculousninja5255]

I can’t get over how well made this is! It’s INCREDIBLE! Great job! 👍👍

[@maltron66]

I stumbled upon this video while looking random Crosshair tribute videos. When I clicked on it, I didn't see who the uploader was. But after 0:50, I knew exactly who had made this masterpiece, just from the selection of music (I completely missed the fact that you had uploaded a new vid because I don't use the nofitication bell, but maybe after this I should reconsider xD). Another magnificent tribute to the cornerstone of the only Disney Star Wars product I care about. This might actually be even better than your first tribute, "Who I Am". And many thanks for introducing me to the epicness that is "The Game Is Afoot". That violin is on fire!

[@lbricks7631]

Another excellent edit.

[@user-pu1dv8pg9u]

This gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this. Great Job!

[@jackhughes9811]

Do "Wicked game" my guy. Things that could be included: *The massacre at Dathomir *Fives, realising they'd all been played (inhibitor chips) *Yoda feeling the disturbance in the force at order 66

[@cw_edits]

I’ve listened to it and I can’t say that song fits my editing style at all, sorry man

[@jackhughes9811]

@@cw_edits Ok thanks for listening to the song and taking it into consideration at least, i just really liked that game of thrones trailer that used that song and often find myself going back to it, there are some star wars trubute vids that use that song but they arent edited well or they focus on cheesy story beats whereas your videos are all very high quality and expertly edited so i thought you'd nail it. No worries tho, keep up the good work!

[@skellymom]

Ah, the lure of Fascism. How it can look so beautiful and orderly to some. The atrocities they will commit in its name. Then realize too late it's an insatiable thing and will eat them alive as well. Great video!

[@MaddyWinkel]

Omg! Goosebumps! Amazing edit to an incredible character! :)

[@jaymac147]

Holy shit dude, you knock it out of the part every time! Killing me with these heavy feelings.

[@vruxdrossgaming]

I know you have a good one planned for Crosshair for season 3 so far, it's definitely gonna tug at the heart strings.

[@sentios5593]

Awesome tribute! I only missed the line "Crosshair turned on the empire?" I think it would have been a great ending, but just my opinion, your work is awesome
