Just one thing you forgot about: Omega. She becomes his student, so it's for her that he started to talk about technical things. That's why he stopped talking those things to his brothers... He had someone to listen to him.

Falling from great heights is totally survivable in star wars

I'm autistic myself, and i recognise a lot of Tech. He shows his love not in clumy words or crazy gifts. He shows his love by always being there to offer whatever support the team needs.

I never realized Tech doesn't do trivia in Bad Batch, but yeah, Tech seems to have realized what happened and what everything means

Tech was truly unique. There really isnt much representation of neurodivergence in media, especially representation where they are seen as equals to the people around them. As a neurodivergent person myself, and having a partner with autism, it was incredibly validating to see such a cool character in my favorite franchise. Star wars hasnt hurt like this since Kanan's death, but it was well handled and a super powerful moment.

R.I.P. Tech 99. That episode really hit me in the feels

Plan 99 is probably a sacrificial or "rear guard" action. Used to either sacrifice ones self by staying behind such as Tech did; and/or perhaps a trooper holding off the enemy as long as they can for the sake of the mission or to buy time for the rest of the unit to break contact and evacuate the area of operation. Another example of something similar to "plan 99" was Jedi General Ima -Gun Di and Clone Captain Keeli of the Outer Rim Garrison and their squad delaying a large droid attack force long enough for local allied resistance fighters and civilians to escape to fight another day during the battle of Ryloth.

I blame Saw Gerrera for Tech’s death. His plan to use a large amount of explosives to hopefully kill the higher ups of the empire while they are in a meeting together, shows us what we already know about his character. If he and his team didn’t do plant those explosives or used them till after the bad batch successfully escaped the area Tech wouldn’t have to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his team.

I haven’t been this sad over a death since kanan. Tech really was one of my favorite characters in the bad batch. All of them really grew on me this season especially. I’m gonna miss seeing him on screen for next season and beyond

I really wish there’s a manual to Clone Force 99’s protocols

As someone who has autism, I found Tech to be very relatable. While I’m a bit more emotionally driven than most autistic people I’ve met, I still think very technically.

As a neurodivergent man, I immediately picked up on Tech as one of my people

Alan, as a fellow vet, I understand how therapeutic these video's have become and it is such a productive way to process the things we have experienced, good on you brother.

Tech was out there living by the Jedi code better than like 90% of the Jedi order 😅😢

The state of his recovered goggles suggests the descent was, at least in part, not uneventful, but if anybody can devise a way to save his own life from a fall while he is falling, it's Tech.

All of what you said here is exactly WHY Tech needs to stay dead. It forces the others to grow and adapt in both good and bad ways. This is a ballsy, powerful writing decision and no amount of denial and copium should change that. Great video.

This show has raised a whole new breed of young fans. Generation R.I.P Tech

Thanks for the vid. As an ND person, I recognized Tech as ND-coded and I loved the representation. That conversation between Tech and Omega is a breakthrough in mainstream media. To me, Tech has high emotional intelligence (he has high maturity, that’s what emotional intelligence means to me) and his social ineptness is hallmark for being Autistic-coded. He cares deeply. He just processes and expresses things in different ways.

Dank Ferrik Alan, you brought this Star Warrior to tears. Tech would be considered "On the Spectrum" with Idect Memory, or in the Star Wars Universe "Holographic Memory". I just hope that Dave and Jon didn't "End" him, but if they did, it was done with Tech going out on his own term... Protecting and Defending his Family that he truly loved.

Out of all of The BB, Tech was my favorite and to see how he sacrificed himself so his Brothers and Sister can escape hit hard. Omega's horrified realization of what happened broke my heart. Though it may be a Fool's Hope, I do hope Tech did survive that fall.

I had a bad feeling something was going to happen to tech since the beginning of this season based off him getting alot more character development with Omega, though I do feel like he’s still alive and will probably be back next season

Putting the "Tech" in Generation Tech - great video as always!

This seems like it would be a perfect time for the 'accidental' mixing up words during the intro "Hi, my name is Tech, welcome to Generation Alan."

Do you realize? you just gave the eulogy, for a cartoon character. And a beautiful one at that. I'm not going to deny. That tech's sacrifice hit me hard. And the last time a fictional characters death hit me this hard, hurt me this bad. Was in the novel vector prime when Chewbacca died.

Tech is an amazing character. The way he is different showing his affection, the way he calmly thinks about what's the logical thing to do... He truly got me this season... Just hope he appears for the next one

To be completely honest, I never understood why Tech was so popular. I really wanted to like him, but I could really seem to latch on. This video helped me understand him in a totally different light, and now he might be my favorite.

If there is no body, Tech is still alive.

This is an amazing video man. You really put a lot of thought into really looking at and understanding who Tech was.

This is a beautiful eulogy for a misunderstood character. Thank you.

Tech was my favorite character. Bad batch won't be the same without him.

Let's not forget Tech is only circa thirteen years old and out in the galaxy for the time in his life.

Tech was my favorite. I hope they don't cheapen his sacrifice by bringing him back "somehow". We have too much of that in Star Wars already.

I recognize a lot of myself in Tech. A capable person, acquiring mental tools and brushes to admire both the vibrant colors of life and to navigate the art of war. I am not a war veteran, but when you look at the finer details in life, you truly appreciate and value the weight of even the smallest grain of sand. You see the culmination of so many awe inspiring motions and mystery, but also see how things are going. This leads to silence, and being careful or rigid with words, saying nothing unless it is proven true, even when you need a simple white lie to get by. Tech shows his love through action. You can say "I love you" all you want, but it would have an air of hollowness without proof of such a thing. Good intelligent people show this with patience, mercy, kindness, and understanding to make their love and actions carry weight and validity. Essentially, to make love real and further a fact instead of a lie, a hollow mask for desire.

It's tech, he figured something out. Probably managed to call a flying creature and ride on its back, but lost his goggles in the crash landing, made it to safety and will come in the end when the bad batch needs him the most and save the day

Tech's death hit me hard... but this is making it hit me even harder 😞

This was a nice "in memoriam" for Tech. Beautifully done, Alan.

I wish Tech still alive in Bad Batch season 3...please show Tech still alive because he is very specialist class in Bad Batch

Interestingly enough, I think Tech's helmet is closer to the world than his other brothers. You can see his eyes most of the time, actually, instead of the darkened visors on the rest of their helmets. And you can see his expressions through his eyes. Almost as if you're seeing the world through his eyes. It's always made me watch him closer, to see how his eyes react when he sees things, and makes him seem more open to the world, and more importantly, change than the others. In the words of the man himself: "I am not sure how I should care about change. It is a fundamental part of life." He understands and respects his squad, and loves them unconditionally, even if they don't understand him back. Which is why I think he was the only one to make that decision. But then again, that's just my opinion. Long live Tech.

You really should do a video about hunter. It’s really tough being a military leader though in war time, hunter may not always come up with the best plans, but he meets all situations with poise as a leader should. He listens to his subordinates although he makes a final decision on his own, his subordinates may always have an alternative plan but catching yourself between 2 plans is fatal requiring that the leader have the last word. Another thing constantly on his mind is that any plan acted upon is only as viable as its contingencies because no plan survives first contact with the enemy. Hunter is one of the best at improvising after first contact which is why I think he is actually a good leader.

I really liked all of their squad, but tech was my boy. RIP You beautiful soul!

Legit your best video, ever. The way it made me feel their pain, but also more understanding of Tech. Good job and keep up the good work.

I heard someone theories that maybe the reason why they delayed TBB season 2 is so that we’d have less of a wait between the season 2 finale and season 3 trailer/announcement. I hope that is the case.

Mark my words: Tech will soon turn out to be alive and held in captivity by Dr. Hemlock who had his broken goggles and lied to Bad Batch.

you can tell they were all prepared for plan 99 hunter n echo kept fighting wrecker never stopped trying to help tech and even after they derailed they were able to get there stuff together and fight out. true soldiers

Tech was the most relatable of the batch to me. If I were try to think like he'd be thinking I imagine there was a large amount of problem solving going on as he fell. After all the goggles were the only part found, and ze goggles do indeed do nothing.

Disney has no balls to kill off a main character.

I have a high IQ (155) and am very detail-oriented too. I chose to be alone as a child, because the other children my own age were often too immature for me to be around. But, I don't have low emotional intelligence. Quite the opposite, actually. I am an empath, so I pick up on the emotions of others immediately. I can feel what they're feeling, and I know how it feels to experience something even before I experience it myself. I'm extremely sensitive in every way, to the point where a slight change in someone's behaviour towards me, will make me depressed, because I know what it means, even if others wouldn't notice it. I am afraid to go outside, but that's mostly because I'm afraid of judgement, and confrontation of any kind. I'll get hurt too easily. With my intelligence, of course I'm a very logical person, but I actually use my emotions to make decisions instead, even ones that I know don't make sense from a logical perspective. I'll always put my heart first, and my choices will always be based on love and understanding, even when I know it'll hurt. Of course I'm very misunderstood, that's one of the reasons it's so hard for me to interact with people. I definitely struggle to express my emotions in person, but I have my own reasons for that. To people who don't know the real me, I would look like someone like Tech. People have accused me of taking things too literally, not understanding that I was well aware of what they actually meant, and only mentioned the literal interpretation as a joke. I even got misdiagnosed with Aspergers, despite being basically the opposite of that. Who I appear to be is not who I am. I cry more than anybody I've ever met. I'm the most intelligent person I know, but also the most emotionally sensitive person I know.

8:31 Tech has scanners and sensors and microphones on his armor and helmet. It is possible (if not probable) that Tech knew that there was a river down there and knew that the peril was of Omega couldn’t swim.

God, the way you talk about Tech will make me wish he comes back. If he did somehow survive, I hope its after a good while we find out which is bitter sweat and eventually becomes one with the team again.

Anyone else worried this will become a trend with this show. The Bad Batch gradually getting widdled down until it's just Hunter and Omega. I mean we never see the Bad Batch in Rebels despite seeing other former Clones and I doubt Rex would leave them out. Meaning it's very likely all of them are dead by that point.

12:17 after so many years and still... this scene hit me right in the feels 😢 🫡99

Tech is to Star Wars as Donatello is to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Really been loving your in depth analysis of Star Wars themes lately. And yeah, Tech probably saw the writing on the walls. They’re chances, luck, whatever…was running out. Didn’t make it hurt any less to see him shoot that cable, but he knew what was coming…

Tech is the support player in your squad. And dammit he is a great example of why the support is so vital

I think Emerie, the older clone of Omega is also altered, and altered to have the same abilities as Tech, which is why Emerie wheres goggles also.

Rex, Echo, and Tech are my favorite clones. They put duty for what thought was right and care for their brothers.

Very well put. I was very sad when Tech died. Tech really understood things..and tech was the one to teach Omega to fly. It's just sad that he died

I love tech, one of my favorite from bad batch, still, I hope he don't return, we had such an emotional episode, if he returns makes everything so trivial and soulless, and tbh, denies the emotion we had while watching that episode.

Rest in peace Tech. Wasn’t my favorite character but he had one of the best developments of any Star Wars show

Great video. Really emphasized Tech in ways I hadn't noticed. And it was bit emotional if I'm being honest.

The flash back conversation between Tech and Omega in the cave where he says "... I have to respect they're decision even if it can be difficult to understand. We must carry on" HOLY FUCK talk about inconspicuous FORSHADOWING!!!

You know I love this channel because I think you go into a deeper thought and discussion about Star Wars, not just the blasters and saber fights

From the moment he got out of the tram I knew there was something they planned to do.

Breanks my heart how they made Tech my hands-down favorite of the lads, then ~BAM~ season finale.

This was a beautiful tribute to Tech. Thank you for your insight!

Tech was the ingineer, pilot, strategist, medic (to some extent), and was a more than capable fighter... He was a huge part of their success

Generation Tech: 😊 Generation RIP Tech:😢

One of the best-written characters in the whole Star Wars verse.

my friend was trying to find ways for Tech to be alive... it was that shocking when we saw what happened... I simply couldn't say anything in response.

I just saw your video about Tech being a better leader, and I definitely agree that Hunter needs work. You mention it again here, citing how erratic a leader Hunter can be. Heck, I'm still wondering at his recklessness in adopting Omega! Between his decision making and the questionable necessity of his special skills, it may be terrible of me, but I kind of wish Hunter had been the one who sacrificed himself in the season cliffhanger. Even if they bring Echo back into the fold, I really don't know what the Batch is going to do without Tech.

Probably not the best video to watch in public if you don't like crying ugly tears in front of people.

gives me such a big appreciation for the character, part of me wants him to live but wouldnt be for the best

He's a true bro and I refuse to believe he's dead.

You‘ve done such a great job in explaining their different characters and decisions! Thank you!

When it mattered the most, Tech did what had to be done. Plan 99, RIP to a true legend

Tech: "Obviously I aimed for visible foliage and adjusted my landing to maximize my chances for survival. The Empire captured me and I have been recovering in captivity planning my escape and waiting for an opportunity to do so." Moments after Tech saves the Bad Batch and they stare in shock that he's alive. Tech: "Quite simple really."

Has anyone considered the possibility that this was all part of the plan? Knowing they could never get into the facility rescue Omega find out what was going on without getting captured themselves? Where is Rex? Wouldn't be surprised if he isn't Gathering a force of clones to raid the facility now that he has the location.

Tech isn't dead. No body, MIA. Echo was thought dead, he's back and kicking ass. One guy in the Star Wars universe I expect to think he way out of a shitshow is Tech.

R.I.P Tech

Not gonna lie I teared up when he did that. Damnit Dave for throwing sand like that

Tech’s death was all Saw’s fault ..

This is a personal theory of mine that revolves around Wrecker in the first season and why Order 66 didn't initially register with him despite his mutations not really having an impact on the inhibitor chip. You know how Wrecker's left eye appears to be blind and the left side of his head has damage to it? Well, I believe that the battle that likely caused that damage also caused his inhibitor chip to malfunction and become disabled, and when he ended up hitting his head, it rebooted the chip, causing him to have headaches and succumb to Order 66.

Tech's "death" hit me so hard. I've never had such a reaction of pure grief to a fictional character's loss. It really does feel like I lost a loved one.

Dang why’d you have to make this such a tear jerker 😭

In my opinion, Tech was the embodiment of actions speak louder than words. Tech often couldn’t find the right words to explain what he’s really feeling, but when he had to, he never hesitated to take the actions necessary to be there for his squad, taking that selflessness to the very end.

I completely forget about his tendency to record sounds. I don’t think they used it once in season 2 of bad batch or even one maybe as well

Tech knows everything

dood. this video makes the ending all the more sad and really emphasizes the sacrifice that Tech makes. you're storytelling or ability to explicate these kind of topics is sooo good and gotten so much better over the years. Great video. Bad Batch has grown on me - I will miss Tech.

From the moment before they left Pabu, when Tech and Phee almost had a moment we were at "LOL-TOMINO Defcon 2." Tech knew it too.

This was a beautiful eulogy of Tech that made the loss hurt anew, while also making me very grateful for what we did get to see of him (and for the writers who developed him so much). Thank you for it.

We need a shirt in preparation of season 3 that says, Somehow Tech returned 😂

I think tech and echo had to be the two that could understand each other the most

Can we take a minute to applaud the shot he took I’d say man is second best sharp shooter in the squad behind cross hair

So I guess we will see Tech in season 3

FYI: the "ch" in chasm is a hard "k" sound. 😉 Brought to you by the Hooked On Phonics Repair Squad. "Sounding words out is only half the battle!" 😎🤘☮️

“Another member subtracted from the SAD batch.”

If they would write the rest of the Star Wars shows like The Bad Batch, they would have more goodwill with fans and doing better financially. Rewatched season 2 and it hurts so good. Great video sir.

Wasn’t really prepared for this video to be so heavy, definitely should have though

Great vid GenTech, well presented.
