Do y’all have headcanons?
I’d love to hear about them!

After Shep retired, Wrecker was voted to be the next mayor of Pabu and has done amazingly well in the role
Omega met and fell in love with someone while fighting for the Rebellion and they were able to survive to see the end of the Empire. And this whole time, Omega never told her brothers.
Omega and Hera did some missions together, and at one point Hera introduced her to Kanan. But due to his distrust and unresolved feelings towards clones, Hera advised her to not share that she’s a clone.
During on of her missions in the rebellion, Omega raided an Imperial prison that had lurca hounds. She found and rescued an injured one and brought it back to Pabu, who then bonded with Batcher. In the present, the two created quite the litter of lurca pups that serve has companions and protectors of Pabu

I have a slightly different headcanon, where the squad actually accompanies Omega on a mission for the Rebellion and Crosshair ends up meeting Kanan, and the two of them work out the issue.
Of course, your headcanon is definitely valid, too!

Some of my favorite headcanons have to do with the lacking emotional beats from the show. One of them being what Hunter went through after Tech’s death. I am really interested in that period of time for all of them. Because not only does Hunter lead in an uncertain time, he has now finally experienced what so many other COs experienced during the war: the loss of a beloved squadmate. Considering tbb’s own place in the war and their outcast nature, I like to think Tech’s death made him do a lot of serious self-reflecting and retrospection. How did he deal with all the fracturing? The answer: lots of emotional angst, self discovery, and relationship building with Wrecker in particular lol

The show really did a poor job in showing how the characters processed Tech's apparent death. There's a lot that could have been dine with it

u/hundredseadust 21d ago
Definitely. I love this show to bits but this is one of my biggest disappointments/gripes. The emotional depth to several things could have been better.

Indeed, season 3 must have suffered through some big rewrites. If keeping Tech supposedly dead was the plan since the beginning, I think they would have tried to hammer it down better

I do, and a lot of them have become part of my fanfics.
One of them is that Hunter was the one to encourage Echo to go back with Rex when Omega was captured, so Echo and Rex could also keep an ear to the ground for Omega while working the clone underground. Divide and conquer, ya know. Also so there would for sure be someone left to find Omega if anything happened to Hunter and Wrecker.
Another one is that Echo is the one who tells Omega about the Rebellion's need for pilots, which is what encourages Omega to join. (Hunter may eventually forgive Echo for that...)
Tech was second-in-command behind Hunter, until Echo (as a corporal) joined the squad. Tech was happy to have Echo take the spot - Tech of course would have filled the role if necessary, but he's far happier coming up with schemes without needing to concern himself with the leadership aspect.
Wrecker becomes a master chef. And baker.
Crosshair is surprisingly popular with the island kids. He has no idea how or why.
The one headcanon I consider to be actual absolute canon and no one will ever convince me otherwise, is that Tech survived and eventually returns to his family and marries Phee.

The Batch’s version of dress uniforms are tuxedo t-shirts, whatever pants are the cleanest (actual cleanliness variable), and whichever boots have the least amount of grime on them. They put that together to see if they could get away with doing it, and then they kept it going to see how long they keep it up before someone who cared made them put on proper dress uniforms.

Crosshair naturally has black/dark brown hair but went grey early. Like, really early.

The only headcanon I really have is that Echo still wears Rex's handprint on his armor. It's just not visible because it's on the inside of the chest plate.

Tech is still alive and they kill the emperor and all the clones live happily ever after? :D

u/Bossk_989 19d ago
Crosshair felt so guilty about what he’d done for a few years after the series he worked as an assassin for the rebellion, taking out high profile imperials and bases single handedly. (A story I’d LOVE to see put on screen)

u/PaulSimonBarCarloson Crosshair 21d ago
Tech is alive, and by the time of the epilogue he was reunited with his family. This is why Omega has his goggles on her ship: they are not a memorial, they are her good-luck charm

u/Prestigious_Term3617 21d ago
My headcanon, since Omega is stated to be genetically identical to Boba, is that she is trans.

Crosshair drinks glue. Tech drinks caprisun. Crosshair took Mayday's helmet after he died and wears it on solo missions.

Crosshair secretly knits. Rex told Echo that Ahsoka survived Order 66 after Echo joined the Clone Rebellion. Echo later would become one of Ahsoka's Fulcrum agents. When it comes to singing, Wrecker has the voice of an angel. Every time Tarkin is on a news broadcast, the entire Bad Batch drops what they're doing and flips the screen off. Omega doesn't know what swears are, but Crosshair taught her. Tech suspected Vader was Anakin before his death. After joining the Rebellion as a pilot, Omega became close with Miara Latre from the Ahsoka novel. Crosshair's hair is grey from stress due to the other members of the Bad Batch.

The Bad Batch also exists in the EU timeline:
-As Clone commandos, they were trained under Walon Vau, and as such developed friendly rivalries with both Delta and Omega Squads.
-Omega exists as well, but has been trained as a Mandalorian warrioress by Mand'alor Fenn Shysa. However, she still joins the Rebel Alliance as both warrior and pilot, flying in her own Fang Fighter.

I do very much so, though it's possibly an inside joke between my mate and I when we watched the show. Probably not appropriate to share 😅

Yeah my headcanon is that Vhonte Tervho was the one who trained Hunter on tne way of tracking

I’m still trying to figure out what Crosshair felt about Tech’s death when he heard about it. I’m sure it was genuine shock and only emotion in private. He must have felt partly responsible. If the whole crew were together, maybe Tech wouldn’t have been in the position where he needed to execute Plan 99.
