I didn't put Rex because he was in the trailer, so he'll show up.

I found a new parallel between Ezra Bridger and Omega in The Bad Batch 1x02!

*Minor spoilers*

My last post goes more into detail about how similar their characters are if you’re interested!

I love them both so much!

Outstretched hands & Mace Windu’s lineage:

It rhymes🥲

I know a lot of people don’t like Lux Bonteri, and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I honestly don’t think he’s that bad.

If you’d like to read my justifications, they’re down below :)

Just to be fair, this is just about everything canon about Lux from The Clone Wars:

His mother, Mina Bonteri was a senator in the Separatist Senate. From this, we know he was basically taught that the Separatists were the “good guys” in the Clone War.

We are told that his father was killed by Republic forces during the war, which would further turn Lux against the Republic.

When he first meets Ahsoka, he admits that he was told as a child that the Jedi were good but he isn’t sure about that anymore. Despite seemingly blaming Jedi for the war, he doesn’t hold that against Ahsoka specifically, and even makes an attempt to befriend her in a weird teenage boy way.

Count Dooku had his mother assassinated, leaving Lux as an orphaned teenager. This would also make him question his siding with the Separatists.

To avenge his mother, he wants to kill Count Dooku, despite knowing that it’s basically a s**cide mission.

He knows he can’t do it himself so he enlists the help of Death Watch, a powerful terrorist group that isn’t afraid to kill powerful people like Sith Lords and who claim to support him.

Ahsoka gets dragged into his scheme on accident after saving him. He never intended for her to get caught up in his mess and probably hoped she’d stay unconscious on the ship.

When creating their cover story for Ahsoka suddenly being there, he follows along with her plan. When Bo-Katan grabs Ahsoka’s face and then slaps her ass, you can see him widen his eyes and try to recover without looking suspicious. Immediately after Bo-Katan slaps Ahsoka, he steps protectively in front of her to prevent an escalation that would break their cover. To make it seem more believable, he says that Ahsoka “serves her purpose,” which seems demeaning, but the goal is to make Bo-Katan believe that Ahsoka is unimportant and to focus on him and his plan.

To help maintain their cover story, he kisses her only because he needed a quick way to get her to shut up about the Death Watch being murderers and to make Pre Vizsla uncomfortable at the same time.

They help each other escape, and at the end of the arc it’s pretty clear that they have bonded quite a bit and even perhaps formed an attachment. However, they have to split ways. Ahsoka has to follow the Jedi Code and Lux needed to hide from Dooku.

The next time we see Lux, he’s helping rebels on his home planet of Onderon fight against the Separatists. This shows that he’s fully against the Separatists and is siding with the Republic.

He’s dating Steela Gererra, but can you blame him? Ahsoka couldn’t have a relationship with him and Steela shared a lot in common with him. At some point he was going to move on. Because he never had a reason to stop loving Ahsoka, he was inconveniently in love with both of them at the same time when he saw Ahsoka again and his feelings resurfaced. Later in the arc, Steela drops to her death after Ahsoka unintentionally drops her off of a cliff after being shot in the shoulder by a tank. He was heartbroken.

At Steela’s funeral, Lux tells Ahsoka that he’s going to become the Senator of Onderon and he plans for Onderon to join the Galactic Senate of the Republic. Now, he’s fully sided with the Republic and has made the decision for his entire planet.

In summary:

Lux lost his mother, his father, and his girlfriend to the Clone War all before he was even an adult. (He probably thought he lost Ahsoka too after the Jedi Purge)

His beliefs made a complete 180° in the direction of the Republic, showing growth, despite his bad history with both sides.

Most of the “mistreatment” towards Ahsoka isn’t that bad when you put it in perspective. (Some of it is questionable and/or embarrassing but still)

Lux Bonteri is not a bad character!

I really don’t think he deserves the hate most people immediately serve him...

I know they’re not biologically Cut’s but

OMG YOU’RE SO RIGHT!!

I also think Nala Se might redeem herself. It kinda seems like she wants Omega to have a better life off of Kamino and she doesn’t seem to like Tarkin

THE BAD BATCH SEASON 3 EPISODE 3 THEORY/SPOILERS:

Am I the only one who thinks Nala Se plans to go after Boba Fett to get DNA to make her superior clone!? I need someone to talk to me about this!

They said Jango’s DNA is deteriorating and they need more from the source, and maybe they will just use one clone, BUT my theory is that they need a pure source...an unaltered source. See where I’m getting at here?

I WOULD DIE TO SEE BOBA IN THE BAD BATCH!! But also, no please! Not young Boba!
