The Bad Batch Is Over, But There's One Epilogue We're Desperate To See

Summary Actor Dee Bradley Baker wrote a moving eulogy for Tech, offering himself much-needed closure on the character's death.

Echo's perspective in the eulogy for Tech highlights the special bond between the two and provides insight into their relationship.

Tech's sacrifice in The Bad Batch hit fans hard, leaving a void that needs closure - which Echo's eulogy can provide.

Although Star Wars: The Bad Batch has officially come to an end, there's still one secret epilogue that audiences desperately need to see. The animated Star Wars series already has a beautiful and unexpected epilogue attached to it, with Hunter saying goodbye to Omega as she leaves Pabu to join the Rebellion in the fight against the Empire. This comes after Clone Force 99's happy ending, though it's impossible for viewers to ignore the void that's left behind as the squad begins their peaceful life on Pabu: the absence of Tech.

Tech's death was a gut-punch in The Bad Batch season 2 ending, one that was difficult for audiences to fully grasp. This led to a slew of theories in The Bad Batch season 3 about his survival, particularly as the mysterious clone assassin CX-2. With this being disproved in the series finale, many viewers were left feeling as if they still needed some kind of firm closure about Tech's heroic yet tragic sacrifice. As it turns out, there's already a secret epilogue prepared, and it would be the perfect way to close the chapter on Tech once and for all.

Dee Bradley Baker Wrote A Eulogy For Tech From Echo's Perspective

The Actor Needed Closure On Tech's Death Just As Badly As Viewers Still Do

Echo (CT-1409) A loyal clone soldier, Echo was captured by the Separatists and transformed into a tool that they used against the Republic. Rescued by Clone Force 99, Echo chose to join the team, and - like most of that mutant squad - he was not affected by Order 66. Echo left the Bad Batch to work alongside early rebel cells.

In an interview with StarWars.com, actor Dee Bradley Baker reveals that he wrote a eulogy for Tech from Echo's point of view to help himself cope with the character's death. As the one who brought Tech to life for years, there's no doubt that this eulogy provided Baker with the necessary closure to move on to The Bad Batch season 3 without this beloved character. What's most interesting about this eulogy, however, is that Baker chose to write it from Echo's perspective - though it makes a lot of sense.

Without Tech, Echo could not have been saved on Skako Minor, as it required the delicate process of unwiring him from the Techno Union's systems. Tech was the first member of Clone Force 99 Echo saw during his rescue, and that no doubt established a special bond between the two. Echo is also the character that Baker has been voicing the longest out of the entire Bad Batch, with him originally being a part of the Domino Squad in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Clearly, this eulogy brought Baker his closure, and it could do the same for others.

This Eulogy Would Bring Many Bad Batch Fans Much-Needed Closure

Having Access To Echo's Eulogy Could Finally Help Fans Accept Tech's Death

While it's understandable that Baker has kept Echo's eulogy for Tech private, and that he certainly has the right to continue doing so, it could help The Bad Batch viewers receive the same kind of closure if they had a chance to read it for themselves. Echo is one of the most well-spoken and wisest clones there is, and there's no doubt that would have translated to his eulogy for his fallen brother. The words he wrote could soften the blow of Tech's tragic death that still hurts as badly as it did when it first happened.

With little closure for Tech and the way his sacrifice has affected his brothers, getting Echo's eulogy for him would help The Bad Batch viewers immensely.

This is the secret epilogue that audiences desperately need after Clone Force 99's otherwise happy ending. Each member has received their own amount of perfect closure, with Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Omega living a peaceful life on Pabu while Echo continues to help Rex with their displaced clone brethren. With little closure for Tech and the way his sacrifice has affected his brothers, getting Echo's eulogy for him would help The Bad Batch viewers immensely - and hopefully one day, they'll get to see it for themselves.
