Star Wars: The Bad Batch Fan Thinks Asajj Ventress Isn't The Only Character Returning From The Dead

gamerant.com:

The Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 trailerdropped, confirming the return of Asajj Ventress, a beloved character long thought dead. But now, an eagle-eyed viewer may have uncovered another returning character, and this return is downright tragic.

The Bad Batch has the distinction of essentially being the only Star Wars series that serves as a true successor to the acclaimed animated series The Clone Wars, despite plenty of other shows including characters the latter had previously introduced. As such, it's got plenty of material to work with, including the chance to bring back fan favorites like the sometimes-villain, sometimes-something-else, but always Nightsister Asajj Ventress. Fans had previously assumed she was dead in Star Wars canon by this point, so her return is a surprise in more ways than one. But she may not be the only shockingly familiar face.

Twitter user @NExploradora thinks they've spotted none other than Tech in the new The Bad Batch season 3 trailer. That's right. The character who tragically appeared to fall to his death at the end of season 2 may very well be primed to return. The thing is, that return may entail something truly heartbreaking. Characters not really dying isn't exactly a new concept for Star Wars, just like in the Marvel comics and movies. Funnily enough, that might not be the only parallel between the two franchises.

Exploradora's possible discovery happens during a scene showing a «new» character leading a platoon of Imperial stormtroopers. The idea here is that, after Tech supposedly became the first major character death in The Bad Batch, Imperial forces may have found him alive and brainwashed him to become a loyal soldier. Any Marvel fans will recognize this as an almost identical plot point to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which saw the Captain's friend Bucky turned into a ruthless killer by the Hydra organization using similar methods.
