Redemption.......
"The Outpost" was by far one of my favourite episodes of The Bad Batch to date. I loved the symbolism and cinematography. The animators captured Crosshairs emotions excellently, and the scenery was incredible.
As the episode progressed I could see how Crosshairs views of the empire were at tipping point and he was once again exposed to the Empire's negligence towards the clones.
When Crosshair and Mayday get caught in the avalanche he immediately trudges through the snow to rescue him and doesn't cast a thought to anything else. If this was his past self he would have continued on with his assignment regardless If Mayday had perished or not.
He has changed, and for the better this time. His imperial armour Especially his helmet was a symbol of all the damage and destruction he carried out at the Empire's hand following orders that were atrocious. He left this all behind. He's done with the Empire and it's disregard for life.
This is his turning point as a character, he is starting again on a clean slate. As the sun rises on a new day.
A new beginning.

I'm so happy we have a poster, this made my day and the trailer (chefs kiss) amazing !! A few extra details about what will take place in the show were nice. I just can't believe it. Were so close so seeing the boys again. I'm exhilarated right now!!!

Just Hunter in his new armour and his extra bandana/ poncho does it for me. (Gives me Clint Eastwood western vibes) The colour balance is excellent and the attention to detail is immaculate. The way the red in his remaining armour has faded and he still sports his iconic bandana. I also notice he is dual wielding DC-17 blasters as opposed to the one. He still has his knife too. Love the blue tones in his pauldrons also.
Side Note: I hope they release black series with their new armour designs down the line..... Just putting it out there...
I also notice the 99 is scrubbed off all of their armour in an attempt to go completely unrecognised and off grid from the standard Clone armour.
Just loving the detail, thank you Filoni.
