    I felt so sorry for Crosshair watching this. He found someone that was not biased towards him and even risked his live to save him. But in the end Crosshair could not save the life of his friend.

    I believe it should be mentioned what Crosshair and Mayday said to each other when they came across the dead raiders body. Crosshair said “No point in carrying dead weight” while Mayday was confused on why the raiders comrades would leave him behind. Later on when Crosshair stepped on the mine, Mayday mentions how he wouldn’t want to carry Crosshair’s body back to the base, implying he would take his comrade even if he was dead, the opposite of what Crosshair said. However, later on in the episode, when Mayday tells Crosshair to go on without him as he is dying, Crosshair decides to stay and help his brother. Big change in heart in my opinion right there for Crosshair.

    I loved this episode, I thought way Crosshair went from seeing Mayday as potential "dead weight," to fighting against all odds to save him - quite literally dragging him back - really developed his character. Especially his humanity and obvious sense of justice and injustice, clearly depicted by his execution of the Lieutenant. I hope to see more episodes following Crosshair as he decides what orders he should and should not follow just like his old squad did before him.

    I don’t think that was the light side bird. I think that was just the ice vulture from earlier on in the episode. Mayday said, “you got to admire them, they survive”. After all crosshair went through, and then being told to “leave him”, he knew that mayday would just be food for the ice vulture. That image, I believe, is what finally got him to turn. The fact that Mayday did everything he was told, was a “good soldier” to the core, and the empire still would have left him for the carrion eaters.

    Loved this episode... Very reminiscent of how American vets are often be treated, especially during the Vietnam era. Millions of clones that have gained their individuality, saved countless lives during the Clone Wars... All for them to be discarded like they were nothing. Truly a tragedy... What's even more twisted is that they were forced to kill the Jedi, those who they lived/fought with for years. The clones are obviously the superior trooper compared to the goofy, clunky stormtroopers, but the empire is focused on cloning experiments and the vast conscription of regular people... Funny... The rebellion wouldn't stand a chance if the clones were kept in mass active duty. Makes me wonder how many priority/specialty clones stay in service and/or if we'll see a clone rebellion/uprising.

The fact that he got redeemed after he was showing remorse for leaving the Bad Batch and even caring for dying Mayday is just so deep.

    Seeing Crosshair and Mayday realize that The Empire doesn't care about them at all was so tragic. As Mayday says "We're Good Soldiers, We Followed Orders, And For What?" Then to see that at The Beginning of The Episode Crosshair didn't want to carry "Deadweight" but at The End when Mayday tells Him to go without Him, He doesn't leave His Brother Behind and carries Him Back. It was a Beautiful Character Arc for Crosshair. Then when He carries Him back, Lieutenant Nolan who became the most despicable and hated Character in all Of Star Wars, could have saved Mayday but He didn't. It was so Heartbreaking to watch. R.I.P. Mayday. I felt so bad For Crosshair in This Episode. This is when He Truly sees how Cruel and Evil The Empire is and when He finally snaps and shot Nolan, It was so Satisfying And He got what He Deserved. This Episode was Absolutely Brilliant.

    From going to a cynical sniper who poked fun at regular troopers, to nearly dying saving one. The desperation as they huddled together on Hoth 2.0.

    Such a heartbreaking episode. You can really see the conflict in crosshairs face deciding weather or not he should stay loyal to a army that sees him as an expendable piece of military hardware. Really hope we see him rebel and join the bad batch again.
