Time is the giver and the thief of all things.

Eye of the Universe by McKane Davis

You all know how meaningful this show is for me. Now that it's over, I wanted to honor this show and these characters with a song that I've related to them since the beginning of season three. I love all the lessons I've learned, all the comfort I've gotten, all the emotions I've felt, all the people I've met, all the stories I've written... I cannot be more grateful for this show's existence. I will be rewatching for years to come, and even if the show has officially ended, it will always be a part of me.

Crosshair wanting to go into Tantiss Base alone and his brothers not letting him solidifies the importance of family. "We go together" peaks in the form of these three brothers refusing to split up.

I have finally watched the finale and I can't believe it's really over, and despite how many emotions I'm feeling, I just want to say that I think that was a sublime way to end the show.

At a cost, the rest of Clone Force 99 got themselves and Omega out of Tantiss.

Hunter, Crosshair, and Omega took Hemlock out together as a team effort to save each other and, symbolically, the rest of the clones. With no more of Hemlock's project, the clones are now free.

Nala Se died but not in a way to magically redeem her in some noble sacrifice for Omega like I had thought she would. She did so destroying the research that was enslaving the clones from the beginning, even if she didn't do it with that intention. Nala Se wanted to destroy the research before letting the Empire have it (I personally didn't love the "if it isn't Kaminoan it isn't anyone's" thing, but it worked)

Hunter got his chance to settle down, grow old, and raise Omega.

Crosshair and Wrecker also got their chance to settle down and grow old in peace.

Omega got a chance at a life of peace and, when the time was right, she followed her path as a pilot in the rebellion and Hunter was at peace with it.

Echo continued to help clones around the galaxy.

We were given finality over Tech - it's okay for CX2 not to have been Tech. It's okay because that is life. Life ends and it's final, but the lives of the other people surrounding the deceased go on and they morph and they too go through success and loss and everything else that constitutes life. I like that Omega took Tech's goggles with her. He was the one who taught her how to fly and she will carry a piece of him too as she goes on to continue her fight.

I want to think Wrecker went back and got Lula back too.

I think Wrecker loves nacho cheese doritos and honestly he deserves to kick back and eat a few because he's grown so much and (literally and figuratively) carried so much weight and he deserves all the good things

Please give my boi a break

The way my heart plummeted into my stomach when the tracker didn't land on the ship. I cannot fathom how my man feels right now.

Try not to think about the fact that he'll have to break the news to Hunter. That he'll probably have to do the same with Wrecker. That he just saw the Marauder, his home, in flames. That he will hold himself responsible and whatever yelling, shouting, and fighting comes his way from his brothers, he'll probably acknowledge he deserves. That he probably feels he let this happen, that he agreed to it, and he wasn't there to shoot the tracker in time. Didn't matter there were other troopers there to fight him, he'll probably still tell himself it was still his fault.

A headcanon I just got is that Crosshair would like to throw bits of food and Wrecker would love to catch them with his mouth.

Think about it! Crosshair would throw a chip or piece of meat and try multiple variants of parabolic trajectories, direct shots, maybe a trick shot with a cup, and Wrecker would just be so happy to catch whatever snacks Crosshair would literally throw his way.

They'd show it off in any gathering or outing, but I also like to think Wrecker and Crosshair would do this when they're by themselves as a cute little sibling tradition they have. I like to imagine the first time they did that after Crosshair returned from the Empire.

"Hey, Cross!"

Crosshair just stares blankly at Wrecker.

"Toss me that chip." Wrecker crouches and opens his jaw wide.

A little smile appears on Crosshair's lips for the first time in a bit. For a moment it's just like old times.

First I was just fawning over this moment. Three handsome young soldiers in the golden light of sunset, serious, stern, attractive. I'd melt.

But then I noticed thre is a very empty gap between Hunter and Crosshair and it leads me to only think that Tech should be there.

Hunter is the DadTM Dad. He was born to Dad. He is the best Dad. His Dad energy is over 9000.

Wrecker is the Fun Dad who no one understands how he became a dad in the first place because he's practically still a kid too. The type of dad who uses ice cream withdrawal as punishment but then caves on the condition that the ice cream won't have sprinkles.

Echo is the Mature Dad who's so emotionally intelligent and has been through so much that he's just naturally nurturing, hence why he could even be considered a maternal figure.

Tech is the Academic Dad who believes knowledge is power and strives to give a child the best preparation possible in any aspect (books, knowing how to operate crucial machinery/ships, etc)

Crosshair is the Cool Dad who his kids get their sarcasm from. Believes in do as I say, not as I do. Is much worse than Hunter. Any means are justified so long as it's for the benefit of the Kid, such as intimidating a child trying to extort you for information.
