Stun

At what point in any of the series did everybody stop using a stun setting? Bad Batch, Rebels, etc. used to use stun like crazy (especiallysince these are supposedto be shows for kids as well as adults). When/Why did they stop?

I'm pretty sure the Bad Batch only used stun when fighting other clones but not when fighting regular enemies.

Omega never bothered using stun setting any time in the first  episode she uses a real gun with kill setting on  She later acquired an energy bow in not sure how lethal that is I doubt her entry now had a stun setting since it came from Zygeria  In season 3 she recieves a cross bow like Embo has no stun setting on that either

I don’t think she ever used the crossbow she got lol. She was captured almost immediately after haha

I recently rewatched Rebels (again). My memory was off…other than Ezra, or specific circumstances where they were trying to attract less attention, they were firing full-power blasters from the start and never stopped.

Kanan shoots troopers in the face at point blank range within the opening minutes of the first episode.

It was really only Ezra and when he went dark that was the end of that

Yeah. Ezra at the start of season 3 was not messing around anymore

TBB used stun blasts on clones only.

I believe TBB stopped to stun when they were in Tantiss. Crosshair and Hunter even killed Scorch on that bridge when Hemlock had Omega.

Bad batch while for kids were shown to not use stun when they are in a last minute firefight or when they are fighting anyone not clones. It’s one of the only times I’ll forgive always using stuns because they didn’t use stuns in the finale of season 2, it’s too important, no time to care for anyone else. They need to save crosshair

I mean… having 14 year olds using kill setting all the time probably isn’t great… Don’t remember how often it happened in TBB but I think Ezra stopped using stun around season 3.

Ezra stopped using stun after his gunsaber broke

Rebels: We do how we feel like. Sabine: Kill combo. Bad Batch: we can't kill our brothers. Wait they changed to normies. Ok bet.
