MINOR SPOILERS for The Bad Batch Season 2.

I am currently writing up the article Tech Turn, which is a starfighter maneuver. While there are static images possible of the maneuver, most of them will look either like static starfighter combat or a ship floating in space or the air. There isn't much distinct about still images. I've applied one to the infobox, but I believe that the article body will be significantly benefitted by two gifs, as shown below.

Both of these gifs showcase use of the Tech Turn in action, and provide much more context and detail than a still image would provide.

My proposal is for both of these gifs to be applied to the article body, as showcased here. However, if you believe only one of the gifs or neither of the gifs are suitable, feel free to vote for only one or neither.

  • I'm wondering if it is necessary to include the frames of the people in the cockpit~. Loqiical (talk) 09:58, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
    • I would argue it is, as it helps demonstrate how they perform the maneuver. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 15:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
