"Attempted" is the key word, looked like the shot crazed him.

Bryan Ayuso

Canonically, he survives until at least 5 years after Revenge of The Sith. We’ve had some more minor retcons but I don’t think they would retcon a death.

Anonymous

looked like he got beamed in the skull but who knows it’s star wars

Andrew Doucette

Crosshair definitely didn’t miss and i didn’t see Senator Taa leaving with the convoy

Jordan Malloy

You don’t get charged with an “attempted” crime if the act was completed. Plus, Crosshair’s too good of a shot. Surely, he knows exactly where to hit him so that it won’t be lethal. Taa’s alive but out of the picture, for now at least.

Gavin Allerton

He’s alive, they say it was attempted assassination and if you look he appears to still be moving. He also actually appears in some books further in the timeline. I like to think he survived because he was just so fat.

What are you talking about? it looked like it hit him right in the middle of the head. To be grazed it would've looked more like a cut than a circular shape in the middle.

Diego

Given that he is still around in the Lords of the Sith novel, I am inclined to say he is alive. How he would have managed to endure and get back into the Empire's good graces however, is another question.

Anonymous

Like Trench, he was stroking his coils way too much. Sooo like Trench, he might survive way too much.

Yil

I think they said attempted because it wasn't him who killed him, but another shooter that they are yet to "capture". And they can use that excuse to hunt down anyone they find suspicious.

Collecter343

I know they've played fast and loose with details from "canon" material but him being dead is a big change. Plus it's implied Bane survived a headshot so Taa surviving a headshot from Crosshair (who may have had orders to wound heavily but not kill) wouldn't be that surprising. All that fat made for ample cushioning.

IrishNexus

Orn Free Taa will likely be wheeled off to some Imperial facility, recover, fed a lie that Cham Syndulla tried to kill him, and then he'll show up again in a few years in Lords of the Sith. Can't wait for the Star Wars podcast to start up so you guys can be in on discussions like this at the time

Dr. Bobcat

Bro got domed but what do I know.

Christian Bolda

I think he’s alive Rampart did say “attempted assassination” and in canon he’s supposed to stay alive for a couple more years although they could change canon again and move his death up

Cameron Rickard

He has to be alive because he is in the canon Lords of The Sith Novel. Also they charged Cham with attempted assassination which implies he isn't dead.

ElBilbo

It was Crosshair who fired and we know he's really accurate. Maybe he shot him in just the right spot as not to kill him.

spencer

I say alive and the empire faked his dead to prevent any rebellion attempt

Liesmith

"Hauser" is the name of Arnold's "real" character in Total Recall. Based on *just* that, I'm predicting that Howzer is a sleeper agent meant to find and betray any clones that are immune to the chip. I have no evidence to support this.

FaultyHammock

If I had to guess, they set up Orn Free Taa and will have either faked his death, or had Crosshair shoot with a low-powered bolt. Plus he's so fat, god knows he's got plenty of protection. Also, we see him moving around and on the stretcher afterwards, so I'm going to say injured and very pissed off about being used like this.

Anonymous

He’s dead but they say attempted so the empire can act and say he’s authorised everything they do and they say the public can never actually see him as he’s wounded in hospital or in a coma

Anonymous

Even though they said attempted, I still think he's dead, although we've had more gruesome deaths in the star wars galaxy, so who knows, very unpredictable

Anonymous

He’s in the canon novel Lords of the Sith and that takes place 5 years after Revenge of the Sith. I’m going to assume he survived but this show isn’t a stranger to playing around with canon, so who knows

Prince of Za Waurdo Over Salmon

The fact they said attempted assassination makes me think Alive especially if anyone could shoot someone in the head and am have them still live it would be crosshair

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

Unless they are following George Lucas’ ‘ mantra that “continuity is for wimps” canonically we already know he survived. He is alive during the events of the canon novel Lords of the Sith which takes place 5 years after Revenge of the Sith and again is canon. And they didn’t say “arrest for the assassination of” they specifically carefully and purposefully said “arrested for the attempted assassination of” that word attempted is important and goes to show he is still alive. So he’s alive. Also he’s still moving. Yes they have made some small changes to canon but nothing so drastic where it would literally break the canon. The changes made to order 66 with Kanan and Ashoka’s dual with Maul during the Siege of Mandalore do not break established canon. Having Orn Free die here literally breaks the canon in half. So he cannot be dead.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)
>>63464821

Canonically he’s still alive 5 years later. Crosshairs did shot him but he didn’t shot to kill. Just injury so they can spread the lie Cham attempted to assassinate.

Jon Mercano

Am I the only one who saw Taa’s hand moving while he was being taken away?

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)
>>63466768

He had to of. Or it completely breaks the established canon. Yes have made some changes to canon. But those changes have been microscopically small compared to this. Hes established as being alive 5 years after ROTS. So unless they want to break canon and follow George Lucas’s mantra of “continuity is for wimps” he has to be alive.

Anonymous

He's not dead, given that he appears in the Lords of the Sith canon novel which occurs 14 BBY (5 years later). Rampart says it was attempted assassination, so in conclusion: GREAT SHOT CROSSHAIR THAT WAS ONE IN A MILLION!!!!!

Jeanette C

They said "attempted" so I'm going with that Crosshair purposely aimed to put Taa in critical condition but not kill him. Taa could still be useful to the empire

Coeus

Rampart says attempted - it will lend to Taa's political arsenal, and lets face it... it's Crosshair. If he wanted him alive, he's alive.

Joel

This poll feels like a question Crosshairs would ask just to miss with his fans. Did he kill him or didn't he?

Delorian

A member of the story group recently said that they might retcon details they will always respect the overall canon. For example Depa Billaba was killed on kaller during order 66. That is the canon part of the story. If she died the way the kanan comics say or the version of the bad batch that doesnt really matter to the story group.

Adam A

Well, it is canon that he is alive 5 years later, so there is really no question. But honestly it doesn't matter because for the sake of TBB's story, he's as good as dead, but for the people who are aware of his future story, they can believe he survived and everybody should be happy :)

Anonymous

It would be kind of hard to fake that I think

Melody Dia

As far as his relevance in this story, he is dead. But we already know he survived at least 5 more years in other canon stories. I highly doubt we will see that however, as I think the story group wants to imply his death to non book readers, while giving some way for people who KNOW he lived, to not question if this contradicts canon. Hence why he said "attempted".

Gavin Hardiman

He has beskar under his skin! That’s why he’s so fat.

Daisy Grace

The shot seemed to hit the base of his Lekku. As we also know, blaster bolts don’t necessarily tear through someone like a bullet would, and the bolt could also be of a lower lethality

Anonymous

Darth Maul was cut in half. Fennec Shand got her guts shot out. "Attempted murder" seals the deal for me - alive.

Michael McCurran

Even disregarding Orn Free Taa being alive later in canon, the rifle Crosshair uses looks quite different to the one he used to shoot the ship down. If he was aiming to kill him, I don't see why he would have swapped rifles (or removed an attachment - apart from the muzzle, I couldn't see it clearly enough to tell if it looked the same).

Artemis LA

I'm going with him dead because Star Wars loves to disregard the books' canonicity wantonly. If it doesn't happen in a movie or show but exists in some other New Star Wars media, then it seems that the canon status is "it happened unless a movie or show says it didn't."

Anonymous

I think he is dead, in my mind i believe they said attempt assassination, it's because there were witnesses that saw Cham never fired, so he must be charged with attempt and say that the shot was actually fired by an accomplice of Cham.

Anonymous

I think it was as a few people have said he has been arrested for conspiracy and will be charged for sedition.

Anonymous

He got shot in the head goddammit!

OutlawStar

He died... A long time ago.... In a galaxy far, far away

HeiwaTori

I feel like they wouldn't show the actual shot to the head in a kids show if he died but idk

Barry

He is Sarlac chow.

Lukas

his death seemed pretty definite to me

Wolf6120

"Dead" seems the obvious answer but considering he (I believe?) canonically shows up in later materials, I'm inclined to think "attempted assassination" was purposeful.

Tim Ott
>>63487782

Pretty sure Disney themselves have said that shows and movies supercede printed materials for canon purposes. So you are basically correct. If there is a contradiction between printed materials and tv shows/movies, the shows/movies is true canon.

Henning

It's been a couple years since I've read it, but doesn't he show up in the book Lords of the Sith, which takes place 5 years after ROTS? I think "attempted" was intentional and he's still alive.

Darth Skhorrn

Considering he plays a part in the book "Lords of the Sith", which takes place a few years after the events here, I'd say there's a good shot he survived.

Matthew Juttner

I think dead. On another note, Gobi is in the clone wars during the Ima-gum di episode and the mace episode

GoodAsGo1d

As Aaron usually says..."DEATH!!"

Anonymous

I'm voting alive even though I haven't read the comic, just because I like the idea that he is literally so fat, that extra fat padding around his skull could've saved him from a direct headshot

Anonymous

If you look closely at his hand when he is being carried away his hand is moving so he might be alive

Anonymous

I say dead although I think it is all one big manipulation trick. Admiral Rampart will tell the citizens that it was an attempted assassination and the people will get mad. Then he goes later and says that he officially died from his injuries the outcry will just be greater. I feel that way is how the empire gets support to hunt the proto rebels.

Anonymous

Taa was moving after the shot and Rampart said “attempted assassination” so sadly I think he is alive
