When I tell you how violently this art idea struck me in the middle of Sad Clone Simp Hours while writing angsty fanfiction material I do mean violently.

First bit of fan art in a hot minute and it's for copy-paste men that I'm totally normal about deserved the galaxy. Twins just trying to do the right thing. Trying to save their brothers, all their brothers, before it's too late and the war dooms them all.

Fives would have burned the whole damn galaxy to the ground if he saw what they did to his brother. There would have been hell to pay for the horrors they put his twin through and how Echo was forced by means outside of his control to become a brother-killer. Fives would have been a force to be reckoned with as he sought justice for his brother had he not died in 19 BBY perhaps just months before Echo's rescue (I'm fuzzy on the timeline as of writing this).

He died believing he was the last of the Domino Twins. He died believing he was going to save his other brothers by blowing the whistle on the chips. He didn't get to see what kind of man his brother would become and all the good his twin was doing, is trying to do, to protect his brothers.

I think he'd be proud of his regulation-loving twin for giving the Empire hell and Echo's resiliency.
