This is a great post what makes it even better is that most of these you can get from Ninite which will download and install the latest versions of all available software ALL AT ONCE without you having to worry about adware or the annoying clutter (toolbars, changing your default search engine) that sometimes comes with their individual installers.

Order 66? Never heard of it.

The Republic stands. The Jedi live. And our clones? They're chilling with their generals on Coruscant, while Anakin complains about paperwork and Ahsoka steals training sessions with Rex.

The CT-Cassa:

You move in completely unaware into a rather large, government-subsidized housing complex, somewhere on Coruscant – nicely located, lots of concrete, but with a view. And then you realize: All your neighbors are... clones.

Follow the path of “Zee”, the completely normal but sweet nat-born, that moves into the apartment building full of clones.

Once again peddling my AU that when Din gets the Darksaber, that it's haunted by Jaster Mereel. Who then proceeds to pester the ever loving fuck out of Din.

Also just think it's funny to have Bo-Kayan Kryze (who's family ruled Mandalore and WAS Mand'alor for a bit), Paz Viszla (who's family literally made the Darksaber) and Boba Fett (son to Jango Fett and Grandson to Mand'alor Jaster Merel) all around.

But instead Din"rat-boy-nobody" Djarin become the main Mand'alor candidate.

It's so funny, please let me have this.

Rewatching pieces of Jedi Survivor cause I’m thinking about the games again, and one of the things I notice is how many doors that Cal forces open during his rampage through the Nova Garon base. “Slicing” panels to open doors or activate other switches with BD-1’s help is a major component of both games. Survivor illustrates how much of a choice it is for Cal (and I guess any Jedi, really) to opt for patience, mercy, and teamwork over speed, brutality, and power.

It’s fun to joke about Cal not realizing that he can cut through doors with his lightsaber, but in all seriousness, I think Cal knows that he can do that. I think Cere knows that she can do this too, and yet, for example, we still see her rely on Cal to open blast doors for her in Fallen Order’s Fortress Inquisitorious. I haven’t fully revisited FO or Survivor in a while, but I’m pretty sure the only characters in the games that we see use their lightsabers to cut through doors are Sith or fallen Jedi like Darth Vader (I’m specifically thinking of Vader trying to slice open the lift doors when Cal’s escaping FI). Cal knows that he can use his lightsaber to cut through doors. In fact, he doesn’t even have to do that. He can just telekinetically rip doors open if he really wants. Cal and other Jedi like him don’t need to be gentle or accept the help of others. They choose to. I think—especially now that Cal’s seen what he’s capable of using the Dark Side—it’s even more of a choice for him, to be patient and merciful and rely on friends instead.

It also feels very pointed that in order to have the power to rip doors open and take out armies of troopers in seconds, you sacrifice teamwork with BD-1 specifically. It may seem like a small loss, but slicing panels contributes a lot to the growth of Cal and BD’s friendship in FO. It’s the foundational mechanic of their relationship, the first way that they work together and begin to bond. During Cal’s rampage in Survivor, this dynamic is absent. Excluding health stims (assuming you even have to heal), the duo do not interact at all, actually, until this part of the game is over. I don’t think that I need to explain how they’re usually a packaged set. Cal doesn’t miss a beat introducing BD after himself to everyone they meet, as if “and this is BD-1” is an extension of his own name. You, as Cal, can’t have both. You either rely on BD-1 or you use the Dark Side, emphasizing how the Dark Side is antithetical to Cal’s friendship with BD and thus to who Cal is.

Average pre-clone wars Mandalorian family dinner:

Your pacifist uncle and your terrorist-sympathizer cousin won't talk to each other but they both want the other dead.

Your sibling is writing their own manifesto that will totally unite Mandalore and stop infighting, this time for real, I swear. It's 500 pages long and nowhere near finished.

One of your parents says "I think we should join the Republic" and you catch your cousin who has previously told you "everyone who wants to join the Republic should kill themselves right now" glaring at them, but she's too cowardly to say it.

Your other terrorist cousin is drafting up plans to bomb Sundari right there at the dinner table, and thinks you're all traitors and cowards for not being down with suicide bombing.

Your pacifist uncle gets into a fistfight and everyone starts saying "not so pacifist now, huh?? what was that about violence being bad???", including your other pacifist aunt.

Your sibling gets into an argument with another cousin who is also drafting their own manifesto, over whether there should be a legal record of adoptions, or if spoken words are enough. You don't want to tell them this argument is unnecessary, since they will never be making decisions on planetary politics.

Your other parent only has one political opinion, and it's "we should raise the age of majority from 13 to 15", which makes them unpopular with everyone.

Your pacifist uncle and your pacifist aunt get into a screaming argument about which forms of self-defense are acceptable. It nearly turns into a fistfight. They see the irony, but will claim not to when it's pointed out.

Everyone puts aside their differences and declares you public enemy number one when you say you don't like spicy food.

I love the idea of jedi babies with psychometry just.... latching onto random things that have good memories attached and carrying it around like a teddy bear. Like baby Quin found a spatula with a memory of a kid and their parent lovingly making cookies in it and he slept with a dollar store spatula for the next 3 years. Cal found some silverware that a happy group of friends used for all of their special occasions, so his pockets end up full of comfort spoons. and forks. and butter knives.

Non mainline story spoilers for Jedi survivor

Cal Kenobi AU where he’s Obi-Wan and Jango’s son.

Nothing changes except when Boba comes after Caij Vanda Boba actually laughs at the proposal to take Cal in for his bounty.

Caij: we could split his bounty.

Boba: Can’t, Conflict of interest.

Caij: what?

Boba: yeah he’s my brother.

Cal: technically you’re my father’s clone.

Caij: what?! You’re a clone trooper?

Cal and Boba: no!

*Boba using the distraction to restrain Caij*

Boba: Later vod’ika

Cal: Later Boba

Boba: oh Kenobi is supposedly still alive. If I find him first I’m collecting on his bounty.

Cal: Buir wouldn’t like that.

Boba: Buir wouldn’t like a lot of things. Like his ad’ika being a Jedi.

Cal: *Middle finger*

I ran through the whole prequels and og trilogy on May the fourth and speed ran Jedi Fallen Order and am 10 hours into Jedi survivor so I’m very sleep deprived and this is the result.

[duchess-of-mandalore]

Duchess Satine forbade the people of Mandalore from speaking Mando’a, their native language, and forced them to speak only Galactic Basic, the language of the Republic. Here’s all of the evidence to prove it!

First off, we have … Oh, wait. Satine’s the only named character in The Clone Wars who speaks Mando’a, and she even uses the warrior dialect of the Concordians.

And hmm … there’s Mando’a on the police speeders.

(Also note that the police carry and use blasters and flame throwers, so she hasn’t outlawed weapons either. Mandalorians are also not forbidden from carrying weapons within the city, which is why the Death Watch terrorist pictured above was carrying a blaster. The only people forbidden from carrying weapons are outsiders ... and that was only a rule solidified in The Clone Wars Season 3.)

But surely the children are only taught Basic …

Nope! The children of Mandalore are taught both Basic and Mando’a, but you can see that Mando’a is what Korkie is using on his tablet.

It’s clear the children are bilingual. They use Mando’a for their studies, but Ahsoka’s presentation is in Basic. It's likely that they are using Basic to converse with her but speak Mando'a amongst themselves.

In fact, the only place in Sundari where we see Basic is on the dome’s exits (this says “Hangar 1”), with the implication that they are accommodating travelers.

Huh. It’s almost like violence isn’t the only tradition that makes up Mandalorian culture, and Satine loves her Mandalorian heritage even as she believes (as the majority of Mandalorians did who confirmed her right to rule) that the time of peace had come.

[nerdy-documentations]

Some Star Wars "fan" about to write another fic about how Jedi should just give up on their culture and beliefs (i.e. slowly be stripped of them) so that they can assimilate into mandalorian society (y'know the people that have historically always sided with their oppressors) because that will make them happier and more fulfilled:

Okay jokes aside (please take this meme with a laugh and a grain of salt) but I want to talk about Mandalorian x Jedi pairings and how authors write them.

A rant about Jedi-Mandalorian Pairings, Anti-Jedi attitudes, and how prevelent it is.

So, you might be thinking, "If you don't like it, don't read it", now I do agree with that stance. However, when the author either doesn't tag the fic as having Anti-Jedi sentiments or as being Jedi critical or just doesn't realize that's what they are portraying, it's kinda impossible to do so. It just kinda creeps up on you mid fic.

I am an avid Jedi-Mandalorian pairing reader. I love seeing how Jedi and Mandalorian culture and societies come together. It just seems that many authors think that it is a one-way street where the Jedi in the relationship has to completely integrate and learn Mandalorian customs and the Mandalorian gets to be willingly ignorant to Jedi culture.

I hate coming across this trope of "Jedi that follows the Resol'nare, might or might not be married to a Mandalorian, and is still ostracized for being an aruetii, until they give up their Jedi ways"

It feels icky.

Reading what is essentially a interracial/intercultural relationship and one partner be put down for doing what their culture does is weird. It gets even weirder when the author starts going down the assimilation route. (Clarification: I am talking solely about fics where the author doesn't tag or put a warning that there are these themes in said fic. I am not talking about fics where that is blatantly the focal point)

If I have to see something alone the lines of "maybe the order died for a reason" again I'm going ballistic. What could you possibly mean by that.

Ah yes, because the babies and younglings that got murdered in the creche sooo deserved to die. Or the members of the Agriculture Corps, Medical Corps, Education Corps, and the Exploration Corps, who aren't even overseen by the Jedi High Council but the Council of Reassignment, also deserved to die.

Like I'm starting to think that y'all just don't like the Jedi characters you write about. If that is the cause THAT'S FINE JUST FUCKING TAG IT.

I would like to believe that most of these authors don't have any ill intent when writing like this, but there's definintely a vibe going on. It's just so infuriating because Jedi and Mandalorian cultures could mesh together, or at the very least closely co-exist, really well. They are like two sides to the same coin. So it makes no fucking sense (and is very harmful) to have this way of thinking if you genuinely like these pairings and think they could work.

Afterall isn't that one of the main appeals of these pairings?

Tl;Dr: Many authors write fics in which the Jedi in a Jedi-Mandalorian pairing is either condemned for being a Jedi or has to give up their faith and beliefs, but they don't tag the fic as being anti-Jedi.
