Hello! This was asked for by @kananarchiste and I've finally gotten around to writing it up-- my pattern for my crochet doll of Commander Cody-- and I'm giving it away for free! (If anyone does make this, please tag me-- I'd love to see it!!)

Commander Cody crochet doll pattern

I've never written up a proper pattern before, so I apologize for any confusing bits or mistakes in advance. If you get stuck on something or if something is unclear, please shoot me an ask or DM and I'll do my best to help out.

Black

Dark brown (for scar; contrasts with skin tone)

212th gold/orange (this can be hard to find. I got mine at a local independent store)

Grey

Extra materials:

Buttons and thread OR safety eyes (I used buttons because I like the look of them better)

Stitch markers

Yarn needle

Abbreviations Key:

Ch – chain

Dec – decrease

I’m not sure what the gauge is, but mine is quite tight. Use a smaller hook if you feel as though your gauge is too loose.

Phase-I Clone Trooper Armor

Although the Phase-II Clone Trooper Armor always got a lot of love…The Phase-I Clone Trooper Armor was always the best design to me due to the Phase-I Armor's likeness to Jango Fett's Mandalorian Armor.

From the Phase-I Clone Trooper Armor. To the Phase-I Clone Commando Katarn-Class Armor. And especially the Phase-I ARC Trooper Armor with its numerous Mandalorian influences (Helmet mounted Rangefinder, Kama, Jetpacks, Wrist Rockets, etc.)

Phase-I Armor for the Win...!

It was an honor to contribute this piece to the @theclonewarszine charity fan zine alongside so many incredible artists and their stunning work!

Had a blast creating it, building new 3D assets for Rex, the 501st and 332nd clones, modeling (half) a gunship, designing custom painting tools for the clones to use, and more...

Huge thanks to the amazing @theclonewarszine team, every artist who contributed, and everyone who supported this wonderful project. May the Force be with you all! ✨

2D reference renders of Phase I and Phase II clone trooper armor

[Phase I's] stark white and streamlined armor evoked that of their clone template, Jango Fett’s Mandalorian armor. Made up of 20 pieces of plastoid-alloy composite, the Phase I clone trooper armor featured the iconic T-visor helmet, a utility belt that could carry spare blaster magazines, food rations, and other miscellaneous equipment, and boots with high-traction soles. Despite the sturdiness of the Phase I armor, it was soon cycled out for Phase II.

The most notable difference between Phase I and Phase II armor was the helmet. Although the distinctive T-visor remained, the breathing apparatus on the helmet received an upgrade and now featured two breath filter vents that could also be hooked up to an air-supply hose if necessary. Additionally, due to the clones being created in secret and their armor crafted by Kaminoans, some upgrades favoring a humanoid body were necessary to keep the troopers comfortable.

A new song in Book of Boba Fett features Mando'a in a Gregorian-style chant! The lyrics are: Aliit ori'shya tal'din (x3) Burcyan (x3) Aliit ori'shya tal'din Darasuum kando (x3) Aliit ori'shya tal'din English translation: Family is greater than blood (x3) A close bond(x3) (comrade- or friend-ship) Family is greater than blood Eternal importance (x3) Family is greater than blood Listen to it on Mando'a Lessons channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-wPEuZeT6s

Sunlight by Hozier - in Mando'a

If you remember this post where I translated I See Fire into Sindarin, you probably won't be all that surprised by this. I've fallen head-first into the Star Wars fandom (admittedly second-hand, but still), and of course, being me, I went straight for the conlangs. Mando'a might not be the most fleshed out language of the GFFA, but it is the one with the most Culture, at least in the fandom, so it's the one I gravitated to. And honestly, I really like how... brisk it is? It drops unnecessary pronouns and verbs, barely bothers with tense at all, and contracts everything. It's so much fun to play with.

Sunlight isn't the first song I started translating into it (that would be Born For This from the Spiderverse movie), but it is the first one I've finished, because matching Mando'a to English scansion is hell. It struck me as a very Codywan song, which is why I picked it to translate (yes, I do imagine Obi-wan composing/singing it in honour of Cody pretty much every time I listen to it).

I did have to make up a couple of words because the dictionary I use didn't have even a near-equivalent to the concept I was looking for, and those will be marked with a * and I'll add the 'etymology' of them at the end. (If anyone knows any other Mando'dictionaries, throwing me a link will win you my undying gratitude.) I also had to get creative with my interpreations of the meaning of certain lines, since, just to pick the most obvious example, Mandalorians probably don't have the myth of Icarus like we do.

Any feedback, advice, or just general linguistics flailing is always welcome. Now, without further ado, here it is:

Tran'nau* (Sunlight)

Ni ru'nevor nau (I shunned the light) Ru'medinui naak be ca'tra (I shared in the peace of night) Ni nu'mirdi ba'slanar (I wouldn't think to leave) Par tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Tion'ad karta nu'redal (Whose heart doesn't dance) Dar'shekemi tra be ca'tra (Wouldn't abandon the stars of night) Sha solyc hettyc haa'it (At first burning vision) Be tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Ni r'echoyla ba'gar, tran'nau (I was lost to you, sunlight) Ru'miy sa kisen* ba'gar, tran'nau (Flew like a moth to you, sunlight) Ner tran'nau (My sunlight)

Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Gehat'ik arasuum (The tale remains the same) Ru'rejor bal ven'rejor (Told before and told again) Runi ru'got* lo ciryc pitat (The soul that's born in the cold rain) Kar'mir tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Mar'e lis dinuir gai (At last I can give a name) Ba tracin haaranovyc (To a hidden flame) Sa kar'tayli darasuum (As love/knowing forever) Ner tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (My sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

An tengaana ba'ni, tran'nau (All that's displayed to me, sunlight) Ratiin kar'mir ba'ni, tran'nau (Is always known to me, sunlight) Ner tran'nau (My sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Tran'nau (Sunlight)

An ner alii'gai* lo gar gaan solus (All that I am is in your hands) Ke'juri ni ulyc, ner tran'nau (Carry me carefully, my sunlight) An ner alii'gai* lo gar gaan solus (All that I am is in your hands) Ke'juri ni ulyc, ner tran'nau (Carry me carefully, my sunlight)

Antuur* mhi cuy tome (Everyday we exist together) Kar'mir gar ner shereshoy (Know that you're my reason for living) Ner oya bal kyr slati* gar (My life and death belong to you) Ner tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (My sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Narbatir* sen'tra (Wearing a jetpack) Kyr'nayl'gam* briikasyc (I'm death-trap clad happily) Galar carud ni trattokor (Spilling smoke I fall) Chur tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Gar kar'tayli tran'nau (Your love is sunlight) Gar kar'tayli tran'nau, tran'nau, tran'nau (Your love is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight)

Tran'nau (Sunlight) Tran'nau (Sunlight) Tran'nau (Sunlight) Tran'nau (Sunlight) Tran'nau (Sunlight)

[*tran'nau = tra (star field)/tranyc (sunny) + nau (light)] [*kisen (moth) = kih (small) + senaar (bird)] [*ru'got (born) = ru- (past prefix) + goten (birth)] [*alii'gai (identity) = aliit (clan)/aliik (sigil/symbol) + gai (name). This is technically already a word that means 'colours', but I took that to mean specifcally the colours one wears on their armour, the 'face' they show the world, i.e. their identity.] [*antuur (everyday) = anay (every) + tuur (day)] [*slatir (to belong to) = slanar (to go) + ti (with). I took the inspiration for this from the etymology of the word 'belong' in English.] [*narbatir (to wear/to put on) = narir (to put) + bat (on)] [*kyr'nayl'gam (death-trap-skinned) = kyr (end/death) + gaanaylir (to trap) + 'gam (skin). Since beskar'gam is literally 'metal-skin' and the word for skin literally translates to 'soft-skin', I figured it could also be poetically used to mean 'clad in']

Mando Shanties

Since sea shanties are So Hot Right Now, thought I’d share the one I translated into Mando’a last month after listening to The Longest Johns on repeat for about a day. For a nomadic people who regularly spend extended hauls on ships, it’s kinda surprising there isn’t more written about Mandalorians having music about their travels and ships and working conditions, the way sea shanties originally were. Same with the language, it’s an incomplete conlang (gdi KT), so there’s virtually nothing to use for ship terminology or describing travel, so I had to get a little creative with some of the lines in the original. 

English: 

 I thought I heard the Old Man say:     “Leave her, Johnny, leave her.”         Tomorrow you will get your pay,   And it’s time for us to leave her.    

 (chorus)

Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow   And it’s time for us to leave her.

(v2)

Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high. “Leave her, Johnny, leave her!” She shipped it green and none went by. And it’s time for us to leave her.

(v3)

I hate to sail on this rotten tub. “Leave her, Johnny, leave her!” No grog allowed and rotten grub. And it’s time for us to leave her

(v4)

We swear by rote for want of more. “Leave her, Johnny, leave her!” But now we’re through so we’ll go on shore. And it’s time for us to leave her.

(v5)

The cook’s a drunk and the maid is, too “Leave her, Johnny, leave her!” And the crew is 14 men to few And it’s time for us to leave her

Mando’a: 

(v1) Ni susulur ruug'la vod jorh'ir   “ba'slar, kaysh, ba'slanar” nakar'tuur  gar wadassir,                                  ca'nara mhi enteyor ba'slar

(chorus) Ba'slar kaysh, ba'slanar Wayii, ba'slar kaysh, ba'slanar Taabir munit, karbak'ni tracyn,                          ca'nara mhi enteyor ba'slar

Due to the lack of existing words, I had to turn “the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow” into “the march is long and the hyperdrive (karbakar) doesn’t fire (tracyn), which seemed like a logical term for the universe and their language. 

“Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high” also became “oh the wind was bad and the stars don’t shine” which was more applicable for a space-faring society. 

Some lines were more directly translanted, like “mhi orits tug’yc ures waadas”, “we swear again without credits” is surprisingly exactly what the original line meant. 

At some point I’ll make an actual recording of this, since I tried to make it fit the original syllables and rhythm, so it’s absolutely singable!
