I'm probably one of the few tumblr users who still remembers Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games (Prove me wrong!). I really love Kyle and Luke dynamics and couldn't resist to redraw this scene from Jedi Academy.
So I found a few things like this awhile back but figured I’d share my own thoughts about it.
The Mandalorians thinking of the Jedi as great warriors and to them getting a Jedi in the family was considered a great feat (that no one has managed to achieve yet), they think the Jedi have incredibly high standards, as the great warriors they are should, and continue to follow, flirt with and try to parent Jedi they see.
Meanwhile the Jedi fully believe the Mandos hate them, they specifically warn all younglings to avoid them and it’s one of the first lessons for Padawans.
At one point a Mando sees a Jedi with a Padawan and try’s to compliment the Jedis child rearing skills but they say something like “Your young one is very strong, they would make a great Mandalorian!” Which to the Mando is a compliment and a little bit of flirting, but for the Jedi, who’s already primed to stop someone from kidnapping their padawan because of how popular force-sensitive slaves are (especially those with training who aren’t considered to dangerous, ie Jedi padawans) takes this as a threat and responds with a snarled “Yes they are, and so am I” while projecting every ounce of ‘I’ll beat you black and blue’ they can into the force, the Jedi quickly pulls their padawan close and leaves. Meanwhile the Mando is like “Wow that was hot” and is all proud of themselves for coming up with such a great compliment.
A ton of other shenanigans ensue and it’s great.
Side note I love the idea of the Jedi being very off putting to most others, not in a clear way but a lot of small things (just to fast reflexes, knowing what you’re about to say and responding before you even started etc).
Also here’s a list of reasons Jedi are the perfect spouse to Mandos
They’re great warriors who treat battles as dances, you will never get tired of watching their swirling robes and glowing blades.
They’re amazing with kids, raising their young is a great honor to them.
They stay level headed in the most stressful of situations, remaining competent and calm the entire time.
Their ability to sense danger means they almost always have the upper hand in battle.
Again great fighters, you won’t know true awe until you seen a Jedi cut down a field of enemies in less time then it takes most to fight a small gang.
Anyway these were just some thoughts I had, if anyone has any fic recs with this premise please let me know!!
So, Koi’s Force abilities. They’re pretty strange, but they specialize in what I like to call “passive Force abilities.” Basically Koi has sensitivity to Force presenses, they get visions easily and often (and getting them isn’t a fun process but they manage), and all the stuff that would be considered “minimal” or “backrground” abilites is what they’re an expert at. But they can not use any “offensive Force abilites,” which entails the stuff we see most Jedi warriors use, like Force push and Force choke. They also can’t grab stuff with the Force unless it’s a small or light item/ collection of items. The only ability that bridges between the two that they are also able to use with decent ease (but not in excess) would be stuff like Force jumps/ leaps and using the Force to run a little faster.
They can use the more offensive Force maneuvers, but there is a MASSIVE toll when they do. It hurts like hell and they can’t use any other Force abilites for a little bit.
Koi is a passive fighter with the Force, but very offensive with their physical abilities and training to make up for it. That’s kinda why they make a better bounty-hunter than a Jedi.
