#being fluent in mando'a? you bet we invented that

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

Why is half the fandom now under the impression that Cody’s “actual name” is Kote? I know it’s a fun headcanon that got really popular, but the two don’t even sound that alike (based on the way Kote is pronounce in Vode An). 

It’s Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe erasure! 

#sw talk #i mean i really liked the headcanon but it's becoming so prevalent i'm kinda weirded out #i've seen quite a few people think it's actual canon #but 95% of the clones' ties to mandalorian culture are fanon #calling each other vod? we made that up #mandalorian names? yeah the EU had some but never the movies or tcw #mandalorian symbols? two that we see #rex's jaig eyes and boil's death watch symbol - don't mean much #kanan gets jaig eyes too #being fluent in mando'a? you bet we invented that #only mandalorian trainers? EU books thing invalidated by TCW #jango teaching them about mandalore? EU thing #remembrances? never seen #actually we see jedi do that in some EU comics - not clones #like it's cool we gave the clones traditions and all #really #but i feel like people are so attached to the notion that clones are mando that it takes away from their actual characterization #which was that they had no ties to anyone and anything at all #no father because jango *wasn't* caring #no ties to kaminoan culture because the kaminoans were jerks #and so the only thing they did have was themselves and they built their identities around that #anyway it's just one of those little canon vs fanon thing that intrigues me #fanon vs canon
