dha kar'ta "crispy has lost control of their life again" celebration sneak peek

am planning on starting up a wip wednesday sort of thing (maybe next week?), which will definitely be more than star wars related stuff, but i've also just exceeded a thousand hours on skyrim in less than a year and wanted to celebrate(?) (i actually hit a thousand a few days ago, but in true fixation fashion, kept playing instead of posting anything over here lmao) so here's a dha kar'ta wip 'cause jango is fighting me a little bit but new chapter soon!! i promise!!

 “As soon as Satine is unseated, the Mandalore System’s full neutrality nullifies, unless Jango chooses to reinstate it.”

  “And he’d rather die than do that,” Bosoloc pipes up helpfully.

  “Yes, and at that point, Mandalore can choose to pursue rejoining the Republic for the first time since the Kyr’am Turr’e, because New Mandalore never officially seceded to the Senate.”

  “Which Jang’alor would also rather die than do.”

  Obi-Wan acknowledges Ezovac with a nod. “The politics of sovereign states that exist within sectors technically under control of the Republic are a disaster at best, and almost no one in the Senate is willing to deal with it long enough for a planet to get the flimsiwork through.” Melidaan is a Republic planet now, but the Young didn’t always intend it to be, and Nield couldn’t read, so Obi-Wan had done a lot of that research between battles; and being on the run from Death Watch actually afforded a considerable amount of downtime during his year on Mandalore, and, well. A big part of that Obi-Wan had thought it was all information he’d need to know if Satine asked him to stay, and Obi-Wan still hasn’t quite learned how to let someone love him unless he can be useful to them.

  Actually, it’s rather convenient that he had done all this research for Mandalore specifically, if thirteen years too early — perhaps the Force was simply preparing him for this Mandalore, not Satine’s. 

  Across the mess table, Kal groans loudly and slumps his head down. “Fine, I’ll bite, kih’Alor: what’s any of that got to do with Duchess Demagolka?”

  “Theoretically,” Obi-Wan sighs again, pushing a grumbling Dha further into his mind so he can concentrate, “Mandalore does not actually have to declare itself as anything; there are plenty of planets in the outer rim that have sovereignty without officialising it with the Republic.”

  “But...?”

  “But, thanks to Satine, Mandalore is embroiled in Senate politics nine ways to Corellian Hells, and it’ll be even worse if she makes any headway with the beskar mines while we’re off fighting Vizsla. We simply can’t withdraw from those politics, not when Mandalore’s history is so entwined with the Republic’s, not unless we want to go full isolationist from the rest of the galaxy.” He glances at his other table-/councilmates, and is relieved to see they seem to be keeping up, if looking a bit exhausted by it; Obi-Wan shares the sentiment.

  Luckily, the mess is empty now with everyone returning to their increased post-battle duties, or Obi-Wan is sure they’d have had quite a few more complaints about the impromptu government lesson happening in the middle of the tent.

  Kal rubs his eyes, shaking himself before turning back to Obi-Wan, his frown as deep as ever, but at least he still seems willing to listen.

  “So, we can’t just go after the Senate’s pet Mandalorian without burning those bridges, unless we have proof she’s in league with a terrorist?”

  “Precisely. And technically, with Mandalore as a sovereign state, the Senate can’t do anything about the change in power, unless they plan to go to war with every Mandalorian in the galaxy, but proving she made the first move will give us significantly more support for instating Jango instead.”

  “I feel like my brains are coming out my ears,” Bosoloc whispers woodenly, staring down at the remains of the protein gruel on her tray. 

  “You don’t have ears,” Myles reminds her, chin in his hand, and she kicks him under the table. 

  “What I want to know,” Mij speaks for the first time, easily dodging one of Myles’ flailing arms, “is how you even know about the Kyr’am Turr’e, Obi-Wan.”

  Bosoloc turns away from tormenting Myles to add, “Yes, I was going to ask about that, because I have no idea what the Death Days are.”

[antianakin]

The Jedi who became a Mando and then left to rejoin the Jedi OC getting the Darksaber at some point during their Mando tenure would be HILARIOUS. They wouldn't necessarily rule through it at any point I don't think, they're not interested, but it's technically theirs by right of earning it through combat so they get to keep it until someone wins it off of them. Except then they leave to rejoin the Jedi Order and they just... take the damn Darksaber with them and hand it back to the Jedi since it was stolen from them in the first place.

The Mandos are inevitably PISSED and probably try to steal it back, but it doesn't go as well this time. Take your pick as to why, maybe they just get caught this time and it violates whatever treaty the Jedi have with the Mandos for the Mandos to break into the Temple to steal from them, which doesn't go well for the Mandos. Maybe the Mandos break in only to discover they're too late and the Jedi have actually already dismantled the Darksaber, set the crystal into some kind of memorial and melted down the beskar to put away in storage for whenever someone else decides they want to use it. There IS no Darksaber to reclaim, and no Mando is ever going to be able to actually build a lightsaber themselves even if they got the crystal and beskar back. Even if they COULD, you could make a solid argument that it's no longer the real Darksaber anymore and so none of the old rules about it apply anymore and it's fucking useless as a political tool.

The Mandos can't even really claim that it was STOLEN from them because this Jedi won it fair and square by their own laws. It was THEIRS now, legally, so they were allowed to take it with them when they rejoined the Order and do whatever they wanted with it. As far as we've ever been told, there's no rules about what you're allowed to do with the Darksaber if you've earned it correctly. So if the Mandos attempt to retaliate, they are going to be legally in the wrong and could face consequences for it. So they either start a whole war over it (which they will lose again and probably worse than before), or they just have to take the hit and let the damn thing go for once.

what happened to Echo in the Foundling AU.

since I don't give him nearly enough attention he's going to be one of the main plot things

since their was no batch to join he went back to the 501st. Fives is alive because he kept his conspiracy theories to himself.

Siege of Mandalore rolls around, Tech is allied with Bo-Katan since welp he kinda broke the creed,

And

Echo somehow accidentally manages to get a hold of the Darksaber and defeat Maul in combat.

He is very confused

"wait, Tech, whaddya mean I'm like the king of Mandalore"

He tries to give it to Bo who refuses, also refuses to fight him for it because this is just too funny and she's enjoying it.

And to add to his stress, Order 66 comes around and it's him, Fives, Tech, Ahsoka, and Rex versus the 501st.

They (domino twins + tech) eventually manage to reunite with Omega, Hunter, and Crosshair, who have their own problems (a traumatized child that can force choke people + a creepy imp scientist hunting them who wants to use her as a lab rat or smth)

In an alternate universe/timeline where Obi-wan leaves the Jedi to stay with Satine…

Pre Vizsla plots to assassinate Satine. No frills, no fuss, just him and the Darksaber. Bo-Katan may or may not have tipped off Satine and Obi-wan. She disagrees with everything Satine does — she married Jedi scum for stars’ sake — but Satine is still her sister.

Imagine Pre’s surprise when he’s met by one irate Obi-wan Kryze-Kenobi, lightsaber in hand. If Pre wants to get at Satine, he’ll have to get through Obi-wan. Oh? Those parcels that arrive with some regularity from Qui-gon? They might have holocrons with lightsaber forms. Obi-wan will admit to Satine that he’s been studying Soresu. For defense. He doesn’t tell her about the lessons in Ataru. And he doesn’t hesitate to use its aggressive style with Pre. This is personal. It isn’t just about preserving Satine’s dream of a peaceful Mandalore. It’s his family. It’s his wife, his children, and damn it, even Bo, even though she drives him bonkers.

The fight ends when Obi-wan physically rips the Darksaber from Pre’s hand, and does that twirly thing with the hilt. It’s a little hello there from a Force user to the ancient kyber crystal inside. The Darksaber settles into Obi-wan’s grip. The more he swings it, the more it feels like an extension of his body.

He wipes the floor with Pre, leaving him in a demoralized heap, unaware of the significance of the moment. To the doubters among them, Obi-wan just became a true Mandalorian. Obi-wan is bemused by the way people treat him now. They were respectful before, but now they’re downright deferential. Bo explains what the Darksaber means and laughs so hard at the look of dismay on Obi-wan’s face that she shoots caf from her nose.

Moral of the story? Duchess Satine’s consort might look and sound like a nerdy university professor, who spends his days touring hospitals and schools on behalf of the Duchess of Mandalore, but try to fuck with her, and risk facing the wrath of the Mand’alor.

I was looking through some old google doc files, and came across this government structure I had created of the Mandalore post-Empire, for an AU I was working on at the time.

Basically Din in this AU had given the darksaber back to Luke when he went to give the gift to Grogu in TBOBF, because he had discovered that it originally was protected by the Jedi and that Vizla had stolen it from the Temple, basically saying “My Ancestor gave it to the Jedi, and now I’m here to do the same”.

I mean, this was actually a really small part of the AU, but it was fun to create, so if anyone is curious here it is:

There are two Governors on the planet

They are chosen with an election, and are voted by only the citizen of age.

Their tenure lasts ten years.

But if the Assembly does not like one or both of them, with a unanimous vote they can take away their position of power.

The Assembly is formed by eighteen elements, and with the Governors they are twenty

Their tenure lasts twenty years.

A lot of the members are from the historical families of Mandalore, or at least the few that survived, but there are also members elected from less famous other clans

To be part of the Assembly you must be at least 25 years old and maximum 60. Obviously the non-human species that have different life spans will have different rules, with their years who can equate to the human ones. 

The Council is made up of six elders with tenure for life.

To be part of it you need to be at least 60 years old.

The members are chosen by the Assembly through a vote.

Often they are former members of the Assembly, who cannot be re-elected there, and so they are given this position.

There are cases in which some were elected even if they never held political tenure, but they are rare.

The Council doesn’t actually have political power, they are there just to give advice to the Governors and the Assembly.

They can suggest reforms or make proposals, but their vote on them is not valid, only the Assembly can decide.

It’s more of an honorary position than anything else.

Then there are the Mandalorian citizens.

To be considered of age, and have the right to vote, you have to complete the Verd’goten and/or follow the Resol’nare. 

All of it depends on when the citizen became a Mandalorian, if they were a child or already an adult.

It’s their role to vote for the members of the Assembly and for the Governors, but not for the Council.

They can also make requests in front of the Assembly.

#yes I was watching a video about Sparta when I made this ok #anyway the AU was actually about Luke's New Order #but I had some Mando OCs I wanted to use so I did this #oh the AU was set in 36 ABY #so the members of the government were all OCs #the only canonical characters were Sabine and Bo-Katan and the Armorer #who were part of the Council since they were all old ladies #anyway here the S3 of Mando when different since no darksaber #and no Grogu #I like to think he remained with his people at the new temple of Luke #star wars #the mandalorian

Gravity Falls Star Wars au

Okay so I'm quite aware this au has been around for some time but I wanna make my own spin in it.

So this au would be taking place during the reign of the Galactic Empire about 14 BBY, approximately the same year when Jedi: Fallen Order would take place.

Stan is a Mandalorian bounty hunter, who was a former foundling after his buir saved him from being a slave in Tatooine. He belongs to the Mandalorian sect called "Children of the Watch", which followed the ancient and traditional ways of the Mandalorians. He owns a ship that is piloted by a young woman named Wendy and a mechanic named Soos.

Dipper and Mabel are force-sensitive twins who became slaves after their parents died. They were brought to Tatooine but were unintentionally saved by Stan after taking their slaver as a bounty. They eventually found out he was their great-uncle after it was revealed that Dipper and Mabel's grandfather was his older brother. Time passed and Stan's tribe made them his foundlings and Stan their buir, making them into a clan of three. Mabel would then later follow Stan's footsteps and become a Mandalorian while Dipper would become a Jedi, following Ford's footsteps during the rise of the New Republic.

Ford is a former Jedi Knight-in-hiding and rebel, secretly aiding Jedi padawans who escaped Order 66 and serving as a spy for the rebellion. After Order 66, he was captured by the empire and tortured along with his Master. However, he managed to escape, but unfortunately leaving his Master behind, something he still regrets more than anything. He comes across Dipper and Mabel at some point which leads him to reunite with his Mandalorian twin brother, who he hasn't seen since he joined the Jedi Order. He would later become Dipper's master and teach him to control the Force.

Bill Cipher is an Inquisitor tasked with killing all remaining Jedi that were not killed during Order 66. He was Ford's former master and grew hatred for his former padawan after he abandoned him in the hands of the Empire, who tortured him and corrupted him into killing his own kind. After finding out his padawan was still alive and protecting two force-sensitive children, he sets his focus on hunting them down and killing them.

#gravity falls #ford pines #stanford pines #stan pines #stanley pines #mabel pines #dipper pines #bill cipher #gravity falls au #gravity falls x star wars #gf! star wars au #so yeah Stan is basically Din in this au #mostly inspired from The Mandalorian And Jedi : Fallen Order #Fiddleford is also in this au and he was Ford's padawan who after escaping Order 66 abandoned being a Jedi and chose to live peacefully #Okay so I haven't really watch the main movies of Star wars so I apologize if some stuff ain't adding up #but its an au so yeah #Stan may or may not accidentally win the Darksaber at some point #i'll probably make a fanart of this but it will have to wait #i got exams

What if Sabine had trained Din with the Darksaber?

Me and my buddy @Mudhorn.crafts (on IG) shot this at Star Wars Celebration, before s3 of Mando came out! We were kind of hoping for a Sabine Cameo, so we shot this as a sort of manifestation

Not pictured is me and him cracking up every 5 seconds at the intense staring at each other for this pic

I have fallen into the Codywan pit, but I'm going down with it. Idea inspired by More than Blood by generalekenobi on AO3 Cody and Obi Wan raise Luke and Leia as Mandalorian Jedi after Order 66, but on Mandalore, a Mandalore that doesn't fall to the Empire and is a strong force of resistance. Plus, force sensitive Din Djarin who was a foundling but was taken to be trained as an inquisitor and Sith. He thinks his covert is dead and that fuels a lot of his hatred for a long time. Until he meets this very pretty mandalorian named Luke, who also happens to be one of his targets. And Din has to grapple with reconnecting to his past as a foundling and mandalorian, and with his duty to the Empire and dark side. Obi Wan has a heart attack when Luke introduces Din to him and Cody.

Luke: Mom! Dad! Meet my boyfriend Din!

Obi Wan: oh maker, that's a Sith

Cody: Well at least we know he's got his father's genes

#dinluke #codywan #au idea #brain dump #maybe mand'alor Luke #He'd probably disagree with Bo Katan around The Night of A Thousand Tears #And mandalorians love fights #So maybe he wins the darksaber

Sometimes I just hate you

The real reason why Luo Binghe's sword is so OP is the fact that Xin Mo is actually a plasma sword.

Yes, a black plasma sword with a lot of history...

Specifically it was once known as the Darksaber.

Shen Yuan turns around and smacks Shang Qinghua with the fan when that particular fact is revealed when a large crowd of Mandalorians invades Luo Binghe's castle to figure out just who now has ownership of the lightsaber and whether Luo Binghe is a worthy leader for them.

"Why the fuck has this world now shifted into science fiction?!" Shen Yuan demands.

But it's to no avail. He can hear in the background of the sound of sizzling meat and decapitated limbs fall on the ground.

"This was one of the drafts!" Shang Qinghua sweats. "Luo Binghe got too OP for everything on this planet... so it was time to start pulling out the aliens, to keep this story going, okay!"

Shen Yuan stares, deadeye, into Shang Qinghua's face. "You were planning on my protagonist getting himself a Jedi wife, weren't you?"

Shang Qinghua wisely shut his mouth and didn't say anything.

"I hate you." Shen Qingqiu proclaimed. He looked up at the ceiling in askance, hoping that he could just pretend that this was all a nightmare.

But it was no use. He could practically hear Luo Binghe brain whirling away in frantic joy at the fact that he could plan another wedding - an interstellar wedding just to proclaim to all the Star Wars people that the two were married.

Damnit.

Dha Kar'ta small snippet

i'm REAL excited for this next chapter y'all. there's pining, and politics, and bonding with the haat'ade, and obi-wan knowing too much about things he shouldn't even know about in the first place, which as i'm writing all that out, that's kind of just what this fic... is

Mando'a: Mand'alor - contended ruler of Mandalore jetii - "Jedi" Haat'ade - shortned form of Haat Mando'ade meaning "True Children of Mandalore" jetii'verd - lit. "Jedi soldier"; tho with verd as a suffix it's more like addressing someone by rank jetii'alor - lit. "Jedi commander", "Jedi leader"; also more like a respectful address

  Obi-Wan laughs. “I’ll refrain then, Mand’alor. Next time, though, you shouldn’t let me fall asleep in your tent, or you should at least wake me if I do.” He isn’t even entirely sure how he had ended up in Jango’s bed, or when.

  “I wasn’t going to be able to sleep this afternoon anyway, jetii,” Jango refutes, searching through the datapads stacked precariously in front of him to find a specific one, which he hands to Obi-Wan before he can, indeed, keep pestering him about resting. “Kal compiled everything from the battle for you to look over,” Jango says, not even trying to pretend he isn’t trying to head off said pestering.

  Unable to help a small, fond sigh, Obi-Wan takes the ’pad and leans on the side of the table facing the desk. “Do you need my opinion on something specific?” he asks, looking over the numbers he’d heard on the way back from Keldabe, and finds them adjusted only a little bit from then. “The only casualties were from the Keldabe clans?” That’s impressive, even considering how much more training the Haat’ade have than Death Watch.

  Jango settles to lean on the side of his desk facing the table. “We got lucky,” he agrees, crossing his arms over his chest; Obi-Wan idly wonders if his shirt is blue or red today. “And no, I don’t need anything from you, I simply knew you would want to see the numbers.”

  The more he witnesses Jango’s first-hand knowledge of Obi-Wan, the less violating it feels, which is definitely something to meditate on later. “They’ll certainly be helpful when we confront Satine again.”

  Jango groans at that, slumping his shoulders. “I was hoping to avoid speaking with her again.”

  “You know we can’t do that, not after the way our last... discussion ended.” He wishes he could be surprised that Satine would ally with Death Watch even temporarily, but he knows that given the choice between bending a few of her morals or losing her seat of power completely, even she would shake hands with Tor Vizsla. 

  Jango rubs a hand over his eyes. “I’m aware, jetti’verd, but that doesn’t mean I hate it any less.”

  Whatever Obi-Wan had planned to say halts before his tongue, and he stares at Jango with his grip too tight on the ’pad. “Jetti’verd?” he asks incredulously, and Jango just smirks at him.

  “You refuse a Mandalorian position, in my council or otherwise; are you going to refuse one tailor-made for you, as well?”

  Obi-Wan splutters. “I am not a soldier.”

  “Would you prefer jetti’alor?”

  He can’t help scowling, not used to anyone but Quinlan ribbing him like this, not since he was a junior padawan. Well, Siri didn’t mind less-than-kind banter, but Obi-Wan had spent very little time with her after she was knighted, and he’s only spent a fraction more time with the rest of their friends. Even Yan and his playful needling doesn’t feel like this, less like a mentor teasing and chiding a mentee, more like a friend poking at you because he thinks your indignance is funny.

  Obi-Wan just has no idea what Jango hopes to gain from it.

Dinluke Week 2022 Day 3 ☀️Sun & Moon🌑

Moons are the brightest beings in the night sky, orbiting around planets, acting as a guide to natural forces in the darkest depths of space. They may seem cold and uninviting from a distance, but are a welcome and steady friend from dusk until dawn.

Suns act as beacons of gravitational control in the galaxy, holding orbits of satellites in place. Red giants, though blazing hot, are the coldest of the stars. Their short lifespans end in a deadly fate as they collapse on themselves and explode into supernovas.

Okay, so bear with me…

AU Mandalorian Obi-wan goes to Naboo with Qui-gon to break the Trade Federation blockade, wearing full Mando armor, carrying the Darksaber. Besides, Sith Lords have nothing on cranky toddlers who missed their nap.

Bo-Katan tags along, because why the hell not? And Padmé and the Handmaidens have earned her respect, simply by being armed to the teeth, but all their weaponry is cleverly hidden in the wigs and formal attire. Those fancy hair doodads are really vibroblades. They all have blasters in thigh or ankle holsters.

Anakin was supposed to stay behind on Mandalore, because a battle is no place for a child. Artoo sneaks him onboard the ship to Naboo.
