I want a time machine just so I can explain deep, deep Star Wars lore to fans from '83.

Yeah, remember Obi-Wan Kenobi? Yeah, turns out the Clone Wars he fought in- wait you remember Boba Fett? Yeah? Okay, so, Boba's dad, Jango Fett, was a template for the Jedi Order to create an army of CLONES and Obi-Wan Kenobi led a lot of those clones into war called The Clone Wars, remember him talking about that? And he also fought Boba Fett's dad because it wasn't actually the Jedi Order that commisioned the Clones, but Emporer Palpatine who was Chancellor of the Republic at the time- what? Its getting confusing? Oh ho ho buddy, just wait until I tell you about Obi-Wan falling in love with the leader of Mandlore, the planet where Boba and Jango are from, and her getting killed by a Sith Lord.

Also Darth Vader made C-3PO

a Romeo + Juliet dinluke au, a forbidden romance in the midst of the Jedi/Mandalorian war - I will go further into explanation but please keep in mind I didn't get far into planning so this is all over the place

- the au loosely followed along with the story of R+J (1996) where Din is convinced by Boba to attend a masquerade ball hosted by the queen of Naboo (Padmé), to have fun and let loose. Mandalorians are banned from visiting Naboo. Din comes across this man who is absolutely captivating despite being masked and before he could spot himself, he asks the man for a dance. They become lost in each other as if the world around them no longer existed and dance as if they've known each other their whole lives

Din and Luke escape the party to a secluded part of the beautiful palace gardens and have deep conversations about everything and anything. They both realize they're quickly falling in love. Luke admits that he's truly the prince of Naboo and Din is suddenly conflicted because he's the prince of Mandalore, the next heir to the throne, but he decides that none of that matters to him anymore. He never desired to rule in the first place. Both of his parents are still alive and are the current king and queen of Mandalore.

I didn't have much planned, but basically they began to meet in secret. Din and Luke first began to meet and travel through public transport to the lower slums of Coruscant until they became more bold to meet each other and their respective planets.

Fast forward to where Anakin (who is also still a Jedi) finds out about their secret romance and forbids Luke from leaving the palace. Din's father tries to force Din to do the same, but c'mon he's Din Djarin, he'll always find a way out. This leads to an intense argument on both sides, but Anakin is firm and stubborn whilst Din's father realizes that his son actually loves Luke and nothing will come between them. The two of them come to realize that this war is doing nothing but costing lives and depleting resources. Din's father realizes that Din was the new beginning that Mandalore needed.

The only way the throne could be taken so quickly was through battle for the Darksaber. Now here is where I was conflicted if the battle needed to end in surrender or death. I hadn't decided then so I skipped MUCH further where Din (now the king of Mandalore) sought out to end this foolish war. He marries Luke in secret, a small group of friends and family (Leia, Han, Boba, etc.) there to support and witness the marriage. That begins the first step in ending the war since Luke became the consort of Mandlore's king, surpassing his status of a prince. Din lifts the ban of any Jedi (or associates of them) from visiting Mandalore.

I wasn't sure how to proceed from there, but happy ending — the war ends, families heal, and love prospers

- I wanted to write this au, but I don't think I'd ever get around to it so I wanted to post the concepts and inspo from pinterest; I take no credit in any of these

The fear and hunger discord is being very normal about the "Finnish people are weird and sadistic" meme

so there's this one banger image that was recently crafted by some unknown saint that kept being reposted in the discord so as such it has subsequently mutated because people would NOT stop posting it. The original image

first mutation

from here on out it completely spirals

This shit is like a Mandlore gaming lowry chat bit, its really fucking good i can only wait to see how much more incomprehensible it becomes

#fear and hunger

[sugarandice3]

One of the guys I'm roadtripping with put on Clone Wars and chose the arc where Deathwatch takes over Mandlore. Now I'm sitting here having to pretend I didn't just watch one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the Clone Wars.

#Obi Wan and Satine deserved happiness #they just kill her off and Obi Wan has ro keep going like everything is fine

[pointesdulac]

totally cool to ignore/delete this, but I'm curious what your ideal mando s3 would've been. (bonus question: what parts of the season did you like/were your favorite?)

you're fine, anon!! um, for the bonus question i will admit i have not actually watched any of this season. i have only consumed gifs/tweets/learned what's happened via friends who are still watching. i only heard bad things about the show, so for my own sanity i didn't watch any of it. LOL. i truly believe that people should hit da bricks if it's annoying them!! nothing of value is lost!!

that being said, I liked that Bo-Katan and the Armourer are girlfriends now??

ANYWAY. This is a layered question because I'm not sure if you prefer I answer "how would you logically make s3 for a general audience (no gay kissing in sw)" vs "what would your fanfic of s3 be (ample gay kissing)" because those answers are very different for reasons even aside from the obvious (gay kissing). I am a huge advocate for Din becoming king since, disregarding common jokes, I think it's perfect for his character and his journey.

Ummm Worlds Apart is already my 'Din slowly accepts becoming king' exploration. I'd probably write it a little differently now, since some stuff was going on at that point and I lost passion for it along the way. I was kinda forcing myself to finish it but it's still decent I think. This was written before the BOBF episodes, though, so I guess with those developments, uhhh... Anyway, super briefly since I don't let Mando take up much space in my brain since I'm kinda disillusioned:

I'd probably do a longer/deeper exploration of Din going to the mines and getting redeemed, and keep Grogu and Din apart long enough for that to have sincere emotional weight! Obviously this isn't a realistic wish since CGI Luke is not viable for main plot, but Luke existing and then vanishing from the plot is just bizarre, so.

So, Grogu is missing his father and it affects his training. You get a great parallel from prequels when Anakin gets told how his mind is thinking so often of his mother and it's not a good thing (I am not going deeper into this or someone will jump down my throat about Jedi stuff but you get the implication). Luke picks a different tactic than the previous generation and realizes Grogu needs to go back to his dad. As this happens, Din is grateful obviously but also explains his journey/task to redeem himself. Obviously, Luke helps Din navigate Mandalore/the Mines since he feels responsible for putting Din in that position unknowingly. On this journey they get to talk about resurrecting old cultures, feeling lost in revelations about their people, and starting new paths.

Luke being in the plot in real life can't work because we can't CGI budget it, but they really made him feel like a piece of glue connecting it. He makes the Gideon force-clone business make more sense. Together, Din and Luke fight 1) Gideon's awful conquest of Mandlore and 2) figure out the clone conspiracy/learn lost Jedi information. Luke is constantly dealing with clone shit in legends. It makes sense and the unifying mando/jedi themes are romantic, complementary and we get to see both Luke and Din rise into positions of leadership/honour in regards to their chosen cultures in unison! They're mirrors they're foils they're soulmates.

I wanted to see Din become king so bad and Gideon deserved to die by having his head cut off with the heirloom of the people whose planet and culture he tried to extinguish!!! gideon was fucked up for using the darksaber against the mandalorians and it should've thematically come back to get him!! din deserved to rule as a just, earnest king who proved mandalore was not what everyone believed it to be!! literally hero's journey 101 and they couldn't follow the clear path they laid out for themselves!!

but what do i know i just like to think about the guys kissing and stuff

#anyway #i'll delete this later #idk i don't interact with fandom anymore for obvious reasons #save for a few friends #but sometimes i miss my ship but i feel like i can't interact with it #them's the breaks

wedding asks! ✨💗 obvs for maul and ayane

6. Who were the first people to find out about the engagement? How did they react?

9. Show us a mood/stimboard of their wedding's general aesthetic.

19. What was the ceremony like? Any highlights?

Awww thanks for the ask! I love this subject 🥴💕

6. So basically no one did find out about it, because Maul and Ayane kept it a secret till after their married. The wedding itself before Maul leaves to Mandlore and they decide to marry before that. There was not much time for it.

9. I imagine it as a classic nordic wedding with a touch of my own ideas 💕

19. The ceremony looks so that they both went to the old tree on the cliffs. The only person coming with them would be a sage knowing the old traditions of Midgard. Here I heard that an old germanic tradition was that the pair has to jump over a campfire for the engagement. So I would want that for those too and combine that with the ceremony itself. The campfire would be in front of the old tree and the weeding rings are placed on it. In order to reach them Maul and Ayane have to jump over the fire together after they told their vows.

The rings are those from Ayanes parents. They will be given to the next generation after a wedding.

Ayanes dress would be the one her mother wore and Maul would get a traditional clothing of Midgard with the fur of an animal he had to hunt for the engagement.

I have MANY ideas for them and I'll definitely look after a comission for them 💕

The pleasant buzz faded again and once more Starlight recalled the warnings Almec had tried to impose.

Stay away from the Mandlor…

Refuse his affections…

Starlight did not heed any of the warnings. Why do so?

If Maul called for them then they would go.

Why refuse the affections of one like Maul? Maul

Never had Starlight felt so adored. Bruises upon their hips and love bites scattered about their frame.

Maul was quite physical about his affections. Starlight always abuzz thrilled about the kisses bestowed when all left the throne room.

It’s not as if his favor was a secret, all knew that lord Maul adored Starlight…

But don’t let him hear that You know.

“He’s going to be angry…” starlight muttered.

“Let him.” Maul growled, “ I choose who I want…”

A soft gasp.

Maul has disappeared under the soft sheets and Starlight chants his name.

Star wars New mandalorians

Okay I am seeing a lot of how cannon new mandalorions are racists towards aliens despite that never being shown (like I am disappointed that no aliens like mandellian giants are shown in clone wars but they wouldn't of liked the new mandos or death watch) how

satine was erasing their culture despite only stopping war cause no society is based of war alone (like the celts, vikings and samurai had things outside their honor in war or raiding lifestyles)

Or complaining she has a painting of herself (I think these people forgot she is a duchess and nobility do these kind of things)

Also for the dark saber I would forgive the cult using it as space Excalibur if people out of universe as oh yeah its has the right to make someone the mandlore cause pre didn't win it he inherited it maul did and well maul lost it then sabine ended up with it who had it stolen by saxon then won it back, then she give it to bo (which why you were trained with it sabine you don't give items to people who don't know how to use them)

Riduurok Entye

@kadbejetiise​ | the Emperor’s Quarters

“Solo,” Fett said. He held very still after he spoke in case she reacted with instinctive violence. He would have (and regularly did) if someone had somehow sneaked into his ship and called his name like that, and while Fett was wearing a full set of Vasur’s beskar, he wasn’t stupid enough to take unnecessary chances with a Jedi and her lightsaber no matter how durable his armor. Especially not a Jedi that he had trained to fight.

He probably should have announced his presence with more than that. He also probably should have come in through the front door instead of a back window, but old habits died hard even when they were hard on old knees. Besides, he’d figured that the new empress -- or whatever she’d decided to call herself; Fett couldn’t imagine that Organa was too thrilled with her daughter’s new position, whatever title she chose to go by -- would appreciate the discretion of a more subtle entrance.

Fett had generally preferred to operate under the visibility of his reputation rather than relying on the subterfuge of anonymity, but in some ways he was more notable now than he’d even been, even with half the galaxy still convinced that he was someone else wearing a dead man’s suit of armor. Being the Mandalore wasn’t the same as being the head-of-state of any other world, but it still carried some weight. Especially, Fett assumed, in the Imperial Remnant. The Empire and Mandalore (the planet) had a past. So did the Empire and Mandalore the man, but that was all business.

And it wasn’t business he was here on today. Hence the uncharacteristic awkwardness in his posture, in the way his booted feet shifted slightly against the too-plush carpet under them. Fett’s entire life had been all business before he’d let Shysa saddle him with this Madalore fierfek, and he’d never learned -- or cared to learn -- how to operate outside that arena. But Fett always paid his debts, so Mandalore he was and Mandlore he would remain. Even when he’d almost have rather jumped back down the sarlacc’s gullet than do what that job required.

“Have an invitation for you. Figured you’d rather not get it through diplomatic channels.”

Not that the Mandalore of Mandalore couldn’t deliver a social invitation to the wife of the Imperial Remnant’s new emperor, but people would notice that. That would be official, and would thus require some sort of official political response. One battered old Mandalorian bounty hunter disabling the security system and slipping in unseen through the window was a very different thing, and much more to Fett’s taste. He had a feeling it would be more to Solo’s, too, at least provided she didn’t try too hard to kill him for startling her.

[w-k-smith]

Are we still doing Cowboy Friday? Are we still doing Din is Haunted?

Anyway, here’s “The Ghost Town of Mandalore.”

_______________________________________________________________________

Out west, on a mesa that sits in the elbow of a river, lies a town called Mandalore. The people there are strong and honest-dealing, many of them having become soldiers of fortune after the land couldn’t quite be farmed into submission. If you’ve lived your life peaceably enough that no one has a reason to put a price on your head, Mandalore will present as hardscrabble but friendly. Even so, shadows lurk between the homes and stables that don’t present themselves to outsiders without careful attention. The one you’re most likely to meet is the sheriff.

He’s a fearless but soft-spoken man, with a scarf wrapped high and his hat tipped low. You’ll meet no one who can describe his face. He has a revolver on his hip and a knife in his boot, but they’re outshined by the sword with the black blade on the sheriff’s back. The sword is a relic, like an old war saber, but it’s not out of use. The metal of the blade has never been named, but it has a strange glow to it. Rather, it has the opposite of a glow; it seems to pull in light from the world around it.

Now, there’s a certain kind of person who will see a hardened man with a badge and automatically try to press their luck against him. The sheriff hasn’t lost a duel yet, and none of the other parties have ever walked away. The sheriff will take that sword off his back so fast that the motion can’t be seen, and before his opponent has time to pull the trigger or strike with their own knife, that opponent will be struck down with what seems to be darkness itself. The sheriff will then walk away as if nothing has happened, while the sword hums and pulses in his hand. He has been sheriff of Mandalore for quite some time.

There are whispers that the sheriff is no man, if he ever was. That he is, could be, a husk of someone who once existed. Most likely, he’s the shape of a person meant as bait, the way a fishing lure is not the worm or insect it pretends to be. But he guards Mandalore without prejudice, and has never killed anyone who didn’t declare their intention to kill him first. There’s no real reason to want him to gone, besides the uncanny aura of it all.

The one thing that’s clear enough to all is that the sword may be on the sheriff’s back, but the sword is wearing the sheriff.

Mandalore has a peculiar superstition about mirrors, which is you shouldn’t look into them in the dark. This leads to many mirrors being covered at night, or kept away from rooms without windows. Many townsfolk have a practiced aversion to gazing into any reflective surface, no matter how bright the sun, lamps, or candles burn.

An adventurous or foolish person might peer through the shadows to look at themselves in a mirror. According to most versions of the story, outsiders rarely see anything but their own faces. Stare long enough and hard enough, though, and a crowd will form behind you. No, it will form behind your reflection. Look over your shoulder, and you’ll see you’re alone as you ever were.

The people joining you in the mirror won’t look quite natural. When they’re still, they’re still, but when they move, every jerk of the limb is short and purposeful. Slowly, they’ll move toward you. If you’ve a sharp enough eye, you might make out the wounds that killed them.

You must not let them touch you.

That might be a legend, but this is true: Mandalore has no graveyard.

On some clear nights, when they’re resting too easily in their beds, the citizens of Mandalore say the air fills with screams. The sound won’t last long, and is always over by dawn, but it’s impossible to sleep through. A lightning storm of awful sound. Walk the border of Mandalore if you want, peer over the edge of the mesa, take the steep road down to the bank of the river, the screams won’t get any louder or quieter, and you’ll never find their source. The people of Mandalore have stopped trying. Most stay in their beds as if they’re still asleep. Their eyes stay open. They feel whatever their consciences make them feel at the sound of voices crying in the night, be it guilt or pity or perhaps cold familiarity.

The phenomenon has generally been written off by experts as the howling of coyotes, echoed and distorted by the uneven terrain. Though most coyotes don’t scream “Mama, help me!”

For all the tall tales, Mandalore is a place you could pass through and find perfectly regular. Sit in the saloon and hear songs about wars gone by. Talk to town elders and learn of the animals and people who once lived in the territory, but who have passed into nothingness for reasons no one will say directly. Find a place with a good view to watch the sun set and the stars rise. If you stay long enough, you’ll learn whether the stories are true. A town’s ghosts won’t reveal themselves to a stranger.

I like to imagine Luke's school being a combo school. Like after Din shows up (he's gotta check on his baby!) The few other students look has take interest and somehow he ends up teaching them some fighting himself, and on child opts to don armour, as a mandalorian jedi and Din is you know, a little touched. Also he is referred to as Teacher Din. Just like various other non-force users who come by and teach things. Lando and Han teach smuggling, and gambling and han and leia team up to teach how to use blasters, leis teaches diplomacy and how to live with burning passion and anger, but never loose yourself to it. Chewie teaches forest craft and he and han also teach Shrywook, luke teaches bocce and huttese, din teaching mandalorian Wedge teaches flying, with luke then taking the advanced force users once wedge has them to competent pilots. Ahsoka teaches things she learned as a younling in the temple, as well as how to be a spy, how to crash a ship and call it a landing (there may be an amused force ghost aiding in that one) Rex stays at the temple where his general and his generals son are, and teaches about warfare and brotherhood. the children grow up learning the ways of the force and mandalorian and the ways of the galaxy some do don armour some even vow to not remove their helmet, some are more traditional jedi, others look towards being political negotiators, some are a new form of the jedi shadows, but each was allowed to choose and find a balance in who they are and the will of the force.

#way #i have feelings #din is the manda'lor #and many mandalorians start coming to the school #see the younglings learning #the ways of the mandlore #and many coverts send a representatice #to teach their #so din does kinda end up helping revive the mandalorians #and with this new generation being so entwined with the jedi #the old emnity kind of falls away

Me, seeing Bo and Xanatos on your tags for that one post: :DDDDD

Anyway do you have any spare thoughts? Loose headcanons? Perhaps a vibe?

okay so my first thought was just "ryan and kelly from the office" even though that (a) barely makes any sense and (b) requires that you've suffered through watching all nine seasons to get it, but basically, I picture them as this on again/off again couple that hate each other as much as they love the drama of being together and also fail at every grand plan they attempt.

Xanatos is, of course, absolutely bugfuck insane (which, side note: how we feeling about Padmé 'I can fix him' Amidala running into that), and Bo-Katan is less insane—or at least way better at hiding it—but they're both incredibly ambitious, both incredibly bad at ever managing to get what they want, and both feel betrayed by the people who should have cared for them and are funneling that into hatred for the beliefs and culture they were raised with. They'd never work as a couple, but neither of them are particularly interested in being functional. Toss Xan forward a couple decades into the height of the Empire when Mandlore is (even more of) a smoking wasteland, have Bo-Katan have to work with him for a job, and watch the bodies roll.
