Jango Headcanon
So I read about someone lobbing the idea of Jango acting out of revenge to George Lucas, who stressed that Jango was in it for the money, not for revenge. Which is hard to balance in a universe where Galidraan happened. But, I have an idea:
So Galidraan happens. After Jango escapes from being enslaved he goes after the Governor and Tor, but no one else. So I’m thinking he’s a bit gun-shy of revenge. He craved revenge so hard it blinded him to Death Watch’s trap and the Jetii – at least until it was too late! So Jango makes a promise to himself while enslaved: When he escapes he’ll kill the Governor and Tor. He’s got nothing else to lose at this point. And after they’re both dead he’ll be done – done with revenge, done with Jaster’s Legacy, with the Supercommandoes, everyone and everything.
So Jango takes his Final Revenge and becomes a bounty hunter. He has nothing left of his family or his people, nothing to take away or take vengeance for so he’s just in it for the money from now on. Of course when Dooku seeks him out as the genetic template, that tests Jango’s resolve, but he won’t do it. He won’t give into revenge again. He IS thinking of turning down the job until he hears about Kamino, about clones...and thinks of a legacy for himself. So maybe he won’t work for Dooku just for money, but for a chance to pass his legacy on?
Of course ultimately Jango swings too far the other way and in ignoring his desire for revenge, he ends up doing a lot of morally reprehensible things like selling three million children into slavery!

Jaster & Tor
For me, one of the most hilarious and no less furious aspects of Jaster Mereel’s treatment in the sources is how he is hailed as the great figure in Mandalorian history that brought back honor between Mandalorian Mercs and all but like, not getting any real development for over two decades. Sure, he got here and there mini encyclopedia entries and some mention in regard to Jango Fett, but never anything truly expanding his characterization beyond the general image of “good” Mandalorian created by tie-in sources - an image I find a pretty bland one compared to retconned “The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett” (in which Jaster Mereel originated from) and Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics series.
This is hilarious, because Tor Vizsla got a personal entry in Fact Files - an article biased as hell but still acknowledging both him as character and his impact on Jango & Mandalorians - and a whole section of Bounty Hunter Code for himself and Death Watch. And though I will forever stand with Jango that the Manifesto doesn’t sound much like him (but I like the idea the Manifesto is based on Tor’s notes just edited by someone to be more reader-friendly), there is like 30 pages expanding history and his person while Jaster is once again reduced to small mention here and there. And look, it is hilarious to me that Vizsla and Death Watch is the Mandalorians that Lucas wanted to keep for The Clone Wars, throwing out of window the supposedly great Jaster Mereel and True Mandalorians without any second thought but good damn, it is so frustrating we can’t get any solid material on him even though Bounty Hunter Code was the perfect opportunity to bring him back, as it would make a perfect sense for Jango to keep Jaster’s notes if not the whole Codex.
It is also frustrating because Tor and Jaster are like the two Mandalorians officially writting down important stuff and apparently both were versed in Mandalorian history & lore and I for one would love to compare their notes to get the feeling of middle-ground and see their ideas from the proper perspective not from biased sources that clearly favores Jaster - even if in JF:OS, after making research and interrogating Jango’s allies, Dooku’s only conclusion was that for Mereel Mandalorians were “merely highly-paid soldiers”. Which is hardly the same as bringing work ethic to your group (not that it does cross out the possibility of having actual moral standards, but it does not automatically mean the same). It is frustrating, because we don’t get that often Mandalorians with literary tendencies - hell, we didn’t get any other Mandalorian like that for years because almost everything is about the oral culture which makes Tor Vizsla and Jaster Mereel’s existence even more hilarious, as the two literature nerds that at some point sit down and write their own input - Tor about history and political goals for new members of Death Watch, Jaster about work ethics for True Mandalorians. And it is even more hilarious than that, because Jango Fett presumably read both works and HE DOESN’T READ BOOKS BECAUSE HE THINKS THEY ARE WASTE OF TIME:
Boba's father didn't read much. "Books? A waste of time," he said. "Read maps, Boba. Instructions. Warnings. Important stuff." [Boba Fett Book 1: The Fight to Survive by Terry Bisson]
#star wars#jaster mereel#tor vizsla#jango fett#mandalorians#death watch#true mandalorians#LOOK FOR ME JASTER AND TOR ARE THE OLD GUARD TYPE OF MANDALORIANS#they may not agree on what it is mean to be mandalorian in modern times#they may hate each other#but both at some point decided to write a fucking book-ish type of work#solely to pass it to other members of their group to uphold standards and ideals they believe in#AND THERE IS JANGO WHO DOESN'T READ BOOKS#and he read dw manifesto as can be seen by his comments#and presumbly read jaster's work either to please his mentor or was forced to do so#WE WERE ROBBED#tor and jaster should get more spotlight in books and comics not just some biased tie-in materials#WE NEED MORE MANDO NERDS WHO WILL SIT DOWN AND WRITE THE IMPORTANT STUFF FOR US#AND TO TORMENT JANGO WITH MORE BOOKS TO READ XDDD#but seriously jaster deserves so much better and it seems my new tradition to write a rant about him once in every year or two lol#tor too deserves better#the only more frustrating thing is how jaster tag is now full of jedi and still barely about him but i guess the poor bastard is really#that unlucky lol

For all the Obi/Jango and Obi/Cody I put on this blog??? Yeah Obi-Wan and Quinlan have been Jedi married since they were 9-10 and found a book on how Jedi ceremonies work and had a Jedi handfasting ceremony with Bant as the officiant and their friends all there telling them they’re gonna get in trouble.
Anyways. Baby soulmates. They might have a couple kids together. But I don’t care if they stay together they just have decided their souls will be entwined for all eternity in the ether. Sometimes Quinlan blows Obi-Wan’s back out. Sometimes Quinlan watches someone else do it. We all have our kinks. Theirs is being jerks and no one will ever understand them as much as each other.
Obi-Wan puts salt in Quinlan’s caff and Quinlan never expects it. Quinlan tells all Obi’s boyfriends embarrassing stories. It’s rude.
So basically. They are The Ship. It’s just that any other romance in the fic happens to be side pairing to them being horribly codependent. I don’t care if Quinlan interrupts Obi-Wan’s date with Jango to complain about his relationship issues with *insert anyone here* Jango will just have to accept that Obi doesn’t even want to leave to go comfort Quin, but he WILL invite Quin to come over and cuddle BOTH of them (Jango is. Baffled. Is this a threesome??? Is he about to have a threesome??? Maybe he can hand Quinlan to Myles they might either fuck or fight to the death it’s okay him and Obi can watch. Like a movie) and Jango just. Accepts that.
People who date Obi just accept that he has two barnacles in the form of a very annoying Kiffar prince and what might be the Messiah of the outer rim???? They’re not quite sure about the growling blonde, but he’s sure adorable. Jango watched him kill a man with the power of his brain that one time. He wants to keep him. And study him.
Obi just. Comes with category 5 clingers.
#star wars#obi wan kenobi#anakin skywalker#quinlan#quinobi#jangobi#jango fett#aayla is annoying and likes to cling sometimes like a bratty kitten#but she’s also a very independent girl when she’s not demanding master’s cuddles and kisses

Okay I had a lovely and very horny idea late last night, and I figured I would share.
Basic premise is that clones have no sense of body shame (because they grew up where 95% of everyone around them looked the same) and Jedi, for the most part, have no body shame because of the whole "luminous beings we are not this crude matter." I mean sure for both groups there are exceptions, but for the most part Jedi and clones don't care about nudity. They also don't care about being shy about sex. Sex is natural and feels good.
Mandos on the other hand, like to cover up like Victorian maidens and they have matching sensibilities about nekkid time.
(more under the cut for spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️)
Okay, so in this fic, Jango is alive because I wanna scar Jango. I love him so much but I want him to be punished for his crimes 😈
Anyway, basic set up, things are like canon, Jango is the clone template, a bounty hunter, morally dark gray asshole, hater of Jedi yadda yadda, but also at some point he got control of Mandalore again. He's Mand'alor, ruling the sector, and didn't die. Like canon, Mandalore wants nothing to do with the war, but just like in canon keep getting dragged into shit.
BTW Satine is not gone in this AU because I love her. I think she and Jango have a very loveless political marriage for the stability of Mandalore. Satine is head advisor, and in reality she's the one actually getting shit done in Mandalore's government. Do you think Jango gives a shit about infrastructure? About economics, land rights, keeping the peace between clans, or setting and collecting taxes? Does Jango even know how to fund hospitals, schools, and roads? HELL NO! He leaves that to Satine, who's doing the actual work of running the government, but Jango always gets the final say cause he's the absolute ruler and whatnot. Yes Jango and Satine butt heads and sometimes he fucks up her projects, but for the most part, he leaves the bureaucracy to her.
Anyway, back on track. So at some point Mandalore has to make nice with the Republic. They're going to make a treaty. The Republic sends Obi-Wan and the 212th because 1) Obi-Wan is the Negotiator and 2) Obi-Wan can actually speak Mando'a and is familiar with their leaders and culture.
Of course as soon as Jango hears it's Obi-Wan on his way, he cockblocks Satine. He knows they have a history. He's not going to take the chance that Satine will go soft on her old flame. He's going to deal with the Jedi himself.
Meanwhile Satine is laughing at him on the inside because if he thinks he can handle Obi-Wan Kenobi better than her, he's even more of a meathead than she thought.
Anyway, Obi-Wan and the 212th touch down on Mandalore. Jango, being an absolute ass, goes with a power play right off the bat. He issues a single room for Obi-Wan and his soldiers. To be fair, it's a barracks room, so it can fit quite a few of Obi-Wan's entourage, but even though Obi-Wan informs Jango how many people are coming, Jango only provides half the number of beds required. So when Obi-Wan comes down, there's barely enough space for all the men.
Obi-Wan and the men play it cool. They'll just double bunk. No problem. (Cody, of course, volunteers instantly to be Obi-Wan's bed buddy. No one is surprised.)
Jango is a little irritated at how calm they are about the arrangements, so he decides to double down on the assholery. He orders his staff to turn the heat up in the guest barracks.
This was his first mistake.
His second mistake was barging into the room early in the morning with his advisors in an effort to surprise the Republic dogs. The 212th are half asleep. And every. Single. One. Is. NAKED.
The Mandos brains short out. That's a LOT of nekkid men sharing beds or laying on the bare floor. Sure the room is hot, but don't they have the decency to wear light sleep clothes?! (Jokes on them, the Republic doesn't provide pajamas.)
Jango is not about to be beaten though. He's red as a chilli pepper under his helmet, but he's going to power play like a BOSS. He demands to be pointed in the direction of Kenobi. (A sleepy soldier points to the back of the room and promptly passes back out on his brother's sweaty stomach.)
The Mandos march to the back, struggling not to look at all the exposed body parts. (The advisors are horrified to realize they now know what their Mand'alor looks like naked.)
Jango is sure the Jedi at least will be clothed (don't Jedi wear like 10 layers of robes?) but to his horror, Obi-Wan is lounging nude on his bed, working on a data pad. Commander Cody is sprawled out next to him in the bed fast asleep, also nude, and (to Jango horror) sporting morning wood. (The advisors are now crying under their buckets because now they've seen their leader's erect cock, how scandalous!)
"Good morning, Alor, how may I help you?" Obi-Wan asks politely in a quiet voice so as not to disturb Cody's sleep. Jango sputters, his brain rebooting.
"Cover your dicks!" Jango finally growls out. This wakes up Cody, who opens one glaring eye. Cody mutters under his breath before rolling over, pressing his hard on into Obi-Wan's side to cover it, then hitching up a leg to cover Obi-Wan's groin.
"Happy now, Prime?" Cody grumbles. He doesn't wait for an answer before promptly closing his eyes. (The Mandos have blue screened. Mando.exe error)
Obi-Wan looks fondly at Cody before looking back at Jango expectantly. Jango sputters some BS nonsense and keeps staring resolutely at Obi-Wan hair line before making the basic pleasantries to leave. Cody mutters "Finally" before rolling back over, exposing his hard dick again. The head is suspiciously shiny and there's a bit of wetness against Obi-Wan's side. Jango firmly Stops Thinking About It before basically sprinting outta there, his advisors following in his wake. He orders more bedding for the Republic envoy pronto and to lower the AC in the room. Make it chilly.
Now Jango is not one to give up. He's going to one up the Jedi. He does his trick of barging in unannounced, his advisors with him. They're all going to be clothed this time because now it's cold in here.
No such luck.
The 212th have made a giant cuddle pile in the center of the room to keep warm. While yes, a few soldiers are wearing their thermal blacks and wrapping up in blankets, most of them are butt ass naked in a giant pile snuggling for warmth and comfort. And since it's no longer hot, more than a few of them have decided to let off some steam with sexy times. (None of the Mandos wanted to know what Jango's O-face looked like, but apparently they get to know now!)
But to give Jango credit, he's not willing to back down. He asks to be shown to Kenobi. (A clone points him to the far edge of the pile before going back to pound a fellow trooper into the mattress.)
Red faced, Jango and (most) of his advisors march over to the Jedi. (One poor advisor was just like "Nope!" and dipped.) Luckily it looks like Kenobi is one of the ones who kept clothes on. Yes Cody is sprawled on top of him, dozing, but they're both wearing their shirts and a blanket is over them for warmth.
"How may I help you, gentle beings?" Obi-Wan asks politely. He's petting Cody's hair. It's disgustingly domestic and Jango HATES it. (But at least they're not doing anything risque, because Jango thinks he'll die if he ever saw one of his clones fucking a Jedi.)
Jango starts in on his well practiced speech of all the demands Mandalore has for the Republic. He goes on and on, sounding angrier and angrier. He's desperately trying to ignore the wet sloppy sounds behind him and the moans. Another advisor flees. Jango takes note to prepare discriminatory action.
Finally, Cody opens one baleful eye and calmly says, "Shut up."
Cody sits up on Obi-Wan's lap. The blanket falls, revealing that while they had their shirts on, they had kicked off their lowers at some point. Cody apparently was warming Obi-Wan, because the Jedi's prick is firmly wedged in his Commander's ass.
Cody proceeds to rant at Jango about how this is not the time to talk politics and demands. They have a goddamn schedule, remember?! Their meeting is later. The 212th has rest time for at least another 2 hours, this is a private space given to them, and the Mandos being fucking rude for bothering them.
As he continues berating the Mandos, Obi-Wan starts softly moaning underneath him. Cody has decided to lightly bounce on his Jedi's lap because he's a multi-tasker, and he's fucking horny after warming his Jedi for half an hour. Jango and his advisors are staring and dying a little inside. It's like watching a speeder wreck. They can't look away.
Cody wraps up his little rant before turning his attention solely on his panting Jedi.
"You cum when I say you can," Cody orders firmly before riding Obi-Wan in earnest. The Jedi cries out in agreement, his hips bucking. Cody starts groaning out filthy praise, "Oh oh your dick is so perfect! Long and fat and filling me up so good! Good boy..."
Jango books it outta there, his advisors trailing after him.
Later, when they have the official meeting, Jango wants this to be over with pronto. He agrees to everything Obi-Wan says. He just wants the Jedi and the clones gone. He can't look Obi-Wan or Cody in the eyes. Satine is giving Jango the side eye, but also smirking a little. She doesn't know what happened, but whatever Obi-Wan did, it rattled Jango and she's laughing at him for it.
She also offers to let Obi-Wan and the 212th stay longer as her personal guests so Jango can't just throw them out. Jango is horrified to know that these horny degenerates are going to be on his planet longer. Obi-Wan gracefully accepts her offer. Satine suggests that the 212th explore the city. The 212th heads out and more than a few hook up with some locals. Sooooo many Mandos now know what Jango looks like naked. Jango is nicknamed "Mand'alor the Lover" and "Mand'alor the Big Dick". He's dying.

GOD AM I FEELING EMOTIONS ABOUT JASTER/DUKE THIS MORNING
(Explanation: @archangelsunited once implied the ship in a fic and I've been obsessed ever since.)
They'd have gotten married if not for Korda VI. They were working to compromise and collaborate for the good of all Mandalore, both politically and romantically. And then Jaster died.
The almost-family of it all.
Stepsiblings but not. Jango was more aware of it as it was happening and Satine only really understood later in life as a teen when her dad explained some stuff. Bo is full of resentment because Jango abandoned Mandalore and left her without a fight-y role model. Satine resents him because he was back on the scene and Doing Bounty Stuff by the time her father was assassinated and forced her to go on the run, he should have come and HELPED, either to stabilize Mandalore or to protect her.
Jango views Satine's collaboration with the Jedi and her choice to not pursue reparations for Galidraan as a personal betrayal.
God they're so fucking. Juicy
@threebea:
And literally none of them have spoken since they were all teenagers/children but they've all been stewing on it
It's like: you disappointed me in this way when the person that they're disappointed with hasn't existed for at least a decade
Pre is also there. Not involving himself with the family bullshit. He's just here to Politik.
Pre has his own bitterness about not being included. Maybe even resentful of the kryze's because Jaster and his father(or uncle or whatever Tor is) was close to Jaster for a long time until he wasn't But keeps it very cool and professional
But he looks at the scattered family and he sees something whole
God the duke Jaster and tor definitely had the world's messiest threesome at one point during like their first and only attempt at talks. It was all broke up ex hate sex and it was very good but also did not help anything at all.
#jaster mereel#Duke Kryze#adonai kryze#satine kryze#bo katan kryze#jango fett#pre vizsla#tor vizsla#star wars#the clone wars#sw legends#Phoenix Talks#shipping#JasterDuke#do you think Jaster would call him Adi the way irl couples call each other Baby

I like shipping Obi-wan with basically any adult (especially male) character ever...so here is a non-exhausted list of characters I ship him with and why. (inspired by @grumpy-tooka 's post)
Quinlan Vos: They are friends with benefits, they started fooling around in their teens, and meet up whenever they are both between missions to hang out (and maybe fuck, if both their padawans are out). They are extremely loyal to each other, Quinlan lets Obi-wan help when he's drifting to the dark side, and Obi-wan trusts him to get help when he needs it.
Cody: They share something on the emotional level, two people who are always in charge of the situation, and struggle to rely on others for their personal issues. They would both put their own loyalties above their relationship with each other, and that works for them. They both hold the hope that when the war is over, they will discuss their unspoken (but known) feelings for each other.
Satine Kryze: A shared kiss here and there, oung love, two people who's loyalties to their own people would make them incompatible in the long run. They enjoy bickering, but can't last longer than a few weeks before they'd get tired of each other. There is still affection between them, but they both know that they wouldn't have worked.
Dexter Jetsetter: They fucked like once ten years ago, when they were both in a tight situation. I imagine that they happened to both be hiding from someone, and had to rely on one another to escape. The adrenaline and tension led to a quickie or something, and they became great friends. Nowadays all they do is flirt, but they are always happy to help each other out.
Jango Fett: Their tension on Kamino was CRAZY. I think there was some serious attraction between them, but neither would feel comfortable enough to actually fuck about it. They would both struggle with feeling comfortable around someone who is tied to the murder of a number of their people (some more than others).
Bail Organa: Bail and Breha have a loving and open relationship. Bail's interest in Obi-wan has lasted since they first met, and he has no shame in reminding Obi-wan that he and Breha would be delighted to share some time together (both in the bed, and out of it). They hold extreme amounts of respect for each other for their loyalty to their people and their dedication to do what is right.
Cad Bane: I think they had tension during the Rako Hardeen arc, that tense alliance between bounty hunters with trust issues is the perfect space for sexual tension. While I don't think they fucked, they definitely COULD have, and they know it.
Darth Maul: Maul's obsession with Obi-wan bleeds into all aspects of his life, including sexually. Neither of them would truly act on it. Obi-wan can see that Maul is attractive, but he is not interested in him sexually (too traumatized by his actions to think of him like that).
Asajj Ventress: Just flirting between them, their interest in each other is actually 95% platonic, they're just really weird about it. There is a decent amount of respect between them, as well as annoyance, resentment, and yearning for connection.
Kit Fisto: Sparring buddies, rare friends with benefits, very casual about it.
Alpha-17: Their time on Zygerria built a LOT of trust between them, they fucked once, and their interest in each other is now purely professional.
Cerasi + Nield: The three of them were codependant as fuck, it was more platonic than anything else, but they cuddled at night and were extremely loyal to one another.
Rex: They could bond over the headache that is Anakin, and later, over the betrayal that led to the enslavement and annihilation of their people. There is a connection there, that they would likely never act on, they are both instead consumed by guilt together.
Fox: They both hate politicians and dealing with the senate, they'd both love to be able to kill Palpatine, maybe they'd fuck about it?
Bruck Chun: The bullying could have been caused by both jealousy, AND a romantic interest. Obviously nothing ever happened about it, but Bruck had a little crush, and Obi-wan only realized later as an adult.
Hondo Ohnaka: They COULD fuck, but they mostly flirt for the fun of it, it makes everyone around them uncomfortable (and they think it's funny)
There are many MANY more ...but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head...
#obi wan is the fandom bicycle#and I love that for him#obi wan kenobi#star wars#quinlan vos#commander cody#satine kryze#dexter jettster#dex#jango fett#bail organa#breha organa#cad bane#darth maul#asajj ventress#kit fisto#alpha 17#cerasi#nield#captain rex#fox#bruck chun#hondo ohnaka#thats all I think#finally#wars#I am NOT writing all those ship names...#rambles

Spoopy (... mostly Monsterfucker-y) Codywan Fic Recs 🌕🐺
This is not a conclusive compilation, just my round-up of faves! Happy Halloween, everyone!!!
[Rated E] Full Moon Blues and the Warmth of the Sun by @anaclastic-azurite
Lovely AU where Cody is a sun elf and Obi-Wan is his werewolf boyfriend who is going through a rut. There is also another work in the series that's rated M :3
[Rated E] Es gibt Wölfe im Wald by @brigittttoo
Super atmospheric magical two parter in which Cody lives in a cabin in the woods and Obi-Wan is a werewolf that lives there.
[Rated G] at the breakers' edge by @wrennette
Nice and atmospheric fic where Cody moves to a cottage by the sea and his neighbor is a wolfman/wulver. Forever lives rent free in my head.
[Rated E] Thicker than water by @galateagalvanized
Look. If you haven't read this already, you need to complete your life and read it ASAP. It's canonverse but Obi-Wan is a vampire. The push and pull between need, want, and denial is delicious. Also, it contains my favorite codywan art ever.
[Rated E] what dreams may come by @biscuityskies
Cody is ass over heels for his PhD advisor, Ben. A spicy encounter at a bar and they decide to hook up. Oh, and did I mention Ben is a vampire? 😏 This is one for my fellow sub Cody, bottom Cody AND monsterfucker Cody enthusiasts
[Rated T] make a choice by @inkformyblood
Cody wakes up a newly turned vampire. It's in the same 'vers as the next fic rec. Also, though this fic is rated teen... Obi-Wan and Cody definitely start fucking nasty as soon as it fades to black. It is so deeply homoerotic, as every vampire story inherently is.
[Rated E] drink you down by @cillyscribbles
They're vampires. They're grossly in love. They're fucking and sucking. Blood kink galore muwahahaha
[Rated E] Thirty-One Sons, Thirteen Moons by sual
Jango is cursed to keep having children delivered to his doorstep every year. Obi-Wan, a witch, believes he can solve his problem. It only includes um. Fornicating with one of his sons. Cody volunteers. So they move in together. They fall in love. Amazing vibes.
[Rated G] A Taste Of... by @skybreakprimeonao3
More fairytale than spoopy but Obi-Wan is a witch and Cody is a prince. There's a whole series but the first fic is my favorite.
[Rated E] A Hunter For Dinner by @snowywinterevenings
Obi-Wan is a sex demon, the Fetts are hunters. Obviously Obi-Wan and Cody hook up. Vaguely inspired by Supernatural.

On a star wars prequels kick. AU where Sidious buys Shmi and tiny Anakin from Gardulla, like yes this the best back up apprentice plan ever.
Maul is obviously Not Happy, tries to pull some shit and Shmi is like. No.
Anyway Shmi secretly adopts a raging teenager and they plan to kill their slaver. Maul's not really in a place to accept a parental figure and Shmi only has the resources and energy for one son, so they end up with a somewhat sibling like relationship.
At some point, Shmi gets shunted out of the picture, and a furious Maul is left to cobble together a new plan on his own and he manages to escape with Anakin but not kill Sidious. Fuck, Shmi's not here and Maul has to take care of her kid on his own. Fuck. Oh well, he can't be worse than Sidious... Fuck it, he's going to be a best caretaker ever out of sheer spite. Anakin can be his apprentice now and it will be epic.
Anakin doesn't really want to be a Sith in particular but he's free! He can always say no later so he figures he might as well be Maul's apprentice until he finds his mom again. He likes Maul and maybe he can teach him how to fly because wow those were some crazy moves.
At some later point, an ex-padawan Obi-Wan stumbles upon two traumatised former Sith apprentices. One is a small child and terribly endearing, and the other is a passionate but still incredibly dubious caretaker okay? What's he going to do? Walk away and forget?
Maul hates him. Anakin adores him, maybe a little too much. Cue dysfunctional found family shenanigans.
Maul is determined to be a Sith without his master, Obi-Wan is there to say which Sith things are bloody fucking insane and not allowed in this house (ugly fucking smuggler ship that Anakin keeps tinkering with to have, are those flamethrowers in the walls?! Anakin.). Maul is there to stab at Obi-Wan's great wall of Disaster Lineage Repression™️ until it starts to crumble. They argue a lot and somehow both end up with healthier mental states and force connections. While arguing about how best to take care of a child they decide they need an third adult opinion and accidentally rope everyone into therapy.
They reunite with Shmi and wow, Anakin now has three parents! Wizard. Shmi, in her manic attempts to return to her son and ensure they are all free and remain so, has accidentally become a pirate queen... They can work with this.
So: a pirate queen freedom fighter, a rogue Sith, a rogue Jedi, and an Anakin. The galaxy isn't ready. Sidious is seething and frantically trying train a new apprentice.
(He gets Dooku, except Qui-Gon is alive and very much Dooku's achilles heel, and will later foil Sidious' plans for his master. Jango Fett is in way over his head, good thing this Tyrannus seems to have suddenly had a chance of heart.)
The Whills are intrigued. The Jedi are totally lost, what is happening? Quinlan Vos in particular is laughing. The Shadow Council is somewhere between amused and bemused that the surprise!Sith apprentice actually turned out pretty decent, and he's helping them with their shared goal of getting rid of his master. What an unexpected win. They'll take it, the rest of the Jedi cannot know of him until then.
#going through my drafts and found this#i love this au so much#chaos family#ft.#obimaul#badass shmi#amd tiny anakin#star wars#star wars prequels#star wars au

based off this post, i present to you an au maybe 5 people will understand!
mercs/501st/rebel legion repcomm au*
*all dramatics in this au are based off of the characters and their dynamics in the series, not real world people, i feel like i have to say this because i'm a currently acting mercs officer
kal is an alor'ad, vau is the ver'alor (no really, trust me on this), and gilamar is the ruus'alor
kal has been the alor'ad for like 15 years now. nobody ever wants to run against him and the entire clan is dreading the year he retires. he never wants to retire, he's going to be trooping when he's 90
kal is ex-military (and in the mercs' military/vet group), discharged when he got shot in the ankle. he works as a substitute high school teacher, so he's mostly retired and treats the mercs as his job. he does a troop at least once a month, usually more
kal joined the mercs straight out of the military because he needed some kind of community and a hobby to keep him busy. pretty quickly he went from Military Hard Ass to Mr Rogers
he's INCREDIBLE at running cons, coordinating between multiple organizations, figuring out booth setup, managing the table schedule, and generally keeps things running very smoothly
kal and vau FUCKING HATED each other at first. they only got away with constant bickering because the alor'ad at the time was jango, who did not give a shit about the 'conflict resolution' part of his job and dumped alor'ad duties on the first person who was willing to do it as fast as possible (this was kal- jango quit the month after kal got approved)
before kal joined, vau was good friends with jango, and he's pretty pissed with him initially for quitting and leaving THIS LITTLE MOTHERFUCKER in charge, but vau didn't want the job either, so
the main reason kal and vau hate each other is that vau's dad was an air force officer (vau never enlisted because his dad wouldn't let him) and kal was army. instead of being reasonable about this, they build about 18 stratified layers of resentment
all their beef is external- they actually agree on most things related to the costuming clubs. they eventually start to bond over being annoyed by the same things, and mutually caring about their other club members. they get drinks after a small troop once and talk it out, and because they dont have Kamino And Vau Almost Killing Atin fucking up their relationship, this actually works. everybody is SHOCKED when vau runs for ver'alor the next year
vau is very happy with being ver'alor because he doesn't mind doing paperwork and merch stuff and finances (all of which kal is... pretty bad at) and he gets to be involved with all decision making, but kal does all the Social Organizing (which vau is very bad at)
mird is a fuckass little white dog that vau puts in various star wars costumes for events
alternatively mird is a doberman or shepherd breed that vau still puts in star wars costumes. i couldnt decide
vau does not talk about what he does for work. everyone is scared to ask
gilamar is the ruus'alor because it is his job to tell everyone not to breathe in bondo fumes or resin dust. this is my entire reasoning
he is actually a veterinarian, not a human doctor. everybody asks him for medical advice anyways
rav hosts most of the armor parties, she owns a ranch house (and horses), and also hosts an annual bonfire party. parja lives with her.
the clones are mostly not biologically related, but all of them for some reason or another lack family connections and have latched onto the costuming groups for that community. kal hasn't legally adopted any of them (he met them all at least as late teens/adults) but most of them refer to him as their dad/grandpa
the nulls are all masters of the craft. they have like 4+ approved kits each across the mercs, 501st, and rebel legion. jaing has the most approved kits: 2 custom mandalorians, a rotj boba (the madman), an arc lieutenant, stormtrooper, sandtrooper, imperial officer, generic jedi, darth vader- (the list continues and he has more in the works. he also is in Droid Builders)
mereel only has less approved kits than jaing, he has more if you count his joke kits. approved he has a custom mandalorian, a darth vader, a general grievous (yes this is a thing, you stand in the cloak and puppet the grievous), and a generic clone
for joke kits, he has a Bedazzled Mando, Sexy Darth Vader, Sexy Boba, a halo mashup, Male Twi'lek Hooter, Rainbow Jedi, and more
a'den specifically likes making helmets and has an entire wall of just helmets
all the nulls have lighting and mechanical parts to die for (whistling birds that actually move into place, fog machine in the jetpack, motorized and lit rangefinder, programmed voice lines activated by glove gestures, blasters with lights and sounds)
mereel also made an e-web prop
bardan joined rebel legion first with a jedi and still sometimes wears it but as soon as he found out about the mercs he made armor and didnt look back
bardan's lighting and programming game is also insane, he also likes droid building and lightsaber hilt building/programming
bardan has only done his jedi and one mando, but he's constantly helping everybody else with their armor. he's at every armor party. he's the best tailor in the whole goddamn area
zey is some kind of regional command/app team for the rebel legion (im not familiar with their command structure sorryyyy) and does not want to wear armor because it's hard to put on and rough on your body and also difficult and expensive. he's very good as a regional officer. kal only drives him a little crazy sometimes, they generally work together very well
etain is rebel legion with a custom jedi, and she's had mando armor in the works for literal years. bardan is about to kidnap her for a weekend to get it done already. she loves building blasters and helped mereel with the e-web
bardan is the clan's jor'alor (runs social media). before he joined that was vau's job. vau is ASS at social media and kept posting his dog. bardan actually would prefer to be the ru'cabur but he can't give social media control back to vau, it would be a disaster, so he's just also unofficially doing ru'cabur stuff (historian, lore expert)
at cons bardan usually runs a mandalorian history panel and includes a Mando'a Crash Course section where he gets the audience yelling phrases. he gets to nerd out to an actually interested audience for about 45 minutes, while wearing mando armor, with a power point. this is ideal for him
laseema has a twi'lek mando but prefers to handle rather than troop, she only wears her armor 2-3 times a year
i could go on but tbh if you read all of that already ily

The trouble with writing a long AU is sometimes it sparks ideas for others based off narrative choices. In this case; what would have happened if the deal between Dooku and Fett in Careless To Let It Fall had been allowed to happen.
After killing Komari, Fett encounters Dooku who offers him the job of being the progenitor and trainer of an army of clones. So good, so canon. In Careless this is expanded on as a deal where two hundred thousand men are grown and trained purely for the purpose of overthrowing the Republic Senate who are responsible for, among many things, supporting the New Mandalorian's take over of Mandalore (leading to something of a cultural genocide) and the mission to Galidraan where Dooku was given all the wrong information as part of a Death Watch trap, but Jango shot first. Obviously there are more issues than that, and Jango is in full on revenge and not thinking clearly mode, but that's the base of it. As Jango’s payment for helping the Jedi effectively overthrow the Senate (cesspool of corruption that it is) Jango will be given fifty thousand of those men to use to wipe out any Death Watch in hiding and take back Mandalore. Obviously, neither Dooku nor Jango mean to keep their end of the deal. Dooku knows Palpatine has bigger plans and will work on Jango as much as possible to make a larger army and Jango intends to just abscond with every clone when the time comes and wipe out any Jedi who come for them.
This where Careless and whatever this AU is would diverge. In Careless Qui-Gon Jinn lives, Obi-Wan goes off to do his own thing, and Fett gets aggressively mind wiped and controlled by Dooku and Sidious so that he truly becomes the major asshole we all love. There's other stuff, but that hasn't been revealed yet even though I'm at chapter 100.
In this universe, Qui-Gon would die and the Trade Federation, humiliated by how Sidious used them, would find a way to off the Chancellor of the Republic as a final fuck you. Maybe Palpatine’s death is just an accident. Either way, Sidious is out of the picture but the clones are already in production and the Senate is still a total cesspool of corruption and arrogance and greed. Without Sidious to help facilitate the plan of playing one side of a conflict against the other, Dooku has to rethink and do it fast. He rejoins the order (or stays, some agree he left before Qui-Gon died and just stopped by to visit, others think it was what caused him to leave and I am too tired and lazy to check which is correct), forms a relationship with Obi-Wan even though he doesn’t bring him into the plan because he can tell Obi doesn't have time due to Anakin’s everything, because I am trash for Grandpa Dooku stuff, and begins to quietly convince younger and more idealistic Jedi that the Senate needs an overhaul, usually approaching them after missions gone wrong, while periodically checking in on Jango and the clones.
All on Kamino appears to be going according to the revised plan, except its actually going according to Jango’s plan. Jango pulls in the trainers and spends a couple of years weeding out the ones he can't actually trust as much as he hoped while quietly adopting a few dozen clones, including many fan faves. Other trainers adopt other clones, those clones adopt brothers, they basically become a group of clans with Jango as their Mand'alor. Dooku’s Jedi come for their one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers who will help them overturn the Senate and the clones turn on the Jedi, capture them, and head off to Mandalore to take what Jango has promised them with Fett as their leader and Cody as his right hand. Predictably, Obi-Wan is sent to Mandalore to deal with the fall out while the rest of the Jedi Council try to work out what the actual fuck happened and how Dooku managed it.
In all likelihood this would result in the Jedi leaving the Republic because the fact that Dooku managed to draw a good number of them into the mess would catch attention and make things very difficult. We would probably end up with some Codywan (because this is me) but that would probably only be implied at the end rather than the focus.
But, yes, the danger of long form AUs and the ideas that narrative choices spark. Another one for the maybe some day pile.

AHEM. Dooku for 2/3 and 18, 25? Or dealer's choice? Anything you like 👀👀👀👀👀
OH HEY FRIEND :D Thank you so much!!! I answered the first two here <3 <3 but I kind of went wide with 25 so I pulled in some dealer's choice. :D Couldn't resist.
18 How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
It was so tempting to write you a Sifo-Dyas essay here. Please accept this coupon for one unhinged Sifo-Dyas manifesto, to be redeemed at a time of your choosing. <3
But today, I’m thinking about Mace and Dooku. God, there’s a part in that Shatterpoint novel where Mace obsesses over the fact that he could have killed Dooku on Geonosis - he could have gone for Dooku’s head instead of Jango’s, and how much death and suffering would he have saved? And the fact that he didn’t, he went after Jango, not because he didn’t realize the importance of that decision, but for the plain fact that he didn’t want to kill Dooku.
I think two things are so interesting here - of course, I love the way that Mace vouches so hard for Dooku in AotC, and I love all that implies about the personal relationship and respect as colleagues between them. All that it hints about Dooku's post-exit relationship with the Jedi Order.
I also think it’s interesting that the questions doesn't seem to be if Mace could kill Dooku.
Here’s the part where I just pornographically imagine the duel between Mace’s Vaapad and Dooku’s Makashi and make uncomfortable noises. Arguably the two most aggressive forms, I think that fight would be insane. Mace is 6’2/1.88m, while Dooku has a few inches on him, Mace is younger and very powerfully built, so Dooku isn’t going to get his usual default “I can just reach further than you” advantages. Also, the way Mace dominates the terrain - I’m thinking of his duel in Sidious’s office - is going to be a big problem for our Count, who thrives on space in a fight and carefully balancing Makashi’s more delicate aspects with his ability to control the environment via the Force - ie, drop pieces of the architecture on his opponents heads. Cool fucking fight, cooler what-if.
What does the Separatist movement he just started look like if Dooku is captive or martyred?
25? What was your first impression of [Dooku]? How about now?
Well, my VERY first impression of this character was quite negative. Like many fans, I was enraged to find that we were getting this character and not Sith lady concept art (who would turn out to be future Asajj). Old man Sith?! Who used to be a Jedi? NO WE HAVE OLD MAN SITH WHO USED TO BE A JEDI AT HOME.
But when I first became a Dooku maniac, I spent a lot of time working backwards trying to find the actual good person the monster used to be. What was the dramatic tipping point, how much was Qui-Gon’s death a factor, how could Dooku’s fall have been stopped or redeemed?
Now the more fascinating part to me is how an actually good person becomes a monster. To me, that’s actually started to be more interesting than my old fascination with finding some big reason. I love the almost ordinary factors in his slide toward darkness - loneliness, depression, helplessness, the unwanted child compulsive urge to impress the wrong people, plain old sunk cost fallacy. He can be a surprisingly uncommitted Sith. He chains himself to Sidious.
Someone once summed up my one true fix-it fic, “Five Days to Murder Sifo-Dyas,” as “Sifo-Dyas saves Dooku using only the power of his dick,” and while that's funny, they’re right. I really think any very simple change in Dooku’s story could have got him back on track. The fascinating fact is, it didn’t. Dooku's missed connection with his own humanity and goodness.
Talking further about impressions of the character, although maybe this gets into 6. What's something you have in common with this character? territory, is that I’ve grown up with Dooku. Getting into Dooku when I was a kid and now liking the character as an adult, I realize I relate to him fundamentally differently now vs then.
Dooku and I don’t share a lot of personality traits, and I’m nowhere near his age in the films, but now I’ve been a teacher, I know how that rewires your brain. I know what it’s like to be a whole ass adult, but still meaningfully reckoning with your own ugly origin story. And god, am I fucking worried about the end of the world. His problems feel so much more real to me now.
I think both he and Sifo-Dyas have a core trait of “oh my god, what’s happening, why doesn’t everyone else SEE this, I have to do SOMETHING” driving their characters’ actions. And while I obviously don’t agree with either of their actions, I think that’s never been more relatable to me than now in 2025.
#THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME YAP <3 <3 YOU ARE THE BEST KING#god I love this bad old man#dooku#ask game

Villains and their fear alignments
Im not doing all of them up to where I am, just the ones I can think of and the big ones.
Buggy
Probably one of the easier ones, cus of his devil fruit. Flesh
Idk I don’t have much more to say abt him other then that I love him to-… ✨pieces✨
Arlong
My favorite one to figure out bc it took some thought.
Burried:
His control over Arlong park is heavily tied to DEBT, and keeping that debt over the town and over Nami, keeping it just out of reach for her to make it cus he CAN.
Arabasta group
Only doing important and more story heavy villains/ ones I remember/ like cus y not
Jango (he might have been earlier idc) clearly and probably one of the only one related to Distortion
Mr. 2 STRANGER and I love them for it, not fully aligned, cus they want to be known and seen but the devil fruits ability works so well for it
Mr. 3 Desolation, maybe also end? I think he’s cool tho I fucked with his power set
Crocodile
Slaughter: his goal is to get access to a very powerful weapon, to have the power to become the king of the pirates. And he does this by taking over Arabasta, and sewing mistrust in the people causing a war, an unnecessary war but a WAR none the less.
Enel
Probably one of the easier ones. Vast 10000000% Vast. I mean Bro’s literally lightning for one and for two, he wants to go to the endless Vearth?!? Also I mean have you seen the earlobes on that man. Freak ass mr. Electric
Share your opinions!!!! I love this freak ass show and this stupid podcast I can’t stop thinking about two years, and 5 listens later

At some point in the time travel AU, Obi-Wan HAS to wake up from a nap, realize he can’t find Cody and Alpha for post-nap cuddles, and just climb into Jango’s lap. When Jango jokingly (cause he is force sensitive in this one so he knows how force signatures work) says ‘you know I’m not your Buir, right?’ Obi is GONNA say ‘right shape, nice ba’vodu’ and you just fucking know Jango is gonna melt like butter. This goddamn feral little brat. He’s obsessed with him.
This will also eventually happen to Jaster and Jaster adores it. He is stealing this one, thank you.
#star wars#obi wan kenobi#jango fett#time travel#my fics#remember Obi is just 13 and Jango is an adult this is not shippy material!!!!!#Obi is a baby he needs his post nap cuddles#Jango is a parent of course he’ll accept the small teen in his lap lol#jaster mereel#post-nap cuddles are actually necessary for Obi to survive 🥺#he’s just a little guy

Take Another Shot (1488 words) by depressed-sock Gift for: DpsMercy. Fandom: Star Wars Legends - All Media Types Rating: Mature Relationships: Jon Antilles/Myles the Mandalorian Characters: Myles the Mandalorian (Star Wars), Jon Antilles, Original Characters, Jango Fett Additional Tags: Bar Fight, One Night Stands, Minor Violence, Flirting, Treat Fic, Myles being very annoyed at his best friend Jango, Minor Character Death Series: Part 1 of Mandalorian's Bounty Hunter (Undercover Jedi)
...
Myles is really regretting letting Jango talk him into this.
It’ll be fun Myles! What could go wrong Myles? I’m a fucking idiot Myles, let me leave you alone here to get jumped while I sneak off with this other person.
Could be worse he guesses. Jango could be here to make the situation somehow even more worse. He shifts uneasily, blaster in hand and pointed at the small group of bastard’s pointing their own at him. It was supposed to be a calm night out. Some drinks, some betting. Maybe find someone to have some real fun with.
God, he doesn’t remember the last time he got laid.
“I’m not looking for any trouble,” he keeps his voice calm and even. Though admittedly his helmet’s vocoder is doing most of the work for him. Because right now? He’s just completely pissed off.
“Seems you’ve found it anyway,” sleazy bastard number one says. Grin stretched thin over sharp canines.
He should have just stayed in his bunk on the ship. At least it’s a warm bunk. And the only assholes around are one’s that won’t try to put extra holes in him.
“Right, let me make this more clear,” he clicks the safety off, pulling himself up in a way that makes it very fucking clear he’s a pissed off Mandalorian and not some easy mark. “Get the fuck out of my face before I put all three of you in the ground.”
The people who haven’t already scattered for cover in the bar, start to edge their way there. Most of them just regular citizens of the planet, here to drown their sorrows. Not to deal with an angry Mando and what has to be three slavers. Or pirates. Either way still stupid.
The only one who hasn’t moved is a man nursing his drink at the bar nearby. A deep hood hiding his features but clearly geared up in a way that screams bounty hunter.
Bastard number two makes to step closer, snarl curling their lips, but the smarter of the three places a hand on their chest pushing them back. Bastard number three gives him a smile that’s slimy enough that it belongs on the back end of a hut. “Not looking for trouble either. Come on boys, leave the Mando alone. I’m sure we’ll find time to catch up later.”
He’s going to strangle Jango when he finds the kriffer.
Bastard number one gives three a look that says about as much as Myles is going to let it. He doesn’t have time to deal with this now, let alone later when they’re planning to jump him. He puts a shot straight through One’s head. Ducks back as Two swings forward, completely forgetting about their own blaster in lieu of the blunt end of an axe. Which who the fuck carries around a kriffing axe anyway, and chooses that over a blaster?
Three just sighs, reaching into his vest as Two makes another swing that Myles bats away with his bracer before he gives bastard number two a Keldabe kiss so hard that it would have left their head ringing for days. If he hadn't immediately put another bolt through it.
He raises his arm, finger already on the trigger ready to down the third, when lucky number three pulls two detonators from his vest. Myles curses, backing away. The best plan he can think of is to leap out of the way and hope for the best. His armour should withstand the blast. The question is: would he survive being battered around in it.
The man that sits at the bar takes another sip of his drink. Then he moves. Faster than Myles helmet can track, the man stabs Three right through his throat, quickly catching the detonators as they fall from Three’s suddenly limp grasp.
Turning them off before they can detonate, before sliding them into a pouch on his belt.
Myles stares. The man pulls his vibro-knife free, wipes the blood off on his pants. Returns to his seat as the body hits the floor dead.
He takes another sip of his drink as if he’d barely moved at all.
And like there hadn’t been a fight to the death a moment ago, the cantina comes back to life.
“Couldn’t have just broke his neck, Antilles? Now I’ve got blood on my floor.” The bar owner complains at the man before turning and pointing a finger at Myles. “You’re paying for damages and clean up. Along with that drink I gave you before the dumbfucks tried to start something with you.” She leaves him no room to argue as she moves to the other side of the bar.
Obviously making a holo-call for a body pickup. None of these people even blink an eye at the violence.
Maybe he should stop underestimating places Jango himself likes to frequent.
He sighs, going to pick up his knocked over stool so he can sit back at his spot at the bar. Mourning his lost glass of alcohol and the inevitable bill this is all going to cost. The hooded man’s head tilts his direction. Then without a care of the bar owners anger, rises a bit to reach over the counter to grab an unbroken glass. Pouring some of his own bottle of alcohol in it and sliding it Myles way.
“Sorry about your drink.” The man’s voice is rough, and almost a touch too soft to hear.
Myles takes his helmet off, shaking out his hair of curls and gladly taking the offered drink. “Thanks,” he snorts sarcastically, before downing the glass. He sets it back down with a loud clink. “Not really how I was planning to spend the night.”
“Most people don’t.” From this angle he can see the brief smile the man gives. Scared lips quirking upwards before it’s hidden away again by his glass.
“Honestly, I really should at this point.”
“Bad luck?” the man asks with an amused huff.
“The worst kind,” Myles shakes his head, “my friends bad luck.”
Another amused huff, the man tilts his head like he’s contemplating something before he picks up his glass and bottle. Taking the stool closest to Myles and pouring them both another round. “I’m sure you’ll find some better luck soon.” He’s close enough Myles now has a better view of the man’s face. Pale, heavily scarred, bright silver eyes that almost have an eerie glow to them. A strand of black hair falls out of place before the man pushes it back under his hood.
Younger than what Myles had expected too.
“Here’s hoping.” He downs his glass of alcohol again, much to the other’s amusement.
“Hmmm,” the man hums in agreement, “Maybe sooner than you think.” The amused smile he gives Myles is really all he needs because Myles has to fuck this guy. There is literally no other option here.
At some point during cup three or four he gets dragged upstairs by the man. Proving his luck has absolutely changed for the better.
---
Jango is glaring at him from across the hanger bay like he has any right too, the kriffer.
“What?” Myles demands as he makes his way over, helmet attached to his hip clasp and probably looking way too content for how annoyed he is at Jango. He ignores the looks a few of the other’s give him. They’re all incorrigible gossips, obviously listening in for rumors to spread.
Jango raises an eyebrow at him. “You’re late.”
“And you ditched me.”
“I told you I was going to help Silas barter for supplies.” Jango rolls his eyes. “I thought you’d be headed back to the ship.”
“No, I stayed there so I could finish my drink. Only I got jumped by three stupid bastards who are now very fucking dead. Thanks so much for the help.” Myles huffs, only regretting it a bit when Jango gives him a clearly worried look.
“Who-”
“Dead. Like I said. It’s fine anyway, meet someone, spent the night with them. They also kindly payed my bar tab.” And for the damages and body removal. Which was a bonus surprise despite the disappointment of waking up alone. The bartender had looked at him with zero remorse as she’d said ‘Antilles payed it. He’s got a soft spot for people who can keep up with him.” She’d wiggled her eyebrows at him before belting out a laugh so loud it nearly shook the building.
Jango gives him a long look, like he’s seeing something Myles doesn’t. “Right.” He grins, walking close to throw his arm around Myles shoulder. Dragging him close and leading him up the ramp of the ship. “Spill.”
Myles rolls his eyes, leaning into his friend a bit. May as well tell him, it’s going to be hard enough finding Antilles.
Especially considering it’s the most common kriffing last name in the entire galaxy.

Totally the Real Jango
Have another time-travel concept:
Clones go back in time. Run into some Mandos, most probably the Haat'ade. Subsequently LIE THEIR ASSES OFF. Specifically:
Sheer, bald-faced lying that they are are Jango himself from the future, relying on the pronounced age but identical DNA to sell it.
Any questions of fact that they get wrong regarding current and recent status with the Fetts or with Jaster get explained away with 'it was decades ago,' because they look like they're fifty, and this Jango is Twelve or something.
@jebiknights offered:
I can't decide if baby Jango would be really impressed with "older him" or extremely "unimpressed." Also potential hilarity for Jango to be POSITIVE that the person couldn't possibly be him but DNA checks out and all the adults are like "nah Jango is just being a brat."
…technically this only works if there's one clone, unless the second clone is Boba or Omega, or both, posing as Themselves but selling the clone-is-actually-Jango gambit for reasons.
In my mind it's one of the clones that got scarred up enough that if one of Jango's childhood scars is missing, it's explained away with 'well half that leg is synthskin grafts anyway, so who the fuck knows when the small scar got replaced with a Big scar.'
Which is. Most of the clones that survived that long.
So much of the ploy is reliant on Boba feeding information to whichever clone this is (Wolffe or Rex, probably) about his dad in order to sell the bit, but like. IDK why he'd even be cooperating. Just that he is. For the bit. And some scheming.
Boba's already an adult if the clone in question looks fifty or sixty, which means Jango is following him and Omega around with stars in his eyes. Jango thinks future him is scary, but future kids are badass, so he's gotta figure out what kinda cool bounty hunter he can be, even if the future sounds like hell in a handbasket.
But the IMPORTANT PART is that Boba is uncomfortable as hell due to. uh. lying to his dad. and also the fact that bb Jango does not know, at all, how complex all the feelings that he and Omega and the older clone hold towards dead future Jango are.
Jaster is kind of happy/excited to see them all, but the fake future Jango is... not very friendly or familiar with him? Which he's upset by until Boba says "you died when he was fourteen, so um. I never even got to meet you? And I guess he doesn't know how to feel about it" which is a great way to lie with the truth.
I don't want Boba to be too old, but the age difference needs to make sense with how old they look. Early twenties for Boba would be mid-forties for the other clone?
And stress added a bit.
And they can drop the odd joke about how Jango 'aged well' and looks younger than he is.
(If the time-traveller clone is Rex, they are definitely being stalked by a former Jedi who is really weirdly fond of staking out in trees.)
By the time the double aging actually shows, they'll have hopefully come clean and/or skipped town (whatever their actual goal is).
