#Dr. Pershing

[the-marshals-wife]

The New Republic really out here stripping people of their identities and reducing them to literal numbers in the name of preserving peace and order JUST LIKE THE EMPIRE DID TO THE CLONES

Dude I know we're here for Mando and Grogu funtimes, but you can't be sleeping on these parallels

[mando-abs]

I’m tellin yall

Bo Katan is going to betray Din for the throne

If the betrayal of Elia Kane wasn’t enough foreshadowing for you, Bo staring at the Mythosaur piece at the end of S3E4 is.

What really caught my attention to this theory (besides her looking at the mythosaur wall fixture) was the juxtaposition of the zoom in on her face at the end of Episode 3 with the final zoom on Elia Kane. Bo is being really nice to Din lately, enough so that people are spreading romance rumors (of which I am not touching on bc that’s shipping related). They are building the Mandalorian unspoken reliance that is tradition and clearly on display in Episode 4. This trust building is similar to what Dr. Pershing and Elia had.

Much like Dr. Pershing and Elia, Din and Bo are pursuing calls to action they feel in their mind is the right thing to do. Din (like Pershing) is taking on the Mand’alor title for the “greater good” of his people despite his reservations. Bo believes (or at least has believed in recent past) that the darksaber belongs to her and her family. She has yet to redeem and prove herself in front of her people. Is it selfish? Yeah. But as long as her people are prosperous, no harm no foul. I don’t think she’s against the possibility of stepping on Din’s toes if her gaining the darksaber brings balance to the Mandalorians.

The only comparison to Elia I’m not 100% with for Bo is severely injuring or attempting to kill Din. I don’t think she’s that malicious (definitely not fascist evil). In fact, I’m not even sure if Bo Katan really knows that she’s gonna try to battle the darksaber from Din just yet. I don’t think this is some master plan that she’s been stewing on. If so, then we haven’t gotten a lot of evidence to support that. It’s only been after seeing the mythosaur with her own eyes and understanding the Legend surrounding it does she start getting the illusions of grandeur of becoming Mand’alor once more.

But what about Paz? Excellent point.

We kinda already saw that? I mean obviously Paz and the rest of the Vizsla clan have some serious hang-ups. But Paz already tried and failed to duel the darksaber into his hands. Paz isn’t an idiot. He knows when to quit, when he’s ahead, and when to trust others (however begrudgingly). Bo does not. She must put the weight of Mandalore on her shoulders and she will forgive and try again until she dies. She may enlist help, but she is always the leader. And that’s why she’s gonna try to win the darksaber from Din

Bonus point: In one of the dozens of Mandalorian Season 3 interviews I watched, Pedro Pascal said that he “trusts Bo with [his] life.” And personally, since he keep the reveal of Grogu and return of Luke a secret from EVERYONE, I don’t trust the lil shit (affectionate). I think he said that because it was the opposite and he thinks it’s funny.

Greetings, Disheartened Living Imperials! 👋

Do you feel like you’re not living up to your full potential under the so-called “New Republic”? 😔

Do you feel dehumanized by their so-called “Amnesty Program” as if you’re living in some kind of dystopian youth novel? 🤔

Do you miss eating rations biscuits which are now illegal? 🍪

If you answered yes to any of these questions, summoning a Vengeful Imperial Ghost (TM) is exactly what you need! 👻👍

For a very reasonable fee of 50 spirit credits (which costs you 0 living credits) we will drag down a New Republic citizen into the depths of the afterlife after tormenting them with timeless classics like leaving ominous messages in red paint on refresher mirrors and making arbitrary objects float in their house! After this is complete, we will leave a care package of rations biscuits at your doorstep in any color of your choosing. (Yes, we have yellow!)

But wait! If you summon a Vengeful Imperial Ghost (TM) within the next 3 full moons on Mustafar, we’ll drag a second New Republic citizen into the afterlife for no additional charge!!

So, what are you waiting for? Summon your Vengeful Imperial Ghost (TM) today!

For a free consultation, say “Iron Max” three times in your nearest reflective surface. 🪞

(Disclaimer: The Imperial afterlife does not take any responsibility for interdimensional rifts or extraneous paranormal events which may occur as a side effect of the haunting. Additional charges may apply. Haunting hours are subject to change based on holidays recognized by the Imperial calendar. Summoning Imperial ghosts has been associated with rare side effects such as headache, rash, fever, dizziness, hallucinations of MSE Droids, nausea, cough, increased cravings for caf, and an impending sense of doom. Adverse reactions may occur if you have consumed alcohol or visited a beach within 12 hours of séance.)

I also made hoodies. Someday I will finish this fic I’m almost probably done with but the brain gremlins want to make silly t-shirts. You can get a silly t-shirt here.

I had a conversation with my friend and I thought of this

Amnesty Chaos Pt. 1

Elia- “Doc what the fuck are you doing?-“

Penn, literally trying to cut cooked broccoli with a plastic spoon- “I don’t knOw 😭”

Elia- “Maker, you’re mental”

Penn- “Basically”

M40, walking in on this shit- “I… Nevermind bye”

Elia- “TAKE ME WITH YOU.”

M40- “You’re on your own G68! Cya!”

There were some mixed fan emotions on this one but I think it’ll come back to haunt us…
