please elaborate on the jedi and mandalorians

I am SO glad you asked I've been thinking about this a lot for awhile

basically, the mandalorians and the jedi have wayyyyy more in common than either they think or would like to believe. the venn diagram with the overlap of mandos and jedi is nearly a circle. obviously their biggest difference is that the mandalorian's first instinct is to hit back, while the jedi would prefer hitting back as a LAST resort

readmore for everyone else's sake

but they really do have so much in common. both are a highly specific cultures with imo closed communities (it's not that they don't like "outsiders" but not just anyone can be part of the group) and despite being such a small percentage of the population of the galaxy, they are both nearly instantly recognizable. they both have core principles that they cling to. they are both misunderstood by outsiders because of their closed practices and they were both massacred by the empire. they both value family. maybe the jedi wouldn't phrase it that way exactly, and the mandalorian would say something about blood bonds, but the point is that the strongest relationship were familial.

just look at any of the main mandalorian characters or the jedi. anakin and obi-wan. bo-katan and satine. din and grogu. leia and rey. familial. I'm trying to think - I believe the only romantic relationship focused on with a mandalorian was satine and obi-wan (which is fascinating for entirely different reasons I don't have time to get into)

again, they do have very different philosophies: the mandalorians are a militaristic society and the jedi value peace above all else. we all know how satine's pacifistic efforts turned out (you can't change an entire society's philosophy of the society is not willing to change).

the jedi and mandalorians are both highly skilled fighters when it comes to it and though historically tend to clash because of their opposing ideals, when they DO work together their shared outcome almost always ends in success. I like the little "a jedi and a mandalorian? they'll never see it coming" because it still hinges on the fact that the rest of society still misunderstand both cultures and take them at face value. of course the fighter and the peacekeeper will never get alone, must less fight together. but the jedi tempers the mandalorian and the mandalorian encourages the particular breed of boldness in the jedi

(off topic: my slight beef with making sabine force sensitive in the ahsoka show is because I feel like it takes away from her arc in the cartoon. she became balanced as a fighter and strategist because of kanan's influence while still being a proud mandalorian. you don't have to be force sensitive to hold jedi principles. I just feel like it takes from kanans legacy idk)

the point is that the mandalorians and the jedi have so much in common, if it weren't for the conflicting philosophies of combat / peacekeeping, they would be feared allies. they ARE feared allies, the times they've teamed up. some of the strongest fighters have been the ones that truly embodied both jedi and mandalorian principles. I can't imagine how powerful tarre vizla must have been, I don't even mean from like a strength perspective, i mean the combination of both philosophies is buckwild. and I'm not saying one philosophy is better or worse than the other. the mandalorians survived so long against the empire because of their relentless refusal to submit. palpatine knew he had to ambush the jedi and wipe them out if he wanted a chance for the empire to succeed. peacekeepers first. that doesn't necessarily mean they don't fight, because we know they do. when you're already at war, you fight against tyranny. the only way he beat the mandalorians and the jedi is by just. wiping them out with an onslaught neither could escape or prevent.

anyway it makes you wonder how many mandalorians are/were force sensitive and just did not go to the temple (take THAT babysnatchers jedi theorists) because you can't tell me there were NO other force sensitive mandalorians before or after tarre vizla. my beef with f-s sabine regardless its fun to see one of those late bloomer jedi stories in canon star wars the way we used to have in legends and I would like it if we got more of that.

[physically restraining myself from going off on that topic]

anyway. mandalorians. jedi. I love them both so so much. they mean so much to me. I don't know if this made any sense but it makes sense to me

@exnusquam replied to your post “How would you feel if you ever get pregnant,...”:

"It's me, I'm the interdimensional babysnatcher." <- Full of shit

​

"I ask for parlay on behalf of the babies of tortured souls." He mostly means Volo. "they've had enough. do it to like, the sad rich guys or something-" Still joking, but also sincere-

Legends Luke: Oh so you let Din take Grogu whenever he requested and let Grogu learn the mandalorian way as well as helped teach him how to weild the force right? We’re literally fighting remnants of the empire about now there’s no point in forcing ultimatums, you did do that right?

Disney Luke:

let’s hear it for babysnatcher luke discourse round 900 folks!

[lamaenthel]

I saw your tags about Karen Travis, is that why people don’t like her?

yeah she's uhhhhhhhhhhh i'll try to say this nicely but she legitimately thinks that the Jedi were a bunch of superpowered fascist babysnatchers who thought their powers gave them inherent superiority over other sentient beings. she portrayed them in her repcomm novel series as incompetent clowns who were actively complicit in enslaving the clones and deserved order 66 as comeuppance. also any poor sap who thinks the Jedi were good is actually engaging in nazi groupthink and they need to take a long look at their lives

i do enjoy the characters and stories that she created and i think she did great with making up a whole ass language that's genuinely easy to learn and expand upon, but she definitely missed the boat on the Jedi completely

Thinking about my beloved babysnatching freak again 😔👊

[sentimentalslut]

babysnatching au certainly made my brain go brr right up until i ran out of drugs and my brain melted

listen my aim is to capture the absolute bullshittery these idiots are capable of with your level of eloquence and dedication

[luxuryjones]

Your face. Carlos.... how can be? You were more than more than a dog, you were a person. An entity. An Oracle. LOOK AT HIS FACE!!!! He is giving his opinion, he is communicating is an obvious way with facial expressions. Not to mention the sheer atom bomb exploding in your brain face melting level of cuteness!!!! How were you real? How were you mine? Why did they take you away? To do all 3 of things. Make you the brilliant, expressive, individual, creative, wise intimate side kick and spiritual advisor, but then also make you actually freakishly good looking, AND in the tiniest package possible, and then take you away from me after 14 years!?? If they had eliminated or toned down one or more of those qualities, MAYBE this would be somewhat/slightly more reasonable & along the lines of “the nature of lifecycle” crap. But to create the perfect creature. PERFECT I TELL YOU!! He never did anything annoying or ill mannered or in bad taste. PERFECT! And then snatched away.... it ain’t right. And I don’t think I will ever be n my lifetime stop writing strongly worded letters to whom it may concern about this atrocity. Stocking up on envelopes & stamps rn. Enough to last until the dementia kicks in 💔🐾✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ #CARLOS #bringmybabyback #babysnatchers #illigalheartbreaking (at Who's in Charge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B67ZK_iF9qm/?igshid=r2r59j7vlvkz

How would you feel if you ever get pregnant, Felix?

"I'm guessing that I would probably feel pregnant. Depends on the time and place, I have options." Too vague, anon. He could guess what direction of question that you're actually trying to ask, but he won't. "probably keep it or abort it. unless there's some interdimensional babysnatcher out there to make it schrodinger's cat, I think it's just a typical pregnancy. I feel like you should probably go listen to some women and pregnant people if you can't fathom it."

this new trailer is thee trailer for me. the first one made me hesitant about the movie but this 2nd one fucks. let's go.
