Bly almost, almost, got her to wear the full kit. This was the compromise…

Bly: what if we said you could paint it however you want

Aayla: I’m the general, I’d do it anyways

Bly: *rubs temples*

Image description: it's a drawing of Captain Rex from Star Wars in a semi-realistic painting style. He's standing on a white background with the sketch of a medical droid behind him. He's holding up his blaster, which has smoke coming out of it. He's frowning at the camera with a serious expression. One of his eyes has a teary shine to it. The painting is inspired by the moment in The Clone Wars when Order 66 took place. Under the original drawing is a close up of Rex's face. End of description.

Why did he throw him like he was going for a touchdown? 😭

I waited over 20 years for a Boba Fett show and I was disappointed in TBOBF. Seems like the man himself shares my disappointment. The way they've treated both TBOBF and him has been so disrespectful and I am still fuming at how they sidelined Boba in his OWN SHOW to shoehorn in a Mando plot they could have done in s3.

We Fett fans were 100% right. Disney Star Wars did Tem/Boba dirty, and it’s not right whatsoever! At this point it’s so clear that they only used Boba Fett as a catalyst to get Din and Grogu to where they wanted them for mando s3

There was a time when Boba Fett was the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy before continuing his father's legacy by becoming the new Manda'alor. Boba cleaning up the outer rim and rule through honor and respect had potential, but it's clear the people involved had no idea what to do with Boba Fett. All they had to do was literally everything here. Show Jango's past as Mandalorian, show Boba's change from cold Bounty Hunter to crime lord dispensing justice(and actually doing crime) feature his Bounty Hunter allies and rivalry with Cad Bane(hint hint use Daniel Logan in flashbacks for the cut Bounty Hunter arc) and tease the future with the Syndicate, potential confrontation with Mace and Boba potentially meeting Omega. How is it I know more about Boba Fett than Filoni?

He has a right to be pissed and not just about Boba's treatment(especially considering how much of himself and his own culture he put into the character), but Star Wars/Disney lightens the clones’ skin, that’s HIS appearance the clones are based on. Beyond disrespectful.

Boba Fett deserved better, the Clones deserves better and Temuera deserved better. Fuck Filoni and fuck Favreau.

Thank you The Mandalorian !!

Din and Grogu randomly going off to live in a cabin away from the world would be comforting if I didn’t know Dave Filoni was going to make a mando movie “that wraps up the mandoverse”

tarre vizsla from the Manda watching one of his last descendants and the darksaber he made to unite mandalorians get absolutely destroyed within the span of 2 hours

"then I will officially adopt him as my own" what the fuck have you been doing this entire time then?!?

[son-of-mandalore]

they didn’t even have him perform the Gai bal manda ritual and recite “ni kyr'tayl gai sa'ad— I know your name as my child”

[son-of-mandalore]

So they're going with the Bo Katan must rule Mandalore and throwing away the arc for Din. Ok. I never thought I'd say this but I think I've had enough. Fuck this show.

[son-of-mandalore]

I personally think it’s wild that Grogu has had more parental bonding and development with BO-KATAN this season over the father figure he just ditched the Jedi Order for.

It should also be mentioned that while sidelining Din in his own show is of course aggravating and awful, please also be aware of the erasure of Boba Fett and Temuera Morrison’s influence on Mandalorian culture. Ever since Dave Filoni stepped into star wars he has done pretty much everything he could to erase any traces of Temuera’s impact regarding mando culture.

Mandalorian culture was built from the ground up based on Temuera’s casting as Jango, his identity, and Polynesian inspiration. Even if it wasn’t always well executed at all. The fact that it was based around him and his culture matters and should’ve been elaborated upon to be better, not erased. Tem is super vocal about how particular he is about the roles he chooses and how he tries to inject his own culture into each of his characters.

People like to cite that it wasn’t DAVE’S choice to state that the Fetts weren’t mando in clone wars. But he did not have to thoroughly purge Mandalorian culture of any Polynesian influence and remake it into a blonde white colonial kingdom. In Mando Season 3 Bo-Katan’s history and the History of Mandalore was rewritten so she could be reframed as an innocent princess… at the cost of erasing Boba Fett’s identity and his heritage of Jango and Jaster as protecting rulers of Mandalore.

The total lack of care towards Boba’s character is most obvious in The Book of Boba Fett, where he was given the same sidelining treatment + ridiculous meaningless hijinks that Din is currently experiencing. Tem’s influence is even being removed from the CLONES, sidelining their importance and agency just to uplift and center around the white clones that look and sound nothing like Tem.
