Cody. As a 10 year old. Because ten year olds are occasionally like this. Has an imaginary friend he likes to talk to.

The trainers and his vod’e assume he’s using it as a sounding board to work out his plans and what to do next in missions, but in a ten year old way. His imaginary friend has a backstory and a name (that he does not say around Prime under any circumstances because Alpha doesn’t want him to get too much attention by saying Key Words around the trainers) and he talks out his problems with him.

Anyways. Colour them all fucking shocked as hell when one day Obi-Wan turns to Cody’s imaginary friend and greets him by his title of Master Vizsla and asks if he’s been doing well, these past years, since Obi-Wan rarely sees him these days…

Anyways. Cody thinks his imaginary friend should be allowed to vote. And maybe he should finally get into politics because his apparently force ghost imaginary friend knows a lot of blackmail on just about everyone. He could have fun with this.

This is the way...

The amorer is such a fascinating character to me! With the little bits we’ve gotten through the series she’s been shaped into an interesting part of Mandalore and a fun counterpart to Bo Katan. I wanted to draw how I imagine her journey in little important bits. I like to think she was amongst the Mandalorians exiled to Concordia when Satine’s new Mandalorians won the civil war. (I definitely think the tribes exist from before the clone wars, because Din had to end up in one of these to never see a Mandalorian taking their helmet off through his life as a foundling).

I know it sucks that she has banished Din, but it was their adherence to the creed what kept them alive so far, I find reasonable that she’s so harsh when it comes to it. And she still let him keep the dark saber despite not considering him a Mandalorian anymore, which I find super interesting. Emily Swallow, the actress who plays her, once said in an interview that the Armorer sees the potential that Din doesn’t see in himself.

I can only pray there’s a lot of nuance in the way they write her next xD I really don’t see her as a villain at all.

Anyway I had so much fun with this!! and it took me like...half a year to finish it cuz I’ve been so busy kajshdkaj finally it’s done!!!!!

I have a small post with my theory of where the tribe comes from here

I was being silly with my Star Wars BFF on discord about one of my favorite headcanons which is that Jaster Mereel is the proudest grandparent in recorded history and drives all the other Mand'alors in the Ka'ra absolutely nuts with his constant need to brag on his several million amazing grandchildren, and:

SOMEWHERE IN THE FORCE

Force Ghost Obi-Wan: Honestly, Mand'alor Viszla, Mand'alor Mereel, I cannot possibly express how wonderful it is to meet you both. Whatever it is you need assistance with, please know that my husband and I will be honored to help you. He should be back any moment, he was just looking in on one of his brothers--oh! Here he is now. Cody, my dear, you'll never guess who has come to tea.

Force Ghost Cody: I mean, knowing you, it's either a Jedi or a historical figure. Or possibly a historical Jedi. Did you finally get Revan to talk to you?

Force Ghosts Vizsla and Mereel: straighten up like hunting hounds catching a scent on the wind, one with delight and one with dread

Tarre Vizsla, muttering: oh sweet Manda

Jaster Mereel, vibrating with excitement: CODY?! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? WHY HAVEN'T YOU COME TO VISIT ME BEFORE??? TARRE LOOK MY COD'IKA MARRIED YOUR FAVORITE JEDI!!!!

Obi-Wan, starry-eyed: ... I'm his favorite Jedi?

Cody, side-eyeing the large Mandalorian Force Ghost currently attempting to emote HUGS in his general direction: Sir? Um.... have we.... met?

Jaster: I don't know Revan but I could take your husband to meet Canderous Ordo if you want, ad'ika! Anything for my grandchild.

Obi-Wan: *gasp* Really???

Cody, giving Obi-Wan a besotted look: It's great to meet you, Ba'buir.

I know the Doylist reason why the dark saber has the most uncomfortable hilt a sword could have is that it was designed in TCW (already a fairly blocky styled show) to be visibly and clearly Mandalorian (who are heavily influenced by cubism), but when it comes to Watsonian reasons, I’ve come up with two explanations, both of which amuse me.

1) The hilt is meant to be wrapped, which would fit its chokuto inspiration and make for some interesting symbolism, because of course the Mandalorians who stole it are literally as well figuratively using the sword wrong. Of course they didn’t do the most basic research or have failed to upkeep it, because that’s what they did for the sword’s entire legacy, strip it of its meaning to make it into a cheap power play.

2) Tarre deliberately made it that way to make it the most clearly, obviously, obnoxiously Mandalorian lightsaber in existence so no one could look at it without seeing clearly what is is and what it represents. Doesn’t matter if it’s inefficient, in this house we commit to the bit and that’s just very Mandalorian of him.

LMAO GEORGE LUCAS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF THE DARKSABER OF COURSE HE WAS, apparently originally Pre Vizsla was fighting with a regular vibroblade and George didn’t like that idea because it wouldn’t stand up against a lightsaber and so they had to redo the whole thing and CREATE THE WHOLE TARRE VIZSLA BACKSTORY ALONG WITH IT and even call Jon Favreau in to redo lines and it’s all because of George Lucas’ nerdiness that a lightsaber would beat the shit out of a vibroblade that we have everything with the Darksaber and Tarre Vizsla and all that.  Amazing.  I miss you every single day, George, you were the best kind of casually unhinged about your story.

Din: Goodnight moon

Din: Goodnight tree

Din: Goodnight ghosts only I can see

Jaster, Tarre and all the Mand'alors of old: Goodnight Din :D

[jedi-enthusiast]

Ok, I've been writing a little for my Vampire!Obi-Wan arranged marriage AU, and one thing I keep thinking about is:

Mandalore fucking stole the Darksaber.

They fucking stole it!

Tarre Visla was born a Mandalorian, yes, but he was raised and grew up as a Jedi! He even became a Knight!

Yes, we know that he had to leave the Order at some point to go help his homeworld- (since we know that he eventually became Manda'lor and Jedi can't hold positions of power) -but we know that he still must've had good relations with the Jedi and still held them in high regard because he gave them his lightsaber.

His lightsaber went to the Jedi when he died---and it had to have been willingly because nothing in canon even hints that the Jedi took it by force, when that definitely would've been something pointed out by Pre Visla in TCW or Fenn Rau in Rebels, if that was the case.

He left his lightsaber, his life, with the Jedi...

...and then Mandalorians broke into the Temple, stole his lightsaber, and then proceeded to use it and his legacy for their own selfish purposes---while also ignoring the fact that he was raised as a Jedi and the fact that he brought peace to Mandalore, rather than the war that they value so much.

Just...every time I think about it, it pisses me off.

[blackkatmagic]

Something about Tarre Vizsla being raised Jedi, fully embedded in their culture, and taking on his Mandalorian birth culture later in life, resonates so well with the clones being raised at least nominally as Mandalorians, given their trainers, and then being so thoroughly exposed to Jedi culture and beliefs once the war starts. They're both not quite fully enmeshed in the cultures around them, are their own thing compared to their closest examples, and I love the parallel of that so much.

The sequel.

See the original here.

Sidenote: This is not an invitation to diss on Satine or the New Mandalorians. Nor on the True Mandalorians, a.k.a. the Haat'ade, or the Children of the Watch. This especially is not an invitation to diss on the Jedi, either (because I see you motherfuckers in the tags/notes/reblogs) or Tarre Vizsla (and by extension, Paz Vizsla).

This is my personal "not actually all that serious" beef with Clan Vizsla and Death Watch as a whole.

The Mandalorians are a mess and I find them interesting/hilarious for that. Stop trying to turn my shitposts into imperialistic proganda. For fuck's sake.

We and the Mandalorians were wrong about the Darksaber.

The legends of this sword talk about how it's meant to unite all Mandalorians. For some, it's just a lightsaber, heirloom, fancy tool, or symbol of power. But in reality, it's something created with the use of the Force. Force is important here. If you watch Star Wars you know it exists no matter how much some characters will say they don't believe it is.

The Darksaber was never meant to be the symbol of power. It belonged to the first Mandalorian Jedi. Someone who unites two worlds that fought each other for centuries. It was the ancient Mandalorians who gave this saber a different meaning, but it was its creator and the Force that gave the Darksaber purpose.

All the bad/hating comments you can see about the Darksaber plot being useless, or wasted potential are blind to those facts. I will say it just in case, I'm not a fan of how the Darksaber ownership was carried, BUT I do see the bigger picture here.

Favroni didn't want the Darksaber to carry the brutal legacy of ruthless Mandalorians, they wanted to show the true purpose of the Darksaber, the peaceful, uniting one. And the truth is, if not for the Darksaber, all of season 3 wouldn't take place.

Let's say, Bo fights Gideon, and she gets the Darksaber. Din and her telling each other goodbye, he goes to Boba, etc, and wants to be redeemed. What now? Hypothetically:

He drowned in the Living Waters or died because of that Borg creature.

There was a war between Gideon and Bo's forces that weren't that successful because she herself never reached the full potential in that scenario.

Several members of the covert get eaten daily.

Nevarro is occupied by pirates.

Ang so on…

The Darksaber was in Din's hands for a reason, but it wasn't the reason to make him the next Mand'alor, because that is what was adopted over the years when Mandalorians tried to define their own rules of what it means to be a Mandalorian. Din got it for its real reason to unite himself and the others. To put him on a path with his fellow, lost Mandalorian Princess.

Bo and Din lived different lives. Yet, they both are Mandalorians. It is often mentioned how the two groups hate each other. We can even see the hostility on screen. There are constantly reminding us how Mandalore fell because of their own divisions. New Mandalorians, Death Watch, Maulorians, Resistance Warriors, Children of The Watch… Shattered like stars in the galaxy.

Bo-Katan was the first one to break the circle of the constant battle over the power of the Darksaber. We now know she didn't want to challenge Din Djarin for the saber, even if she knew at the stake was everything she worked for. Bo saw beyond the brutal nature of the Darksaber's legacy, beyond the tool that in its signature brought death and power. She saw a human behind it.

With that, the Darksaber lost value for her. She said herself, that she was not sure if that blade will be enough to unite them all. Bo lost all the glorification she had for that weapon. Back in season 2, she was confident that with the Darksaber she will restore Mandalore to its former glory, but now she knows the Darksaber is not special when it comes to power. Because it's people that matter.

Her refusal to take the blade, or challenge Din was a catalyst for restoring the actual way of Mandalorians. The way of unification. From now on, her and Din's life was bound by the Darksaber. Just like the first owner Tarre Vizsla was bound with Mandalorians and Jedi.

The Force will find its way, always. Even if they don't believe in it. But the blade itself rejected Din, on purpose. He never wanted it and it was not his destiny. However, because he got the blade, it triggered a chain of events that resulted in his and Bo's lives crossing together, this time for good.

At the point when it didn't matter to both Din and Bo, the Darksaber was nothing, yet it was everything. As time passed Din and Bo grew to know each other, respect, and understand. They, Mandalorians of two opposite ends, working together, spending time together, being a great team, being stronger together.

They both learn from each other what it truly means to be Mandalorian. And it's not bloody fights every night, it's not killing your own people over differences. It's the care for family, for their tradition, their legacy. It has always been the care about Mandalore and its people.

The blade united Bo and Din, which brings us to a bigger picture here.

The blade won't unite all Mandalorians. But it united Din and Bo, who now are examples for everyone else to see that despite their differences they can work together. It is the relationship that they both developed with each other that is an example for others. Their actions, and what they represent. Both of them see beyond the Darksaber, they see the value of the people behind them. They ditched the fighting nature the old way and restored the blade's true purpose, making Din and Bo the contrast of reason against years of wars that led them to this point.

TLDR; The Darksaber is now uniting Mandalorians not through power, but through real noble values that should be the core of the new age for the Mandalorians. Its (Darksaber's) conflict united two opposite souls that are now the fundament for the future of Mandalore. The weapon was never about power or death, and Bo and Din restored its former purpose even if they aren't aware of it.

[bolithesenate]

fun fact of the morning is that to me Tarre Vizsla was a cringefail jedi twink so horribly bad at jedi-ing that he did an accidental 180 and became Mand'alor

man's could not find a lightsaber crystal for his goddamn life, so much so that a mandalorian deity had to come and help out

then he crashed in someones backyard destroying half their tuber harvest when he took a wrong turn after going home from a bandomeer agricorps summit

the shame is too big so he ditches everything and becomes a weaver for a like year

only after that year does he even realize he landed himself in karking mandalorian space (the weaver he holes up at is an old lady and doesn't wear armor so he just never noticed)

meanwhile everyone back at the temple just assumed he died

over his year as weaver-apprenticing he also did odd little jobs here and there around the village. mostly helping people with paperwork and taxes and how to price grain to sell the next city over

which gets him implicitly elected like mayor of that village (mostly because no one else wants to do the paperwork)

which is how he, a failed jedi that crashed in someones backyard and just wallowed in shame ever since somehow is made to attend a city/region council as representative of that village (it is there that he realizes that wtf that's too many mandalorians for this to just be coincidence. those CANNOT all be bodyguards) (yes he had stereotypes)

still, apparently he is one of them now

(he is standing there like 🧍🏻 the only one in the room without any armor to speak)

but also definitely the only one with a single political bone in him (it was forcibly installed in him by the temple's teachers). and also the knowledge of How To Do Taxes (that and he weaves a mean rug)

which once again gets him elected representative of that council as well

so now he has to go to a House meeting in a month

(which is bad, he has a deadline on a new tapestry that needs to be done by then can't they just postpone? also what is a House and why do they have meetings)

the lady weaver who kinda just is his adoptive mom now just laughs and pats him on the head and tells him he'll figure it out. but oh maybe he should wear some armor for that one, House meetings have a tendency to get wild and many things are settled over honor duels. and the city/region he's representing sure would like for their needs to be defended.

meanwhile Tarre is panicking because the one thing he was worse at at Jedi School than actually being a jedi was lightsabering

he's decent at hand-to-hand but that was NOT worth any points in the eyes of the Battlemaster

(turns out he shouldn't have worried. 'decent at hand-to-hand' for an old republic jedi still meant 'kriffing lethal' in comparison to everyone else.)

his region's demands have never been represented better

especially since he also does know the maths to make it work in the long run.

that gets him noticed by the like son or heir or whatever of the Head of the House, who promptly makes Tarre his right hand (Tarre agreed to it either while drunk -- he is a sad drunk and JEdi aRE SupPOseD To hELP aaaaaaaa -- and was guilttripped into it OR he misunderstood the assignment to be a weaving commission)

(because, in Tarre's mind, that IS still his day job)

and so on and so forth it spirals out of control farther and farther until one day he is there helping represent the mandalorian side in a trade dispute with the republic and the other side have jedi with them (ofc) and he is one again just doing his best statue impression trying not to be noticed only he forgot that mandalorians announce themselves and their whole allegiance and lineage in front of everyone so he gets first-name-last-named by his new boss in front of his old boss and it does horrors to his nerves that much is certain

only the jedi just kinda squint and then leave it uncommented so he thinks he's safe until HIS OLD MASTER JUST TELEPORTS STRAIGHT INTO THE DINNER ROOM DEMANDING TO KNOW WHY HE WASN'T THERE FOR THE LAST TWELVE LINEAGE DINNERS

#is this about one of my many wips? yes it is #cringefail jedi tarre for thw win #i have had enough of all those edgy and cool and imposing and competent tarres out tgere #this one gets called 'my little creature' by his master and he thinks its the best nickname ever #fay calls him that because by god his genetic makeup is an affront to every biologist #they just put a good dozen species in a blender for that one and called it a day #he has so many eye problems (being part chiss part miraluka part keshian and part whatever else will do that to you) #the reason there is no surviving moniker for him is because everyone later on assumed 'Mand'alor the Weaver' was a mistranslation #and just scratched it out #but he was a weaver! it was the handiwork he learned!! he was proud of it #(his jedi master standing in the corner shaking her head like) #anyways yeah thats this #me writing #random boli thoughts #star wars #tarre vizsla
