The Tragedy of the Clones
I’ve been reading a lot of fanfic recently as I’ve gotten into the Star Wars fandom and the thing I keep on getting stuck on and grieving - like legitimately grieving - is the inherent tragedy of the clones and their circumstances.
A lot of fics explore the what-ifs and emotional spectrum that the clones feel about their existence and its horrific because while some fics explore the inherent slavery of it all, some explore the idea of what the clones could have done or been after the war.
What good they could have brought or adventures they could have seen or relationships they could have been in.
And they’re snippets - something which makes it even WORSE because you KNOW that they’ll never have that and despite all hopes and dreams, all acts of compassion and loyalty, they never get that, along with the Jedi.
And they never had the option in the first place.
They were just created as a pawn on a board, a tool in a chest to be used once and discarded.
And it’s horrible.

A quick part 3 for Jedi+Tea
Clone Wars Edition
1. The droids- fondly called JT models, for lack of better name, remember every Jedi to ever pass through the Halls of the Temple. (The Temple remembers zir children too-). This includes the much adored lights that were clone troopers. Obi-Wan and the others in Nexu clan loved a tea droid yhat was only found in an entrance through the Stone Garden of Xia’thril, one of the more secluded gardens in the Room of A Thousand Fountains. The 212th is loved there too.
2. JT-F8 is a droid who lives and works in the archives. She made friends with a very young shiny who was assigned to the Corrie Guard. CT-13-2639, who chose the name Oolong, is know to sit and record all the kinds of tea the F8 remembers. Eventually, there is a squad- called T-Squad, who all spend thier time recording the traditions, tea, people, and memories of the JTs. The squad is made of Oolong, Teapot, Leaf, Brew, Ceremony, Matcha, Yerba, Meditate, Teacup, and Chip. They love the tea droids, and accidentally ended up sending clone trooper culture more in-line with Jedi Culture. So, caff is drank by natborn officers and jedi/clone “heretics” according to T squad. (In this universe it maybe sorta saves the Jedi-)
3. Clones are the best Finders in the galaxy. They seem to have this genetic disposition to sense when children who are force sensitive are nearby or need help. So, when the Jedi go on Search… they take a squad with them. It very neatly saves the Vode and makes them part of the Jedi Order, setting up for sentient rights! The other fun with this is that the Jedi Order has become much larger, and the Corps are far more celebrated.
4. T squad is made of younger troopers than most, only around 7 years old. JT-F8(fondly called Fate by most) had decided the little crew are hers now and manages to save the galaxy when Ceremony’s control chip malfunctions, sending vem into a seizure. Fate leaves her room for the first time in 300 years to get help.

The jedi archives rule II
Due to unfortunate events the rules have been updated, to go alongside this message, Master Fisto's hunt and subsequent funeral will be streamed in channel 4 of the temple at around the 17th hour of todays rotation.
(I warned you all but you didn't listen to me, now Master Fisto has to pay for his actions, may his foolishness serve as a reminder that Madam Nu is serious with her warnings)
The first part of the rules shall be uploaded here.
Please read them so you do not break any rules in a way that better be an accident.
Food is vehemently forbiden from coming near the archives, (we do NOT need another infestation)

I do NOT want any patient hiding amongs them
Like for force sake really?? Do you have any idea how hard it is to deal with an angry healer???
Knight Skywalker please keep your...meetings with Senator Amidala out of the archives
Oh please who cares if I call him out? Everyone knows, we're just being nice
Knight Skywalker, Master Vos's rule now applies to you too
Padawan Kestis and any younglings or padawans of his size, please refrain from napping inside the datapad carts
I doubt any of you will find sleeping in the old archives comfortable
And we do no need an entire legion of clones almost tearing the temple apart to find you
Disapointingly this now also aplies to anyone small enough to get inside a datapad cart
THERE ARE KRIFFING SLEEPING CHAMBERS ALREADY!!
IF YOU MANIACS WON'T EVEN USE THEM THEN WHAT IT THE POINT??!
Slimy users of the archives, I have nothing against any of you, but please, for anything that is mighty, use the designated areas for you

Blasters are now banned from the archive

Knight Offee, Padawan Tano, Master Fisto, Master Yoda-
We shall now be conducting searches in specified padawans, knights and masters (You know who you are)
What is wrong with all of you???
Off duty Temple Guards, please I must insist and remind you that you must wear bells while in the archives
If I find the fucker who scared me last night it will be on kriffing sight!
Master Yoda you are formally banned until you apologize from bringing LIVE animals for lunch
It is not permited to make the datapads float with the force
Apologies Master Sinube I understand it's comfortable but after many have damaged datapas doing this we cannot allow it anymore
We must ask any species who uses echolocation to please ask for help to guide you in the archives
We can't afford 50% of the datapads shattering again, please
It has also been brought to our attention that Knight Skywalker's datapad suffered as much if not more than Master Kenobi's did but that he managed to fix them befor ereturning them
I'm not even mad, I'm actually impressed, Knight Skywalker, if you could drop by from time to time to aid in the fixing of the datapads we would apreciate it
....Fine and in return we will allow Master Kenobi to take out datapads again
Youngling Grogu is not allowed back in the archive until he returns the things he took
Yes I know they are shiny and he liked them, but we still need all of that, may I remind you all he tried to steal the archives core??? Just cause i was shiny and ball shaped!!!
There are now snack jars in the front desk for whenever Grisser comes, please give one to him if you see him
Master Windu please remind your troopers that you are the example of what NOT to do, when taking a datapad from the archives
Again permanently banned members must NOT enter the archives
Do you really want Madam Nu to take her riffle out?
Really?
Formal protocol for when Madam Nu takes her rifle out shall be sent to your personal comms in an hour
On a last note, if you fill this rules are targeted and personal, it's because they are :)
Sincerily Master Astar
Take that Skywalker
