aha im finally going to type this up properly. Here is the Dinluke au! that includes the sequel characters as kids! (its basically Din and Grogu fix everything)

So, Luke has his jedi school on Yavin IV and it’s coincidentally quite close to Mandalore. (i still don’t necessarily understand what is and isn’t outer rim territory so like...bear with me here). And we have the basic setup of Din travelling between the two planets to visit Grogu and establish Mandalore and on the way he falls for Luke and so on.

Mand’alor Din travels quite a lot to establish trading and treaties with other planets. Along the way he ends up going to Jakku, and finding lil force sensitive Rey. She’s hesitant to leave with him, but he knows what it’s like to hope for parents to come back. He promises her that he knows someone in Jakku, and that if anyone comes by looking for her, to send them to him. and after maybe a bit more convincing, she agrees to train with Luke.

It’s not all peace treaties with Din though, and i imagine he still does some bounties or maybe he has to help run Imperials out of a town. After the battle, he opens a room that has a bunch of kids. They were taken from a nearby town, their parents all slaughtered. Din takes them in as foundlings and it isn’t until weeks later as he’s with some of them, does he realize one of the children, one who calls himself Finn, is actually force sensitive. He also goes to start training with Luke.

Yavin IV isn’t just a Jedi school. As far as I know it has actual towns? Or at least homes. It’s where Shara Bey and Kes Dameron reside, along with their son, Poe! The jedi school isn’t close to any of the homes, but lil Poe still manages to “sneak” into it. Luke knows full well that the kid watches in on lessons, but he lets him be. He brings it up to Din when they’re making dinner, and the mandalorian decides to teach him some things. This gets popular as it goes around the school and more kids decide to join in until Din also gets his own class to teach. Poe makes friends easily with Rey, Finn, and Grogu, and they get into trouble a lot.

Now it comes to Ben. I kinda debated putting him in this au but since he’s a child, i decided he deserved a chance. He feels like an outsider in the school, with his mom being a senator and his uncles being the teachers. But that’s how he gets close to Grogu. They have something in common that allows them to connect and i think that before the other three joined, it was mainly just them playing around and being friends, especially at family get togethers.

When the other kids showed up, he distanced himself from Grogu. He got really jealous and almost quietly possessive and decided to retreat into himself. it didn’t help that he had this voice in his head that was making his everything worse. Grogu wasn’t having any of it though. He didn’t really understand why Ben kept trying to pull himself away and he talks to Luke about it. Luke, who does understand, starts to have actual conversations with Ben about what’s going on and Ben opens up to him about the voice, and the other bad stuff going on in his mind. They both decide to work together to figure this out.

In turn, i think Ben starts accepting the other three more. Actually hanging out with them and Grogu. They absolutely become the troublemaker crew and would be the bane of Luke’s existence if he wasn’t so fond of them all. I’d like to think that with actual support from his friends and family, that voice that tempts him to the dark side slowly quiets, especially since he knows now how to overcome dark emotions like jealousy and anger. (yes i did write three paragraphs about Ben that just means “please let this kid get therapy”)

this is long but i’m not done yet im sorry.

I don’t know how old these kids are. I’m thinking like 8-11? Finn being 8 and Poe being 11? fuck canon age gaps idc.

anyway, this all started because i fell in love with retired dinluke so we gonna skip a lot of years in which Din is no longer Mand’alor. He probably passed it off to someone else. not any of the kids though.

Luke’s students are all off on their own adventures. Some became Jedis and have their own students, some aren’t Jedi and are just doing their own thing, and who knows, maybe some swore to the Mandalorian creed. Regardless, Luke and Din are both content with the world. They get to have their happy peace after years and years of doing what the world demanded of them, even if they did it willingly. Luke’s students still come and visit. The troublesome five have been off into the world (maybe resolving some palpatine shit idk), but they like coming home and causing trouble for old time’s sake. Din and Luke don’t mind, that’s just what comes with being in the Skywalker family.

yeah so thats my little fix it au in which Din and Luke falling in love saves everything so the sequels never happened. if y’all wanna add something or talk about it with me please do! i know this was a lot to read but i appreciate it!
