Luke meditating with Grogu: "Take a deep breath and focus, little one. Feel the Force surround you and feel it deep within yourself. The Force is what binds together everything in this universe, and is what connects us to everything in turn — from the tadpoles swimming in the ponds around us, to the trillions of stars burning brightly in the night sky. The Force is life itself on the grandest and most minute of scales, and while its true nature will always remain out of our reach, the Force is with us just the same. So remember, though there will be times you will feel alone and afraid, so long as the twin suns will rise on Tatooine and the breeze will whisper through the bamboo forests on Ossus, the Force will always be with you, Grogu."
literally all that din hears: "SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG-"

I was looking through some old google doc files, and came across this government structure I had created of the Mandalore post-Empire, for an AU I was working on at the time.
Basically Din in this AU had given the darksaber back to Luke when he went to give the gift to Grogu in TBOBF, because he had discovered that it originally was protected by the Jedi and that Vizla had stolen it from the Temple, basically saying “My Ancestor gave it to the Jedi, and now I’m here to do the same”.
I mean, this was actually a really small part of the AU, but it was fun to create, so if anyone is curious here it is:
There are two Governors on the planet
They are chosen with an election, and are voted by only the citizen of age.
Their tenure lasts ten years.
But if the Assembly does not like one or both of them, with a unanimous vote they can take away their position of power.
The Assembly is formed by eighteen elements, and with the Governors they are twenty
Their tenure lasts twenty years.
A lot of the members are from the historical families of Mandalore, or at least the few that survived, but there are also members elected from less famous other clans
To be part of the Assembly you must be at least 25 years old and maximum 60. Obviously the non-human species that have different life spans will have different rules, with their years who can equate to the human ones.
The Council is made up of six elders with tenure for life.
To be part of it you need to be at least 60 years old.
The members are chosen by the Assembly through a vote.
Often they are former members of the Assembly, who cannot be re-elected there, and so they are given this position.
There are cases in which some were elected even if they never held political tenure, but they are rare.
The Council doesn’t actually have political power, they are there just to give advice to the Governors and the Assembly.
They can suggest reforms or make proposals, but their vote on them is not valid, only the Assembly can decide.
It’s more of an honorary position than anything else.
Then there are the Mandalorian citizens.
To be considered of age, and have the right to vote, you have to complete the Verd’goten and/or follow the Resol’nare.
All of it depends on when the citizen became a Mandalorian, if they were a child or already an adult.
It’s their role to vote for the members of the Assembly and for the Governors, but not for the Council.
They can also make requests in front of the Assembly.
