also i cant be the only one annoyed there was a world beloved hero played by a man of color - a new star wars hero that rivaled the popularity of luke leia and han... and they pushed him aside for a "princess" (terrorist) white lady with absolutely no respect at all

#those showrunners can eat my ass they LOVELOVELOVE TO PRETEND THEYRE LATINO ACTUALLY but cant be fucked to learn their family’s own language#theyre making a show to represent latinos ❤️ with the only lines in spanish in the intro being grammatically incoherent ❤️#and one of the character’s name literally meaning vagina (AND penis! Such a meaningful word) ❤️ like that stuff is in la RAE bro#if your show for latinos would need to change a characters name for the latin spanish dub like theyre huey dewey and louie-#-because itd be actively offensive to multiple regions then maybe its not for latinos!#if no one in your crew caught those mistakes then its probably not made BY latinos either right#but you knew that dont you? No show runner gets on instagram to ‘clap back’ to the people correcting you by saying that#actually the language we speak isnt even ours and it was enforced on us by the colonizers so really its anti-latino to defend it#Theres no way you can speak such disgusting shit like that and not be self aware right?#The show isnt for latinos its for white people whove never set foot in latam and refuse to learn the language of their grandparents#who LOVE to slap that label on themselves to feel special and oppressed#que coman mierda todo ellos#aquellos que se burlarían cruelmente de un latino hablando con acento y solo hablar de como la inmigración y los mariguanos-#-se están robando sus empleos o yo no sé que mierdas#Me dan ganas de ranchar pensar que disney mando a hacer un programa solo para aquellos hijueputas#en vez de para los niños que viven en latinoamerica#Ooh but look guys heres a latina princess isnt she lovely?

Whatever Happened to Morals, Disney?
There’s something that’s bothering me about the Disney studios’ productions these days.
I know, what they produce is not meant to be realistic. Their stories are set in parallel universes where strange stuff can happen and natural rules often don’t apply.
But what about the rules of morality? Disney used to be so conservative and their productions so naïve and sugar-coated there sometimes was hardly any bearing it.
I realize that stories taking place in the Star Wars or Marvel universe can’t all be sunshine and roses. Even Disney fairy tales aren’t.
But sometimes I wonder whether the children watching this stuff are aware of the implications. Are these examples to set before their eyes? Is it right to portray someone as the hero of a story and then let him do stuff that is dubious at best? Or to have what he does be interpreted in a dubious way?
Moon Knight
In Episode 3, Layla kills Morgart’s man, who is attacking her with a knife, with her crescent-shaped necklace.
Yes, I realize she was defending herself, but why in such a gruesome way? What’s worse, she seemed to enjoy what she was doing. Is she used to killing people? Why wasn’t she the least appalled by her own brutality?
In Episode 5, we learn how Marc accidentally caused his brother Randall’s death. Steven soothes his guilt by saying, “You were just a kid.”
That Marc was just a kid shouldn’t be the point, the point was that he didn’t cause or let anything happen on purpose, the way his cruel mother claimed.
Kids will be kids; they often can’t estimate dangerous situations well. Yes, that’s right.
But then, adults often are bad at it too. And children need to learn to be responsible as early as possible. You don’t automatically learn to estimate a situation better just because you’re physically a grown-up. “But he’s just a kid” is no excuse for doing something wrong. This is no guideline for educating a child.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Overall, it is irritating how “order” is automatically interpreted as “control” (not to say violence and fascism) in the SW universe.
If everybody had their own way, the world would plunge into chaos. We saw how the galaxy looked like at the height of the Jedi’s power in the prequels. Different rules applied everywhere and everybody had their own agenda.
Yes, I realize bureaucracy is boring and often leads to nothing. And no one wants to have their every step controlled. But a world with rules and laws is not the same as tyranny. It’s not enough to rely on everybody’s good heart, people also need to be told what they shouldn’t do.
Fascism is in essence hatred against everything that’s different. Do’s and don’ts are not the same. “Order” ought not to be some kind of bogeyman to scare children.
In a normal society, if you do something that you ought not to do you will be reprimanded, have to pay a fine or to make amends somehow. At worst, you will have to go to jail. Despotism will punish you harshly or even kill you for the slightest transgression. You can't equal law and order with despotism, but this is the message that is conveyed.
Obi-Wan to Leia: “You’re ten years old. But you won’t always be.” Same as above. So it is all right for a person to use weapons that could kill, because she’s a grown-up?
Handling a weapon is not the point. The point is having the moral attitude sufficient to know when you might need to defend yourself or others. This is not something you automatically learn by growing up. It requires wisdom and insight, not a weapon in your hand or a certain age.
Queen Breha is happy about the holster that her ten-year-old daughter is carrying as a part of her outfit now? The queen of a notoriously peaceful planet with no weapons? Apart from the very dubious attitude of a mother who likes to see her daughter getting used to carrying a weapon from age ten, it doesn’t make the least sense in canon.
The Mandalorian
“I’m a Mandalorian, weapons are part of my religion.”
Not a good lesson from a film studio residing in a country that has a huge gun problem. Weapons ought not to be part of anyone’s religion, even if you are an adult and have learned how to use them. No one ought to have any tool at hand with which they can take life. Mando’s entire life is based on violence. His childhood was destroyed through violence. I realize defending yourself might be necessary, but being always ready to wound and kill people? No. This is not a good role model. You are not automatically a hero and a good person because you carry a cute green kid by your side.
In Episode 7 of season II, we learn what pushed Migs Mayfield to his criminal life. He kills his former commanding officer he and Mando were talking to in the Imperial mess: this is nothing but public lynch justice, even if his motivation is understandable. And Mayfield gets his freedom as a reward for it.
In Episode 8 of season II Mando cruelly snaps a stormtrooper’s neck on his rescue mission for his son. Yes, I get it that he did it to save the child, but nevertheless it was cruel and unnecessary. The man was only on his duty. There was no reason for such a horrific behavior.
And this is all the worse since the sequel trilogy tried to humanize stormtroopers introducing Finn. Until now, he’s unfortunately an exception. All others are cannon fodder.
The Book of Boba Fett
Episode 5: the very first thing we ever see Mando doing with the Darksaber is a cruel, unnecessary killing on an unarmed man; he slices him in half although he was just lying there defenselessly. This is taken to absurdum later in the same episode, when he is told that he must now “amend” for having shown his face to someone. His motivation for doing so is not even questioned. The ruthless killer has become an apostate because he had to show his face on a mission to save his adopted child.
When Anakin Skywalker massacred the Tusken after his mother’s murder, and when he betrayed the Jedi and broke into their temple to kill them, fallen to the Dark Side out of his fear of losing his wife, this was clearly coded as morally wrong. Anakin knew what he was doing, and went for it anyway.
Mando is obviously suffering after the loss of Grogu, respectively afraid of losing him. His cruelty comes from the same source. But for unknown reasons, in his case this behavior is shown sympathetically to the audience instead of being clearly shown as something wrong. Mando himself obviously has no qualms and no idea where his attitude comes from. Nor does he question the absurdity of having been banned from the creed he adhered to since he was a young teenager, often risking life and limb for the others, despite the fact that he is officially their leader now.
Later, as he takes his new N1-starfighter for a test flight, Mando commits a traffic violation which he escapes by flying out of sight. The incident is played for laughs since the officers on duty agree that they don’t want to go back to their bureaus to fill in a lot of boring paperwork.
It’s not funny. If someone commits a traffic violation he ought to take responsibility for it. “Order” is not only interpreted as tyranny here, but also as boring and useless. Where would the world be if there were no rules at all to go by? I just hope Mando doesn’t get used to it.
Luca
While “Silenzio Bruno” sounds like wise advice, running downhill with a malfunctioning bike over a cliff isn’t. People have suffered accidents that tied them to a wheelchair for life trying stunts like these. And these are two children. They don’t know the dangers and go for it anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite the disaster that is The Rise of Skywalker, I have accepted that Ben Solo could not survive, let alone be happy, since he’s a patricide and former Supreme Leader of the First Order. But considering all of the above, I’m having doubts.
Why are such things portrayed as being all right, or even displayed for laughs, while the portrayal of the last of the Skywalker family is still so shady, and so little is know about his background and his motivations that many viewers still see him as a “fascist” when he wasn’t? Why didn’t he get a second chance, when ruthless murderers and lynchers get it – in the same universe?

pedro characters + halloween couples costumes
ft: Joel Miller, Din Djarin, Agent Whiskey, Marcus Pike, Marcus Moreno, Max Phillips, Frankie Morales, Max Lord, Javier Pena, Javier Gutierrez, and Dieter Bravo
Tumblr media
Joel Miller - This man does NOT want to do couples costumes but with you and Sarah begging him he caves in pretty quick. Though he'll be sure to grumble about it every damn day before Halloween. Okay lets ignore the outbreak and say it never happened. With that being said. The Addams family. You and Joel as Moritica and Gomez adams like come ON. And Sarah as Wednesday. Killer costumes
Din Djarin - Idk why but I could totally see you, Mando, and Grogu going as the tin man, Dorothy and either toto or the lion. Like Mando is obvi the tin man because we call him that anyways and how cute would you and grogu be as dorothy and toto or the lion.
Agent Whiskey - 100% without a doubt you would go as Jessie and Woody from Toy Story. Whiskey is as cowboy as it gets sooooo. Plus it would be so cute to see him all dressed like woody.
Marcus Pike - idk why but I feel like Marcus is really good at Halloween costumes but for some reason. I could see the two of you go as Orpheus and Eurydice. I really can't explain why but I know the two of you would KILL those costumes.
Marcus Moreno - I meannnn he's already a superhero so I think that You, Marcus, and Missy could be the Incredibles with Marcus being Mr. Incredible and you elastigirl with Missy being Violet .
Max Phillips - Max goes as a vampire every year because he says hes got a built in costume right here so why change what's working. So you kinda have to adjust around him. So how funny would it be if you show up to the office Halloween party as a vampire or monster slayer like Van Helsing or Buffy
Frankie Morales - I feel like Frankie would do the more cute couples costumes with you. So something from a Disney movie would be adorable. Like Rapunzel and Flynn or Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Max Lord - I feel like Max and Alistair really love Halloween and have good costumes so with you in the mix I could sooo see the three of you being whatever Alistair's obsession is that year. So a crew of Pirates or astronauts or cowboys. Its always fun and always matching.
Javier Pena - I don't think Pena really does Halloween so he does not go all out. He'll usually wear whatever you tell him to as long as its not too much effort and not embarrassing. Tbh I could see the two of you going as like Batman and Catwoman but he goes as Bruce Wayne or something.
Javi Gutierrez - Javi 100% will go all out with you every year. Whatever you want he's 100% down for. But I think the best costume for the two of you is Barbie and Ken. Tell me Javi doesn't radiate Kenergy. He would wear all the bright colors to match and it would be perfect.
Dieter Bravo - idk why but I feel like Dieter would be down to do famous movie couples like Jack and Rose or Han and Leia. Westley and Buttercup from Princess Bride, Sandy and Danny, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. All of them.

The Happiest Place On Earth
Tumblr media
Request: “Hi can I request a one shot where reader and Pedro Pascal have a daughter named Esmeralda? They go to Disney for the first time, they dress her up in a Grogu costume and go visit the Mando and everybody go crazy to see Pedro and his daughter.”
Pedro Pascal x Reader
Summary: follows the request above, I also made reader pregnant. Lots of fluff. Esmeralda’s age wasn’t specified so I made her like 4/5?
Word Count: 2k
Warnings: pregnancy, suggests smut but no actual smut.
Packing the last of the necessary items you’ll need for the day ahead in your backpack, you zip up the bag and readily set it by the front door of your room. Esmeralda had specifically requested that daddy book her in the fairytale suite so she could get her beauty rest like a real princess and being wrapped around her tiny finger Pedro went online later that day to book said room. The room your growing family of three is currently getting ready in. Cressessing your small bump you cross the room approaching your struggling husband who’s trying to fight your five year old into putting sunscreen on.
“NO DADDY!” She screeches, resisting his best efforts to apply the cream to her face and ears. 
“Princesa please, the quicker we finish this up the sooner we can leave and check out all the cool stuff.” He attempts to reason with her. Stubborn times such as this one remind you exactly how alike you both are, your living breathing karma of what you put your own parents through. You decide to throw Pedro a bone and come to his long awaited rescue. You fake gasp obnoxiously loud to catch your daughters attention;
“Oh. My. Gosh. Guess who I just found out is here?!” You ask Esmeralda dramatically, squatting eye level with her. Pedro laughs and moves over to make room for you next to him.
“Who?!” She asks, eyes widening in excitement.
“Grogu and Mando!!” You exclaim jumping up and bouncing around. Esmeralda screams at the information and launches herself forward tacking Pedro with a huff.
“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US DADDY!!!!”
“Careful,” You playfully chastise her. “Daddy’s getting old can’t be as rough with him or he’ll break on us.” You joke causing Esmeralda to throw her head back and fall over sideways exaggeratedly in a fit of laughter.
“I was gonna say sorry and give you your surprise mi hija but not if you two meanies are ganging up on me!” He pouts.
“Aw I’m sorry baby.” You coo, coming up to him to cup his face and kissing the patchy bald spot you love oh so much on his scruffy jaw.
“I promise to make you feel better later.” You whisper low enough for his ears only. Pedro closes his eyes and groans at your hidden meaning before standing to his full height and making his way over to his bag to dig for Esmeralda’s surprise. When he returns she’s waiting patiently trying to get a peak at plastic wrapped, outfit? tucked behind his back.
“IT’S A GROGU COSTUME!!!!!—“
“Wowww, inside voice please! I know it’s very exciting hun but there’s other people in the building.-“ He leans forward swooping Esmeralda up in his arms so she could further inspect the outfit.
“Sorry, daddy.”
“Thank you for apologising hun, it’s alright.” God he’s so patient and caring with her. Every time you witness this paternal side of Pedro feels like a gift. You really are the luckiest woman in the world blessed with the most loving, doting husband who excels at fatherhood beyond your wildest dreams and taking to it like a fish to water. This is it. Everything you’ve ever wished for is currently giggling to each other while dressing in the adorable costume. Your beautiful family, that soon but not nearly soon enough your baby boy will be joining.
“What do you think mommy, am I pretty?” Esmeralda asks, twirling around in a circle on one foot then posing with her hands on her hips. The large floppy green ears bounce and swing with every movement, she’s drowning in the baggy brown fabric of the robe, her bright pink converse sneakers peeking out from underneath, and wears a smile that says she’s never been happier.
“I think you look gorgeous baby, right daddy?” You ask teasingly, trying but ultimately failing to hold back a smirk. He crosses his arms and huffs. He’ll get you back for all your teasing later.
“Si te ves muy hermosa hija.” Pedro confirms smiling.
***
You follow and observe from behind while pushing Esmeralda’s wagon stroller as she leads your husband hand in hand through the bustling crowds towards the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attractions.
“Where would you like to go first, sweet girl?” Pedro asks, drawing Esmeralda’s wandering gaze to himself.
“I wanna make a lightsaber!!” She exclaims jumping up and down, her big ears slapping her face as she does causing both you and Pedro to laugh.
“Of course, let’s go head over there to… Black Spire Outpost.” He says pointing at the entrance of the workshop.
While Pedro pays for Esmeralda to do the activity you stand with your daughter admiring the beautifully staged rock cavern you're in. You’ve always loved and appreciated the Star Wars universe and its beauty. So many people and stories to explore within it that could continue going on infinitely. A warmth blossoms in your chest thinking about Pedro getting to be a part of that. He’d introduced everyone to a new character and without facial expression, only body language and tone of voice showed us the many layers and personality of The Mandalorian, Din Djarin. You are so insanely proud of him.
A kiss on your cheek and a hand drawing small circles on your belly brings you back to the present.
“Ok we’re all set, vamos!” Pedro announces giddily to which is met by loud cheers from your daughter.
The group you're with is small, usually that’s a positive but at the moment with such few faces amongst everyone to look at, your husbands very pretty and recognizable one is just that, more recognizable. You meet one of Savi’s Gatherers outside his workshop and Esmeralda chooses between four different hilts to build her lightsaber with, all having a different theme. Peace and Justice. Power and Control. Element Nature. Protection Defence. After hard consideration she diligently comes to the conclusion of choosing the Element Nature hilt which embodies the force, but mainly because she thought it was the coolest looking.
Next for the activity Esmeralda gets to choose a Kyber crystal, picking between red, blue, green and violet she confidently swipes the violet crystal.
“Now we get to put it together mommy!” She says smiling up at you with her crystal on display then runs to assemble the lightsaber with the help of her father. The process of putting everything together thankfully didn’t take long and in no time Esmeralda was wielding a blade of her own. By now you could feel the stares from those around you multiplying and you grab Pedro’s hand to signal his attention;
“Baby I think people are starting to notice who you are.” You speak quietly into his ear, playing it off like a playful kiss. He glances around inconspicuously and realises you’re right.
“Hey princesa, how ‘bout we go find some snacks, daddy’s getting hungry. Sound good babe?” He turns his head patiently waiting for confirmation from you. You peck his lips and respond with a, sounds good, and move to start making your way to the cantina cafe.
***
“Hi! could I get three small blue milks.. two roasted pork wrap Ronto Roasters and.. one grilled sausage, please!” You smile up at the cashier, she confirms your order and you tap your card on the scanner to pay then move closer to your family while you wait.
“Three small blue mills!” You grab your drinks thanking the worker and pass Esmeralda her own. She’s off in her own little world enthralled by the new strange drink.
“Babe,” Pedro says, getting your attention, then thanking you when you hand him his cup. You look up at him, eyebrows raising in question.
“People are starting to take photos and record, it’s only a matter of time before they start coming up to me-“
“-Two roasted pork wraps and one grilled sausage wrap!” Pedro sighs, moving over to grab the food, smiling at and thanking the worker again. He passes the food out and Esmeralda continues to zone out of yours and Pedro’s conversation and focus on the food set in front of her.
“How about you and Esmeralda finish up here and head towards a gift shop, I know she wants to grab some stuff for home. I’ll go use the washroom and walking around alone gives the fans some time to approach me without interfering with family time. I’ll come meet up with you both after a few photos.”
“Works with me.” You agree, smiling.
“Esmeralda, you wanna go space shopping while daddy goes pee?” The question has her snapping her head up at you and rushing to clean up her mess from eating.
“Ya! Ya! Let’s go, mommy!” She reaches for your hand not being used to push the stroller to hold and moves to leave, yelling over her shoulder to her dad;
“Don’t pee your pants, daddy! Mommy won’t be there to clean you up!” Pedro lets out an obnoxiously loud belly laugh that makes you giggle back at him before letting your daughter pull you down the path towards the promise of toys. After you and Esmeralda leave Pedro unwrap his food and scarfs it down quickly on his way to the washroom.
Esmeralda spends 20 minutes sorting through the many different options to bring home with her in Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities. By the time the two of you make it up to the cash register she’s piling shirts, stuffies, one lanyard, a handful of pins and a few toys onto the checkout counter. When you paid the outrageous cost for her small hoard of items you tried to reason with yourself that it was Esmeralda’s first trip to Disney, special occasion means special treatment, right? As you’re walking out of the shop you spot Pedro finishing up with some fans a few feet ahead of you. Immediately, Esmeralda spots her daddy and is rushing over to him and jumping up into his arms.
“Daddy! I wanna show you all my new toys!” The group of people now forming around Pedro laugh and gush over your precious daughter, commenting on how much she resembles him. Esmeralda, like her father, soaks up with attention like a sponge and loves every second of it. As far as she’s concerned this group of people are for her and not her father. They all adore her Grogu outfit and one person tells Pedro he should’ve dressed as Mando to match.
“It’s always a pleasure to meet all of you and I’m sorry I can’t stick around longer but I have to get back to my family now. Everyone have a good time and enjoy yourselves!“ Pedro waves and smiles to everyone, carrying Esmeralda back over to you and continuing on in a new direction.
“How was that?” You ask him curiously. He turns to you and huffs out a breath;
“Good. I love getting to meet and interact with my fans, I wouldn’t be anywhere without their support. But sometimes I wish I could draw that line of time and place a little more clearly to them, ya know.” He shares with you. You nod in agreement and wrap an arm around his waist to comfort him.
“Yeah, I get it.” You say staring up at him. He leans down and softly kisses your lips letting them hover after.
“Ew! No kissing!” Esmeralda gasps grossed out before falling into a fit of laughter. Pedro attacks your face in kisses to bug her more and all you can do is laugh and enjoy this time with your family.
“Ok! Ok! Ah, ok!! Let’s go check out something else, huh?” You question both the Pascal’s before you.
“Falcon one next!”
“To the Millennium Falcon, vamos mi familia!!!” Pedro shouts with a loud clap of his hands.
The three of you spent the rest of the day exploring the galaxy via rides and interactive activities, gorging yourselves on as many sweet treats as your bodies could handle. Later that night you’d reward your husband and show him how much you appreciated what a perfect father and spouse he was. Meanwhile twitter and Instagram would become flooded with photos of your family adventuring Disney, Esmeralda as Grogu causing fans to go wild.
Open to requests!!

May the Force be with you.
Star Wars Men and Women celebrating Star Wars Day with you
Tumblr media
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ben Kenobi), Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Leia Organa, Luke SKywalker, Han Solo, Rey, Poe Dameron, Finn, Kylo Ren(Ben Solo)
Taglist: @akela
The Prequels
Obi-Wan Kenobi
This man is so sweet, he's confused why there's a singular day to celebrate The Force in your universe but he's all for it. He considers today to be a special occasion and thus uses the force today for the tiny things.
Anakin Skywalker
He's roaming the day in his robes, (the only time he wears them) and he uses the force as he normally does, but this time it's mostly for you. He's got his arms around you and casually floating this around you and for you. He doesn't take today to celebrate the force, he takes today to celebrate you.
Padme Amidala
She doesn't have the force but takes today to celebrate her life, like another life day. She's here to dance around with you and has a grip on your hips.
The Originals
Luke Skywalker
Luke's still young and yet he's got a huge grip on the force, just like his father but he doesn't use the force for silly things like floating things for you unless you expressly ask him for it. He's glad to spend today with you.
Leia Organa
She's a princess, not a Jedi. She can't do that force stuff like her brother can, but she's glad to spend a day with you and be yours without any diplomatic stuff.
Han Solo
He doesn't get it really, he just knows today's a day to celebrate him and who he is. He's secretly excited that in some universe, there's a day to celebrate what he's done to the universe as a sexy man. (yes, he's seen the edits)
The Sequels
Rey
She doesn't call herself a Jedi, even after everything she's gone through, she's just Rey but she loves to spend a day with you celebrating her universe. She feels like she's accomplished something other than saving her universe. She's glad to spend a day with you, watch TV, and drink wine.
Poe Dameron
THIS MAN FLIRTS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF TODAY! He's all like "A day just for me??" even when you explain it's not just for him. He gets serious though when he realizes that your universe marketed off the things that happened in his. (Google, execute Order 66) He wants to watch the movies with you though; seeing the past might be fun.
Finn
He's more of a "Can we not talk about what happened?" person when it comes to him realizing that your universe celebrates his universe for an entire day. (He wants all the Lego sets) He loves seeing the videos and stuff and doesn't want to watch the movies, so he'll watch the shows with you. (He likes Mando and thinks he and Poe would get along well)
Kylo Ren (Ben Solo)
He's very sweet, much like his grandfather, using the force to move things around for you. He wants to watch the movies, by the way. He then finds it creepy just how alike the actors are to how his family and enemies look like. (Oh baby don't go to Disney) and so he just sits and watches the Bloopers that come with the movies.

expanded universe mando females vs Disney Mando females a short post on actual diverse women vs lazily written my thoughts
(little reminder EU mando culture was written by a women and disneys and clone wars was written by a man)
what makes a mandalorian women in the expanded universe
calling A mandalorian woman, weak or small, is a huge insult to them, so start running if you can. Mandalorian women come in all kinds of ways, human, alien, any shape, height, etc., but for them, strength, honor, and loyalty are of the utmost regard. Mandalorian women do the same as their fellow men, equal in all parts of Mandalorian life. Women of the Manda can raise children adopted or born by themselves or with a partner. Mando women do look after their home wherever the nomads may travel next and raise their kids, but that responsibility isn't just for women; their partner must always help, regardless of species or sex. Mandalorian women are feared by many, especially by their own brothers. Mandalorian men are not scared by many things, but Mandalorian women terrify them Deeply. Mandalorian women in Mando society and culture are the same as the men. We have many moments in the books, games, and comics with amazing women. There are too many to name, but the most known would be Shae Vizla, Mirta gev, Rav Bralor, Parja Bralor. The stories that have these women are amazingly written by many authors but mainly Karen traviss.
why the Disney mandalorian women are not the same as EU mando women
the mandalorian women of Disney do not have the same values or honor as the EU mandalorians instead they seem to have a system that has royalty and hierarchy which was never present in the EU and lets not forget Disney seems to have death watch and the pacifists as the main vocal point when in the EU we have many different groups but Disney mandao women seem to have no value of equality and work. When we do see them they seem angry bitter hostile and just nasty to mandalorian men and the main one we have seen the most is bo katan and by god that women is not fit to be a mandalorian apparently shes the princess which is like how on earth do nomads go to that but that's a topic for another day but it seems Disney has also forgotten alien mandalorian women we see quit a few in the expanded universe. it really just baffles me how terrible their female mandos are. Mandalorian culture has been diverse, and they took it 50 steps back in modern Disney star wars.
difference in Armour non gendered and gendered
The armor in Mandalorian culture is shaped in many ways, but men and women do not have a certain design fixated on them in the expanded universe; they can share the same look or wear any design armor shape, Kama cloak jetpack with their armor, or any other add-on they want for themselves.
expanded universe Armour
Tumblr media
the armor of the EU Yes, there is way more in SWTOR, so many helmets and gear, but men and women both wear them; there is no special so-called lady armor for female Mandalorians.
Disney Armour
Tumblr media
For Disney Mandalorian women, they seem to all have the same helmet design; however, it is only seen on female Mandalorians putting on a gendered look, which is utterly silly for this culture.
thanks for reading :3 this is just my view as i grew up with Karen traviss writing and work so seeing it destroyed just makes me sad so these are just my quick thoughts.

Fandom whining about merchandising tool grogu getting forced into s3 plot of mando are so funny. it's what they deserve. they didn't want a narrative for din and yoda jr to develop individually as characters so they could actually earn that reunion scene. instead they threw a tantrum about Jedi being baby snatchers, claiming luke and din had to fight for baby rights (wtf is this logic) in the s2 finale, so this is what Disney and favreau tosses in their laps instead. enjoy!
honestly din taking over half of tbobf because of the fandom reaction to a survivor of order 66 choosing to continue the legacy of his own purposefully eradicated religious group left such a bad taste in my mouth that i might not even bother pirating season 3. they whined so much they got what they wanted, grogu as din's lapdog and a mascot to sell merch with rather than a character in his own right. now they have to fucking live with it! of course grogu has nothing to do, that was the natural end of his character functionality!! there's not much else they can fucking do with him when he's a nonverbal toddler, other than make him go even closer to the dark side and force choke more people. they're never gonna let him grow up. what can they do with him if he's not a jedi?? make him a tiny suit of armor and staple him to din's apron strings forevermore? have the first order keep kidnapping him like he's princess peach? fuck, maybe maul will get shoehorned in again and try to turn him like he did with ahsoka. i highly doubt grogu is ever going to be allowed to become his own character.
boba was robbed, luke was robbed, and grogu was robbed. the end of season 2 was a perfect resolution to the story and now disney is gonna ride the mandalorian into the ground like they did with the sequel trilogy.
anyway, i heard andor was good, maybe i'll finally start pirating that instead lmao

among the many utterly unforgivable and grotesque offenses mando 3 committed i have to say one of the worst for me isn’t the rewrite of terrorist katan into a hard-up princess, it’s not killing paz, hell it’s not even the lack of mando lore, and it’s that they literally tried to make bo-katan grogu’s buddy. they literally tried to just replace din as if anybody wouldn’t notice. i blocked s3 out of my head so i forgot how egregious it was but those SHOTS of her and grogu chillin in the front seat of her ship while din twiddles his thumbs in the bg makes me vom!!!!! DIN - single father visceral protector of grogu who would HATE bo-katan if he was written in character, just lets her chill with him unsupervised? just trusts her with him despite them being enemies in s2? like i could go on for ages but i just won’t because it’s not worth my time and i’ve complained about it enough but SERIOUSLY did disney think everyone was that stupid? i am so so so happy that season bombed to hell and back and tanked disney irreparably just 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you get what you deserve bitch

The only Jedi who's ever gone to the Outer Rim and caused more good than harm is Kerra Holt. In chronological order:
- Tom Veitch foretold the trend (as he foretold everything) when he had City Boy On His First Mission Ulic Qel-Droma try to rescue the princess on Onderon (not technically Outer Rim in current canon but whatever), only to completely misinterpret the situation since the princess was getting kidnapped on purpose to marry her love. Ever since then every Core World Jedi going to the Outer Rim has also misinterpreted the situation and/or not assessed the needs of the people they are trying to help, leading to some dreadful cosmic tragedy. In Ulic's case, this small mistake was soon resolved, but in the back-and-forth of wars that resulted from this mission Ulic fell to the Sith and killed a ton of people, ending with a weak ass redemption of mansplaining forgiveness to a catgirl
- Nomi Sunrider stopped the Sith by... burning down a rainforest
- Revan (or as I like to call them, knock off Ulic Qel-Droma) did stop the Mandalorian takeover out there, but only after falling to the Dark Side themself. And what's worse, they took Malak with them. Half the time they clean up their mess, the other half they make it worse, and either way they go further into the galaxy -- bad idea!
- the Jedi Exile blowed up a planet out there. At least they felt sorry about it
- idk SWTOR 😅
- GOAT Kerra Holt goes to the Outer Rim for a specific purpose (free the people from the Sith governments) and works her butt off to accomplish this, even putting a stop to corrupt drug running from the unhelpful Republic. I have a theory that the only reason future Jedi don't learn from her is (not bc she got written just before the Disney merger but) bc she was never able to return home to Coruscant and teach the others :(
- reading The High Republic rn, and this seems to be the main theme of the series, or at least my main takeaway. In the main storyline, the Republic (+ Jedi) build Starlight Beacon for no specific purpose and do not set up any kind of infrastructure to allow the local people to actually reap its benefits. My man Tia Toon calls them out and nobody listens to him except me. Unconvincing post-9/11 villains the Nihil destroy the Beacon, which falls into a local planet and kills a ton of people. Of course the Jedi had good intentions, but so did Ulic, Revan, and the Exile
- in the side storyline, Cohmac Vitus tries to cleanse some evil artifacts and ends up unleashing the Drengir (aka, sanitized Yuuzhan Vong)! This is what inspired me to write this post bc I just read this, and wtf man! It's such a clear example of "don't mess with the dark side if you refuse to study it." This situation really was fine until the Jedi tried to help! He does feel sorry about it too, I wonder of he's gonna turn evil from guilt
- most famously Qui Gon went into the Outer Rim incidentally to his political mission, saved Anakin while he was there with an elaborate Ben Hur reference, but did not save his mom or consider the affects on the community not to mention the boy, which ultimately lead to Darth Vader
- anakin sand ppl
- you'd think Luke and Leia going to Tatooine and killing Jabba would make things better, but according to the Mando TV show everything is still pretty fucked over there
- I guess Rey caused more good than harm by going to Exegol and killing poor old palpatine; it is sad that Kylo had to die, but she forgot him so ig we should too lol

Copyright cash grab
I think the thing that bothers me most about current Star Wars is that it lies so hard about what it’s really doing, like we’re not going to work it out anyway.
Fandom cannot create new canon, it can only work with what it has, open up the cracks, fill in the plot holes and put a new spin on things. But the show creators don’t have that limit, and yet have devolved to reusing the same old plot and structure we’ve seen before and hiding it under a different set of faces.
I suppose it’s meant to be clever, but fanfic has been re-spinning these stories for literal decades now so it just feels like a pallid and obvious cash grab as well as a way for Disney to lay claim to the older Lucas-made canon as now belonging to them.
Personal opinion and potential spoilers behind the cut
Mando spins its story around the core structure of the OT movies while doing its utmost to pretend that it isn’t doing that. Instead of starting with the feisty space princess whose home has been destroyed by the Empire it sneaks in via Solo and focuses on a lone gunslinger doing any dodgy job for money while throwing him about in the mud a lot, role flipping Yoda and Luke, and hiding it all under a layer of Mandalorian armour. But the constant references to other parts of SW get old fast, and they leap right in there from the very start regardless of people only majorly starting to complain about that from Season 3. It was always there, we just weren’t so overloaded by the constant stream of really obvious ones back in Season 1.
And The Bad Batch follows this exact same pattern, the only major difference is that it’s framed around the core plot of the prequel movies and overall tends to bury its true purpose under fewer Rebels references. Sure it’s tying up a bunch of loose ends from multiple seasons of TCW, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to like it.
Add to this the other shows that only got made in order to support these^ two shows.
TCW Season 7 sets up everything the other shows need to have already been established in order to work. The Bad Batch setup is established, Trace, Rafa, and their convenient little Coruscant hiding place gets laid down for later plot use, and the Mandalore arc sets up the rest.
Tales of the Jedi explicitly covers how Anakin treated Ahsoka behind closed doors and how he used others to actually carry that out so that it can be reused later. Amongst other plot relevant details it showed us the relationship between Dooku and Mace, how Dooku was pissed when Mace got a promotion he hadn’t even been trying to claim, and how Dooku was directly offered the chance to drop all of what he was doing and to walk away with the Jedi – and still chose not to.
Half of The Book of Boba Fett was just a dumping ground for anything that didn’t conveniently fit into either of the other two shows but that they didn’t want to leave out (you can’t claim copyright over something you haven’t put onscreen), and boy did it show that they didn’t waste any money covering that part if they could help it. Orphan Boba gets to re-enact Luke’s back story of getting and losing a new family out in the sands of Tatooine, while Vanth gets to lose his arm and get a robotic replacement, it covers the question of what happened once Jabba was dead, drops in a much cuter version of the scene where the Luke defeats the rancor, features a cantina complete with familiar players, and shoves not-Chewbacca in there because having a Wookiee in the main story would be way too much of an obvious nod to the OT setup they’re still trying to pretend isn’t happening. However, it was permitted to drop in a couple of future plot points such as what happens to your brain/memory once you get a deep tissue, full body, bacta treatment, and giving Boba his 3 seconds of playing both Solo getting thrown wetly around by a Wookiee, and the Emperor as he rescues Fennec from certain death by having her Vaderized.
In all fairness this has taken a certain level of effort to re-spin. Aspects of one movie or TCW have been given to the other show, roles have been split between characters to make things less obvious. Hunter gets Anakin’s wig, while Hemlock gets his hand, and Echo gets to play Vader but in reverse order (starting as a cyborg and not becoming one). Or things have been approached from a different angle (usually reversed), like how Bo rescues Din and Grogu from the dianoga pit on the boat instead of getting them into the garbage masher in the first place. Pieces have been recycled from all prior SW visual canon as well as many games, books, and comic books, in addition to many references to non-SW movies.
But some things have been lifted straight out of fanfiction. The outfit that Riyo Chuchi wears when we first see her in TBB mimics Fox’s armour as closely as it possibly can without actually being clone armour, and Foxiyo is a small ship that has zero canonical basis – so far at least. Not that this would be the first time that SW has blatantly ripped off someone else’s work for their ideas or spaceship designs, but being able to data scrape AO3 must make this a lot easier to do than back when you had to pay people to manually cruise the internet.
Whether the Ahsoka show will continue this pattern and frame it around the plot of the sequel movies while pretending it’s nothing more than Rebels Season 5 remains to be seen, but having Jacen Syndulla reframed as the new Kylo Ren is definitely nothing I will ever need to see.
.
Obviously I’m glossing over a lot of the finer detail and references here because I’d be here all day otherwise and I’m trying to limit potential spoilers.

Hi beauty ❤️ 3, 4, 7, 20, 23, 28 and 30: do you love "The Simpsons" ?
Hello, kitkat!
.
a specific color that gives you the ick?
To be honest, I don't think I have one. I really love color. I mean, I will admit that I'm not a fan of most greens unless it's really blueish or pastel. The darker/muddier it is the lesser I like it...olive green is probably my last choice of paint color. Yellowish/greenish browns maybe? Camel? Remember Pedro's crochet sweater top? That's probably a color I could say makes my face involuntarily frown. So maybe it's not always a color that puts me off, but an ill-fitting combo. Like camel and cherry red. 🤮
.
mythical creature you think/believe is real?
Depends on what you define as "real." Do you mean corporally walking around this Earth and can be shot and hung on a wall real? Because then the answer is none.
But there's a chance that reality is always being made and remade. Maybe it's parallel universes. Maybe it's the Big Bang over and over. Maybe we're all living in a computer simulation. Nothing is really real or permanent or proven. And yet, our brains can make the most wonderful things true. In that case, all.
What do I believe? I don't even know. I am a true agnostic in the purest sense. My spirituality is Shrodenger's Box shaped. Nothing is real. Everything is real. Possibilities are endless and I love them all.
You know, I have never done drugs and there's a THC gummy in my kitchen pantry that I've been saving for the right time. If this is me stone cold sober, I bet I'm hilarious when I'm high. And I bet acid would allow me to see through walls.
.
what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?
Whenever I go to the zoo, I will admit that I'm okay if I miss the aquarium because I'm not a water girl. But. Once I step inside, I'm like WELL OF COURSE I WANNA SEE ALL THESE WATER FRIENDS. My favorites there are the sea dragons. I could watch them all damn day.
.
favorite disney princess movie?
Tangled. I will not be taking questions.
.
do you wear jewelry?
Yes. I feel naked without earrings and rings. If it's not overkill, I'll also add a necklace, bracelets, and/or enamel pins. Sometimes I'll add them BECAUSE it's overkill.
I love jewelry, but I hate getting it as a gift because it's also the one thing I'm very very picky about. And I have certain metal allergies. So if someone buys me jewelry, there's a good chance they either bought me something I can't wear....or, if I can, then they spent too much money on me.
Fortunately, I really love beaded/stringed bracelets! (Best bet!)
.
last meal on earth?
Gods, I hope it's tacos.
.
do you love "The Simpsons"?
Love? No. Casually like? Sure. I've seen a handful and found them amusing. I liked it a lot when I was younger, but I kinda lost track at like season 7 or so. It boggles my mind when someone quotes an episode and is like, "do you remember that one?" And I'm like....whaaaaat. You know there's over 700 episodes, right? Mando is my favorite show and only has 24-ish episodes and I need to go rewatch that to remember everything. You expect me to remember "that one episode" of a show that's been running for a literal legal lifetime? And when I tell them I don't watch The Simpsons, they look at me in shock, like I don't drink water or breathe air.
If an episode is on in a waiting room, I will find that preferable to many other waiting room channels. I appreciate that the characters have remained recognizable for decades and you don't have to know all the episodes to enjoy the fact that Homer is going to reliably fuck up or that Marge is gonna mmmmmm at him or that Lisa is disappointed in the ignorance around her but still has lessons of her own to learn. Maggie's gonna suck on that pacifier forever (or until she grows up and becomes a raging punk, right?)
I like them. But there's too much of it for me to love. I have a Star War to obsess over....
.
weirdly specific and unrelated asks
