Found Family in Star Wars
What I really love about Star Wars is how much of the fandom is fully into the found family trope.
Like, lots of people may complain that Din and Grogu is the most generic trope that Disney could have gone for, but that’s how it always was. How a lot of the fandom truly sees Star Wars for.
Aliit ori'shya tal'din – «Family is more than blood».
The Vode. The biggest family you could have asked for. Thousands of overprotective for each other brothers, who are ready to make anything possible for each other. Waxer and Boil almost adopting Numa (yes please). The Bad Batch that are literally five older brothers taking care of one little sister.
True Mandalorians. Like Jaster Mereel, Kal Skirata, young Jango, Walon Wau, Mij Gilamar, Vhonte Tervho – all of them stay true to Resol'nare, be it an au with no Kamino or with it. You get 1 True Mandalorian within a radius of child in distress and now you have an angry buir ready to kill. It is literally in the marriage vows – We will raise warriors.
The Jedi Order. They have their flaws (who does not?) but they are one huge dysfunctional family. From Crèche masters, Knights, Masters, Guardians, Younglings and Padawans. They protect their own. You can say anything about «no attachment rule» but I feel like having an amazing lineage with lots of padawan-siblings, masters, uncle/aunt-masters, grandmasters that ground you must be an amazing feeling. We do know that the Jedi still fail their own in lots of ways, but like if there were no Sith and they were living not in the middle of the Republic imagine how more peaceful and truer to the code their lives would be?
The Corps. We don’t get a lot of information about them but I adore everyone who writes, shares headcanons, draws them. They are still Jedi, though they have different specializations. They give aged out younglings new purpose and they stay true to the Force. To be honest, since the Corps do not live on Coruscant I believe before 66 they were definitely even more attuned to the Force then the Order (cause again, one annoying Sheev)
The Ghost Crew. Do I even need to say anything? They are an amazing family that pulled through a lot of obstacles (and sadly losses). They all lost something even before getting together but staying together was their biggest strength.
The Opress brothers. Even though we did not get a lot of Feral in TCW we got enough of Maul and Savage. Even with all of the evilness and full sith-crazy mode they were brothers till the end. If it was not for Dooku and Sidious (and well mother Talzin and nightsisters) they would be still together and be strong.
The Original Skywalker/Solo family. Han’s and Luke’s brotherhood even before romance with Leia started. Leia and Luke bonding even before they knew they were blood family. Chewie protecting his family, even the Droids like C3PO and R2.
And the list goes on. I probably missed out on a lot of families so if you want to add some to the list – do reblog/comment!
 In the end I just want to say that even though a lot of people say that our fandom is one of the most toxic ones I still adore everyone who spends their time writing, drawing, doing cosplay – literally anything fandom related. Even if you don’t create and just read – supporting creators makes all of this worth it.
Please, continue creating more stories about any characters, any family, anything that you love in this fandom. There always will be people who will appreciate anything you do to help our fandom thrive.

I love the idea that the Clones knew how the war was going to end. Not as in they knew order 66 from the start way but in a 'our existence doesn't make sense' way. They are super intelligent and its mentioned that they were very deliberately taught skills that would help them at war but which would NOT make them understand their position/ see an alternative (no literature or history for the clones) so as soon as they get out in the galaxy and start to learn things that aren't being cherry picked it doesn't take long for them to realise
So I think they'd see this army and they'd see the tenets of the Jedi and they'd just be like yeah no way. Suspicious that Dooku was apparently involved? Suspicious that Jango died just in time to tell nobody anything. They'd see the structure of the GAR and at first it's all they know, but then they start to see how inefficient things are and they are like 'bureaucrats smh' but then they realise that nobody wants it to get better and they CAN'T make any improvements and it just slowly dawns on them that this war is designed as a money sink, its designed to wear out the Jedi. They are just playing pretend.
I think they'd look at the lack of provisions for a life after the war and they'd just see that they clearly aren't intended to survive. They aren't made to be citizens, they've been custom built in ways that would bring up huge ethical dilemmas as soon as anyone even started to consider that they might be citizens. They haven't been trained to fight in ways that'll prevent long term injuries. Everything about the GAR just = disposable. I think they'd consider what it takes to have an army that big and to have no need to consider retirements or long term health care or housing and they'd just realise that something big is coming and it doesn't look good
I think it would become one of those truths that no-one speaks. You don't say it but also, you'll never hear a clone talk about after the war. They'll never talk about what they'll look like when they grow old. Jango didn't make it to old age and neither will they. And I think once they know, it doesn't make a difference at all, and that's the worst thing. They see a war that THEY can never win. The clones won't emerge victorious, they aren't getting out of this at all and they see that and they still carry on fighting like they always would have if they hadn't known. Because what else is there? Because they love each other and want to fight for as long as they can to make sure that each clone gets to survive for as long as possible, they want to make sure that everyone's living the best life possible until that point, living the lives they were made for, their life's purpose. And then they get to know the Jedi and its about fighting for them, so that they can live past the clones

You all know the trope of the Corrie Commanders becoming increasingly closer and protective of Fox as the war goes on, and sometimes become even hostile towards the rest of the CC's.
That, but they are really just competing over who Fox likes more. Thorn and Cody have a fistfight about it on the streets.

Snippet from: I remember you, and so you are eternal
It starts, with an ending.
Sometimes, a person is born and finds themselves living in a galaxy that simply has no room for any of their hopes and dreams.
It becomes apparent that they should either live out the life dictated for them, already carved in to place, or else, they might have to construct a new path, and you can not do so just with sheer willpower.
For a person to walk a new path, there has to be enough space so that their will, might find a foothold.
The Vode lived as they were told to because the world in which they lived was too small to imagine any alternative. There was no room where they might imagine such a thing, nor was there any place for such a path to be carved out and so, they lived as the Republic dictated, and probably always would have.
But one day, the Republic burned and when it did so, it left a space in which something else might one day grow.
If asked, none of the Vode would have wanted their start in life to be at the cost of the people they'd been made for. The Clones had been raised to know that they were created for the Jedi, and they'd stepped in to the galaxy and served them willingly. In the process, they'd grown to love them, both as individuals and as a people.
The Vode had loved the Jedi, and they had loved the Republic, but that love had not been enough to save any of it, in the end.
The Republic had burnt, the Jedi with it and when that fire had finally burnt itself out, there had been room, finally, for something new.
The truth was, none of the Vode had truly lived until that had all happened. What the Kamineese, at the hand of the republic, had served them was not a life. It was not even like a life, but while the Vode had it, there was little room for anything else.
Then, all in one, they'd lost that.
The Jedi, gone.
The Republic?
That was gone too, and what rose in its place wasn't nearly enough to stand in for a life. What the Vode had before was a poor replacement, but this wasn't even that.
The Empire went to no effort to win the clones loyalty and that, would be it's mistake.
The Empire inherited the clones from the Republic but it never really wanted them. To the Empire, each and every clone was a means to an end. Once they'd achieved that end, flaming Republic and Empire rising from the ashes, the clones were simply a loose end.
The problem was, the clones were a bit too loyal. That is, they were made to be loyal to more than a name. The clones were loyal to an idea.
They'd been weaned on the virtues of democracy, on the idea of a government which was at its greatest when defending freedom.
They were loyal to the Jedi, an order of monks who favoured sentient rights and equity above all. The Jedi had worked for millenia to secure food security, accessible education, free medical care and peace across the galaxy. They didn't always get it right, but the clones had faith that they would always try and they wanted to personally help them on their way.
Even without the Jedi or the Republic, those key ideas were what the clones, had always and would continue to, be faithful to; something rather unfortunate for a rising regime that stood in opposition to those ideas.
The truth is, when a person finds themselves in a world that simply does not want them, they will hunt for whatever warmth they can find.
There are small kindness everywhere, even in the darkest of times. Sometimes that is enough, but sometimes, when one can't find even that small scraping to survive off; they'll watch the world burn in the hope that something kinder to them might rise in its place.
They might even warm their hands on those flames.
This is because: a person in that position has nothing to lose, and a system that makes a person like that? Maybe doesn't deserve to survive.
Gen
2558 words
In an AU in which Fox ran from order 66 to save his brothers: Wolffe is less dead than assumed. He reluctantly lives on in his brothers absence, helping slaves and adopting lost Jedi until one day he hears a story.

Obi-Wan: Commander Fox. It's good to see you. I hope you're well. Fox: Well on my way to an early grave. Cody: Don't mind him. He hasn't been off Coruscant in a year. All he does all day is see how far he can climb up the chancellor's-- Fox:... Obi-Wan: Oh dear... Fox, after grabbing Obi-Wan's lightsaber and chucking it: FETCH, BOY! Obi-Wan, watching Cody jog off after it: I really shouldn't laugh. It's my fault he has a reputation for fetching my lightsaber... Fox: Well, it's his fault he's a jerk, so you're in the clear to laugh. Obi-Wan, chuckling: I suppose you're right.

so bc im insane, this actually shouldnt be seen as a joke or a goof and should instead be seen as a legit part of mandalorian culture 
in the republic commando books one of the clones-turned-mandos had special needs due to a TBI he received in battle. while they didnt modify his helmet, they wrote on his helmet to indicate that he had been injured:
Parja reached up and patted [Fi’s] helmet. She’d painted it with the Mandalorian letters M and S for mir’shupur — brain injury — just like a battlefield medic might do for triage purposes. On Mandalore, the symbol functioned as a blend of a general warning to give the wearer a break, and a medal for combat service.
— Republic Commando: Order 66, pp 39
so mandalorians, as much as they are a warrior people, do not stigmatize, nor misunderstand, mental illness or special needs. they, in fact, do understand that people have their limits, and that not everyone is the same.
anyone can become a mandalorian. no matter your gender or race or limitations. what matters is your dedication to your family, clan, and people. so yes, they would, in-universe, allow modifications for any mandalorians that couldn't wear the classic helmet.
