Villain: Dreava Bleek, Gallowood Sheriff
It's a gruesome business enforcing the law, especially when the laws are written by an aristocracy who wants their subjects submissive and terrified and it's your business to keep them that way.
There have always been people like Dreava Bleek, blunt instruments that enforce the social order so those at the top needn't bloody their hands. They do it for many reasons; coin, ambition, sadism, but in the case of this villain it's misplaced righteousness: Dreava has had a hatred burning in the pit where her heart should be since she was a child, a bone deep conviction that if people just knew their place and followed the rules that the world could be a place of pace. Nevermind the powerful that abuse the system for their own gain, nevermind the starving poor who break the law only to fill their bellies. In Dreava's word there are only good citizens and criminals, and criminals will hang.
Adventure Hooks:
Dreava earned both her reputation and her title in her campaign against the Gallerwood outlaws, a band of highwaymen who were famed for robbing everyone from wizards and duchesses and who Dreava left hanging from the trees along the edge of their forest. After her little stunt folks started calling the area "Gallowwood" and speaking of how her victims still haunt the roads looking for one last take. Some others mention a secret hideout that the sheriff never found, in which the thieves kept their most valued treasures.
The two easiest ways for the party to end up in Dreava's sights are to already be criminals, or to make themselves the enemy of some belligerent noble who can accuse them (accurately or not) of some transgression of the law
Backgorund: Dreava was young when darkness was wrought upon her soul, when a series of poor harvests and overstepping officials saw her little village rise with its neighbours in a revolt against their feudal overlord. She lost her home and her mother not in the uprising itself but in the violent pillage the lord's forces were allowed after its brutal suppression.
A flip of the coin and Dreava could have been a rebel fighting against authority, but in those grim days the alchemy of terror instilled in her an understanding of just what happens when the poor overstep the place allotted to them by their betters.
Since then her life has followed a pattern. Get hired on by some lord after having difficulty with bandits or other such rabblerousers. Make a show of brutal violence that seems to put an end to the problem for good. Continue to build her reputation until she either becomes her patron's bloody left hand, making their followers just as brutal and jackbooted as she is. End up entering into the service of another lord either on recommendation or after she's ousted for some violence that not even the benefice of the nobility can forgive.
Further Adventures:
Rather than a head on confrontation, Dreava will seek to bait the party into a trap, either by setting up an ambush or going after their known associates. Coerce, intimidate, brutalize, leashed in only by the very limit of what the law might allow. If she doesn't have proof of the party's guilt she'll drag them off to a dungeon to await a sham trial (from which they might be able to escape), but if she's been given the goahead by her superiors she'll gladly execute the heroes in the field, a grim situation which has it's own escape methods.
All her life the sheriff had sworn by the goddess Erathis, seeing herself as a champion of law and civilization. What a surprise for her then after the heroes sever her soul from her body to awake in the halls of the lord of all hells.  While the other gods turned their heads away in shame and disgust, Asmodeus watched with appreciation as Dreava bent her life to punishing sinners, and now offers her the chance to do so again, this time in his service. With a new master to serve and chip on her shoulder against the party Dreava will gladly agree, emerging from her damnation with a newly fiendish form. Consider having her emerge as a surprise villain several levels after the party thought her dead, and the head of a band of fiendish cultists.

oh and here's one of my mandalorians - Will'ow Lok
Will is not a great fighter, but she's pretty good in engineering, repairing and creating some useful equipment for others. They especially love to repair and to build droids

I had a revelation just two days before Christmas! I was feeling a bit uninspired this winter, but just after I delivered gifts to my friends while wearing my first-ever Christmas sweater, I had a thought: "sweaters!"
So, I present to you this year's gingerbread cookies edition! I chose my favorite Star Wars trio - Boba Fett, Mandalorian (Din Djarin), and Baby Yoda (Grogu). I'm quite pleased with the effect, but I plan to revisit this idea next year, so stay tuned! Especially since holiday-themed art seems to be the only kind of Star Wars art I create nowadays :/
Anyhow, happy holidays! I wish you all a lot of inspiration and creativity! <3

Baby Yoda & Bounty Hunters:
Why The Mandalorian is the Best Show Ever.
It would be an understatement to say that "The Mandalorian" has revolutionized television, especially for "Star Wars" fans. Since its launch on Disney+, the show has garnered an enormous global following, becoming a beacon of hope for viewers who were yearning for a fresh perspective on the cherished "Star Wars" universe. But what exactly makes "The Mandalorian" the best show ever? Let's delve deeper into this.
The Embodiment of the Original Star Wars Spirit
The heart of "The Mandalorian" lies in its ability to encapsulate the original spirit of the "Star Wars" saga. It delivers a perfect blend of new-age storytelling while paying homage to the vintage spaghetti-western & Kurosawa feel of the original trilogy. This serves as a powerful nostalgia trigger for the original fans while simultaneously appealing to new generations. From cantina brawls to high-speed spaceship chases, "The Mandalorian" is a fitting tribute to George Lucas’s vision that started it all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Storytelling and Character Development
At its core, "The Mandalorian" is a character-driven series. The protagonist, Din Djarin, more commonly known as the Mandalorian or Mando, evolves brilliantly through the episodes. His character development is complex and compelling, with the story masterfully intertwining his enigmatic past, his hardened bounty hunter persona, and his unexpected paternal bond with Grogu (popularly known as Baby Yoda). These narrative layers provide depth and emotion that resonate with audiences, leaving them hungry for more.

Revitalizing Star Wars Lore
"The Mandalorian" also rejuvenates "Star Wars" lore by exploring uncharted territories and delving deeper into the culture of the enigmatic Mandalorians. The series' narrative weaves into the crevices left untouched by the mainline "Star Wars" films, filling gaps in the universe's history and mythos. This expansion of the lore not only attracts avid fans but also enhances the richness of the "Star Wars" universe.
Innovative Filmmaking Techniques
One cannot deny the impact of the revolutionary filmmaking techniques used in "The Mandalorian." The use of a real-time rendering system, known as StageCraft technology, takes visual effects to a new level. This technology offers a 360-degree LED video wall that can simulate realistic backgrounds and environments, providing a more immersive viewing experience and showcasing Disney's commitment to pushing the boundaries of entertainment technology.

Compelling Performances and Guest Appearances
Pedro Pascal's performance as the Mandalorian is remarkable. He manages to express a wide range of emotions despite his face being hidden behind a helmet for most of the series. Additionally, the series benefits from an impressive roster of guest stars, including Hollywood Legends like Carl Weathers and Rosario Dawson, to name a few. Their performances, combined with the show's outstanding writing, make every episode a cinematic event.

Standout Music Score
The score of "The Mandalorian," crafted by Ludwig Göransson, is nothing short of spectacular. It perfectly blends the classic "Star Wars" style with a unique, fresh sound that echoes the show's premise. The soundtrack is an auditory delight that evokes the right emotions at the right moments, further enhancing the show's appeal.
youtube
To conclude, "The Mandalorian" is not just a television series; it is a testament to the evolution of storytelling, a blend of the old and the new, and a love letter to fans of "Star Wars." Through its exceptional storytelling, character development, expansion of lore, groundbreaking technology, stellar performances, and captivating score, it has established itself as the best show ever. Whether you are a die-hard "Star Wars" fan or a newcomer to this universe, "The Mandalorian" offers an unforgettable journey that you won't regret embarking on.
