Sev looked at Fi with the unspoken count of one, two, three. Sev released his grip on Jiss as Fi clamped his arm tight around her neck, blaster pressed so hard into her temple that the muzzle was ringed with a little patch of white bloodless skin. He could feel her heart pounding through her back against his chest even through the thin sheet of body armor under his tunic. He wondered for a moment if it was his own frantic heartbeat. Sev reached under the rear seat for his DC-17 and took out the grenade attachment. "Okay, it lacks finesse, but we're late for lunch. And if they track us, we're finished." "Here? In daylight, in traffic?" Jusik said. "Not yet." Sev tried to aim his Deece and snapped on the grenade launcher. "Open the rear screen a crack. Can you hold steady?" "You wanted me to outrun them-" "Can't. We've got to drop them." Jusik looked in the rearview. "In a skylane? You haven't got a clear shot and the debris will-" "Me sniper, you pilot. Understand the difference?"

Force sensitivity in mandalorians isn’t uncommon but you don’t just magically get it

Kad/venku skirata the son of etain and dar was born with it like his mother but he had limited training so he wasn’t as attuned in it

Jusik was trained by the Jedi and became mandalorian later on so he has much more of an affinity to the force with his force healing

Their are more force sensitives most likely in mandalorian society but keep it to themselves being a secretive culture

You can’t just magically have the force that isn’t how it works in actual lore

Just finished True Colors

What the heck.

WHAT WAS THAT?

Just to recap:

FI WAS PUT IN A COMA,

CORR REPLACED FI,

ETAIN HAD VENKU/KAD,

DARMAN HELD HIS KID WITHOUT KNOWING IT WAS HIS,

ORDO AND BESANNY ARE CUTE,

THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO GETTING RID OF THE ACCELERATED AGING,

BARD’IKA QUIT THE ORDER,

AND THE NEXT BOOK IS TITLED “ORDER 66”???

I ain’t ready for this.

The war would be over very quickly in a republic commando/Coruscant guard crossover because the second he heard about the corries being mistreated by Palpatine, Ordo would have just straight up killed the chancellor with Jusik as his getaway driver. The next thing a very confused Fox knows is that he and his men have all been adopted by a very angry mando called Skirata. He doesn't know what happened but his evil boss is dead and he can now get more than 3 hours sleep a night so he's cool with it.

#commander fox #ordo skirata #bardan jusik #kal skirata #coruscant guard #republic commando #i have no idea how much crossover between the two fan groups there is so maybe this post will appeal to like 2 people but #also i am not wrong the war would have ended in like 2 months #and everyone would be like oh no a clone assassinated the chancellor >:/#then they find out he's a sith lord who was playing both sides and they are like...#oh #ok then #sw #tcw

Star Wars: Republic Commando: Triple Zero, Chapter 2

"'I think your sergeant should be leaving all that to Coruscant Security,' said Captain Maze, who clearly didn't understand the situation well enough.

Typical ordinary ARC. Typical stubborn ARC."

You are really one to talk about stubbornness. Not, to be honest, that Maze comes across as particularly stubborn in this situation.

Also, hi, Maze! You're one of the characters in this series that I like (that aren't problematic faves) and who isn't ruined.

"Maze squared up. 'Look, Null, I don't know who your sergeant thinks he is, but you obey a general when he --'

'I don't have time for this.' Ordo brought his fist up hard and without warning right under Maze's chin, knocking him against the wall. The man swore and didn't go down, so Ordo hit him again, this time in the nose -- always demoralizing enough to stop someone dead, but nothing seriously damaging, nothing to cause lasting pain. He would never harm a brother if he could help it. 'And I only take orders from Kal Skirata.'

Jusik and Ordo sprinted the rest of the way to the speeder to make up lost time.

'Ordo...'

'Yes?'

'Ordo, you just flattened an ARC trooper.'

'He was delaying us.'

'But you hit him. Twice.'

'Not permanent harm done,' Ordo said, lifting his kama to slide over the pillion seat behind Jusik. He sealed his helmet. 'You can't convince Alpha ARCs of anything by rational argument. They're every bit as obtuse and impulsive as Fett, believe me.'"

Okay. In order.

Maze immediately zoomed to the top of my RepComm characters' list. Who does Kal Skirata think he is?

Only taking orders from Kal Skirata is one of the Nulls' biggest flaws. This may be shocking, dear, but the man is not always right. In fact, as the series goes on, we will see that he is wrong about a lot of things.

"Can't convince Alpha ARCs of anything by rational argument?' I think that applies to you.

In conclusion, Ordo, prove yourself better than your father and learn to be quiet.

(I want to like Ordo. Like, a lot. But he isn't making a great first impression.)

"'General, do you remember being taken from your parents?'"

Before I say anything else, I will direct this to Ordo: SHUT UP. I AM TRYING TO LIKE YOU. YOU ARE NOT HELPING.

Okay, first, that is really insensitive. Even putting aside the Jedi-Bashing, you don't just say that to someone. It isn't a question that will make him come to terms with himself (although in this series...), it's a question that makes you look like an asshole.

"Taken?" Taken implies kidnapping. Taken implies stealing. I will be dissecting this in a future chapter (which also involves Ordo), but for now, I will just say this.

JEDI ARE NOT BABY-STEALERS.

I swear, I am going to tattoo this on Kal Skirata's forehead so he has to see it whenever he looks in the mirror.

Jedi-Bashing: 5

"'No, I remember being taken from my family. Just being taken. Not my family though.'

'And what makes you so attached to us?' Ordo chose his words carefully, knowing precisely what attachment meant to a Jedi. He knew the answer anyway. 'And doesn't that worry you?'

Jusik paused for a moment and then turned with an anxious smile. Jedi weren't supposed to feel powerful emotions like vengeance or love or hate. Ordo could now see that conflict on the boy's face daily."

*Deep, deep, deep breaths*

Okay.

Now that I've had my first proper rage, I will merely say a few edifying comments.

Attachment is not love.

Attachment in Star Wars is not a good thing.

There needs to be a flashing neon sign saying the above in every Star Wars writer's office.

I don't believe I need to say anything else.

Jedi-Bashing: 8

Shut the Fuck Up, Kal Ordo: 2

"'Save your sympathy for the troopers,' Ordo said. 'Nobody uses us.'"

No one uses them, either. Not the way you put it anyway. Go ahead, tell Rex or Cody or Wolffe they're being used.

I dare you.

"'I'll be cautious,' Jusik said, meshing his fingers in front of him to do that little Jedi bow that Ordo found fascinating. Sometimes Jusik was one of the boys, and sometimes he was ancient, wisely sober, another creature entirely."

Jedi-Bashing: 10

"'Fifteen dead.' Skirata clearly didn't care about civilian casualties, traffic disruption, or structural damage."

If it was anyone else, any other writer, any other book, I wouldn't be too bothered by this. But given Kal Skirata's track record...

Jedi-Bashing: 8

Mando-Shilling: 1

It's a Man's World: 1

Shut the Fuck Up, Kal: 2

Deltas, Move Out: 0

Mird, My Beloved: 0

Is This The Bad Batch?: 2

Main Post

This is the second chapter, people. Second chapter, and I've raged like the Hulk and wanted to strangle a character I literally just met (something that usually only happens with Kal Skirata). I'm trying to be fair and give everyone a fair shake, but this... Maybe it'll get better.

Fi lived, bitch.

Would have called it "Besany and Bardan wanted to be petty bitches at that one medical droid who wanted to take Fi off life support" but that's too long.

This is my @starwars-arttrade-2023 piece for @wackylurker! Dear beloved mutual. I started making it while you weren't yet sure if Fi would live or not. I'm not sure what went on through my head but I decided I needed to make this. It's no Star Wars Mona Lisa, and honestly I'm not even sure it's what you would now want. But. It was funny at the time, okay!

I do have an alternate version under the cut hehe.

I love the Jedi, believe me, I do but what they became near the end is a tragedy. And THIS conversation between Mij and Jusik explains what I've been thinking in very short sentences:

Jusik: "The Masters at the Academy told me that I thought too much and asked too many questions."

Mij: "Well, that's what any secret cabal that doesn't like its authority to be questioned would say."

And

Mij: "Do your old buddies think you're lost to the dark side now?"

Jusik: "Probably. I just wish they'd stop worrying about light and dark, and learn the difference between right and wrong instead."

Anyone can look me in the eyes and say, "The Jedi were good, they were trying to keep the peace," while that's true, it's also a fact that they did some pretty fucked up shit and lost their way. Don't get me started about what they did to Quinlan and tried to have him killed because it was their fault he walked the path of the dark side. How they thought it would be a good idea to fake Obi-Wan's death KNOWING how emotional Anakin was, that he'd feel betrayed. And to me, that is what cemented his future in becoming Darth Vader.

They were wrong on many things, if anything they were their own worst enemy and brought upon their own downfall. Because you're telling me Grand Jedi Master Yoda, a wise and powerful force user, couldn't sense that Palpatine was evil, but he could sense that Qui-Gon's previous apprentice was clouded by the dark side? Okay...

Jusik wiped his forehead with his palm and looked as breathless and battered as he ever had after performing the Dha Werda. Fi could have sworn he looked just as elated, too. "Family of Garqian tourists with a Gran driver," the Jedi said. "Now let's try to explain this to you-know-who without getting our heads ripped off." He opened his comlink. "Returning with a prisoner, Kal ." Sev grumbled in his throat. "Never use real names." "Least of our worries now," Fi said. So Jusik was scared of Skirata, too. It was supposed to be a quiet ohs job, as he'd put it, observation duty; it had turned into kidnapping and blowing up unidentified vessels. Scared wasn't the right word, though. He'll be disappointed with us. We let him down. Fi, like anyone who came into Skirata's circle, desperately wanted Kal'buir to be proud of him. It was more effective motivation than fear any day.

Finished Order 66

First off…

WHAT THE KRIFF

I THOUGHT I WAS PREPARED FOR THIS.

Okay so just to break everything down:

FI GETS A GIRL (YAY),

KAL’S DAUGHTER SHOWS UP,

THEY ARE FINDING A WAY TO REVERSE THE AGING,

ORDO AND BESANY ARE MARRIED,

ATIN AND LASHEEMA ARE MARRIED,

FI AND PARJA ARE MARRIED,

DARMAN FINDS OUT HE IS THE FATHER,

DARMAN AND ETAIN ARE MARRIED,

SEV GETS LEFT BEHIND (knew it was gonna happen but STILL),

CORR IS ACTUALLY VERY FUNNY,

DARMAN AND NINER GET LEFT BEHIND,

AND ETAIN DIES?!!!

…

WHY.

I think Disney should hire Ao3 writer Umei_no_mai to rewrite the Republic Commando series. Those character did NOT deserve Karen Traviss’ personal issues to be projected onto them like that

#like. Kal Skirata + Nulls Etain Tur-Mukan Walon Vau Arla Fett Bardan Jusik and that one other girl from Coruscant whose name I forget #ALL deserve better than KT’s internalized sexism and racism #and looking at what Umei_no_mai has written.#they would do SO much better than KT did #Star Wars #star wars republic commando

Star Wars: Republic Commando: Hard Contact, Chapter 2

"Clone personnel have free will, even if they do follow orders. If they couldn't think for themselves, we'd be better off with droids -- and they're a lot cheaper, too. They have to be able to respond to situations we can't imagine. Will that change them in ways we can't predict? Perhaps. But they have to be mentally equipped to win wars. Now thaw these men out. They have a job to do.

-- Jedi Master Arligan Zey, intelligence officer"

I'm going to add any of these...I'm not sure what these extracts at the beginning of the chapters are properly called, but I'll add them whenever they're interesting.

Zey's comment about the clones reminds me of the line from Andor. "We're cheaper than droids, and easier to replace." The difference here is that while clones are more expensive and harder to replace than droids, they're superior.

And yes, Master Zey, it did change them in unexpected ways.

"It didn't feel so bad to be revived after stasis. He was still a commando. They hadn't reconditioned. That meant -- that meant he'd performed to expected standards at Geonosis. He'd done well. He felt positive."

The implication that "under-performing" clones are brainwashed, at best, is one of the Traviss's additions that I genuinely like, emphasizing the cold detachment of the Kaminoans before they become prominent in the series. It's also just a terrifying idea.

"Darman was careful not to stare -- even though any eye movement was disguised by his helmet -- because Jedi knew things without having to see. His instructors had told him so. Jedi were omniscient, omnipotent, and to be obeyed at all times."

And here we see the official beginning of the Jedi-Bashing count. It's subtler here, but it keeps popping up in ways that are unmistakable in the context of the series' attitude toward the Jedi Order. In multiple cases, such as this one, lines that wouldn't make me bat an eye in a different book, (or more accurately, a different author), but make me grit my teeth here.

The way this specific paragraph is written is very similar to how I'd write a passage from the POV of a character who thinks the antagonist is a good person, or is brainwashed, but I want to make it clear what's really going on. Only in this case, it isn't portraying, say, a Sith cult, but the Jedi Order, which is devoted to helping others, enforcing justice, and studying the Force.

Jedi-Bashing: 1

"'This is your unit of four, then? A squad?' He seemed to be recalling a hurried lesson. 'Almost like a family?'"

This might be a stretch, but I'm not cutting this series an iota of slack when it comes to the Jedi Order. The implication here seems to be "Oh look, the Jedi have no idea what a family is! It's so unnatural and wrong, not like the good, wholesome Mandalorians!" Am I being petty? Maybe. Does Kal Skirata ranting about baby-stealers get really fucking old really fucking fast? Definitely.

Jedi-Bashing: 2

"'My squad called me Atin," the wounded commando said.

Niner glanced at Fi but said nothing. Atin was Mandalorian for 'stubborn.'"

Okay, this bit is just funny.

"Darman -- a soldier able to withstand every privation in the field, and whose greatest fear was to whither from age rather than die in combat -- felt inexplicably uncomfortable at the idea of a Jedi having failings."

Jedi-Bashing: 3

"Etain was neither a natural warrior nor a great charmer, but she was aware of her talent for spotting opportunities. It made up for a lot."

In this book, at least, I really like Etain. She's a good audience surrogate and her headspace is easier to get into than the other three narrators.

Jedi-Bashing: 3

Di'kut Count: 1
