Ok but is he barefoot? Should Luke or Din get him some shoes? Would he walk like a dog/cat in booties for the first time (please someone who can draw draw this, I will pay money 😆).

Me seeing the Mando girlies getting the happy ending us Bad Batch girlies dreamed of

As much as I’m excited to see Pealleon, I am a little bit sad as a Eli Vanto fanboy when it comes to his mandolorian cameo. It would be sort of confusing for them to coexist in cannon considering they play pretty similar roles in their respective books. I really hope they don’t decannonize Eli. For so many reasons, he’s a complex POC person who questions the Empire and who’s arc partly stems from that. He’s a gay coded character from the south, seeing that represented in Star Wars would be so cool. Eli also brings a certain humanity to Thrawn that I don’t think Pealleon does in the same way. The relationship between Eli and Thrawn (platonic or not) adds so much to Thrawn’s character and gives him so much depth. I worry that because they seem to be going in a Thrawn is an irredeemable baddie route Eli might contradict that too much. (This is also why I’m scared for Arlani’s cannon status) Also I know it wouldn’t make sense for him to be in that shadow council meeting especially considering his arc, but I still feel nervous. Dave Filloni has a history of decannonizing books. My delusional self is manifesting Eli is still hanging out at the assendency and he’s going to help Sabine and Ahsoka find Thrawn. I’m going to be literally so sad if Eli becomes not real y’all don’t even understand. Anywaysssssss…..

Probably gonna get dragged but I actually kinda liked Elia Kane.. she may be suspicious but she did serve. She got me blushing every time she appeared on the screen. 🤭

No but seriously does bo-katan going into the living waters on mandolore count as a redemption for her? Like will mando's clan just be chill with her now or something? It seems like the kind of thing that would have implications.

This was cute until it wasn't

I watched today’s episode of the mandalorian and it’s SO GOOD—the father/son dynamics, the mythosaur, Bo Katan seeing Mandalore, all of it was just SO hype & fun and I was having a great little time

…and what that meant was that my guard was lowered and I was not emotionally prepared for watching The Outpost immediately after because they did not hold back in the making of that episode

Din Djarin:

trying to revive my doodling habit;; but i feel like moff giddy is channeling raul julia’s m.bison and i am here for that

not din giving bo-katan a baptism :,)

I hate the “no attachments” rhetoric so much and I hate that both Ahsoka and Luke in Mando and TBOBF fell straight back into it. Cuz they especially should know more than anyone that the feelings of isolation, feeling like you’re not in a safe space to healthily process your emotions—which requires actually feeling them and being in an environment where you’re allowed to feel them—and feeling like you have a support system where you can speak your feelings without judgment to get guidance and support is REQUIRED for Jedi to stay on the light side. Cuz loneliness, feeling like a burden, feeling like if you have one bad emotion it makes you all bad because of rules around feelings that are unrealistic and too rigorous makes you way more susceptible to the dark side.

Trying to beat bad emotions out of people completely is unrealistic. Expecting literal children to not feel those feelings and just know what to do with them cuz you’ve created a space where those feelings are forbidden is unrealistic. Pushing feelings and emotions down and “burying” them (re: obi wan telling luke “bury your feelings deep down” in ROTJ) and expecting those people to be perfectly healthy is unrealistic. Wanting this level of control over people, their thoughts, and their emotions, and this black and white thinking is not only toxic and dangerous, but is akin to cult culture. The PT era Jedi were extremists in this way and just too blind and couldn’t accept any criticism enough to see it because for some reason, a bunch of old guys decided evolution was not allowed and they’d just keep running the system the same way they always had with no room for change and that would somehow be this foolproof path to survival—which is a complaint a lot of people have about our current irl political system and is causing a lot of damage, btw.

Like wasn’t that the whole point of showing the Jedi’s fall? And doesn’t clone wars especially show how this thinking created all these cracks in the system that Palpatine was easily able to exploit and manipulate and Anakin was just someone who wanted change in the order and he was ostracized for it, so Palpatine latched onto him and Anakin was like “oh finally someone values me,” just to be manipulated and abused and have his whole life blown up to the point that he thought the empire was his only option (obv not excusing the atrocities, just saying I can see how he got to where he did mentally by ROTS)? Like he literally tells Luke that they can team up to overthrow the emperor and in ROTJ, when Luke tries to get him to run with him pre-throne room battle, he says “it’s too late for me,” so he KNOWS this is bad and only going to get worse, but has resigned himself to it.

Like wasn’t the whole point of the OT and the “I can’t kill my own father/there’s still good in him/I can turn him back to the good side” meant to prove that Jedi DO NEED healthy connections in order to thrive and stay on the light side? If they wanna forbid anything, they should be forbidding possession and control, but the PT Jedi Council instead used that for their own benefit and lacked any self awareness to see they’d just become what they were preaching against.

Like give me a post-OT Jedi council who teaches healthy connection and letting things go that aren’t meant for you to control and that friendships and relationships can be powerful things that bring you back to the light in your darkest moments, and a more Legends-esque New Jedi Order that values emotional health and well-being and is a safe space for not only the galaxy, but Force sensitives, no matter how they’re built instead of trying to force everyone into the same box. This is the order I wanted to see Luke cultivate in canon and I will forever be salty that this isn’t what we got.

Wait. Is Din his last name?

Like family name comes first?

Din Djarin. Din Grogu.

Has anyone else noticed the effort to make right with the sequel trilogy in the Mando season 3 finale? I don't just mean trying to explain it but the parallels from cloning to destroying the Saber to adopting family names
