It's interesting how Anakin broke every rule the jedi had and yet people still say those rules are why he fell.

It was that simple

THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999) - dir. George Lucas

Please, I need you to go in a tangent about Jango Fett. Like a deep dive meta tangent.

I’ll do you one better! I’ll share some Jango character development notes from this interview with LucasArts’ Jon Knoles, who developed the Bounty Hunter game and Open Seasons comic book lore one-on-one with George Lucas.

So this is Jango Fett HIGH CANON:

First, a quote from the AOTC commentary:

"…(Jango) you know, had a little bit of heart. Had a little bit of sentimentality to him. He wasn't just, you know, Darth Maul. All evil." - George Lucas

From the interview:

Jon Knoles: “I didn't invent this stuff. No, I know, but still, part of my role was to save the stuff, and everything was yes, no, yes, no, and sometimes (George Lucas) would write a little bit more in the margins.

One of the things he wrote is: ‘Jango is basically a nice guy’—looking at the quote here—‘who needs, he has normal human needs. He wants offspring, he's sentimental, he loves his son just like anybody else would but at the same time he lives in a very harsh world. He's not a villain, he’s not a murderous thug. He's a guy with his own moral code; he wants to pass on what he knows to someone else. So that's why he wants a son. So let's just go with that and not base it on any other, you know, revenge story or anything like that; it's about money and passing that money and knowledge onto somebody else.’

“You find someone who is worth passing this on to, everything you've learned, and you know that they're going to be loyal to that cause and they're going to keep that moral code, and that happened when Jango was a kid; somebody took a chance on him.”

“That was another question I'd asked him: Can I apply some of the now-defunct Boba legends and Mandalorian lore and all that stuff onto Jango Fett? And he said, ‘Absolutely!’ So, when I wrote the story background originally, I had already had this idea that Jango was going to be orphaned on the remote world, caught in the crossfire revolt, and taken under the wings of a Mandalorian named Jaster Mereel because I was trying to, you know, take that cool name and that cool legacy that Daniel Keys Moran wrote and apply it to Jango Fett.”

“George said, ‘he's a mercenary, but he loves his son just like anybody else, right? So, he's sentimental! He is not a villain, right? He is a villain in the movie; that is his only purpose, and he dies for that, but in our game, he’s the hero. And so, for him, Boba was the ultimate treasure, you know? The thing that he didn't know he wanted. But he's a guy with a dangerous life; he's got all this money that he's making, but what's it all for at the end of the day?’ And I think George was saying that he wants to pass on a legacy, just like anyone. And that's where Boba came from, and so that was when I got that feedback, I just started writing the story... I got to work with him closely.”

i think itd be really cute to make a Star Wars-inspired ttrpg and begin with fourth edition. have little asides to catch up "returning" players with the changes the game's gone through since 3rd, and talking about how the setting's had a soft reboot facilitated by a timeskip so it could play around in a tougher, grittier galaxy with less of an emphasis on court politics and jedi missions

actually now that I think about it it's very funny that obi-wan was using his whole-ass unchanged last name while in hiding after being like, publicly a member of the Jedi council, a high-ranking political and military body, ten fucking years ago. the cashier at the moisture store asks for a name for the order and is like Ben Kenobi? like that old Jedi general? I wonder what he's up to these days and obi-wan nearly outs himself by saying "this"
