STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS (2008-2020) 4.22 • "Revenge"

not that i don’t understand the frustration behind the sentiment, but “george lucas was such a Clueless Male, he just couldn’t get women, what a shame :(“ is very lazy and toothless criticism. like. beyond the blatant gender essentialism (not a petty concern, especially in this day and age), that’s not how you take someone to task. george was born with a Y chromosome so he couldn’t help but make a certain set of artistic choices? really? that’s the best you got? misogyny as a happy little accident? that’s not insight, that’s coddling. & what do any of us gain from thinking there are such fundamental barriers to understanding each other. tbh!

Both were exceptional people who bore an exceptional daughter. I wish I could tell you more.

You know if you think about it it's kinda funny how there's a species called pykes and then an organization of pyke criminals called the Pyke Syndicate and then the leader of the Pyke Syndicate is named Lom Pyke.

Backstory

Born an orphan on Danu, a tiny moon orbiting an unnamed planet pressing against the edge of the Unknown Region, Kat knew what it was to come from nothing. She spent her younger days bouncing between families in her small community, making herself useful where she could until she was old enough to own a small patch of land for herself. 

When she was about nineteen, a ship crash landed in a small forest bordering her land. When Kat went to investigate she found a Chiss scout ship with a single occupant inside. 

Kat had heard of the Chiss before from old stories passed around the area. They were told to be great warriors which put her on her guard. The scout, however, had no intention in harming her. After finding they could communicate in Sy Bisti he explained he was only a junior Lieutenant and insisted she call him Theo. 

Over the next several months, Kat helped Theo get back on his feet while he did his best to repair his ship and find a way back to his people. They spent their days talking and helping each other with various tasks, always insisting they had to pay back the other for some kindness. Kat found she rather liked having somebody else on the farm with her, particularly someone as genuine and handsome as Theo. Theo, meanwhile, found he rather liked farm work over the military and enjoyed spending time with someone as straightforward and pretty as Kat. At some point all attempts to leave Danu were abandoned and the two of them were married within the year. 

When Kat was twenty one, she had her daughter, Talia. She and Theo were both instantly in love with her and spent their time lavishing her with the love they both lacked in childhood. 

Kat and Theo did try to have more children, but were unsuccessful. After a time they stopped trying. Talia was all they needed. 

As Talia grew older, it became clear that she was different, not just for her Chiss heritage, but other things. She had an innate sense of direction both on the ground and in the sky. Her reflexes were unnaturally fast and she always managed to get herself higher in the trees than any of the other kids. Kat didn’t know what it meant, but Theo recognized her abilities to be similar to navigators. 

It all came to light when Talia was seven and a Jedi came to Danu. 

Neither Kat nor Theo had ever seen a Jedi before and Kat only knew about them through legend. The Jedi explained the Order to both of them and apologized for not coming sooner. In truth there was a chance the council would think Taila was too old to join at this point, but he could sense how powerful she was. 

Theo was skeptical, not wanting his daughter to be used as a tool as the Chiss did with their navigators. Kat, however, was more open to the idea having grown up with stories of the Jedi. She knew her daughter was special and as much as she loved her life, she knew Taila wanted more. She wanted to not just see the stars but touch them. 

After deliberating for a long time, Theo finally caved after Taila expressed her own wish to go. 

The goodbye was tearful, but both Theo and Kat made sure to let their daughter know that if it ever got too scary or hard, she could always come home. 

Theo and Kat continued their lives in quiet domesticity for the next three years without incident. Even as The Clone Wars raged on, they were so far and out of the way the fighting never came their way. They would only hear stories and assure themselves that Taila was still too young to be fighting. And then Order 66 came. 

It took nearly a month for them to receive the news as it came with an Imperial ship. They announced the Jedi as traitors and the beginning of the galactic empire. 

Theo and Kat were left in shock and grief. Kat in part kept coming back to the same question; how could a ten year old girl be a traitor?

The Imperials also didn’t leave. There wasn’t a huge garrison, only a handful of stormtroopers guarding a small outpost station. The captain of the station, however, was a petty tyrant happy to exploit any power granted to him with little repercussions. 

One day it became too much and in the heat of tension, Kat threw a brick at one of the stormtroopers. It turned into a brawl ending with Kat’s arrest. 

She was taken off planet and Theo followed after her, going through any legal channels he could to get her out. It was a small enough skirmish so she only served two years before being released and the captain was replaced, but the damage was done. 

Theo also during that time was able to reach out and find connections to others looking to fight against the Empire. Enough had formed together to start their own cell with the particular goal to get force sensitive children who survived order 66 out of the core worlds and into safe homes scattered around the outer rim. 

Kat came out of prison angry and bitter, but Theo hoped this way of fighting would be good for both of them. And it was, for a little while. Kat felt she was properly able to mourn and connect with others who, even if they let go of their children at an earlier age, understood where she and Theo were coming from. Still, the longer they went on, Kay couldn’t help but feel they were only a temporary solution. Too many times the same faces would pass through, telling tales of how they were discovered and needed a new place to hide. Through the Empire’s efforts the galaxy seemed to be getting smaller.

This came to a head when a new group passed through, one of them wearing the necklace Theo and Kat had given Taila before she left. Theo took it as a sign that Taila somehow escaped and was still out there. Kat argued it was proof she was dead and that she couldn’t keep supporting Theo’s delusion they were going to find her again. They had a huge argument which ended with Kat leaving the cell and going off on her own.

She reconnected with some of her cell mates from prison and over the next seven years she moved from planet to planet fighting the Empire however she could. For a time she even joined with Saw Guerra, but his methods proved too extreme, even for her. She had no love for Imps, but she understood people had a right to change their mind; her husband being a prime example. 

She also spent that time honing her skill to fight specifically force sensitive people, namely the Inquisitors so many refugees referred to when running from the Empire. She knew there was a good chance if she faced one she would die, but she couldn’t see herself outliving the Empire anyway.

What will you do when they catch you? What will you do if they break you? If you continue to fight, what will you become?

man knows one pose

star wars has an obsession with white fascist men who deviate slightly from the empire/first order. the moment someone shows a sign of just being human, everyone flocks to them. it's instant 'they're perfect now--everything else was a fluke' from you guys.

anyway sound off. at what stage do ppl think Han figured out the Force was real. the boring answer is after seeing Obi-wan vanish but i think he could rationalise that away as his eyes playing tricks on him. what do we think.
