#there's not even any CANON evidence that any of the trainers were mando #nor any canon evidence that jango actually had any kind of interactions with the clones #esp none that had anything to do with passing on mando culture #hell BOBA FETT HIMSELF says in the mandalorian that he does not consider himself to be mando #he wears the armor because it belonged to his father #and it's sentimental that way #but he doesn't count himself as a mando or ever have any interest in taking part in that culture #so if jango never bothered passing on that culture to the person he considered his son #why does anyone think he'd have done so for the ones he rejected?? #makes no sense y'all
I really don't get it when authors write clones as Mandalorians who are super attached to their culture and language. I mean, yeah, I get that Jango Fett was a Mandalorian (and so many people are so ridiculously horny for Mandalore, but that's for another day) but they explicitly say - several times - that their home planet is Kamino.
Maybe their training had some Mandalore influence, but we also see that a lot of their trainers are bounty hunters from loads of places as well as having Shaak Ti supervising.
They develop their own culture and traditions - like how they decorate their armour or earn their names - which may start out from Mandalorian roots but are obviously influenced by the war, their jedi leaders, and Kamino more than anything.
I just don't get the vibe from the shows and movies that Mandalore is that important to the clones apart from in that distant way people talk about where their ancestors came from. Whenever they talk about 'home' planet, its Kamino. Jango Fett is just their sperm donor bio-dad who they ignore the existence of most of the time.
#sw#Anti Mando Clones#Anti SW Fanon#I can’t take anything involving Mandalorians seriously#But I ESPECIALLY can’t do it with Jango because people were so desperate for this bounty hunter#To have his stupid Legends backstory be made canon and then Disney retconned it to pander to the fans#Even if some official story could actually write the stupid Mando Clone trend well#I still would not acknowledge it because fandom has made me hate it so much and as for a hot take#The clones are infinitely more interesting when they’re not affiliated with their deadbeat donor/Mando’s
