OK but the absolute fucking hilarity of the Jedi just... getting used to this over the years. Oh yeah. That's Arla. She's Obi Wan's Mandalorian. Yeah she just like...follows him. Yeah. We thought she'd stop when he got knighted. But no. Still here. And then! Obi Wan goes to Kamino??? Like canon?

It's really late here so excuse me if this isn't that funny but I've been watching aotc in my mind but with Arla just standing behind Obi Wan the whole time not saying anything and it's making me crack up. Like her just following Obi Wan all around not saying anything but inside her helmet she's like what the Fuck what the Fuck what the Fuck. And then following him in to Jango's quarters, initially I thought she'd take her helmet off immediately but you know what? It's even funnier if she's standing there during that whole tense back and forth.

And then right at the last minute, when Obi Wan's already said bye she just takes off her helmet. I just think. The tension there oh my god. Like. Your big sisters back from the dead and your idiot colleague has just shown her around all of the ethical dilemma factory you work in and you are simultaneously very pleased to see her and very very scared.

Arla Fett is rescued from a Death Watch transport by a tiny Padawan Kenobi and adopts him on the spot, unilaterally deciding that she will be accompanying her boi on all missions in order to loom ominously behind him during negotiations and eliminate any perceived threats to his safety (and happiness) with prejudice

she ignores Qui-Gon Jinn's existence entirely

#Jango's like #i may have fucked up #afterwards Obi Wan is like. why the fuck didn't you say anything. earlier with the assasin. when we got here and you saw the first clone?#you didn't think it was worth mentioning that any of these people looked like your brother???#and Arla is like. Well i haven't seen him in a long time. i had to be sure. and then. well. i thought we'd get more information this way #and she's been with Obi Wan a long time now so he's smart to her game and he's like. right. you waited for the most dramatic moment for #espionage. of course.#anyway arla has Jango back in her life for an hour and she's like. oh no. absolutely not. i don't think so.#the war never starts because Jango just doesn't go to geonosis #arla is like. no need to follow any leads Obi Wan. Jango is going to tell you everything. aren't you Jango #this ends with Jango having to do an apology tour #Palpatine accounted for a lot but he didn't account for Jango's big sister. oh no. this can't do.#she's less concerned about the republic burning and more like. Jango really needs to make good and earn his way back in to the Manda #she's feeling like a really bad older sibling. if she'd known Jango needed this much guidance not to fuck up so massively.#she would have brought him in to work. he could have helped with the Jedi and she could have kept an eye on them both at the same time
