Boba is small and obnoxious, in a way only small tubies can be, squirming and thrashing around in his crib as he wails. He’s been told that Boba is denominated “a toddler”, by nat-born standards. CC-2224 is not impressed.

“What does the word ‘Boba’ mean,” he asks. The word has been bothering him for some time now.

Jango doesn’t raise his eyes from the datapad he’s frowning at, “It’s an old family name.”

CC-2224 considers this. Boba continues to wail at the injustices of the world. CC-2224 is sympathetic to that, at least.

And then the question pops in his head like an armed grenade.

“Can I have a name?” he asks.

Jango looks up at him, both eyebrows raised up to his hairline. There's a considering silencie, and then he says, like he's already regretting it, “You could.”

CC-2224 stares at him expectantly. Boba wails, mostly ignored.

Jango snorts and shakes his head, letting his attention fall back on his datapad, “You’ll have to come up with one on your own, kid. I’m shit at naming things,”

CC-2224 frowns, looking down at Boba, who’s finally beginning to realize no one paying much attention to his crying and he might need to adapt his strategies.He makes grabby fingers at CC-2224, who watches impassively.

Making an impulsive decision, he reaches into the crib and pulls the baby out, holding him at eye level like a hide up for inspection.

“I like the word kote,” CC-2224 says.

“Very modest,” Jango snorts, but he sounds approving. Newly christened Kote thinks he wasn’t looking for approval, but its nice getting it anyway.

Boba sneezes on his face, and the universe shifts.

Kote's never seen the sun, but someday he'll understand this moment feels like sunrise.

Skeleton Crew Ep 1&2 spoilers…

Aldhani is totally fine. Fine, I tell you! “A sulphurous bog world” is exactly the sort of rude joke the English fire Scotland’s way all the time. It’s quite possibly something Nick Frost would’ve improvised. And even in Andor the Imperials complain about how it all smells.

Besides, there’s something rather fishy about the time in the series anyway. The droid’s memories could be pre-Imperial.

I hate beaches. Lakes are nice, I like lakes, but sand can kiss my ass. Not literally. I want sand nowhere near me. Sand please do not kiss me

I'm not nearly as awake I need to be to be eloquent with this, but like, looking through some of the oldest tags that I follow I've begun to notice a trend that's starting to really tick me off...

A great majority of y'all really don't know what boundaries and setting boundaries means, do you?

Like, I've seen blogs with pinned posts with clear and concise introductions that read "please do not leave explicit comments on my stuff because it makes me uncomfortable" for this or that reason (you're not owed an explanation, they already gave you a valid reason), only to then see the majority of comments/tags on these blogs's posts being incredibly gross for no reason other than spite.

And if the OP makes an effort to reinstate the boundaries they've clearly set, they get given hell for trying to protect themselves. Heck, I've seen some people going out of their way to create new blogs specifically to hound what could very well be a minor trying to protect themselves by blocking them.

That's pretty creepy and gross behavior.

If someone has kindly asked you to not do something, and you go out of your way to do it anyway, at least have the decency to accept you're not welcomed in their space and got kicked out rightfully. Own up to the fact you are in the wrong and back off instead of wasting everyone's time (yours included) with pettiness. It's that simple.

In fact if anyone sets a clear boundary, even one you don't understand, respect it. It's better for everyone involved.

Jango Fett' childhood on Concord Dawn

One of the things that I think bothers me the most about Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics series is how a 8 (or 10) years old Jango was told by his dad to repair a harvester

and then… left alone for who knows how long in the middle of a crop field?

I was born in the city so obviously I don’t know how life on a farm goes and all so forgive me my ignorance but:

A) Jango was introduced with a weapon in his hand, while he walked through his own family’s property

and was taught by father how to use a blaster at the age of 8 - 10.

At this point in the story, I think it is safe to assume Jango’s dad knew Mandalorians were in his field, as he brought food to Jaster and his men. So I assume he was contacted by comlink or he already talked in person with Jaster and he probably had some idea of what was going on - unless Jaster didn’t warn him about Death Watch on his trail, but I think this is pretty unlikely, as the Mandalorians stayed hidden in the field, instead of coming to Fett’s house.  

So there is a reason to think that leaving a kid alone in the middle of the field was not the smartest idea.

B) Jango has never been any technology genius or even that good with it in sources? His jetpack was repaired by a droid whose main job was to take care of little Boba on Kamino. I’m pretty sure Jango as a Mandalorian Merc was capable of maintaining his armor, weapons and ship but if the harvester was so important to put back into use - and I assume this is the case, as Fett’s parents were usually described as simple farmers and the first part of comics clearly represents the season of summer (childhood) and this was very likely grain harvest time  - then I would not pick a kid to do the job, unless the kid was Anakin Skywalker who could fix all kind of machinery, as it was his specific gift. Jango though? I’m not so sure about his 8-10 year old self’ skills.

Of course, the harvester’s problem could be a simple matter but then why not send Arla, Jango’s older sister (14 years old) to either do the job, or help Jango to speed up the repairs? Not saying Arla did not have her own share of duties and all (unless the kids were treated unfair, as Arla did not hold/use a gun against the invaders

but that could be just matter of her being too terrified or there could be not enough guns which is why only the mother was armed), but considering how the comics implies that Jango’s dad, mother and Arla were at home when he was working during sunny (if not hot) day, in the middle of a field, no shadow, repairing a vehicle bothers me a lot. 

And sure, on Concord Dawn living on farm could be just that tough even for kids, but looking at AotC novel (that admittedly does not mention Jango’s time with Mandalorians at all) 

Other than that, though, this was just a  job,  well  paying  and  easy enough. Financially, he couldn't have asked for more,  but  more  important, only the Kaminoans could have given him Boba - not just a son,  but  an  exact replica. Boba would give Jango the pleasure of seeing all that he might have become had he grown up with a loving and caring father, a mentor  who  cared enough to criticize, to force him to perfection.

or

This, then, was Jango Fett's greatest reward, right here, sitting  with his son, his young replica, sharing quiet moments.   Quiet moments within the tumult that had been Jango Fett's entire life, surviving the trials of the Outer Rim alone  practically  from  the  day  he learned to walk. Each trial  had  made  him  stronger,  had  made  him  more perfect, had honed the skills that he would now pass along  to  Boba.  

and old source material like outdated starwars.com’s databank entry:

Fett all but disappeared from bounty hunting circles as he took time to raise his son. He sought to experience what his life might have been like had he been raised by a caring guardian.

I can’t help but wonder about Jango’s childhood before the Mandalorians showed up.

So far my research showed, only Fact Files v.3 #14 mentioned he had "as idyllic a life as could be while making a living off the land, in close family unit with his mother, father and sister, Arla"

which gives some hope Jango's childhood although tough, was a relative happy one.

[Just to be clear here: I don’t think Jango’s biological family was by any means pathological, I just think Concord Dawn is a pathological place as this planet's record is not the best when it comes to people's backstories.]

im sorry but luke would absolutely pull the ‘singing at you with my guitar’ stunt on din after getting some misguided advice from force ghost anakin- who was like “it worked on your mother:)” because that’s absolutely something he would have done too and none of the skywalkers have ever had game ever- and din just sits there confused but patient while luke sings at him for three minutes and afterwards he’s just like “babe??? what the fuck??? was that a jedi thing???” and luke immediately just full-body chucks his guitar away and is like “yup, yup and now that’s it’s done i never have to do it again let’s pretend that didn’t happen okay?!” and dins just left even more confused cause honestly? he was kinda diggin it

[Satine recording a video for her holotok account]

Satine: This, this is the only boys will be boys that I'll accept.

Satine: Ben, what are you showing me right now?

Obi-wan, pointing at his datapad: It's my advent calendar.

Satine: Um.. and what advent calendar are you getting?

Obi-wan: Its the English tea Shop advent calendar.

Obi-wan, vissibly excited: It has 13 types of tea.

Satine: 13 types of tea.

Obi-wan: I can have a different cup of tea everyday for 13 days.

Satine: And thats making you very exited?

Obi-wan, smilling: They are festive blends

Rewatched Practice Makes Perfect today and like...once again floored by even when Anakin's being hard on her he is trying sooo hard to be good to Ahsoka. The way his voice rises and he's basically pleading with her to understand that he is trying to help her in the only way he knows how...

The pain of watching Attack of the Clones in order to see Obi-Wan with long hair, but also having to deal with Whiny Angsty Kinda Creepy Teenager Anakin

[thephilosophersapprentice]

I think Kaladin Stormblessed has every right to bitchslap Anakin Skywalker.

Anakin did a lot of terrible stuff completely independently and of his own free will; among others, he murdered an entire family of sandpeople. Even if he was provoked, he attacked people who wouldn't have been involved and that's messed up (and the fact that they kidnapped and tortured Shmi is both contrived and really racist on Lucas' part--it's way too similar to propaganda that was used against Native Americans.) You could argue Palpatine was manipulating Anakin, but ultimately he's responsible for his own actions. He had maybe two nightmares about Padme dying and then turned evil with absolutely zero evidence Palpatine could actually help Padme. And then he slaughtered pretty much the only family he had left (the Jedi were a family!)

Meanwhile Kaladin was being actively tortured every night for weeks, had multiple people he had sworn to protect even though personally he disliked them murdered in front of him just to get to him, or to try to push him toward being a hypocrite, and then had one of his closest friends murdered. And he didn't go on a wilful killing spree, he killed one person who was actually a threat.

Kaladin deserves to tell Anakin that Anakin has the moral backbone of a limp piece of rhubarb.
