OMEGA SQUAD T^T

love all the styling choices you made OP and this hairstyle for Darman is going to be living in my brain 24/7

Here’s my “I haven’t read these books in 10+ years" interpretations of Omega Squad circa Triple Zero! I may well come back and redesign them as I re-read them, I love them very much <3

Left to right: Fi, Darman, Niner, Atin Mando'a: di’kute = idiots, ne’johaa = shut up

[Image description below]

Omega Squad from the Star Wars: Republic Commando books. Interpretations are as follows: Fi has short hair with shaved sides, with zig zag patterns shaved in, a scar on his temple at his right ear. Darman has chin length undercut pulled into a ponytail, sides shaved, a small scar cutting through his left eyebrow. Niner has long hair tied into a bun, a thin streak of gray hair where there’s a scar at the right side of his hairline. Atin has a shaved head and a deep cut scar from under his right eye, over his nose, and stopping at the left side of his jaw. They all wear black katarn armor.

Fi holds a hand under his chin as he grins with his eyes shut, eyebrows raised, and a sparkle in front of his face. He says, “You’re all just jealous of my beauty.” Darman places a hand on his shoulder with an unconvinced smile and says, “Fi, I can assure you that’ll never be the case.”

Atin, also unimpressed, has his hand to his mouth as he calls out, “You’re all beautiful di’kute” (di’kute means idiots in mando’a). Niner has a lopsided grin and he touches his gauntlet as he says, “Alright, ne’johaa, I’m calling Kal” (ne’johaa means shut up in mando’a).

Taught myself how to use the animation feature on CSP just to do this (inspired by this post by @alabyte)

it's unpolished af but idc i love them

[mamuzzy-creates-stuff]

Atin has enough of Fi's osik. :D Taking place during the scene where they infiltrated the lab through the gdan tunnels.

We were at ATLA Concert with Riduur yesterday and I got inspired by the Secret Tunnel song.

"Are you fit, soldier?" Zey said. "Fit to fight, sir." He sat down next to Darman and assumed the same ramrod posture, glancing at him briefly in acknowledgment. So this was their fourth man. They were a squad again—numerically, anyway. Omega Squad.

You have to see the funny side of things in the army. I think they have a real sense of humor in Defense Procurement, too. "So," I ask. "How long ago did you put in a request for black stealth armor?" "Seven standard months," says Darman, staring out the gunship's crew bay onto an unbroken plain of snow. White snow. The freezing wind is whipping flurries of it into the open bay. "When we got back from Qiilura." "And now they issue it to us? To do a raid on Fest? The whole planet's covered in snow from pole to pole." I can hear the gunship pilot laughing over the comlink circuit. He can't resist it. "Want to borrow my armor? It's nice and white." Yes, they've deployed us in black Katarn armor. It'll take a direct hit from laser cannon to put a dent in us, but it would be nice to have the comfort of camouflage when we hit the ground.

Republic Commando Headcanons

cause I miss the characters already…

-Ordo and Besany have three kids. Idk what their names are, but all three are dang cute, and absolutely love their mom and dad. (Got this from Ny saying Ordo would be a good dad and now I want it to happen…)

-Corr proposed to Jilka drunkenly in a bar on Kyrimorut. He said “hey, let’s get married.” Jilka, also drunk, said yes. The next morning he woke up, sober, and asked if she still wanted to, and she said yes.

-Fi jokingly said that Parja should make a droid to write down all his thoughts to turn them into a book. Parja actually liked that idea and now has a small droid writing down all of Fi’s jokes to surprise him with on Life Day.

-Since Kanan and Hera had Jacen in canon, Twi’lek’s and humans can now have kids. Atin and Laseema have two little girls.

-Niner is doesn’t have kids, but he is basically the favorite Uncle to Atin and Fi’s kids, and Kad. He shows a much softer side when with his nieces and nephews.

-Darman and Niner get to Mandalore and Darman lives with his son happily ever after.

-THEY REVERSE THE AGING

That's my vod from Omega squad, Atin! :D

The number of fucks he has to give is pretty much in the negative in this Galaxy far far away! ;^p

Okay guys! I can't believe I can say this, but the commandos are finally done!

It took me soo long to finish this set I nearly given up the whole project. But here they are, glorious soldiers!

Can we talk about how smooth Scorch is? Like he is my pride and joy. And Sev? The prettiest boy ever. I'm so happy it's finally done and I can continue the project. I already started the Null boys and next week I will start the bad batch as well (Echo earned to be the only one with two kind of helmet because mother deserves it).

So I hope I can finish it before the end of the 3 season!

Omega Squad!!

Drawing practice for expressions/features off the same slightly modified sketch base. They all have the same face, but I think I managed to make them distinct and identifiable anyway!

Who's who under the cut :)

MEME-MONDAY

[verpineshatterrifle]

repcomm but make it the 2003 genndy style

i think who's who is pretty obvious for the most part, but i also drew post-501st besany because i firmly believe she chops her hair off, gets a face scar in a bar fight that she started because someone insulted one of her brothers (probably fi), and gets armor (and an axe)

[galaxyofjedi]

Re reading republic commando I love this man so much he knows his brothers so well 😭😭😭

[gh0st-c0mpany]

I'm ugly sobbing that all of Kad's Beskar'gam comes from his family! He doesn't even care if he looks like shit! He loves his Aliitt!

[totally-not-your-babe]

I just finished Hard Contact and started reading Triple Zero (I don't know why the Hungarian version called Coruscant btw) AND OH MY FORCE I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THESE BOOKS ALREADY!!!

Omega Squad my loves

I have mixed feeling about Etain sometimes BUT I adore her (why did Karen had to say she wasn't attractive in every two pages I can't understand tho)

Fi just wants to drink some beer and it's the most relatable thing ever

DARMAN MISSING ETAIN

The Omega's getting the black armours when they have mission on a snowy planet... like REALLY

The Boba-sleeping-in-Jango's-arms part MY HEART

My thoughts on Imperial Commando and Republic Commando as a whole

RC

So, I started and finished Imperial Commando on an eight hour plane ride last night. This means I am done with the series overall and this will be me going over it and the characters. But let’s discuss my thoughts on this book first

Needless to say, I was disappointed. It’s not that it was bad or anything, it just wasn’t as good as Order 66 in my opinion, and, of course, even though it’s the last book of the series, the series was left incomplete, leaving me a bit disappointed in the end.

The author obviously planned on writing more Republic Commando books after this one, with how the Jusik and Arla plot line was set up, how the age reversing was going, and how Darman planned to kill the Jedi, but obviously, the sequel was never made, and thus, the overall story feels incomplete. But, enough about that. Let’s talk about RC as a whole.

Oh, and I’ll be completely omitting Karen Traviss from this conversation. She as a person has nothing to do with the plot or characters, which are the things I will be judging today. If you have a problem with me talking about the actual book and not ranting about the author who wrote it, then too bad. 

Let’s start off at the beginning. With Omega. Omega Squad was definitely a pleasant surprise for me. I enjoyed each of their characters and liked how most of them found peace in the end. That being said, I do have some notes.

The biggest is Atin. I feel like after Triple Zero he kind of fell into the background besides when he married Laseema in Order 66. (And his relationship with her fell into the background as well) And he felt practically invisible in Imperial Commando. And I get why Niner and Dar were more in focus for that story, but it would’ve been nice to see some Atin. Also, he’s he only OG Omega member who’s POV we never got to see. 

Next up, Niner. Niner got two POV’s in the series, in both the first and last books. And those books were where I enjoyed him the best. Niner was a solid leader for the squad, and was loyal to them through and through, especially in his friendship with Darman. He didn’t fade as much as Atin, but I still wish he had been a little more prevalent throughout the series.

Then we have Fi. Fi is my favorite from the squad still, and I love seeing him whenever he appears. His one liners are great, and to be honest, he’s kind of the opposite of Niner here. He was very prevalent for books 2-4, but fell into the background in the first and last book. He still appeared more than Atin in book 5, but I barely recall even seeing Parja. (Which was sad cuz I loved the two of them together)

The last of the OG Omega, Darman. Dar is definitely a strong character, and he has a very heavy theme of being used, manipulated, and lied to throughout the books. By the Kaminoans, the Jedi, and even Kal, Etain, and Niner at times! His mental resolve to protect Kad at all costs is what is barely keeping him together after Etain died, and while he does resolve to hunt Jedi at the end of the book, it’s a nice full circle moment to see that while Darman thought his one true purpose at the beginning of the series was to be a soldier, he now sees he was destined for a greater one all along. Being a father. 

Next let’s move on to Ordo, Corr, the Jedi, and Mandos. We got a LOT to cover here.

Ordo- Ordo is definitely one of my favorites. Him and Besany are cute and great and I love both of them. I like all the moments he gets throughout the series. However, I do think he was focused on a little too heavily. While I do wish some of the other Nulls like Jaing, Prudii, or Kom’rk had been given some time to shine, I still loved Ordo and I think he’s great. (That being said, I will be omitting the rest of the Nulls because I really only know enough to talk about Mereel and A’den for a couple sentences)

Corr- A really sarcastic, witty, and funny guy that did not deserve what he got. Losing both of his hands was tragic, but, with lost flesh, he gained a new family in Clan Skirata. He was a nice addition to Omega after Fi had to leave, and I liked him a lot. (He and Jilka were pretty cute in book 5)

Etain- So… Etain. I like her, I really do. But sometimes, there are some choices that I cannot get behind. (Like how she purposefully went behind Dar’s back to get pregnant in Triple Zero) But even still, she is a good person, and she just wanted to be a good mother to Kad and live a happy life with Darman, and she didn’t deserve to meet the end she got.

Bardan- An all around solid character. I liked his development from bright eyed Padawan to rugged ex Jedi Mandalorian, and I think his sense of responsibility to Clan Skirata and also to Kad is very important. He made sure to put others before himself no matter the consequences, a quality with several others lack. 

Walon- A hardened Mando bounty Hunter with good intentions at heart. (Probably). I mean, he did save Jilka, lend Kal credits, and he also did try to find Sev. He cares. Even if it is in his own twisted way sometimes. (Still, what he did to Atin was brutal)

Besany- Love her. Since the beginning, she was all about standing up for the clones and their rights. She cared about them as people and not as property, and she saw their differences as well, and what made them unique, and she really does love Ordo, and I think the two of them are very sweet.

Kal- Oh boy. Here we go. I know I’m gonna get hate for this. Here I go. Brace yourselves. If you need tissues to cry, grab them. 

I like Kal Skirata.

…

…

…

Okay. I’ll continue. I am not going to say I agree with him on everything, and I’m not going to pretend he is a saint or anything. But I like his character. He cares about his family, and he does make mistakes. Everybody does. The problem is everybody has gotten so used to pointing out Kal’s every mistake that they refuse to acknowledge anything he did right. And guess what? Kal makes mistakes. He’s flawed. He’s not perfect. And that’s the point. Characters are flawed. People are flawed. They aren’t perfect. And neither is Kal. And HE ADMITS THAT IN BOOK 5. In fact, NY ADMITS IT TOO! She acknowledges that Kal taking over the Nulls and not seeing the similarities to the Jedi taking children is arrogant! She acknowledges that! And Kal acknowledges that and his flaws later in the book! Kal is arrogant, yes, but he sees that! He knows it! So before you go around saying how Kal thinks he is some saint god or whatever. He doesn’t. And there is proof of that in the books.

So, uhh, yeah. Overall, I think the Republic Commando series was good. There were some things that definitely could have been improved upon, but I liked it. I liked the story, and I liked the characters, so yeah.

Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
