#breaking my fingers more for jango ♥

[dukeoftheblackstar]

"A burnt child loves the fire" by Oscar Wild is one of the closest quote I have for Jango. And omg, I'm not supposed to be on Jango fever, but...

Scorched. Man was scorched from the day he was born. And I'm talking about that farm life. I'm not about that life to say growing up as a farm boy is shit, but part of it is, you know? You get up with little time to play because you need to work — help mam and pap in the field, watch the sibs, keep an eye out for pests, keep an eye out for thieves, die in the sun, die in the weather, die in the fact that you have to be on top of your game if you want to keep food on the table and bask in the simplicity of life while the world evolves around you.

I bet you 2 kidneys that boy dreamed more than just farm life. I bet you, that no matter how proud he is of being a Fett, part of that boy dreamed big. Part of him was natively adventurous because of how he efficiently lead the True Mandalorians and Jaster to safety when cornered. Part of that boy was aware of the chaotic galaxy but had never, not in his wildest dreams, ever prepared for the childhood trauma that was so short-endured (him witnessing the demise of his family) because he had to act. Act quick to survive, act quick to get a firm grasp on core memory being so shit.

We all now the story. I've also posted several Jango trashposts here, but let's focus on comparing him to the clones.

I'm impartial to the comparison that Jango had a few years of good shit before the trauma hits versus clones being made and bred for death and suffering. This is that fine line wherein society debates whether meat consumption is sin or not.

Breeding.

If you breed free-range chickens to lay eggs, is it morally acceptable to eat eggs?

If you breed eggs in harsher conditions, is it m orally acceptable to eat eggs?

Bear in mind consumption is not for leisure, but survival. This analogy equates to:

If you clone clones under a secured, safe, and tended environment, is it morally acceptable to use them for war in seek of peace?

If you clone clones under a harsher environment (decommissioning imperfect clones at the get go) is it morally acceptable to 'recycle' them and use them for war in seek of peace?

Honestly, I don't know. This is also like Anakin's call on Papa Palps using the Zillo Beast for enhancement. There morals remain a forever conundrum in every aspect of life.

So the question between the comparison is:

Is Jango better off having endured a little bit of his good in his life? Good enough to "pardon" how he will constantly doom himself to his own narrative whether he likes it or not?

Or would it have been better to just be made for that purpose with no basis of comparison? To just aimlessly want a better life without knowing what a better life is?

And then there's the fact of the farmer and the egg (idk why I'm using so much shit here but I gots no coffee yet so pardon me).

Does it hurt more being the farmer who is technically the hand of god here having to sell his prized eggs, chickens, produce as opposed to taking care of them free-range and shit?

Or does it hurt more being the egg, chicken, produce having to live a life knowing death is inevitable?

The farmer gets to do it. Over and over and over again. Jango has to relive the fact that he had sold himself to the cycle that will haunt him until he dies and he does. He dies. The pain, however never ends, because the fact exists that Jango lives through each clone made. Each clone with a different interpretation of their demise without fully experiencing what Jango went through. It's like no past trauma but hello present future trauma (clones) vs (jango) past trauma, present trauma, future trauma.

My brain is too scrambled recently to make this a proper post but is anyone else getting Jango VIBES from these???
