Something I think everyone forgets about the clones from time to time, as said in ‘Attack of the Clones’ by Lama Su “They are totally obedient, taking any order without question. We modified their genetic structure to make them less independent then the original host”

Couple that, with the chips, and the average Clone trooper like Cody (listen I know he’s not average but I’m making a point here), would stand no chance countering orders he knows makes no sense & is wrong.

We see how hard Rex had to physically and mentally fight just to not shoot at Ahsoka for a few seconds.

And that’s another reason why they are called “The Bad Batch” too, troopers who don’t file reports, troopers more in line with the attitude of “the original host” Jango Fett. Pretty sure they weren’t created to be “more docile” like the majority.

(Lama Su literally said that of Boba “pure genetic replication no tampering to make it more docile” implying the clones as a whole are…)

So yeah even I’ve joked about it but in all fairness, the clones who killed all those Jedi really didn’t have a chance to fight back.

The Heart of a Jedi

It is a common belief in the galaxy that the Jedi are not permitted to love. Silently, some people mourn the children given to the Jedi, believing they will be brainwashed to hide their emotions and be unable to love. Disdainfully, some parents who don't wish to give their children to the Order claim that their children will never know love if they are taken in by the Order.

But love is a word with many connotations. How can a Jedi affirm or deny such accusations when they may be working with widely different definitions of the same word? When beings can mean any number of disparate emotions, many compatible with their way or life and many others contradictions of their code, values and vows?

The Jedi do not claim love is forbidden to them. How could they, with what love means to them? Saying love is allowed is misleading, and saying it's encouraged severely understates how important love is to them.

Love is essential, central to a Jedi's life. One cannot be a Jedi if they are devoid of love.

The Jedi do not claim that love is forbidden to them, as they share an ideal of kindness and compassion for all forms of life.

How could they strive towards this without love, as they understand it? Not affection, necessarily, for a Jedi must be compassionate even towards those they dislike. Rather, a deep respect for life, an attempt to understand it and its connections, and an endless drive to reduce suffering where they can.

That, to a Jedi, is love.

A Jedi must love everybody. They love the starving, the abused and the slaves of the galaxy, because they need their help. They love pirates, slavers, and corrupt politicians, when they dislike and want to stop them.

They even love the Sith.

But for many beings in the galaxy, that is not enough. For many beings in the galaxy, that is not love. And as long as the Jedi reject the cruel thing the galaxy calls love, that grasps and steals and demands to own, long as the Jedi accept the inevitability of death, the futility of holding on to what is not meant to be held, there will be those that call the Jedi loveless.

How sad, a Jedi would say, to be unable to conceive love without cruelty.

As I watched the final episode of tbb, many things stood out to me, but one in particular was when Nala Se was leaving Omega for the final time.. you can obviously see they both have some emotional connection to one another, but Nala Se doesn't even offer a hug before departing.. either this shows the Kaminoans are heartless, or they just simply don't show emotion or love physically (my personal vote goes toward the latter, as Nala Se clearly cares for Omega).

Ofc this is just one Kaminoan, but I get the sense many wouldn't be very touchy-feely / emotionally intelligent / or generally open to the idea of softening their hearts. Imo this is cultural and social as well as tied into the economy they have (ahem, capitalism). The heightened consumerism, greed, and the ache to continue profiting at the expense of others.. it often overpowers the will to do the right thing.

idk, just some food for thought

We all need some time away in nature 😌

Heh look at the size of this weird umbrella plant.

These plants make me feel really small… 😳

Hmm… wonder what’s in this hole…. It's nice. I think I’ll stay here for a while.

Safety Briefing

Also on AO3 @whumptober-archive - day 29: troubled past resurfacing @clonefandomevents - Coruscant Guard bingo: GAR versus Corries @clonefandomevents - 501st bingo: flashbacks

For a long silent minute, Fox just looks at him.

“Usually, I tell GAR transfers to follow contested territory protocols and put them on street patrols, and that’s enough to keep them alive as they learn our rules. But you’re a mutie and a Captain. So I think you’ll understand when I say we are closer to Kamino SOP.

“Don’t stand out, don’t draw attention. Ensure that everything you do is perfect and without fault. Know that sometimes that’s still not enough, and all you can do is endure until they lose interest.

“Welcome to the Coruscant Guard, Captain Rex.”

Fun fact: if you watch Hevy closely during Clone Cadets, you can see that he tends to shoot with his mouth open

I don't talk enough about Jelly.

Jelly who wasn't the oldest of his batch, but took on the responsibilities of an older sibling anyway.

Jelly who was studious and athletic, and who could learn anything within a day and then help his batchers learn those same things if they were lagging behind.

Jelly who knew Geoduck and Crayfish deserved patience because they had issues they kept to themselves out of fear, so he pushed them to look for solutions that worked for them.

Jelly who was Conch's tube-twin, and who loved his twin so very dearly, but chose to focus on Sponge because he knew Conch could succeed of his own merit while the batch baby was struggling heavily due to pressures from both the kaminoans and the trainers.

Jelly who only ever wanted his batch to stay together, but knew that wouldn't be possible because of outside intervention, so he made a choice that cost him his life.

Jelly who always chose kindness and who was repulsed by needless cruelty...

5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundup: Galaxy's Longest Naps

Since we've got a New Year coming up soon, have some fics where a character (or characters) woke up to the future. Which they mostly manage by being frozen Winter Solider style for years and years.

Ner Morut (AO3) - "In one universe, a single clone medic wakes from decades in cryo-stasis to learn that he is the last surviving Fett clone. In another, kinder universe, a Mandalorian bounty hunter finds his stasis pod and brings him to Boba Fett, Daimyo of Tatooine."

A New Purpose, A New Experience (AO3) - "The surviving Alpha batch are put into stasis. They are never drawn out of it. Not until, decades later, one Mandalorian in pure-Beskar armour and his little green foundling stumble on Kamino and deem it a good place to lie low for a while."

Pariah (AO3) - "When Revan asked for those willing to defy the Council and join the war effort, Tel traded her robes for armor and cast aside the Order with every intention to defend the innocent and restore peace to the galaxy. She expected the violence - the death and the destruction it wrought - but she did not expect to witness the aftermath some thousands of years later. Stranded amidst a now unfamiliar galaxy, Tel has but one goal: to uncover how she found herself four thousand years in the future and how to return to her own time."

I believe the world is burning to the ground (oh well, I guess we're gonna find out) (AO3) - "Elisabet lives AU through the events of Horizon Forbidden West"

A Lightkeeper in the Dark (AO3) - "Aloy finds the Alphas to be hidden deep inside GAIA Prime sleeping in cryo-pods. Awakening them with the help of GAIA, the Alphas are introduced to the world they created."

Bonus: Tony Stark Meets an Extremely Unimpressed Time Traveler, or, Thomas Barrow Makes a Surprisingly Good 21st Century Butler (AO3) - "In which Thomas Barrow has a little trouble getting home from the pub, is generally unimpressed with many aspects of the 21st century, never thought of himself as a conservative dresser before, and may or may not be falling in lust with his new employer."

The Bad Batch creators making Crosshair suffer more every time he appears:

Good old Clone Trooper Clank!

[clonememesfrikyeah]

Imagine cybertronians (transformers) were relatively human sized and in the Star Wars universe during the clone wars. It would be a tough fight, like you got a bunch of several million year old sentient robots with abilities on one side, and several million beef cakes on steroids that have known nothing but droid killing their entire lives. Each side has their edges for sure, like a cybertronian sees their buddy get their neck snapped bare handed by some squishy human, and a clone watches their brother get murked by artillery they’ve never seen before. It would be an epic battle

[darth-kote]

the beef between hunter and crosshair once the latter returns to the squad lives in my mind rent free forever, and no, I will not elaborate
