AU where Mand’alor Din meets Leia through politics before he even sees Luke again and oh boy
Leia, who’s lived and breathed politics for every single day of her life sees this guy who’s clearly new to being a head of state and whose advisors are all pulling in different directions while he just tries his best and is like “Hey dude? I know we’re sorta on opposite sides of negotiating a treaty here but, do you need help? A crash-course in ruling a nation maybe?” and Din’s like “Oh thank GOD yes please, but no I’m not gonna join the New Republic that’d be crazy”
they are now unstoppable besties
Leia notices that her new bestie sometimes makes mention of a kid? He adopted a kid and then he lost the kid somehow and it’s extremely sad. She assumes the poor kid must’ve died. Very tragic. You can hang out with my horrible toddler if you ever miss that life
Din gathers that his new bestie has a brother who runs a school for specially gifted kids or something and doesn’t com as much as Leia thinks he should. That sucks. You can hang out with me and pretend we’re brother sister if you ever miss that life
The dots are never connected until at some point Luke appears in the political arena for some event at which the Senate thought it would be picturesque to have their Jedi present
Leia is like “Hey Din this is the brother I mentioned, Luke Skywalker, he’s a Jedi Master”. Din is like THE DARK MAN TOOK MY SON
Leia, now rapidly putting the pieces together, in the same inflection in which Griffin Mcelroy said “the same blastoise”: “THE SAME KID”
obviously Leia tears Luke a new one for not just spiriting her new bestie’s child away but also running off with Prince Grogu of Mandalore, Son of the Mand’alor
“You can’t just DO these things you can’t just steal the child of a neutral system’s ruler, do you know what an awkward situation you’re putting the New Republic in?? Din is very precious to me now and you’re over here trying to kick off Mando-Jedi Wars 2: This Time It’s Personal, you are killing me, you are killing your sister”
Luke who lives in an abandoned temple on a nowhere moon and has no idea what’s going on anywhere: “What”
Leia is by this point hitting him with Yoda’s stick that she just made appear out of nowhere and demanding he apologize profusely and let Din see his son before this becomes an intergalactic incident and she does Not give a Shit about the Jedi Code. Luke is like god I guess, please step this way Mr Mand’alor
2 weeks of Din reuniting with Grogu at the temple later Luke appears to Leia again like “I have fallen in love with the Mandalorian.”
task failed successfully
“He’s just so gentle with Grogu and he fights so good and he has a moustache under the helmet I SAW IT. Did you know. He is so strong and safe he is doing his best. His armor is so shiny and the Force sings when he is near. Our destinies are entwined. I just want to get dicked down again”
Leia’s like fuckin marry him I GUESS
Han started fucking Boba Fett like 8 bullet points ago
