yes, yes, boba fett finds it strange and uncomfortable when people can see his face and this is one of the major reasons he almost never removes his helmet (in the expanded universe anyway), but another factor that i think isn't explored nearly enough is just how much his helmet shapes how he sees the world. it grants him 360° vision, lets him interface with his weapon systems and slave I, and automatically dampens loud noises and dims bright lights. imagine going through the vast majority of your life seeing the world through that lens and then suddenly taking it away. removing his helmet for any significant length of time likely isn't just uncomfortable for him but downright disorienting.

Mandalorian Jetpacks

Happy Fett Friday! SO glad the lore now allows Mandalorian Jetpacks to fly for longer periods of time.

Even though I ❤️ playing Star Wars Bounty Hunter way back in the day, I absolutely HATED how you were granted only mere seconds of flight time before your jetpack would shut off & force you to land so that it could re-charge/ cool-off from overheating.

In Attack of the Clones, after Jango Fett eliminated Zam Wesell with a Saber Dart, his Jetpack allowed a very quick escape from Obi-Wan & Anakin. And it was a QUICK escape. Unlike in Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Jango didn't fly for a few seconds, then land to let his Jetpack recharge, then fly for a few more seconds, then land again, then fly a little bit more, then once again land, and then….

Hell, he never would have made it out of there if he had to do keep doing that slow-ass shit…

This is what happened. Jango took off. The sound of his Jetpack igniting drew the attention of Obi-Wan & Anakin. They observed Jango flying up higher & higher, furthering the distance between them so rapidly the Jedi realized that a pursuit at that point would be futile.

That's why it felt good to finally see Mandos airborne for extended periods. Throughout The Mandalorian TV series Boba Fett, Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, The Armorer & many other Mandalorians propelled themselves through the air & kicked shebs. During the Battle of Mandalore, it was so awesome to witness waves of Mandos that flew high above Mandalore, engage the Empire in battle & take back their homeworld. Because Mandalorians are stronger together....

5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundup: Reality TV Setting

Some fics where they participate in a reality television show.

By Any Other Name (AO3) - "Through some freak accident of the universe, Dabi has been invited to compete on The Bachelorette. Have they actually seen his face? Surprisingly yes, and they still want him. For this season they apparently need a ‘bad boy’ to both balance out the hero contestant (why in hell is Hawks involved?) and to trash talk the show in interviews to appeal to audiences who don’t like the scripting. Getting sent on a vacation away from his annoying bandmates to complain and eat as much free food as he wants? Sold."

Loose yourself (to the music) (AO3) - "A singing competition is something that Dabi would have normally dismissed, but the prospect of free food made him check it out. It gets him half a bag of chips, the start of a friendship with a giant of a woman, and a roof over his head. Now he just has to win round after round to keep it all as long as possible. Lucky him, being dramatic and hardworking is basically his motto."

From Messiest Bro to Hottest Hoe (AO3) - "Himura Touya got nominated for QueerEye by his siblings, gay chaos ensues"

More Than a Murderbot (AO3) - "The Fab Five head out for a rather unusual transport and research vessel to help their first-ever Sec Unit client learn how to take some time for self-care and feel like it has a place to belong."

The Consequences of Being Seen (AO3) - "Din Djarin is a bounty hunter desperately trying to make a few extra bucks by streaming his bounties on the holonet. Boba Fett is a veteran hunter with a cult following returning to the holos after 10 years out of the game. First, they run into each other on the opposite ends of a high-paying job. Then... things get interesting."

Bonus: Keeping Up With the Todorokis (AO3) - "Endeavor was one of the few heroes with such a high ranking and who has a family. Naturally, the public is interested in the lives of the famous Todoroki family. With such a cold image to the public, the agency decides that Endeavor has to do something to win people's love and popularity. Endeavor agrees, keeping in mind that the world will know the Todoroki's best kept secret. Todoroki Touya." Set to Private

Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Jango Fett & The Clones

Wanted to post this to show that during his origin story in the classic 2002 video game Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Jango Fett did indeed care about the Clones. Jango said he was "proud" of them; he even let this be known to his son Boba Fett.

(Unlike the in-universe narrative claiming Jango cared nothing about the Clones & the only Clone Jango ever cared about was Boba.)

In the following Cutscene Storyboards from Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Mandalorian Bounty Hunter (And Prime Clone Template) Jango Fett said his Clones were a damn fine Army, ready for battle. When Jango discussed this with Boba, Jango told him: "You shouldn't feel sorry for them. I don't. I feel…Proud."

And I❤️this from @fox-trot talking about Jango Fett & his concerns with the lives & treatment of the Clones….

Jango Fett consistently fought the Kaminoans over reconditioning/ decommissioning. In the early days he managed to convince the Kaminoans to change the expected standard, allowing for more leniency regarding deviations in physical appearance, speech patterns, behavior, temperament, etc. This saved many lives. He also regularly stepped in & rescued clones scheduled to be reconditioned for ‘aberrant’ behavior or mental health concerns. The Null ARCs & Delta Squad were saved from death because of his intervention. He also had a secret operation where he smuggled at-risk clones off of Kamino.

I am always putting my lack of knowledge about certain star wars lore into characters and Relmeva Nythan is no exception (oops). Adopted little sister of Amiliun, she was taken in by Mandalorians whose clan had been disgraced so long they really hadn't been around any others or living by much of a strong honour code - bitterness carried them through for generations instead of their failures being a sign to rededicate themselves to their honour. Relmeva saw this, surprisingly clearly for growing up in the middle of it, and said "No, I have honour and I want to be Mandalorian for real and I'll do what it takes to be recognized as such ok my own merits." Of course, she had to kind of... Make up Mandalorian stuff as she went, since there was never anyone willing or able to properly teach her

Her brother and childhood friend (turned brother in law) both chose to flee; Relmeva didn't mind the Empire so much, figuring she had a chance to set a positive example for others within it. There are certain people she won't kill, certain fights she'll only enter if she's sure there's a Good Side, but she also knows the value of consistency and a completed contract. You have to have a really compelling reason for her to go back on her word to an employer.

She doesn't fall for Torian because he teaches her about Mandalorian culture beyond the little things her family kept, but those conversations open them up to bonding more than they might have otherwise. Relmeva doesn't tell people her last name, not wanting her family to taint anything for her as she wins favour with more popular Mandalorians, but she does encourage Torian to redeem his own name (she can be a bit of a hypocrite as a treat). Torian is... Not super pleased when he finds out she hid that from him and why, but he certainly understands where she's coming from.

She maintains strong bonds with her brother and brother-in-law, and for all that those two constantly bump into each other Relmeva is the one who convinces them to finally truly talk. She believes in the importance of family and clan, after all. They are bound together by choice and shared pain, and she's not letting them lose that over silly things like which government is winning a war or who wanted to break up first. Her loyalty keeps the family together in the face of war and separation and informs the actions of her daughter, nephew, and their friends that eventually form the Alliance - a legacy she would never notice on her own, but one she'd be proud of.
