Tales of the Jedi initial thoughts

Ahsoka's dad is so cute i love him

A lot of what Pav-ti was saying to Ahsoka lines up with Jedi teachings and that was just really neat

All of the simple, unquestioning forgiveness in Justice???? like "i'm being treated well and these people are suffering i can't blame them for kidnapping me" and "she is hungry, many would do the same"???? loved that

i'm choosing to take qui-gon's hair as him growing out his Padawan Cut(TM) but what happened to your undertunic, sir

Seeing the repeating themes that lead Dooku to leave the order, thinking that he could take matters into his own hands and do what was best for everyone is really cool. showing the roots of his fall as idealism corrupted by pride.

mace is the obi-wan to dooku's qui-gon and i'm loving it

qui-gon is a coruscant native????

the exchange dooku and qui-gon had about obi-wan was adorable ("you're always singing his praises") but also single-handedly smashed all of my headcanons about padawan obi-wan and dooku

there are so very many parallels between dooku and anakin's falls but i don't have time to unpack that right now

that scene where yaddle raised the door with the sun behind her and the force theme playing gave me GOOSEBUMPS it was so good

not fond of the "dooku has a point about the jedi being lapdogs of a corrupt senate" thing they had going on with yaddle but i will excuse it

obi-wan's hair has me a little confused on the timeline of Practice Makes Perfect, ngl

anakin is late for everything is canon confirmed

background caleb and depa!!! adorable caleb being so impressed by ahsoka!!!

anakin stealing obi-wan's sarcastic comments adahfjsakdfhjk

rex being all concerned about ahsoka and jesse apologizing for hitting her ---

the entire available disaster lineage was in there watching ahsoka's test i love it

so what i'm getting from Resolve is that ahsoka and rex went their separate ways bc rex wanted to fight and ahsoka didn't????

i just,,,, REALLY love bail organa, man

[fulcrum-7567]

rewatching tales of the jedi episode one rn and like. please remind me never to cross a togruta. between pav-ti’s roar, the way she’s fighting the tiger thing, they take their children hunting for their first birthday, ahsoka just in general, like??? togruta are terrifying in the very best way???

[beasanfi1997]

Maybe Ahsoka's parents didn't see the humans for all life and they want to see How look it's alike the master of their daughter was. Maybe in the original Trilogy of Star Wars, they realize that the master of their daughter Ahsoka was a Human and his name was Anakin. Nak-Il, the Father of Ahsoka, was afraid that Anakin night to hurt them because he Is a Human and he Heard that the humans are Dangerous for the Aliens but Pav-Ti see that Anakin Is not a Dangerous, She notices his innocence face and his Blue eyes and so She touches his face gently and She notice his Scar in his right Eye, in his left cheek and in his bald head. Pav-Ti didn't see an Human more handsome like Anakin, then She and Nak-Il notices Ezra another Human but more younger than Anakin. Pav-Ti studies Ezra noting that he had hair in his head and beard in his chin and a two scars in his left cheek and even the color of his skin that It was tan respect Anakin's skin that It was pale pink. Nak-Il and Pav-Ti realize that the humans had difference color of their skin and their hair respect their species.

You see? The Aliens want to see How look are alike the humans and they realize that they have difference color of skin and hair and because the humans had Always the important role of the Science Fiction because they shows at the Aliens their humanity

What is considered child mistreatment in Mandalorian culture (legends)?

I was inspired by this post but I didn't want to ruin a mood with my AcKcHuYaLlY vibes so I made a separate post about it.

While I agree with a sentiment of Cuy'val Dar should have rioted seeing children being mistreated, given they are a very heavily family and child centered culture, I've just recently read a few quotes from Republic Commando which made me wonder...

what is considered child mistreatment in their culture?

Because training children to be soldiers are not one. It is a perfectly normal thing to do for them.

What you will read here about: -- Potential reasons why the Cuy'val Dar didn't refuse the job -- Relationship of a Mando parent and their child: How Munin Skirata adopted Kal and with it giving him a predetermined path of life -- Little detour to the topic of how modernday parents don't include children in the household chores -- Pav-Ti and Ahsoka -- Walon Vau and Dred Priest's approach -- Kal Skirata's approach of training -- Little about Mandos and Jedi -- Sorry (not really), people. I still love Kal. -- I won't tag this as anti/pro/critical fandom fuckery. Only a Sith deaIs in absolutes.

Rest is under the cut.

Why would Cuy'val Dar accept such assignment in the first place?

So why didn't they say no? 1. Loyalty and Respect for Jango Fett 2. In need of money 3. Needed a place to hide 4. It could be HONOUR: If a mando bounty hunter accepts a job, they won't back down from it. That's why they are the best. A mandalorian either completes the job or they die in the process (see: Hard Contact). 5. Child soldiers are nothing out of place.

But the latter is debatable, depending on which bounty hunter you ask. Kal was horrified when he was presented with the facts. Scene from Triple Zero, where Kal realizes what Jango is expecting of him:

Jango Fett indeed didn't tell them the whole truth. I'm pretty sure there would have been people who would have accept it anyway. But I'm also sure most of them were conned this way.

We even know Kal's reason of accepting the job.

He didn't have any outside ties anymore that required his physical presence, so at this point he could just accept a decade long assignment.

And when he met the Nulls, he gave himself a purpose out of this nightmare. Raising these children as Mandalorians.

But where this is come from? From Kal's own buir.

Another quote about how Munin adopted Kal.

Awfully practical people. But also, compassionate. Kal is guided by the same compassion as his buir.

Overprotected children of our modern age

Family centric and child centric views are really distorted today which is about overprotecting kids from literally everything. Even from basic household chores: a parent who is too tired and impatient for their child constantly making mistakes during learning a task, so they simply take it out from the child's hand and doing it instead, because teaching them comes with much more mess to clean up, therefor more work for the parent. Children won't learn that helping out around the house can be a quality time with the parent, because most parents don't consider being together with their children a quality time. This later leads to those awful fights between a teenager who never helps around the house on their own only when asked/ordered. Children are glorified exotic pets, one task from a bucket list or worst, investments. But part of the family? Less likely. Not unconditionally.

PAV-TI AND AHSOKA

If you think about Ahsoka's backstory in the Tales of the Jedi, her mother also brought her on the hunt and made her look when she skinned the animal. Teaching her that death is a part of life and even when they take resources from the nature, they should do it with respect. Pav-Ti was already teaching her to be a part of their small community.

I think Mando culture is the same: they involve their children in their profession from early age. Probably teaching your children how to kill for money is not exactly ethical by our earthling standards. Regardless, they do it together. Little mando'ade won't go to school, they spend their time with the family and learning skills they will need if they choose the same profession and lifestyle as their parents.

PRACTICES OF VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE CUY'VAL DAR

So that's why I think that even if the members of the Cuy'Val Dar had seconds thoughts, training child soldiers are nothing out of ordinary. I can't speak for the remaining non-mando trainers what was in their mind.

But when Dred Priest and Isabeth Beau started their own little figthing rings in the guise of "preserving the old ways", it was really considered fucky even among the other mando trainers Death Watch couple-goals: torture children together <3. Dred Priest despised the clone cadets and they actually died under his care and this is one of the reason why Mij Gilamar killed Priest later in the books.

Walon Vau wasn't introduced to mando values until he ran away from home as an adult, but his abusive upbringing shaped his worldview on how he trained the cadets. Strict codes and harsh punishments. He had his regrets of it later.

From O66, Walon Vau to Kal Skirata

Love has many shapes. Vau wanted them to survive because he loved them. But loving them and treating them good/bad is not the same.

We know about Kal that he taught by experience. He never gave an assignment to his cadets before he first showed them how to do it.

And then we have these notorious parts of him regarding the clones which can be interpreted so many ways but often used as the evidence as child abuse:

And this one also:

(sometimes I throw my brain outtaaa windoooOOooOooOow what people call abusive these days...)

What is my stance about this particular passage? I think he didn't abuse the clones. He wanted them to survive too. He wanted to make it easier for them which was really hard considering the circumstances. He wanted to be a father to the clones like Munin was to him.

We saw the differences between Omega Squad and Delta Squad. The Delta first left Walon Vau behind because they were ordered to do so. Delta left Sev behind because they were ordered to do so. As far as we know, no one deserted from the Empire from Vau's commandos. They remained loyal to the Republic/Empire. Darman could have been with his son and with Clan Skirata but he choose to remain with Niner in the Empire. He remained loyal not the empire, not even Kal Skirata but his brother. Just like Kal thaught them.

What makes them different from the jedi and at the same time so similiar?

The Jedi seek out force sensitive children to teach them how to control this power within them and make sure, they won't use it for personal gain. And later, when they grow up, they will do the same.

Mandos take pity over war orphans (usually that's the case), take them into their clan of soldiers and they teach them a profession and one day, they can do the same.

Both faction are doing it, guided by the same principle: COMPASSION.

Jedi are practicing compassion toward every living, while Mando compassion is just much more personal on the individual level.

Dialogue from Imperial Commando between Arligan Zey and Kal Skirata. I think this baby stealing prejudice comes from that force sensitive children are separated from their parents and all this goes against the family centric view of the mandalorians where family is above all and the children are only safe with their families.

In conclusion...

My personal take after this little research that Mando trainers didn't abuse children, not in their own mandalorian standards. I say this because of Dred Priest who was condemned for actually hurting his cadets, forcing them to fight against each other, and lots of them actually died.

After the failed experiences with the Nulls, the kaminoans and trainers didn't expose the clones to live rounds and bombs until so much later, that's why the commandos and Alpha-class ARCs feel much more balanced in their phyche.

I think Walon Vau abused his cadets but he justified it with love.

Kal made them to do horrible exercises and said a lot of shitty things to the clones (though I think it's kind of like when you call your cat a whore out of affection) but overall he tried to make their suffering bearable.

Mother and Daughter

Pav-ti and Ahsoka

[dalekofchaos]

Something I would add onto this is the inclusion of Kaeden and Miara and the Martez Sisters. like yeah, so much missed potential and they focus on the wrong things about Ahsoka.

Wish we got to see more of the Togruta in Star Wars
