some clone wars s7 art!!! that siege of mandalore arc just-- 🤌 + maul being his unhinged self.

[betyoudidntcatchthat]

“that was echo’s voice. i know it!”

this may be small but do you realize how significant this is? i mean sure, echo gave his number in the transmission, but that’s not what rex told anakin. he said “that was echo’s voice.” not his number, his voice. rex and echo were so close he could recognize his brother by his voice even after having not heard it for months and despite the clones all having identical voices. he knew echo’s voice.

this also makes me wonder if rex ever had dreams about it, about all the men who died under his command and if he heard their screams and their cries and their voices in his sleep at night, never letting him forget the men he tried to protect but failed. you can’t save them all.

The Clone Wars: Season 7

By BloodMalk

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

I've said all of this stuff already but I'm pissed rn and it's therapeutic to type it out:

Maul's presence on Mandalore in TCW s7 is NOT a priority. The political situation on Mandalore, while shitty, has been the same for the civilian population since s5, with or without Maul there. Things can wait a bit.

Sure, capturing Maul is possibly time sensitive (since they don't know how long he'll be on-planet), but taking back Mandalore isn't. If Maul leaves before they show up the planet is just as easy to take. Bo-Katan is using his presence as an incentive because she doesn't have the necessary forces to win, whether or not he's there. The situation is only urgent for her because if Maul leaves then the Republic has no reason to help her cause. The situation is not urgent for Mandalore because, again, it's been the same for basically a year - Maul's presence has little impact on the people, his forces are the problem and they have never left.

The Republic didn't "refuse" to help after s5, they just had no more reason to. Almec is still legitimately Prime Minister (accepted by the people) and Mandalore is an independent sovereign system that has spent actual years refusing outside interference. The second Maul bails "helping" goes back to being called "invading".

Capturing Maul is also not even a priority to the Republic (Republic =/= Jedi Order) because Palpatine ordered the Jedi to stop bothering with him in s5. Officially Maul is 'just' a crime lord, and he's not allied with the Separatists or even attacking the Republic. It's well established in TCW that the Jedi don't have the manpower to deal with the underworld anymore. What's the point of dismantling black markets and crime rings if the planet gets bombed into oblivion the next day? Priorities.

The Jedi can't do what they want with Republic resources. As awful as it is, the Clones belong to the Republic. The Jedi can be ordered to pull out of a situation whenever the Senate pleases. (see above)

Capturing Maul (what would be the Jedi's goal going to Mandalore) would really best be accomplished somewhere he doesn't have all his forces backing him up (again, confronting there is for Bo-Katan's benefit because her own goal isn't just to capture Maul but to beat his forces which she wants the Republic to do for her)

The Battle of Coruscant is ABSOLUTELY a pivotal point in the war and the main priority. The second the Separatists show up above the Republic's central seat of power? The political and military capital? The most densely populated planet in the Galaxy? It's time to drop literally everything else. The Senate is there. The Temple is there. A LOT of their troops are stationed there. There are hundreds of thousands of billions of people living there. Even pulling forces out of allied worlds to go help Coruscant wouldn't be a dick move, just a desperate one - nevermind waiting to send troops to a neutral-on-a-good-day-and-more-or-less-enemy-the-rest-of-the-time world.

The Jedi don't even refuse to help.

They don't.

Why am I typing all of this to defend their refusal to help? They don't refuse to help.

Obi-Wan wants to take a hot minute to THINK ABOUT the implications of going guns blazing into neutral sovereign territory to confront a dude who has an extremely personal vendetta against him and is known to set traps of precisely this kind. (And Obi-Wan is right to consider these things because HEY! IT IS A TRAP! MAUL SLAUGHTERS A BUNCH OF CLONES AS A BREADCRUMBS TRAIL TO LEAD SOMEONE HE HOPES TO BE OBI-WAN INTO A TRAP!)

Obi-Wan also answers to the rest of Council, just like every other Council member. Bo-Katan gets pissy that he's not giving an answer right that instant because SHE needs Maul to still be there, but thinking things through is literally Obi-Wan's job description.

And after all this, after the attack on Coruscant and the political considerations, THE JEDI DON'T EVEN REFUSE TO HELP.

The Mandalorian traditionalists' favorite pastime is attempting to kill Jedi. Not too long ago, Bo was right there when Pre was trying to kill Obi-Wan. And then trying to kill Ahsoka. And then allying with the Sith (who notoriously want to kill all the Jedi) on two separate occasions (Dooku and Maul). The Mandos PRIDE THEMSELVES on hating the Jedi. There has never been in canon an instance of a Prequels-era Mando warrior helping a Jedi out for altruistic motives.

Bo-Katan is appealing to the Order's decency (saying that her people suffer etc etc) but she doesn't even have the honesty to couch it as a real, desperate plea for help. Instead she presents the situation as transactional, as though she was bringing anything concrete onto the table. If the Republic comes in, takes Mandalore for her and captures Maul, she has contributed to the effort how, exactly? What has she given the Republic? How many people fight for her is left pretty vague but we really don't see that many of them. Plus it's her planet. Fighting for it isn't her giving the Republic anything, it's still her helping herself. And yet she gets incredibly pissed when Obi-Wan takes time to examine the 'deal.'

In light of the two previous arguments, the Jedi would in fact have been perfectly justified in telling Bo to eat some freaking humble pie.

THE JEDI. DON'T REFUSE. TO HELP.

Sure it's Obi-Wan specifically who okays the operation, before the rest of the Council can make a decision, but do they order the troops to pull out afterwards? Nope. Do they sanction him? Nope.

They do help.

They really shouldn't have let Bo-Katan in charge but hey, they get all massacred after that and the Republic's backing is literally what gives Bo-Katan legitimacy in the eyes of many clans for decades after (see the Protectors' position in Rebels. Her legitimacy stems from SATINE'S and the Republic apparently backing her up as Satine's heir. It's not from kicking Maul out.)

(I love Bo-Katan as a character but as a person she's. huh. a lot. She changed from outright villain to morally gray character because the villains got a lot worse not bc she got better lmo)

So the Jedi absolutely did help afgfdsdfgfdsdfd why are people getting pissy about Obi-Wan - who has a complicated history with Mandalore that involves a loved one getting murdered in front of his eyes by Maul - hesitating to help

They really didn't refuse to help.

They really had every reason to

It would have been perfectly reasonable in fact

Yeah they have a mandate to protect innocent people but there were a lot more innocent people on Coruscant

Innocent people who did want their help instead of yelling GTFO every time they showed up

Because the Mando civilians sure didn't want them there

Oh and also? They didn't refuse to help

Been a while since I drew her

ARC Trooper Fives x F!Reader Word Count: 351 Warnings: Angst. A/N: Just a sad Fives mini fic whilst I practice aspects of my writing :(

She couldn't keep doing this.

Each scar, each wound, each struggling breath and each death, she felt her resolve growing weaker.

What if he was truly, really dead? It would be easier to know, she hoped, than to keep living like this. But what if Rex was right? He wasn't mad, not yet, so what if he was right?

She already lost Fives. She had come to terms with his death. Her duty allowed her to push away those feelings of sorrow, to supress those lonely nights. Her throat itched at the memory, the day she lost everything, the day her world fell apart, the day he died. She had come to terms with it.

And now? Knowing Echo, her dearest Echo, could be alive, she felt nothing but strangling, nauseating pain. It felt like she was underwater, losing precious air every moment longer that it took to hear back from Rex.

Fives had always wished he could have done more to save Echo. He prioritised his brothers happinness over anything and everything.

He had come to her, silent tears cascading down his cheek. He allowed her to embrace him, to let her hear him cry, to let her heal his shattered soul. She was the reason Fives hadn't deserted yet.

But how she wished he did now. She would have followed him to the deepest, darkest corners of the galaxy.

Every morning she woke up, her hand feeling his side of the bed. She'd forget he was gone, and wake up confused, and then reality would hit. He was gone, and he wasn't coming back.

A couple tears shed here and there, before she'd swallow a forming lump, and get on with her day.

She'd heal the injured, aid the recovering, eat, shower, watch some holofilms and go to sleep.

She dreamt of him nearly every night, but it felt more like she was relieving precious memories. Her and Fives cuddled up on her old couch, watching her favourite holofilms together. Her and Fives cooking dinner, his arms caging her against the counter as he'd steal a fleeting kiss, a fleeting promise of a better tomorrow.

And then, she'd wake up. Feel his side of the bed, wake up and hear the faint pitter patter of the shower, and then she'd remember.

Maybe she's going crazy. Maybe Rex never even mentioned the chance of Echo being alive. Maybe she was crazy.
