#where for mandos 'sad and mandokarla' is the trigger point for the adoption urges

[bolithesenate]

oh yes jedi being aggressively friendly is perfect, and any proper religious order should have lay members. most of those being random down on their luck people who got brought home by a jedi at some point and then never left....well, what of it?

the master probably thought it was just another baby rancor or something, but then it turned out to be a Whole Mandalorian. they are going to win the next round of 'you'll never believe what my padawan brought home' for sure.

(aaaaa i totally forgot about this in drafts again)

Anyways, yes!!!! Lay members in the jedi order for the win!!

Just some random cooks and artisans and teachers and people to help out in daily life (and be helped out in turn). People who can give an outside perspective on things or just people that were collected by Jedi indeed! Sometimes both!

Personal HC is that especially the Corps are FULL of them. people even send their totally non-fs kids there to get education in certain fields.

and yeah, the last Jedi to bring in a whole Mandalorian was Tarre Vizsla himself. so, u know, that's a platform to have for sure

(their Padawan claims this was for 'street cred', but they all know it was because Jedi are pathologically weak to Wet And Pathetic as character traits)
