i love when Jango disguises himself with the name Jaster as though it's not true that everyone who wants any info on him would know that one of his parents' names was Jaster

Average pre-clone wars Mandalorian family dinner:

Your pacifist uncle and your terrorist-sympathizer cousin won't talk to each other but they both want the other dead.

Your sibling is writing their own manifesto that will totally unite Mandalore and stop infighting, this time for real, I swear. It's 500 pages long and nowhere near finished.

One of your parents says "I think we should join the Republic" and you catch your cousin who has previously told you "everyone who wants to join the Republic should kill themselves right now" glaring at them, but she's too cowardly to say it.

Your other terrorist cousin is drafting up plans to bomb Sundari right there at the dinner table, and thinks you're all traitors and cowards for not being down with suicide bombing.

Your pacifist uncle gets into a fistfight and everyone starts saying "not so pacifist now, huh?? what was that about violence being bad???", including your other pacifist aunt.

Your sibling gets into an argument with another cousin who is also drafting their own manifesto, over whether there should be a legal record of adoptions, or if spoken words are enough. You don't want to tell them this argument is unnecessary, since they will never be making decisions on planetary politics.

Your other parent only has one political opinion, and it's "we should raise the age of majority from 13 to 15", which makes them unpopular with everyone.

Your pacifist uncle and your pacifist aunt get into a screaming argument about which forms of self-defense are acceptable. It nearly turns into a fistfight. They see the irony, but will claim not to when it's pointed out.

Everyone puts aside their differences and declares you public enemy number one when you say you don't like spicy food.

"Jaster should have been Mand'alor"

The last time that man saw paperwork on his desk he cried so much he passed out, and in the end Jango had to do it in his place

It would be important to understand that Jedi teachings in George Lucas' canon are not propositions to be believed in, to remember them intellectually - they're truths to be realized and be acted upon. Just like Yoda said, they must have the most serious mind: they must train their minds so that when fear, anger, hate and aggression and attachment arise, they can see them for what they are and how they would lead to suffering. They must have to develop a mind that, whenever they see injustice, would not give rise to anger or hatred, directed at the perpetrator, but to the aspiration to help those who suffer, to protect them from further harm, grounded in compassion.

Test tube baby :P

I retcon/headcanon Jedi humor as lighthearted, effortless, and playful, rooted in how amusing, almost endearing, dualistic thinking and the illusion of separation are once you've seen through it.

Avoiding attachments isn't a strict decree (or moral obligation) that's hard to follow. It's a running joke, and the punchline is always the same: you don't need to hold on in the first place. You can't lose what's connected.

It's a classic. No need to rush it. It'll land.

I love Mastiffs they’re just lizard puppies

"None of the Jedi recognize that darkness exists in them"

Incorrect, recognizing one's own darkness and rejecting that darkness is a basic and fundamental aspect of Jedi teachings

Vader hates everyone, and everything.

Because why should anyone get to live and breathe when Padmé didn't? Why should there be families allowed laugh and love, when his own is gone? When his own child died with his wife?

The happiness of others reminds him of what he could have had. Reminds him of what he destroyed.

And if the Chosen One can't have it, nobody else should either.

And this is why he hates everyone.

But no one more than himself.

as someone who got 2 concussions this year and inhaled toxic substances at the workplace i can confidently inform you all that all characters in the star wars prequels are absolved of stupidity. they're all dumb as a box of rocks but its not their fault that no one made them wear helmets in wartime. the introduction of SPOSHA (space OSHA) would reduce incidences of darth vader creation by at least one i just know it

Anakin, having to go undercover in a special containment suit to pretend to be a Garenite, wearing a black glass helmet and respirator and black suit? And it makes him feel more powerful, more invincible? THAT'S FINE. I'M FINE. THIS IS ALL FINE. (Star Wars: Padawan's Pride | Brian Q. Miller)
