Ok imagine like Boba or Cara or any other character in Din’s group of people he knows, in the cockpit of his ship trying to use the com and messing with it but before Din can stop them just this holo shows up
It’s very awkward after that…
I accept this as canon lore
hey star wars fans. remember the collective ~1 year long fever dream that was dinluke. and then bobf/mandalorian season three came out and everyone decided collectively that it wasn’t cool anymore for like a myriad of reasons
that was a lot of fun to watch! some very good fanworks came out of that period of time. i’ve got some theories about exactly why it took off so hard (not many reoccurring characters in mando, luke being a notable but not paired off heavily character, general interesting interactions of their respective space religious ideas and their own opinions on them) but mostly i’m fascinated by the fact that it went so hard for such a short period of time and now that subset of the fandom is just like, dead. pretty neat
Why would you think it's dead? If the tags are still active, it's clearly not dead. And if most of us didn't like/(more like hated) s3, then that makes it okay to ignore it.
Some of us just have lots of real life requirements outside of fandom. It means stepping away from this space at times.
i’m sorry but din djarin ending up co-parenting with luke would be the funniest fucking thing. imagine this confused dad who would like to stay a side character suddenly stuck with THEE magical space monk to end them all, who incidentally is from the most over-involved ‘drama is the family business and overthrowing government is a Goddamn Ordeal’ family in the galaxy. the wild, insane, batshit crazy nonsense din would have to put up with, the times he would be getting ready for a nice, quiet family trip, only for Luke to force a rainbow wig over his helmet and drag him to the Skywalker Clowncar™ to fuck shit up where main action’s at, their son cheerfully murdering his way behind them.
Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian but it’s Toxic by Britney Spears
alright if din djarin and luke skywalker don't passionately make out in the mandalorian movie then what's the point
None. There's none. Cata he's happy at the end of s3 so what would make him go on another adventure? Except a threat? So they need to be to-get-ther
Luke just walking in the streets of Mandalore, all happy and peaceful: 🎶making my way downtown, walking fast—
Every Mandalorian in the system:
Luke: 🎶walking faster🎶
“The Mandalorian” but it’s just Din Djarin being tired dramatic and done with everything.
The best fics are the ones that recognize that although Luke Skywalker may APPEAR on the outside to be a normal friendly twink who happens to have cool powers, especially when contrasted with such ship partners as Boba or Din or even Han, he is arguably the scariest person alive in the galaxy around the prequel era. AND, crucially, he is also a fundamentally weird guy. This man was homeschooled on a rural farm his entire life and then apprenticed to a swamp gremlin who showed him how to tap into the cosmic power of the universe. He blew up the death star age 19, killing approx 2 million-ish Imperials. He is a vortex of Force power that can communicate with the ghosts of dead Jedi. He’s staring into the distance and mumbling to himself and doing Yoda aphorisms and casually pulling out the “yeah I could crush that guy into a paste with my mind (:” and nobody around him knows what to do with that. I think he is a character who has very little frame of reference for how a Jedi or a person in general is supposed to act and there is some thing about him that is by necessity really fucking weird and a little scary but he’s so nice that it can throw you off the scent a little bit. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
This is excellent. I added your tags. (Leia super doesn't care. And part of everyone else is horrified/charmed.)
Rest in Peace, Carl Weathers. 🩵
Need to know exactly why Din Djarin's helmet rule arc was reversed and I need it to not be blamed on Pedro Pascal's busy schedule
Cause rn disney is full of stupidity that they don't want to take responsibility for. There's no answer other than his schedule conflicted with when they wanted to shoot and they didn't want to wait to have his schedule clear. It's their shitty mess that they made and they have to stew in it now.
can y’all just imagine a remake of the end of tfa where Rey is walking up all those stone steps and she hears sounds coming from one of the buildings and she just finds the legendary Luke Skywalker eating lunch and smiling with an old, retired mandalorian and a green, big eared toddler?? because that’s what i need now
Only part of the current where I'd accept the sequels being in this same universe
I’m sorry I can’t stop posting about dinluke I’m sorry I just want Luke to be happy with a boyfriend just as stupid and stubborn and soft as him I’m sorry but I just want it
Can someone tell me how I fell in this DinLuke hole? I literally just watched The Mandalorian and the old movies when I was, like, 8, and now I'm reading fics about some blond traumatized golden boy and a gruff traumatized helmet head raising a cute traumatized space goblin. And I love it????
It's not just Luke's personality switch. We never see any of the Force Ghosts. We go from Ossus, in one part of the Outer Rim to Yavin IV in a different part. Mando s3 is a joke. Din is suddenly all over the place personality wise, and episode to episode. It's not just him either. It's both Bo, as the head (maybe only member) & the Armorer. We don't have proof at the end that Gideon is dead. He should be, but maybe not.
Im not going to speak on the blasphemy that is Ahsoka. There are so, so many lore issues with that show. There might actually be more Lore issues with Ahsoka than there were in the end w/ TFA and TLJ. Looking cool isn't enough if you're going to throw out all the built canon Disney has done with new comics and books and the years of other shows.
Incoming unpopular opinion. Did it not occur to anyone that Filoni, much like Taika in marvel, just doesnt have the respect for the majority of the characters of Star Wars that - say- Favreau with IronMan or others have? Who the hell treats the Mandalorians like he has? Why the hell were either of them allowed to treat Luke like that? 😤 Who wouldn't understand & acknowledge that there's a SAG and WGA strike ongoing and then refuse to be on the front lines / voicing support? They're both writers & directors/producers. And Favreau (like a certain New Zealander) is also an actor. Plus wtf 🙃 was with Kennedy & Filoni being allowed say on Mando s3?
First off, the Nightsisters were never said to be Dark Side Witches except by maybe Dooku and Palpatine. Look where that motivation is coming from. Second, the Zabrak aren't from Dathomir. They're from Iridonia. And they don't always have red/orange skin. That's kind of specific to the *subspecies* that developed on Dathomir. The Nightsisters are literally referred to as 'dathomiri witches'. Third, they're not using the Force. Did 😒 no one see any clips of (or play) Fallen Order or Survivor? Merrin is thought to be one of the very last of her kind. She literally explains to Cal that their Magic isn't the Force.
That leads me to my fourth and fifth points. No4: Filoni is just making shit up at this point, i would hope reviewers would understand this. Why would there be something beyond the 'unknown regions'? This isn't some dinky galaxy we're playing in with Star Wars. Have you SEEN the Star Map for the number of worlds just in the Outer Rim? There are hundreds of solar systems and nebulae and solar clouds and tunnels (wormholes). And he wants you to think that there's a whole new set of worlds beyond 'unknown space'. 🤣😅 I explained about the Dathomiri already but lets use an actual Dark Force God. In Legends, the eldritch horror Abeloth lurks in a cluster of black holes called The Maw. Its within the edges of the Outer Rim - Inside the known universe of Star Wars. There's hardly anything *known* about the areas outside the Outer Rim; its why the name is Wild Space & the *Unknown* Regions. JFC.
After what has been written about beloved characters in the sequels, in Mando, and even with Boba not having starring roles in his own series, I find it highly insulting as a fan that yall just take this dummy's word that this is gospel. Like holy shit, do some basic research TOR before raving about how great ep 6 was for canon.
Canon so far has been dogshit. S3 of Mandalorian, the cliffhangers of both Boba Fett & Kenobi, the shit writing... The only great thing out of Disney post lucasfilm buy is Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian and getting to see Morrison as Boba. --> 🫠😵 I find it super insulting that Disney would retcon *their own canon* from games/books/earlier shows to allow Elspeth and the 'Great Mothers' to have the Force. To say that this 'never before known planet' is some special jedi place. To hint that Thrawn might be the main antagonist when no one can say that with the strike or books that are *already out*. Icould keep going but yall bore me. Ewww.
Boba Fett, on the throne
in character vs. out of character (or his default puppy dog eyes)
