Okay, yeah, cool, "I find your lack of faith disturbing" and all that, but dude. Ani. My guy. These guys don't know the Jedi ways. Of course they have no faith in it.
I mean, the most of The Force they've seen is you strangling a guy, which you could do with your hands, or a rope, if you weren't a drama queen. You're the force-user, the trained-to-be-Jedi on the ship. If you want them to have faith in you, you gotta explain The Force and the Jedi ways, and their power, because they have no way to educate themselves on it.
How about instead of killing people, you make a powerpoint and sit them down and tell them why they should have faith.
AU August- Day 31 - Star Wars Dealer’s Choice
I did it! Of course dealer’s choice for me would have to be star wars! Let’s hope that Marinette and Adrien’s relationship doesn’t end up like Luke and Leia’s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do like the idea of Hawkmoth going “No I am you FATHER!!!!” to Adrien at some point ;)
I had a ton of fun doing this art challenge! Big shout out and thanks to @auyeahaugust for putting this all together!
Who wants to have a Star Wars marathon with me?
And I'm not talking just the movies
Not just the live action
Not just the ones we like
I mean a marathon, all of the movies, TV shows, live action and animated, all of it.
That means the Prequels, The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Solo, Kenobi, Andor, the Originals, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Resistance, and the Sequels. Yes even Visions and Tales of the Jedi. And I have nothing against watching all of the shorts Blips, Forces of Destiny, and Grogu and Dust Bunnies. And yes, before you start to get comfortable even the "vintage" Star Wars Clone Wars, Ewoks, The Battle for Endor, The Faithful Wookie, Caravan of Courage, Droids. Holiday Specials! And to top it all off, we'll watch the Lego Star Wars 😈
Okaaaaaay! Wild theory time that many will say is totally incorrect!
This theory is partially inspired by this post by @twinterrors29
https://at.tumblr.com/twinterrors29/boba-fetts-reputation-as-the-best-bounty-hunter/cbubdg5i3k36
But it is also just a wild mind tangent that I came up with. Now on with the theory!
...
Boba Fett is a feared bounty hunter, he's been in the game since he was 10 years old, since his father the great Jango Fett died.. He's good at what he does. He's respected and revered. But here's the thing...
Anyone could be Boba Fett.
Throughout canon many have been Boba Fett. In old canon the name Boba Fett was just alias used by Jaster Mereel. It wasn't until "Attack of the Clones" was released that anyone had even heard of Jango. And during "The Clone Wars" TV show, during the arc at the end of season 2, we see that no one can differentiate between Boba and the other clones.
So where am I going with this?
This:
Is not Boba Fett.
Or...well...he might be.
Don't believe me? Neither do I. Here's some shaky proof:
Boba Fett was born in roughly 32 BBY and the show "The Mandalorian" takes place in roughly 9 ABY, which makes Boba Fett approximately 41 years old. During the events of "Attack of the Clones" Jango Fett is 44 years old having been born in 66 BBY (the beginning of the Clone Wars was in 22 BBY lasting till 19 BBY). During which time he looked like this:
(It's hard to find a good photo of him.)
Now YES, the actor has aged, Boba fell into a Sarlacc and is dealing with scaring, and he has spend the last 5 years on Tatooine (we all know how this goes for people...)
But this ⬆️ is the work of 20 years.
Case in point, I have a hard time believing that Boba and Jango are roughly the same age, I mean look:
One obviously hasn't aged as delicately as the other.
There's not really much that can explain this, we fans just look over it because we love Temuera Morrison so much (I love him too).
But who do we know who have accelerated aging that would explain this difference? The other clones, of course.
The clones (with the exception of Boba) were genetically modified so that they would age at twice the normal human rate, at 10 they were physically and mentally 20, and battle ready.
But they aged at twice the normal human rate, why would a 40 year old look 60 instead of 80?
Well there's a simple answer. Deceleration.
In the Republic Commando books, Skirata finds a way to slow the clones aging down to a normal human rate. Unfortunately nothing in canon has shown that this is possible, but as many have pointed out, Rex was looking really spry in "Rebels."
So it is possible that some 10 years after the war, a cure was found.
During the year 19 BBY the clones were roughly 26-28 years old, ten years later in 9 BBY when the "Kenobi" series take place, clones without decelerate aging would appear nearly 50 years old, and lucky for us we see a 501st trooper in a cameo:
Now, he's obviously older and grizzly, but he still more closely resembles the younger Boba Fett than Jango who is closer to his age physically.
...
I'm not saying that anything I've said here is definitive proof that the Boba Fett from "The Book of Boba Fett" and "The Mandalorian" is a Padmé decoy, far from it. But I am saying that there's enough here that there's a chance that it's true. Especially with the drastic personality change that we see from Boba in the original series, stern and serious, dangerous. A personality that even carries over into "The Clone Wars" and the Boba Fett young readers books, though technically Legends now. This new Boba is not the stoic and legendary bounty hunter we know, and that may be the point, but it won't stop me from theorizing.
After all this may be the real Boba Fett:
Or maybe this one:
Or this one!
Or maybe the real Boba is dead.
We may never know...
Which is the real Boba? Are they all the same Boba? How many Bobas are there?
What if the Boba Fett we've come to know and love, isn't even the real Boba Fett?
Things I don’t really see people talking about from Solo:
-They had Lando pronounce Han “Hān”
-and made it REALLY SUPER clear that parsecs were a unit of distance (but made doing the Kessel run in 12 parsecs still really impressive)
-just to cover some relatively minor plot holes from the original trilogy
-and I absolutely loved it.

After andor the vibes in this meeting must have been WRECHED. The ISB collapsed, death star plans leaked, jedda destroyed in an embarrassing debacle, scarif raided all in one week and tarkin calls a staff meeting at 6am on a Tuesday. Does he talk about the security vulnerability the death star has been exposed to? No. He blusters about how everything is fine because his station is so cool and awesome and nothing bad will ever happen to it. Then some guy calls him wrong and an idiot to his face and tells his spooky wizard boss his religion is bullshit, and is instantly choked for it. No one is even shocked or offended by this, hell half of them are into it
thought about this again. kind of amazing how we’re all just chasing ways to duplicate how this scene makes us feel, either in life or in art.

REPOST ART=CREDITS
So I rewatched A New Hope the other night, so I'm making an appreciation post. It's literally the most basic plot ever, farm boy longs for something but he doesn't know what, turns out hes the chosen one with super cool powers not seen in forever, ends up with an old man mentor who dies too soon, a dnd party as freinds and goes to save the princess from the villains and does some cool near impossible feat due to cool powers mentioned earlier. However, Luke longs to see the galaxy without being angsty, keeps his hopeful outlook on life for the series, and doesn't develop the lone wolf attitude and leans on his friends constantly. Han Solo isn't toxic (though he is flawed), he never lies about having debts to pay off, even though he is a rouge and a scoundrel he hugs and laughs freely, and Chewbaca is his freind and equal, not someone less because he isn't the captian or a human. Leia is a princess but is not a damsel in distress. She is not afraid to steal, lie, and kill for her people and the rebellion. She is tortured and witnesses the massacre of her planet and all she loves and still fights for freedom. She is dignified, strong, and stubborn but never assumes she is better simply because she is royalty. Obi-Wan and Chewbaca 10/10. Just, A New Hope, the first Star Wars anything, love it.
