it would be really funny if, before the clone wars, the galaxy as a whole just. didn’t believe that Jedi were fighters. if they saw the agricorps, medicorps, etc and went “I bet the knights are just for show, right? Since they need a show of power in order to do their real job of peacekeeping?”
and what would be even MORE funny is if it drove mandalorians fucking INSANE
Jaster mereel: *calmly* now, repeat after me: the Jedi carry literal LASER SWORDS. They are FEARSOME fighters to be handled with the UTMOST delicacy
Some random civvy mando: but they’re literally peacekeepers
Jaster: and how do they KEEP that peace, you might wonder?
Civvy: . . . mediation and deals?
Civvy: why are you mandos always going after Jedi? It’s not like they’re gonna fight you
Jaster, fresh from fighting a Jedi LITERALLY two hours ago: huh. Well, we go after them because they’re possibly the one group that are better fighters than we mandalorians
Civvy: *laughs* oh goodness that’s a good joke
Jaster: *literally sporting lightsaber wounds* I’m going to rip my hair out
News holo: and the ever-persisting feud between the mandalorians and the Jedi, while having no clear basis, has continued—
Jaster, nursing alcohol at the bar: no clear basis my ass
Mace Windu, across the bar: *waves and smirks*
Jaster: we literally brought back SLUGTHROWERS for this
Jaster: they’re giving KIDS LIGHTSABERS
Civvy: those are set to stun most of the time. and don’t you give your kids blasters at like age two??
Jaster: THATS NOT THE POINT
