You don't understand the need I have for Cody + Rex being sent back in time(+ deaged!) and meeting Jaster Mereel. Just the sheer level of feelings that happen.
Give me Cody staring at Prime who is younger than he is. Staring at the man who Named him, who threw them to the wolves and did not hestate to let them be killed. Cody doesn't recognize Prime in Jango Fett. All he sees are the shinies, too young for war but forced into it anyway.
Give me Rex who instincitly ducks behind Cody, who is the perfect solider because of his hair cover. Give me Rex meeting the True Mandalorians who could not give a rats-ass what you look like.
And on the flip side. The Flip Side. Good God the way that Jaster would look at these children who move like soliders. These children that are 10, 11 years old and expect to be hurt. Who taught them this? Who dared to hurt them? They look like Jango, like young terrifed Jango, and Jaster cannot understand why anyone would hurt them
Jango's family is dead, his sister long gone. And force he misses them every single day. But there are children in front of him. They look like him, except one is blond like his sister was. They have her eyes, his dad's nose. This is his family and someone hurt them.
Bonus points if various Jedi got chucked back as well. Just imagining Obi-Wan being like 16ish, carting around a 12 year old Anakin and a 8 year old Ahsoka.
Can you imagine the horror??? This person who is barely above a child himself is responble for two others. Jango's family call him General. They turn to him for orders. He's sixteen. He's younger than Jango.
And the Jedi, the jedi if they saw this?? Saw what had had to be a padawan protect two younglings, teach them the way of the Jedi even though he is just a learner himself. To be forced to be a solider? The force screams around all five of them mourning.
