and something something about orphaned Ezra Bridger who loves Lothal but doesn’t quite belong being adopted into a self-made-cobbled-together family of outcasts from multiple cultures

and something something about Kanan choosing to embrace his culture and religion again despite his fear and the risk it brings to him and his family

and something something about Ezra embracing that culture as whole-heartedly as he can when so much of it has been lost

and something something about both of being denied the ability to practice certain aspects of their religion because otherwise they might be killed for it

and something something about Kanan remembering how Master Billaba carefully sheared his hair and oh so reverently plaited his Padawan braid and held it gently between her fingertips and told him she would do right by him and told him not to be afraid and told him she would be there for him until her dying breath and beyond and told him that he was going to be a great Jedi Knight one day and told him “you are our future youngling and I will do everything in my power to protect that future”

and something something about Kanan looking at Ezra’s wild hair with something hollow and aching tucked between his ribs because he longs to show Ezra the devotion his Master showed him and her Master showed before her and his Master before him but it’s not safe to gently plait that Padawan braid behind Ezra’s ear because such a sign of devotion will mean death and Kanan can only hope that Ezra understands how much Kanan loves him and how much Kanan is proud of him and how much hope and life he sees in his Padawan because while that Padawan braid may be the physical link between future and past tying together generations of Masters and Padawans who have lived and loved and passed on because “we are what they grow beyond”—

But I refuse to believe no one has looked at "apparently what happens when you cross a human and a Twilek is a human-passing kid with the other halfs coloration" and "Alexsandr Kallus No Background Info Found" and gone "Hey you know what could be fascinating!"

If anyone is interested, I started another side blog to curate a growing problem with Star Wars. I’ve always been a fan, but between The Mandalorian, rewatching Clone Wars and Rebels, and the upcoming disney+ SW ventures, I thought people seem to be here for Marvel related content and might appreciate me not cluttering up their dashes with more SW than usual, especially since the rewatch is getting me in my feels again about Rex and the rest of the boys™.

But if anyone’s interested, all that quality clone content (and more) will be over on @outranking-experience
