[First] [Previous (pt 52)] [Here (pt 53)] [Next (p54)]
I am sorry this took so long to be posted. Not too much happens in this update aside from the twins arguing, and this was a dialogue I worked on a lot to get just right, but It isn't an action update.
This update was so much more work than expected. Thanks to a computer crash, I almost lost this, but I recovered most of the artwork with Clip Studio's automatic recovery files.
Personal Life Updates: One of my brothers got married. I'm applying to graduate schools. I did Inktober last month, and I am doing NaNoWriMo right now.

“hey Dad, watch this!!”
@be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie hope u don’t mind that I animated your post because you are SO right 😭
Reposting my single favourite piece of official Star Wars media for no particular reason.
dumb sequel to this post bc their ear thingies are my fav
Anyway one of the reasons I’m so mad about Order 66 is the fact that a happy ending would have meant that Clone Culture and Jedi Culture would mix because they basically adopted each other and it would have been beautiful
Jedi are peacekeepers and they are more than happy to return to their role but war still haunts them and leaves its marks. Many are happy to get rid of their armor, others not so much
Padawans who survived and grow into Knights who keep parts of their armor, painted in the color of their battalion
New Padawans who pick up an armor and paint it in colors meaningful to them after their first mission! Imagine excited kids coming back going “Look! My armor has its first scratch!!!” And a clone being so happy for this tiny Shinie
Which also: Language. Okay. So much slang becoming casual in the temple but also Mando’a. Shinie and Padawan becoming pretty synonymous after a few years.
And like, going on missions without clones just feels kinda weird at this point. And they just attach themselves to their Jedi for missions because sure, we’re not fighting A War™️ anymore but Skywalker and Kenobi are still Skywalker-and-Kenobi and We Know Better
Also Force-sensitive clones because canon robbed us of that. Which starts the whole age debate. And then somebody (Anakin who is busy being a Dad and also a Master bc he deserved it after defeating Sidious) goes “I mean. The oldest are actually only 15 and also we should listen to the Force”
And the Council is already so tired, Skywalker has been taking his adorable super strong kids to meetings basically everyday, Plo Koon legally adopted the Wolfpack as soon as Clones were recognized as citizens of the Republic (he had the adoption papers on his person so he could make use of them ASAP) might as well change the code
So Clone Padawans!!! And later Knights!!!! And they’re so proud of it.
On the other hand, a lot of clones adapt Jedi practices! Learn their code to make it through the memories of war because bred soldier or not - it leaves scars
They meditate! Some of them might even actually kinda know how to handle a lightsaber because their Jedi keep losing theirs
They first get Jedi tunics because that’s just what they have at the temple and when you need to supply a lot is people with casual clothes, that’s a good start. Some clones branch out, others don’t. They’re comfortable and the whole cape/robe drop is badass
Tattoos! Not really a thing for the Jedi as a culture before, but they become more and more popular so that Masters legit have to make sure their underaged Padawans won’t get any.
Sharing last names! Like, objectively, them optioning for going by “Fett” is funny for so many reasons, most of them related to Boba having to sit through various “No, not that Fett” talks but also! Jedi offering up their last names! Plo already adopted his batch but I bet Cody introduces himself as “Kenobi” and Obi-Wan doesn’t even blink like “It suits you, Commander”.
Also Ahsoka and Rex coming home because we deserve that and Ahsoka and Anakin nearly throwing hands about Who Gets To Give Rex Their Last Name. (RIP to them because Padmé was quicker and Rex Amidala sounds ten times as cool)
Tiny younglings!!! Being so honored when they can share a name with a Clone. Imagine a small little Twi’lek Initiate being HYPED when a Commander accepts her name. A hero! Thinking you’re very brave!
The Senate maybe goes “but the clones don’t belong to you-“ at the start but are shut up very quickly.
Just give me the Clones and Jedi in the aftermath of the war living together peacefully.
