Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

 

Optional chat prompt

The topic for this week is The Mandalorian, the show that gave us the tired, confused space dad and his horrible gremlin child, and a whole lot of feels. (Unless you’re into it for the “western in space!” vibes, of course.)

And as last week, feel free to share and chat about fanworks! If my memory is to be believed, a certain technically-a-crackship dominates the fandom, but if that’s not your cup of tea, I’m sure there’s more to be found.

Since this show had its share of… drama, shall we say, if you need to vent the Dark Side post is there for you.

I have posted the first chapter of the Prequels WIP I've been talking about, Sing Dead the Dark! The estimated end length is about 25k. T-rated gen, Anakin Skywalker-centric prequels fixit. Also has a bunch of R2-D2.

Before his name was revealed, I nicknamed the child as Wasabi.

Luke returning was an incredible moment that really got me back into Star Wars! Initially I didn’t think they would bring him back, but they did. 🥲

I haven't read any Mandalorian fic yet so am totally in the dark about the dominant ship. But I would welcome gen recs.

Also, a friend has just finished watching the show and says that she'd like to know how she can get the earworm of the theme out of her head. Also, she said she never watches credits of any other show, but does it with this one because she loves the art. I also found it interesting to see how the concept art did and didn't match what ended up on screen.

I'm a gremlin so my fanfic favorites are often really hard to recommend to people, but hey, who knows?

  • a republic (if you can keep it) - it's the 5th fic in a series with the premise "what if Obi-Wan stayed to live with the Larses" and it would be a loss to read it alone, but I LOVE that series, and Din's "who the fuck are you people?" in this is hilarious.
  • The Once and Future King - time-travel fic where Din is kicked back to Mandalore, gets a ghost for a parent and Jedi Master, and meets a preteen Jaster Mereel. Folks, I don't know. But it's so good. (It starts a bit slow tho, don't give up on it too early if you try.)
  • Ka'rta Ve'vut - an E-rated Armorer/Ahsoka Tano fic. Come for the tags and the interesting rarepair, stay for the metallurgy metaphors. (And okay, yes, the smut.) (Is it weird that I think the metallurgy is more enjoyable than the smut? Because IT IS.)
