Remember: Disney and LucasFilm are NOT responsible for the amazing cultural representation in Book of Boba Fett. Temuera Morrison is. He asked for cultural elements to be added to his character and story. There are multiple interviews from both parties stating that Temuera specifically asked for these elements. Disney wouldn’t have added them if he didn’t ask.

Temuera Morrison deserves the praise for the amazing representation we’re getting.

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

“I literally made three- THREE- 18th century corsets last week. You can wait until one of them gets back, or you can go sometime post-1920s, because if I have to sew one more god damn channel I will literally lose my mind.”

“Upper middle class?!?!? You told me upper class! FUCK YEAH THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!!!”

“How about kimoNO.”

“Look me in the eyes. I do not care what you want. This is the 1500s. You absolutely cannot wear trousers.”

“Another court gown?? Here’s a novel idea: go as a peasant for once in your life. Why do you do this to me? You’re fucking sadists that’s why.”

“Don’t mind me, I’ll just be up all night hand painting silk.”

“THE POLICY IS ONE MONTH’S ADVANCE NOTICE ON PRE-1900s WOMEN’S FASHION FOR A REASON, DEBRA.”

Things That Happened In 2021 That Dont Feel Like They Did

“I could not stop wasting time. It was crazy. I wanted to do something with my life, but instead I went to sleep, or sung in the shower, or sat and stared at the wall. I couldn’t even tell you about anything that I saw. I didn’t talk to anybody. The cicadas kept dying outside, and as I dreamed, my mouth grew thick and venomous with silence.”

A historical moment

the Origins PC and companions are genuinely the funniest group of people if you actually think about it, like you got:

Had to share these comments

the fact that there is an entire dlc that features shepard’s Evil Clone is funny on its own, but the entire point of the dlc being “SHEPARD IS NOTHING WITHOUT HER FRIENDS” makes it hilarious. a catastrophic identity theft scenario was foiled by the power of friendship. the gang got together and brainstormed like the beacons of comradery they are, and they decided to shoot the problem to death and get drunk afterwards. good game guys, let’s hit the showers

Favreau really said that Luke Fucking Skywalker is a baby snatcher. The ONE GUY who has never given a single blessed fuck about the jedi attachment rules. He would STEAL A BABY without bothering to leave a name or number to keep in touch with the baby’s dad.

This post is interesting because it perfectly encapsulates a huge misunderstanding that fandom has had about the nature of Din and Grogu’s familial relationship and the events that happened in the last episode. Din is not Grogu’s adoptive parent; he is a foster parent. And the fact that I never, ever hear the fandom refer to Din as a foster father is actually something that makes me feel really sad, because it’s such a wonderful demonstration of Din’s character: namely, his selflessness, his devotion to his creed, and his strength.

I was a foundling.

When Din tries to give Grogu to Omera, to Ahsoka, and even presumably to Boba (if only for a hot minute there), there is no sense that Din is expecting to ever get Grogu back. There is no expectation. This mirrors real-life scenarios with real-life foster parents. Most children who are waiting to be adopted will be placed in a foster home, and when it is time to be adopted, that relationship is going to be ultimately severed with those temporary caretakers.

In many cases, the adoptive parents will maintain distance from the foster family in order to help prevent confusion or pain for very young child. And even while contact may be kept for a time, it will often not be lifelong and will taper away as the years go by.

Traveling with me… that’s no life for a kid.

The stress of being a foster parent is enormous. Despite what media often depicts foster homes as being commonly emotionally or physically abusive (which is itself a disgusting representation that I’m not going to get into), foster families of today are vetted thoroughly and provide displaced children with a stable and kind environment. Even when an adoptive family is found, adoption can take months to years, and a foster family provides a child some kind of normalcy until they are ultimately adopted.

You must go. A foundling is in your care. By creed, until it is of age or reunited with its own kind, you are as its father. This is the Way.

I feel like Din’s status as foster parent is one of the most inspiring elements of his character. He suffered so much, despite knowing what he would be giving up. When Luke comes to their rescue at the end, the goodbye between Grogu and Din is bittersweet… but ultimately both Grogu and Din demonstrate that they always understood the temporary nature of their relationship.

I’ve seen him do things I can’t explain. My task was to bring him to a Jedi.

One thing to consider is that children awaiting adoption are commonly placed with people of their own race and culture, wherever possible. I feel like this is much the same with Grogu himself, who is able to communicate with Luke and Ahsoka, but not with Din. In a way, it’s like fostering a child who speaks a different language from you. When the episode with Ahsoka revealed that Grogu could communicate, I found myself wondering at how isolated he must have felt to be without other Jedi for so long. I feel like it mirrors Din’s feelings of isolation without his covert to return home to. They are both torn away from people who share their respective cultures, customs, and languages.

Then Grogu may choose his path. If he reaches out through the Force, there’s a chance a Jedi may sense his presence and come searching for him.

The show made no secret that a huge element to why Din gave Grogu up was that he could not understand Grogu’s powers, and Din fell ill-prepared to deal with a culture so separate and removed from his own. Potentially, yes, Din could raise Grogu as a Mandalorian. But in doing so, Din would be robbing Grogu of his culture of birth. Given how deeply Din feels about such things, I am not surprised that he ultimately decided to give Grogu up.

He wants your permission. He is strong with the Force, but talent without training is nothing. I will give my life to protect the Child.

One final thing to note, and something that specific to Grogu but sadly often doesn’t happen to foster children in real life: Grogu was given a choice. Din could have chosen to keep him. He could have chosen to tell Luke to leave. But he didn’t. When Grogu left, he walked to Luke of his own volition. He chose to reach out through the Force to find him.

Grogu had agency in this situation, which I also think was also a brilliant show of how mature Grogu was, despite what one might think at first glance, and how alone he must have been without anyone to hear his voice.
