Thrawn Was Raised By A Single Working Mother. After Borika Was Taken To The Skywalker Corps He Was Essentially

Hi, I'm just a random white girl with nothing special going for her, but I would just like to say this...ARAB DAMIAN WAYNE IS FRICKING COOL!

Okaaaaaay! Wild theory time that many will say is totally incorrect!

This theory is partially inspired by this post by @twinterrors29

https://at.tumblr.com/twinterrors29/boba-fetts-reputation-as-the-best-bounty-hunter/cbubdg5i3k36

But it is also just a wild mind tangent that I came up with. Now on with the theory!

...

Boba Fett is a feared bounty hunter, he's been in the game since he was 10 years old, since his father the great Jango Fett died.. He's good at what he does. He's respected and revered. But here's the thing...

Anyone could be Boba Fett.

Throughout canon many have been Boba Fett. In old canon the name Boba Fett was just alias used by Jaster Mereel. It wasn't until "Attack of the Clones" was released that anyone had even heard of Jango. And during "The Clone Wars" TV show, during the arc at the end of season 2, we see that no one can differentiate between Boba and the other clones.

So where am I going with this?

This:

Is not Boba Fett.

Or...well...he might be.

Don't believe me? Neither do I. Here's some shaky proof:

Boba Fett was born in roughly 32 BBY and the show "The Mandalorian" takes place in roughly 9 ABY, which makes Boba Fett approximately 41 years old. During the events of "Attack of the Clones" Jango Fett is 44 years old having been born in 66 BBY (the beginning of the Clone Wars was in 22 BBY lasting till 19 BBY). During which time he looked like this:

(It's hard to find a good photo of him.)

Now YES, the actor has aged, Boba fell into a Sarlacc and is dealing with scaring, and he has spend the last 5 years on Tatooine (we all know how this goes for people...)

But this ⬆️ is the work of 20 years.

Case in point, I have a hard time believing that Boba and Jango are roughly the same age, I mean look:

One obviously hasn't aged as delicately as the other.

There's not really much that can explain this, we fans just look over it because we love Temuera Morrison so much (I love him too).

But who do we know who have accelerated aging that would explain this difference? The other clones, of course.

The clones (with the exception of Boba) were genetically modified so that they would age at twice the normal human rate, at 10 they were physically and mentally 20, and battle ready.

But they aged at twice the normal human rate, why would a 40 year old look 60 instead of 80?

Well there's a simple answer. Deceleration.

In the Republic Commando books, Skirata finds a way to slow the clones aging down to a normal human rate. Unfortunately nothing in canon has shown that this is possible, but as many have pointed out, Rex was looking really spry in "Rebels."

So it is possible that some 10 years after the war, a cure was found.

During the year 19 BBY the clones were roughly 26-28 years old, ten years later in 9 BBY when the "Kenobi" series take place, clones without decelerate aging would appear nearly 50 years old, and lucky for us we see a 501st trooper in a cameo:

Now, he's obviously older and grizzly, but he still more closely resembles the younger Boba Fett than Jango who is closer to his age physically.

...

I'm not saying that anything I've said here is definitive proof that the Boba Fett from "The Book of Boba Fett" and "The Mandalorian" is a Padmé decoy, far from it. But I am saying that there's enough here that there's a chance that it's true. Especially with the drastic personality change that we see from Boba in the original series, stern and serious, dangerous. A personality that even carries over into "The Clone Wars" and the Boba Fett young readers books, though technically Legends now. This new Boba is not the stoic and legendary bounty hunter we know, and that may be the point, but it won't stop me from theorizing.

After all this may be the real Boba Fett:

Or maybe this one:

Or this one!

Or maybe the real Boba is dead.

We may never know...

Which is the real Boba? Are they all the same Boba? How many Bobas are there?

What if the Boba Fett we've come to know and love, isn't even the real Boba Fett?

Proposal: The Kaminoans found Jango Fett to be a prime subject for cloning not only for his mental and physical prowess and training, but also because he was asexual and they wanted their army to not form relationships with civilians. They did not count on the fact that sexuality, much like M-count, cannot be replicated.

Thus leading to the abundance of hidden relationships formed throughout the clone ranks with Jedi, senators, and civies.

Anyway here’s a good boy and some smug asshole

Does anyone have any good Transformers fanfic recs set in the Bayverse where Crosshairs and Drift are together and Drift lets out a little Deadlock?

Actually scratch that, it doesn't even have to be good recs.

X-Men: The Time Traveler's Wife AU, where reader, a mutant uncontrollably drifting through time, forms an attachment to the long lived and possibly immortal Wolverine.

What do you mean incorrect? This is every conversation they've had ever.

Thrawn: Let’s talk solutions. How do we deal with this potential alien threat?

Ar'alani: Unfortunately, it appears that we don’t have any legal recourse.

Thrawn: We don’t have any… “legal” recourse.

Ar'alani: No Thrawn…

More books about the ascendancy characters plz. I need to know that my faves aren’t dead

Thank you for the tag @vibratingbonesbis 💙

I agree with your observations. 2017 Thrawn or Ascendancy is by far the best bet.

I'm not worried about Rebels Thrawn, any of the others could take him on and win. My concern is for Ahsoka Thrawn, he seems to be based at least loosely on the original Thrawn from the 1991 series. And he's a deadly killer.

Still I would choose 2017 Thrawn. Not only because of his connection to thea Empire and Ar'alani, but also because Ascendancy Thrawn is the past him. And he would best know that Thrawn's techniques.

That being said. I would like to spend the most time alone with Ascendancy Thrawn. Maybe a little one-on-one torture session? 😉

Alright, choose one for an adventure, the other three will try to kill you:

- Ascendancy Thrawn

- 2017 trilogy Thrawn

- Rebel Thrawn

- Ashoka Thrawn (I know I cheat on this one)

🎤🎤🎤

Oh no... oh shit, I'm really screwed here 😂 let's be real, my only chance is if they decide it's a competition and somehow get in each other's way.

But let's give this a go: I need the most competent one to come with me so he isn't trying to kill me. I wanna have adventures with baby Ascendancy Thrawn but he's the least experienced one so he'll be on the killing list. Let's hope he's too busy getting harassed by the Syndicure and going to tribunals

Rebel Thrawn is scary af but the Ghost crew slipped away from him enough times so he's got the worst luck ever. That'll work in my favor.

Ahsoka Thrawn... idk he just looks tired man, dude just wants to go home at this point probably 😂 plus Ezra may have softened him up in their space wilderness adventure which is totally canon and totally happened. yes.

So that leaves 2017 Thrawn as my adventure buddy. 10/10 outcome as he's the most Sherlock Holmesy of the lot. Also if he brings Eli and Faro along, I'll die happy when the other three eventually kill me.

Thank you for the ask!! 💗💗You ramped the difficulty level up to eleven on this one ngl 😂

Live action Thrawn got me kicking my feet, giggling, and twirling my hair wtf
