In the MandoWords Discord and on this blog we’ve made a bunch of Mando’a words and now we’re upping up our custom Mando’a words game by letting you submit your own words!
These words will go through a vetting process done by myself and a few moderators from the Discord server to make sure the words work within the Mando’a grammar rules. Here are the things we will be looking for in submitted words:
The construction of the word needs to make sense. This means that you must use words that are already established in the Mando’a dictionary. You can cut them up and squish them together, just make sure the meanings of the words you’ve put together to create your new word make sense!
Pronunciation. Just like on Mandoa.org, your words need to have their pronunciation written next to them. It’s suggested you use the pronunciations from the words used to create this new word.
Parts of Speech. Is it a noun? Is it a verb? Is it an adjective? We need to know because words may be the same in english but be different in context. In mando’a the words used in the construction of the word make decide what type of word it is.
You can submit your words HERE and we’ll get to adding them as soon as we can. You can see if your word has been approved by our vetting team HERE and you can see the official MandoWords public mando’a dictionary HERE, or by going onto the blog, clicking the “pages” drop down menu and selecting the option for “Public Mando’a Dictionary.”
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS Character Encyclopedia (DK) (2010): BOUNTY HUNTERS, PIRATES, AND CRIME LORDS + Fun Facts: (Note: This book falls under Legends, so it is not canon, but it’s still a ton of fun! It’s also only based on the first two seasons at the time of publication.)
Aurra Sing is rumored to be a former Jedi Padawan who left and is now their sworn enemy.
Trandoshans can regrow limbs, but it’s a slow and painful process, so they’d usually rather avoid it if possible, thanks.
Hutts see in the ultraviolet spectrum.
Professional scavengers are often quick to arrive after space battles, scouring debris fields for droids, weapons, and starship parts they can repair and sell.
Cassie Cryar’s bone mask hides her true features.
USEFUL FOR: Sometimes you just need a bounty hunter or assassin that’s not Cad Bane or Aurra Sing! Here’s some more options instead.
Want to make this brush? Just make a perfect circle and save it (I call mine “round”) and use it as the bitmap, and copy the settings above. It works pretty nicely 😀
aHHHH HOLY SHIT WHEN DID THIS POST START TRENDING?!

Please download from the official FireAlpaca websites, because a friend of mine simply googled FireAlpaca and downloaded from some random site, and she got malware! So PLEASE be careful.
FireAlpaca has a suggestion/bug reporting box on their site so you can request features, or let them know if you’re having any issues! Also FireAlpaca works fantastically on Mac computers! (though I will say the only time FA has crashed on me is when I used a Mac, so PLEASE save your work often)

The Essential Guide to Warfare states that aberrant clones represented just 3.5 procent of each batch but since one clone batch count 32, that means 1 of 32 clones has undesirable mutation or is deficient. And that is result of cloning from original source (Jango’s DNA) – a result seen as a testament to the effectiveness of the slow-and-steady Kaminoan cloning program.
I’m no specialist of how genetics works nor what Kaminoan can and cannot do with human DNA, but blond hair is nothing unusual in Jango Fett’s family, since his mother and sister were both blond haired women in Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics:
What I think opens a gate to speculations of what genes Jango’s carried and about his ancestors. Author’s cuts from Warfare were posted on starwars.com and there was one called Internal memo penned by Hali Ke, senior research geneticist, in which the cloner said he have now logged many sessions with our prime clone Jango Fett,
and from the text it seems Jango get not only
physical but also psychological exam
of his well-being what included also talking about his childhood to some degree, at least.
So I suspect, the moment when Kaminoans found a clone with blond hair, it wasn’t that big deal, because they expected that some of their “products” gonna be aberrant one way or another. What may explain why there is the blond clone cadet in the group – the
statistical error.
Rex could be too the statistical error, for all we know. And maybe he is (and his brothers) just telling everyone that his hair are dyed, as an excuse for his different look? Especially now, when clone troopers are allowed to dye their hair, as a sign of their individuality? Otherwise Rex would be forced to admit he is an error of otherwise perfect cloning system, what I think that may be quite an awful & personal thing to do for him.
Can you imagine that? Being seen as aberrant, an error from birth, then being sent for reconditioning, without
certainty
if that means just some genetic therapy or termination – and some clones never came back after Kaminoans took them – that for sure have effect on Rex. Remember “Darkness on Umbara”?
It’s not that “crazy”. After all it was
established that clones can have different eye color because of slight
mutation (Trap’s being blue for example) Same might happen with hair. Of
course it doesn’t mean that all clones have different hair colors
because of those mutations. I’m pretty sure most of them really dyed
their hair to express their individuality. Still, I like to think, Rex
is a natural blond. There is no proof saying otherwise.
And the only time we were shown he dyed his hair it was in blue. He also
was so embarassed by it he shaved them off completely.
The wookieepedia says Rex and the adults clones who looked blonde
had their hair bleached. At least, that’s the case with Rex and Crys. Hotshot
(the clone kid), is described simply as blond so I think @anpan-chan might be
right. Maybe the
older clones look more like Jango but, as the Kaminoans had
to improvise, the newer batches were born more diverse. Btw, I couldn’t find
any reliable source confirming Rex’s natural hair color, so maybe I’m not that
crazy…yay!lol
Rex [about Dogma]: He’s wound tight, but he’s loyal.
Anakin: He kind of reminds me of you.
Rex: Maybe, back in the day.
Rex we know from TCW is not the same man when war just started. I kinda like the idea of him being the “statistical error” because its add to the comradeship between Rex and Skywalker, since both are the aberrant
of their respective groups – Jedi and Great Army of Republic. And who knows, maybe this is one of little things that made them so close to each other?
Also, if the blond hair is natural, Rex may shave them out of habit, as a way to minimalize his visible aberration from other clones.
Title: The Radical Copyeditor’s Style Guide for Writing About Transgender People: 2.8-2.11: Avoiding Invalidating Language Traps
Speech bubbles contrast the following phrases under the headings “Invalidating language” versus “Validating language”: “Women and trans women” versus “Cis and trans women”; “Students who consider themselves ‘non-binary’” versus “Non-binary students”; “Zed, who identifies as agender” versus “Zed is agender”; “her secret was exposed” versus “her history was publicized”; “closeted,” “stealth,” and “passes” versus “private” and “nondisclosure”; and “an out trans man” versus “openly trans” and “public.”
yes, i am aware that there is a chrome extension and also an xkit extension for this, but the chrome on doesnt work for me and my xkit crashes a lot and im sure im not the only one with this problem so here you go
1. go to the blog page with the desired audio post and click play
2. right click on the audio player and select inspect element
3. look for the <audio type=“audio/mp3" section. it should look something like this:
4. copy and paste the highlighted content into your search bar
5. once you have done that, something similar to this will appear
