I used to get irritated and be completely baffled by why Rex always gets to go on the cool missions with Obi-Wan Anakin and Ahsoka when Cody doesn’t but then I realized
Cody is the marshal commander and is busy running half the damn army he doesn’t have time to go on random ass side quests someone has to be the adult and stay home
Oh, also, I just want y’all to know? There are ways to safely pickle and marinate marine life (mainly crabs and shrimp and lobster, nice and crunchy) and so I imagine instead of Obi-Wan panicking every time his goblin tries to eat raw foods he’d learn how to pickle stuff so he can feed Anakin raw meat with every meal without worrying the gremlin is going to get sick and die.
Chewie is short for Chewbacca
Ani is short for Anakin Skywalker
What is Luke short for?
A stormtrooper

Alright, so I might have been slightly obsessed with Cody since he went from stoic professional to spin-kicking a droid within the first 5 minutes of the pilot movie.
FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING NEWS
Mandalorian version of Cinderella where the Cinderella figure is a little foundling who was taken in by a noble clan but only for appearances, they're actually mean to them and don't bother training and outfitting them the way they absolutely morally should, but they're plucky and persistent and learn everything they can by observing and practising alone, and then one day there's an announcement of a grand fighting tournament in honour of the new Mandalore, and everyone's very excited and sprucing up their armour for the occasion and the foundling asks if maybe they could go and they get cruelly laughed at and told that of course they can't go, they have no family and therefore they have no armour
so the foundling is left behind while they all go off to have fun
but THEN the Fairy Armourer appears and says "You SHALL go to the tournament!"
and like
picks up a bucket and it magically becomes a beskar helmet
completely outfits them with transformed household objects and sends them on their way with the standard time limit warning, in this case until sunset
they go to the tournament and it is wonderful and they WIN FIGHTS and catch the Mandalore's eye and get invited up to spar with them!
and it's a Very Romantic Fight but just as they've got the Mandalore pinned down they realise the golden light of sunset is shining off their beskar and they have to scram
so they're running off and they trip and lose a shoe and just keep going and that's all the Mandalore finds
and fortunately the Mandalore was a bounty hunter before ascending the throne so they quickly hunt down the mysterious and beautiful stranger without having to ask a lot of randoms to try on a shoe, and they live happily ever after!
[Image ID: A digital painting of Star Wars: The Clone Wars character, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody. They’re facing the viewer, walking together on the right side of the canvas, on a rainy Coruscant day. Obi-Wan is in his season 7 Jedi outfit, and Cody is wearing a grey naval officer uniform, often referred to as “dress greys” by fandom. He’s carrying the cap, and both he and Obi-Wan are holding Obi-Wan’s large, outer Jedi robe over their heads to shelter from the rain. Their faces are turned toward each other while they walk. A wide Coruscant sidewalk with tall buildings on the right side diminishes into the distance behind them. Streetlamps line the sidewalk, and on the left the sidewalk drops off to reveal another level below. A small foot bridge crosses the gap, going off the canvas, toward another sidewalk and more buildings. Several lanes of speeder traffic trail off to the same vanishing point as the buildings and sidewalk, and a few other pedestrians walk or run through the rain. The scene is mostly blue-green and grey, but the lamps cast warm orange light on the nearby figures. End ID.]
Cody and Obi-Wan got caught in the rain while walking back from some undoubtedly boring diplomatic engagement.
This takes place in the Reconstruction Corps AU, some time after That’s not how it happened. This is how it happened, but before Orbital Decay. Ugh, they’re so in love, I hate them. :)
