Context: Omega is some clone in this new animated show and she’s a girl. I haven’t watched it but the wiki is pretty clear about her being genetically unaltered. Also trans fem clones in the series are not unprecedented :thonk-trans:
Sure. Why not? Trans Omega makes more sense than the fucking brain chips.
I hate how the stupid chips litterily make no in universe difference but removed almost all of the glorious narrative writing of the :shocked-pikachu: level of that heel-turn in a single swoop.
God, it would have been so much better if the Clones just always knew that that was coming. It would color all their interactions with the Jedi up to that point.
The actual episodes where they introduced the chips were very good, at least.
Agreed. I was never happy with it. I made peace with the idea, but I still prefer the unbearably dark idea that they are still brainwashed childsoldiers who will obey the order. Though in all honesty they don’t even know ahead of time. To them Order 66 is a contingency in case the Jedi go rogue, so as far as they know when getting the order, the Jedi are betraying them not the other way around.
I mean personally I’m slighty eh about the first potential canon or whatever transfem representation in the star wars universe being people who were literally breed to be war machines by the state (I mean Omega isn’t she’s specifically made to be a research assistant or something I guess, but that other one is)
Real ‘Supreme Chancellor Palpatine today passes law allowing Transgender clones to serve their compulsory role in the republic military’ hours, but that’s headcanons for yah.
/rj Omega is a cis girl and it’s simply that Jango Fett, Boba and all the other clones are trans dudes.
Everybody sleeping on the “Jango Fett is a trans man” option
I would cite Cut Laqwane having kid with a Twilek as evidence that Jango has male reproductive organs, but while they can breed between species, those are his wife’s kids from another partner, not his biologically
Yeah, this is definitely intended as a nonsense theory, but it would mean that, with a single stroke, Star Wars has more trans characters than the entirety of human literature to date, as to my knowledge we only see male-presenting clone troopers. And given that cloning in the real world produces genetically female offspring, it’s the perfect argument to piss off superfans and transphobes alike.
Would there even be a difference between cis and trans people in a scifi world where they can alter your body down to the chromosomal level?
Also, a question for the lore experts. Do star wars humans even have X/Y chromosomes? Are they inexplicably identical to modern earth humans in literally every way?
Would there even be a difference between cis and trans people in a scifi world where they can alter your body down to the chromosomal level?
Good point. If there was a machine that could change XX to XY and vice versa in an embryo, does that machine cause the baby to be trans or CIS?
Our current framework is based on what we know to be possible. Who knows what Star Wars people believe with all the space magic and technology.
CIS
FYI, cis isn’t an acronym.
Well, we’re talking about Star Wars, so I guess it actually is. But the meaning is very different lol
Love to retcon all my characters into white colonizers instead of indigenous people
