Ghost Anakin
Can we please take a moment and appreciate that Legends and Disney-Canon's Force Ghost Anakin confronted member of his family (Cade Skywalker) and/or friend (Ahsoka) when they were in trouble and he decided to show up to them as a Jedi to pass the warning/advice
but when they weren't willing to listen, he changed into Vader
to trash them as the Sith Lord
I don’t know why he is like that but I bow respectfully to his ghost’s communication skills.
so bc im insane, this actually shouldnt be seen as a joke or a goof and should instead be seen as a legit part of mandalorian culture
in the republic commando books one of the clones-turned-mandos had special needs due to a TBI he received in battle. while they didnt modify his helmet, they wrote on his helmet to indicate that he had been injured:
Parja reached up and patted [Fi’s] helmet. She’d painted it with the Mandalorian letters M and S for mir’shupur — brain injury — just like a battlefield medic might do for triage purposes. On Mandalore, the symbol functioned as a blend of a general warning to give the wearer a break, and a medal for combat service.
— Republic Commando: Order 66, pp 39
so mandalorians, as much as they are a warrior people, do not stigmatize, nor misunderstand, mental illness or special needs. they, in fact, do understand that people have their limits, and that not everyone is the same.
anyone can become a mandalorian. no matter your gender or race or limitations. what matters is your dedication to your family, clan, and people. so yes, they would, in-universe, allow modifications for any mandalorians that couldn’t wear the classic helmet.
In the game Jedi Academy, when a character falls a distance, they have a short little gasp or yell. It's mostly the same for every avatar.. except if you play as Luke. Then you get this OMG-dramatic-unforgettable scream that is amazingly and laughably over the top.
the most tragic thing that has ever happened in Obi-Wan's life is actually his fandom characterization

the Star Wars universe is great because you read enough you eventually find out things like the fact that the Stormtrooper whose armor Luke stole in Episode IV was gay and in an affair with fucking Grand Moff Tarkin, which is a completely canonical fact that I am not making up.

Answer: because the people who make that brain leap of all clones being the same as each other / the same as Jango are either unconsciously or consciously objectifying them and dehumanizing them, reducing them to their role as soldiers for the Republic instead of seeing them as people with individual personalities, thought processes, experiences and goals.
Like sure, they have a lot of things in common because they grew up in the same place and are all fighting in the same war. But no two clones have the exact same life experience.
" if you ship w/ one clone, it's like shipping w/ all of them. " me, gnawing at the bars of my enclosure, trying to figure out how people don't comprehend that they're all different in personality and its the realized sentient nature (because the narrative of their creators is that they are, essentially, disposable and thus all of the same baseline, canon-fodder existence) that makes their forced betrayal at the end exceptionally agonizing.
