IS HONDO IN YOU SQUAD AU??! There would be even more chaos!
i haven't gotten that fair yet for the full story but he definitely has his appearances.
ahsoka & maul have known him before, barriss only knows about him in talks and ventress has no fucking clue about him - she's not impressed.
when he see's ahsoka he's so surprised "your alive! thank goodness!" and even hug her, ahsoka is too much in shock to see him still alive in the empire era.
"we haven't seen each other in so long! tell me, when was our last meeting?"
"when you tired to sell me dead or alive,"
cue maul drawing his saber at the pirate, barriss in shock and ventress just glares, but both kill him if need be.
he casually flirts with the girls with ticks them off, and when he moves onto ahsoka maul GROWLS and he backs away awkwardly and moves on.
they talk things out (they still don't trust him but get along in some ways) and he exchanges them information without any kind of payment (thanks to maul's & ventress's threats).
i have thought of a scene where it's just ahsoka & hondo, sitting alone after an attack by darth vader - it's silent and ahsoka says, in such a quiet and tired voice, that it's anakin. hondo is shocked but leans back heavily in his seat " oh no...that poor boy..." and ahsoka just tears up, and for a rare moment, hondo is genuinely comforting her (a hug, rubs on her back and quiet "sssh"s). it's heartbreaking cause yay angst!
also: rex does NOT get along with hondo at all - doesn't like him and would rather keep far away from hondo as possible.
