As someone who has written over 1.4 million words about one particular ship, I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, but maybe dick riding Pre Vizsla and the Magalorians isn't the best use of your time.

Anyway, the New Mandalorians exist because the fucking ecosystem of the planet was destroyed due to the Mando's warmongering and civil wars. They're an anti war political party trying to resuscitate a dying planet. They turn to outright pacifism because their people were decimated by a recent! Civil war!

It's mad that so much of the fandom let's themselves get caught up in "oh but what about self defense, teehee" and "what happens if negotiation fails and you have to do whatever it takes to stay alive". She uses traditional warrior guards, clearly she isn't an absolute pacifist. But even ignoring the fact that some forms of pacifism allow for things such as self defense and even revolution, not to mention non violent tactics like disarming and de-escalation, it's missing the point of what the new mandalorians represent!

War kills people! War kills the environment! Glorifying violence and war makes people hungry for violence and war! That's the message that is being broadcasted to us by the show but people see this and go "b-but 🥺 my violence". Like ... Star Wars has always had anti-war themes helloooo is this thing on?

Ah, the age-old "I don't like it so it's not canon bc I said so", my biggest Star Wars pet peeve!

I get if Obitine isn't to one's liking

But

To say it's not canon or the whole CWS

According to Google and Lucas it is

😅😭🤣

Though the real question is the boy who claims to be Satine's nephew really her nephew

Really enjoying playing dumb on Star Wars TikTok to fuck with one of those "anti-Disney/anti-woke" (read: outright bigoted) Star Wars bros by acting all confused like I just don't understand the flaws in his argument and watching him make even less sense as he tries to explain it

VEL SARTHA + Faye Marsay interviews

What I love about this character is that, the way she's written, I had a lot of freedom to explore the human side of this person who is trying to be part of a rebellion and all the things that make her human.

star wars fans, why do you hate Satine?

and don’t say:

“she committed cultural genocide” (she didn’t)

“she banned mandalorians from wearing armor” (also not true. look at her guards)

“she’s mean” (she’s not. if anything, she’s snarky and sarcastic. yall just hate a confident woman)

“she banned mandalorians from speaking mando’a” (entirely false. she’s one of the only characters in tcw who actually speaks mando’a on screen)

“she exiled Bo-Katan. her own sister!” (right. Bo-Katan. Satine’s sister. Satine’s sister who joined a terrorist group. a terrorist group that was exiled from mandalore for, y’know, being terrorists)

“she gets in the way of [insert literally any obi-wan/male character ship here]!” (you know that most people fall in love with other people after one relationship ends, right? satine isn’t getting in the way of anything girl. if she and obi-wan were even together at all, they’re not anymore. also polyamory exists too)

“she’s anti-war!” (wow a character who is anti-war in the anti-war franchise. how novel)

“she banned warfare, which is the mandalorians’ culture!” (yeah, because it was self-destructive. her entire planet was defoliated because of war, she grew up with war and watched her people be killed all around her due to a civil war that had been going on for centuries. and getting rid of aspects of culture because they’re harmful is not a new thing. look at Maya people for instance, they still exist and still perform rituals, but obviously the human sacrifice bit has been eradicated. because it’s harmful.)

give me an ACTUAL, valid reason that you hate Satine. go.
