I have a headcanon where it would be Siri Tachi and Satine Kryze switching places for a few days. Siri would be the Duchess and Satine a Jedi. If they look a lot alike, I think this could work for a mission. It reminds me a bit of Padme and Sabé.

Satine deserved the best... and long before I knew about Legends, when I saw her in The Clone Wars I imagined that she would easily be a Jude Watson female character. She reminded me of Cerasi in a way ♡

But at the time I watched The Clone Wars, even though I liked Satine and Obi-Wan as the characters they are, but their romance didn't seem very good to me and honestly it would have been better to not even have that romantic tension between them.

Some might think it would be perfect if Obi-Wan left the Jedi Order, but if that happened, Obi-Wan would still be a figure marked by his Jedi identity. And Satine, being a ruler who fought against the warrior tradition of Mandalore, would not have her job made any easier if she linked her name to that of a Jedi with whom Mandalorian culture has historically been at war for generations. That would be politically unsustainable. It would be bad for her image as a politician/monarch. Only if she also wanted to abandon her government to live a simple life with him, but to me it seems obvious that she would never give up the career she fought and worked hard for.

“I would have left the Order if you had asked me to” sounds more like a romantic gesture than a mature choice. But in doing so, it weakens the character’s coherence. Because a Jedi like Obi-Wan shouldn’t outsource such a crucial decision, especially in an emotionally charged situation and at a time in his life when he was very young. It’s as if, instead of showing Obi-Wan’s greatness for having made a difficult choice, the script chose to turn him into yet another victim of “what if”, feeding the cliché of romantic tragedy. This may even move some fans, but it doesn’t respect the psychological depth or inner strength that he already demonstrated from a very early age. This difference between acting on conviction and waiting for someone else to decide for you is what separates true maturity from mere romantic idealization.

When he said he would have "left" the Order, he was a teenager. As an adult, he does not reinforce this desire, even though he had the chance to talk to Satine about their mutual feelings. This shows that he chose to be a Jedi, and that the feeling was not strong enough to generate action, because he had already made up his mind and it is ridiculous that there is a sense of regret.

In Legends, Obi-Wan does indeed leave the Order for a time during the events in Melida/Daan, of his own free will and because he is emotionally involved in the fight for justice and with Cerasi. But he returns because he realizes, on his own, that he is not yet ready to abandon the Order or his path as a Jedi. This choice is his, it comes from reflection, pain, and maturity. He makes mistakes, learns, and grows from them.

If Satine had the maturity not to ask Obi-Wan to leave the Order, it shows that she was capable of understanding the weight of her decisions and the consequences for both of them. She thought about his future and respected him. So, it makes no narrative sense that, years later, she remains emotionally stagnant, stuck in a one-year teenage love, as if that was the only true love in her life. It saddens me to see her in The Clone Wars still thinking/waiting for Obi-Wan after so many years until she was 30. This attachment weakens the character, who should be a woman who learned from the past and moved on, especially because she was a strong and courageous political leader. Giving her this narrative of eternal waiting or attachment to a youthful passion contradicts the maturity she herself demonstrated by not asking Obi-Wan to leave the Order.

She is a pacifist, independent, articulate political leader with an interesting past. But instead of letting her grow as a leader and a woman, they chose to turn her into a martyr of a teenage love frozen in time that she seems to have hope for the future of.

Just imagine the power of a Satine who moved on, married someone aligned with her ideals, built a family, and still maintained a respectful and loyal friendship with Obi-Wan, both acknowledging what happened in the past but walking with dignity in the present. This would make both of them stronger. I believe that this way she would have a more dignified future and not die serving as bait for Maul's pathetic revenge. She could have managed to escape, hide for the time necessary until Maul was removed from Mandalore and she could return to rule. There is always a way.

Rest in peace, Satine. You deserved to have new experiences, a new love, a family and a long life. 💌

Obi-Wan and Siri Tachi ♡

[siriwanblog]

Their blades flared and flashed, crashing together with bursts of fire, weaving nets of killing energy in exchanges so fast that Anakin could not truly see them- But he could feel them in the force. The Force itself roiled and burst and crashed around them, boiling with power and lightspeed ricochets of lethal intent. And it was darkening. Anakin could feel how the Force fed upon the shadow’s murderous exaltation; he could feel the fury spray into the Force as though some poisonous abscess had crested in both their hearts. There was no Jedi restraint here. Mace Windu was cutting loose
