#Korkie Kryze

[stealingpotatoes]

Korkie is definitely Satine and Obiwan’s secret love child in my eyes. There is no way he’s satines “nephew” I mean we know he’s no Bo-Katan’s kid so…

see that theory's cool, but I'm personally a bigger fan of him being Satine's actual nephew and there being a third, normal Kryze sibling that we never see

(commission info // tip jar!)

Just take a moment to imagine family dinners at Obi-Wan and Satine's place if nobody died and everyone was happy.

Like, on one hand you'd have Korkie and Bo-Katan. On the other, you'd have the entire Skywalker clan plus Ahsoka. Then, after the twins have grown up, add in Han and Chewbacca (and Mara Jade if we're counting Legends). And either Luke or Bo would eventually bring Din and Grogu along...

This is 100% a "we don't talk politics at the dinner table!" family. Like, they've finished all the wine by the end of the starters, there's an argument going on somewhere, gratuitous misuse of the Force occurring left right and centre, Bo and Ahsoka in the corner spilling the hottest tea in the galaxy, Anakin is freaking out that his daughter's dating a smuggler, something's probably on fire.

The newest additions to the family feel so welcomed and also slightly scared.

And Satine and Padmé just look at each other like "Yes, regrettably these are our beloved idiots."

Definitely not related.

HELP I have a silly plot concept and IDK what to do with it Just holding it like. an potato

Basically I saw a "not like other girls" type of thing and it included a ref to the "because I am not like most people (I am a literally not human/I was raised by an assassin program/I am now a dude)" variant where the gimmick is that the reason they're not like other girls actually is really, really rare.

Aaaaaand now I'm thinking of what the best AU would be for Ahsoka to be Genuinely Not Like Other Girls and I've done "I'm not like other Jedi; I'm a soldier" time travel stuff where she is Kind Of Unnerving to pre-war Jedi so many times that it would be more fun to do it the other way.

Which is! Modern AU! Ahsoka is either:

1) A Red Room style assassin who escaped the program and is now Trying To Blend Into A Normal High School while being raised by Obi-Wan (dad mode) and Anakin (college student doing his best to older brother) and keeps having Confusion when her new school friends take her out for ice cream or shopping or something. (This is present in a lot of media but the immediate example in my mind is Season Three of Stranger Things with Eleven and Max going to the mall)

OR

2) Still an alien, but in a less cohesive galaxy, who crash-landed in Anakin and Obi-Wan's backyard and has a Special Watch that can make her look human and they just keep introducing her to people as their Cousin From Abroad, and hoping people are too polite to ask why she's poking the apples like they're going to bite her.

In either case, they may also try to excuse Ahsoka's lack of familiarity with the wider world as Grew Up In A Cult type shit.

Trying to remember who's actually her age that could go to school with her and I am blanking on basically everyone except Korkie? I think maybe Barriss could be a senior while Ahsoka's a freshman. Attempts to Big Sister at Ahsoka and it only sometimes works, tutors when Anakin is busy or bad at the subject, etc. Whoever Ahsoka's friend is, they're walking down the street together and someone tries to mug them and the friend is like oh! Must protect the innocent new friend who grew up really sheltered in a cult and doesn't know the ways of the world! And then she kicks the ass of the person trying to mug them and Very Carefully Does Not Kill.

New friend has stars in their eyes.

In the Assassin version, Plo Koon is her therapist/handler for transitioning into normal life. Government-assigned psychologist that she goes to see at least twice a week. He hands her plushies to hold during sessions, and A Plushie ends up being one of the first things she actually asks Anakin or Obi-Wan to buy for her that isn't purely practical (green owl).

Dave Filoni says that Korkie Kryze is the son of Satine’s brother.

It is common opinion that this is bantha-spit.

I propose a harmonious solution.

Qui-Gon, trying to be empathetic: I sense you have come to…care greatly for the Duchess.

Obi-Wan, deflecting (aka lying through his teeth): She is like a sister to me.

Satine, narrating: And I resolved to tease him about that particular comment for the rest of our natural lives.

Korkie's first day at school and Satine is so proud of her son nephew💙

9 DAYS UNTIL SATINE WEEK

Satine Week will be here soon! Let's get some inspiration flowing!

Satine appeared in 7 episodes of Clone Wars (Seasons 2, 3 & 5) with significant speaking roles.

Which episode is your favorite? If you could have changed anything in any of these stories, what would you have changed and why?

Korkie is a Kenobi and I will die on this hill!

ROUND ONE: MATCH-UP TWO (CORRECTED VERSION)

Remember, this is NOT about who would win in a fight. This is about who makes the best leader for Mandalore as a whole.

Explanation post

Seeding

Propaganda below the cut! You can submit more on this post and I will reblog it back to here!

KORKIE KRYZE

Anon: props for Korkie! We don't know enough to say that he'd be bad at the job like some people! He probably learned some of both what to do and what not to do from his aunts which gives him a leg up in the actual ruling part of things!

@spacetime1969: The kid's got that mandokar spirit. A little more practice in leadership and he could really shape up into someone great.

Anon: Korkie Kryze would be Satine's heir (if we assume she's a monarch rather than an elected official), he was raised to have a position in government, he helped end the career of a corrupt government official, he took classes under Jedi padawan Ahsoka Tano. Additional propaganda: He's my special little guy.

Anon: Korkie has been training basically his whole life to lead Mandalore, has seen first hand the struggles that Satine’s Mandalore had, he also knows what went wrong with the more traditional rulers of Mandalore, so he is perfectly poised to compromise the pacifist ideals of the New Mandalorians and the traditional values of the other citizens of Mandalore.

Anon: For Korkie propaganda: he was literally raised for the role; he showed himself to be a good leader and concerned with his people well-being; he actively works for and fights for his people when we see him; also he's loyal and smart which is always a bonus.

SABINE WREN

Anon: Girlie is the eldest daughter of House Wren, with ties to House Viszla— and therefore has a claim to the heritage of Tarre himself. With the smarts and training her position gave her, she has always put her family and Mandalore first. She made a mistake as a child, and it has been one she has been making strides to set right since such time. She recovered the Darksaber that Maul stole, and began resistance to the imperial threat, battled and fought honorably for her people and family. Respecting both New Mandos pacificism and not discounting their efforts of resistance as well as paying homage to her warrior heritage, she was further trained by the Jedi Kanan Jarrus and Ahsoka Tano to meter her flaws. When she first had the sword, she acknowledged she was too young to lead, and gave up her sword to her elder. Now older, and hopefully wiser, the last standing heiress of clan Wren absolutely has it in her to lead Mandalore in a new era.

@spacetime1969: She's arguably one of the only two people on this list who actually won the darksaber in a proper duel (Not when she reclaimed it from Maul, but when she fought Saxon for it). Not really the point of the poll I know, but it could help her get political support. She rallied her clan and their allies into a rebellion against the Empire. She was the one who legitimized Bo-Katan's rule as Mand'alor by giving her the darksaber. She has experience leading from her time in the rebellion.

So who was going to tell me that Dooku had a long acquaintance with a noblewoman who gave birth to a force-sensitive son (who looks nothing like his father) & Dooku covered up the records so the Jedi wouldn’t know?

Dooku’s got his own Korkie & the Disaster Lineage is on repeat.

My top seven favorite Korkie theories that aren't "obitine lovechild" (because I like to come up with outlandish headcanons to subvert commonly accepted fanon)*

Korkie is just Satine's nephew. This sounds boring on its own but the fun part is that he is convinced he's an obitine lovechild.

Korkie is Obi-Wan's nephew (shoutout to @kazoosandfannypacks for this one; more on it here)

Korkie is Obi-Wan and Satine's nephew (more on that one here)

He's Satine's son but Obi-Wan isn't his dad, however Obi-Wan helped take care of him as a newborn during the year on the run and family is more than blood, so... Obi-Wan kind of is his dad.

Korkie is a random orphan that Satine decided to adopt, but immediately after saying the adoption vows she realized his unfortunate resemblance to Obi-Wan and introduced him to the world as her nephew.

(if you squint your eyes and hc Bo-Katan in her early 30s in TCW) Korkie is Bo-Katan's son.

Korkie is a clone of Obi-Wan.

*let it be stated for the record that I have no beef with Korkie Kenobi. I just think there's funnier options that we're totally missing out on.

Do you support the Korkie Kryze conspiracy theory that he is actually a Kenobi: Yes or No?
