I think it would be funny if Kaminoans had like shrimp genders, where their identity and grammatical pronouns are completely decoupled from anything to do with physical appearance or reproductive role (they reproduce through cloning, and their offspring get designer genders), and they do not expect outsiders to be able to discern between these statuses (and, frankly, prefer it that way)

this, in conjunction with the way that Mando'a has none gender with left knife, means that the clones grow up without really considering gender when speaking

which has the fun consequence of their utter confusion when expected to use Basic, which does have both grammatical and personal genders

they land on the 'safe' solution of referring to every natborn they encounter as 'sir'

ONLY ONE IS CANON. PLEASE READ THE QUESTION.

* For the purposes of this poll, both Legends and Disney qualify as canon.

** Eminent domain

Don't give away the answer before the poll ends! I'll reblog with an explanation once it's done.

"Why the big red--" I've already had five people vote in the wrong direction.

Ahsoka at the Siege of Mandalore

[istaricelebelasse]

An AU where Maul kills Sidious on Mandalore, causing new problems for everyone including, but not limited to:

The Chancellor of the Republic being murdered on a neutral planet

Dooku and Maul arguing over who is the True Sith

Mandalore being Mandalore aka trapped in a civil war, fending off the republic, and also hosting a Sith Lord on a Victory Rush

Sidious’ plans unravelling in new and fun ways as things are unwittingly (or deliberately) set off

Maul, on his Victory Rush, continuing to plot his revenge on Obi-Wan

[radiosummons]

I'm literally on my knees, begging and sobbing for the Mandalorians to have a normal fucking government. The sequel here

Mand'alor and Fett

also a plain color and lineart version

(seriously every generation with a named Fett features at least one of them being the Mand'alor's best friend or family)

had this idea in my head for like a week and just had to draw it mand'alor arthur trying to find peace after galidraan and explorcorps merlin who tries to document mandalorian history (they fall in love)

[padawansuggest]

The hill I want to die on: shig is technically a tea in the same way as rooibos (one example; which isn’t a tea bush, but a pea plant) which means that actually Mandalore has tea and they probably have a million blends they mix or make themselves and Obi-Wan should NOT be suffering to find ‘tea’ by another name within the company of Mandalorians.

Now, I know someone who v much hates rooibos so like. Yeah. Maybe he’ll hate it. But. It’s not a tea desert 🤷‍♀️

ROUND THREE: MATCH-UP ONE

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

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

SATINE KRYZE

Anon: Satine because she served. Mandalorian fashion week would love her. Manda'slay.

Anon: Satine Propaganda: Was supported by the STRONG MAJORITY, led Mandalore to be in peace for NEARLY 20 YEARS, didn't ban mando'a or armour or any part of the culture like fandom claims, is a good fighter, considered EVERY Mandalorian a Mandalorian and didn't discriminate

@lightsaberwieldingdalek: Satine propaganda: she actually ran a functioning government. Not a mercenary band, or a death cult, or a terrorist extremist organisation, an actual functioning government. Yes there was corruption, corruption she did her best to stop to the point of personally getting in firefights with smugglers, but she took a planet devastated by civil war and by the end of her rule she had schools, public works, and a justice system. - Sure, the rest can run military operations (and we don’t know Satine couldn’t, only that she *won’t*) but can they make the bins get emptied regularly to go to the recycling plants?

COMMANDER CODY

Anon: Propaganda for Commander Cody: - Cody was a student of Alpha-17, who in turn had been personally trained by former Mand'alor Jango Fett, giving him a strong training lineage claim to the title - Cody's service as Marshall Commander in the GAR gave him a lot of the diplomatic, organizational, and military experience needed to govern a planet like Mandalore

@spacetime1969: This man has led more people at once than anyone on this list.

Anon: Cody should be Mand'alor because it would be unspeakably sexy

@cha0s-cat: Cody has experience with negotiating from accompanying Obi-Wan, he leads a massive amount of his brothers already. Can recognize when there is a need for negotiations vs a need for violence. This would balance out the majority of the two factions (pacifists/traditionalists) excluding the extremists on either end. And with the amount of chaos that he has to deal with when it comes to Obi-Wan and Anakin, this would probably be relaxing.

@skykind: - Has resisted fascism and its attendant police/military state at great personal risk (Bad Batch 2.3), which is apparently necessary to successfully govern Mandalore so long as Death Watch is fully armed and also backed by someone more cunning than their usual leadership (Clone Wars 5.15). - Possesses exceptional leadership and organizational ability from his time as one of the highest-ranked Clone officers of the GAR. The Clone Wars and Bad Batch narratives furthermore present him as Obi-Wan’s peer, so he should be interpreted as equally skilled, wise, kind, and unhinged-in-battle as Obi-Wan. Jury’s out on the sarcasm. - Turns to diplomacy before fighting (Bad Batch 2.3). - Has caught a Jedi’s lightsaber mid-battle at least two times (Clone Wars 1.20 and Revenge of the Sith). This is a very useful skill to have as the prospective or current leader of people who keep chucking the darksaber about. - Has returned a lightsaber to a Jedi at least two times. This is a crucial skill to have as the prospective or current leader of people who should stop selecting said leader via darksaber acquisition.

@antianakin: [From the Boba vs Cody poll] So in a very practical sense, if I'm just looking at it with the question of "Who actually has the skills to be a good leader of people" [between Boba and Cody] then the answer is undoubtedly Cody. Cody was trained his entire life presumably to be a Commander in a large army and seems to do that very successfully for three years. He seems fairly humble, has good teamwork skills, he's kind and understanding and merciful, and he's a very skilled fighter. All of this would serve him exceedingly well if he chose to take on a leadership position, on Mandalore or otherwise. - The one downside to Cody is that Cody shows exactly zero interest in Mandalore at all. Cody does not identify as a Mandalorian at any point and never seems like he'd want to, let alone LEAD the Mandalorians. I do not personally see Cody actually being WILLING to lead Mandalore if offered the opportunity, even if he'd definitely have the skills to do so. I feel like if it were offered to him or fell into his lap somehow, he'd just pass it off immediately to the next most qualified person who was interested in it. Mandalore is not his problem or his responsibility and he's not about to change that.

There was a lot of discourse on the Bo-Katan vs. Cody poll, but it was largely "this is why the other character is a bad choice" rather than "this is why my fave is a good choice," so there isn't really a good way to include it.

In essence, the argument that Satine Kryze destroyed Mandalorian culture boils down to an overly simplistic perspective which reduces Mandalorian culture to violence and warmongering. The vitriol directed at Satine for “destroying” this stems from the fact that what she actually destroyed was the romanticised macho warrior fantasy which may be said to form the basis of many Star Wars fans’ obsession with Mandalorians. This fantasy is symptomatic of a wider obsession in Western media with romanticised representations of warrior societies, such as Japanese samurai, ancient Greek Spartans, mediaeval knights, and Roman legionaries. However, these representations are themselves oversimplified, and gloss over the real impact of the violence these groups participated in and perpetuated in favour of focusing on arbitrary ideals like honour and glory, much like how the impact of the violence in Mandalore’s history is frequently glossed over in attempts to make Satine into the bad guy. In this essay, I will-

The instant gratification gremlin in me cannot handle this. So naturally I had to draw this meme to fill the void.
