Reblog to punch Tor Vizsla in the face

You go on a rant about how rich Mandalorian history is (and why the Kryze sisters suck) and after explaining all of the above, you get a "but it's not canon" 😑😑😑

Satine Kryze did not unite Mandalore.

The Mandalorians splintered into different factions to oppose the pacifistic New Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Civil Wars, since the pacifistic ideology embraced by the group was an attempt to erase their heritage: the honorable warrior ethos (the Resol’nare) that had been the cornerstone of Mandalorian culture for centuries. Satine became the leader of the New Mandalorians, likely due to belonging to a family her faction regarded as nobility.

Eventually, the Mandalorian Civil Wars escalated to the point that the Republic Senate felt it had to intervene. The Jedi Council fell under the authority of the Republic’s Judicial Department, meaning that the Jedi Council sending a team of Jedi (Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan) to protect Satine was, in effect, the Republic deciding which faction’s victory would be most favorable to the Republic. It wasn’t an attempt at mediating a solution for the warring groups; it was an endorsement of a future regime.

The alleged ‘peace’ that’s portrayed during the Clone Wars only exists because the Republic intervened on Satine’s behalf (via Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan), and thus promoted a New Mandalorian victory which resulted in True Mandalorians and Death Watch alike being exiled from the planet entirely. Satine didn’t unify anything. She took a position of authority over a wartorn planet whose core population of survivors was comprised of people that already agreed with her.
