Hey. Reply to this post with your clone OC if I have permission to use them as once off characters in an O66 fic, and also to feed me your OCs, because I genuinely love talking OCs
Legit I want one of those “Darksaber ownership results in the new owner being haunted by Ghosts Of Mand'alor’s Past if the ‘good’ ghosts approve enough” plots but specifically Satine is there and very annoyed because She Was Not Mand'alor! She was an elected official! She did not have the saber! Why is she here!
And Jango and Jaster and Tarre are all bothering her (friendly but mocking) because she did lead the entire Mandalorian sector and was focused on their people’s wellbeing and just because she never took the title doesn’t mean she was anything less than Mand'alor in spirit, you know?
Satine’s ghost: I was not Mand'alor!
Tarre: Ehhhh you kind of were. You didn’t have the sword, but you kind of were.
Jaster: I didn’t have the sword either.
Jango: Fuck it, you kept more of Mandalore alive than I did. You probably have more right to be here than I–
Satine: I was never Mand'alor!
Jaster: The sword clearly disagrees and it’s not like I ever even touched the thing, so clearly we don’t know how that works. Tarre might–
Tarre: I don’t, the kyber’s been weird for centuries.
Jaster: But clearly the sword decided you belong here.
Satine: …if I have to be a ghost attached to the sword that killed me, then I want Obi-Wan’s ghost to visit.
Tarre, former Jedi, perking up: I can make that happen!
Din, who asked for precisely none of this, and has been watching in silence for going on twenty minutes: Uh… who… who are you people?
Jango and Jaster: Go ask Boba and Bo-Katan.
Din: Wh–
Jango: Boba’s my son.
Jaster: My grandson!
Jango: And Bo-Katan is the Duchess’s little sister.
Din: …the blonde?
Jango, looking over his shoulder to where Satine and Tarre are arguing: Yeah, her.
During the year on the run, Satine may have stayed with a covert for a bit
I think that would be cool, and possibly where she first started picking up on regional dialects (e.g. her ability to speak the Concordian dialect, which Obi-Wan is completely unfamiliar with). It's also one of those experiences that helped her really connect with the less mainstream parts of the culture and community she was given the responsibility of representing.
Please imagine: the Armorer from Din's covert and a few of her agemates met Satine.
The Armorer could have been Very Young when Satine came by. Older than Anakin, younger than Obitine. She remembers The Pretty Noble Lady that stayed with the covert for a few weeks trying to save Mandalore.
She remembers that the woman was very blonde, which was fascinating, because she'd never seen that before. (She'd rarely seen hair at all before.)
Canon Satine isn't Force Sensitive but I think that, as an AU, I could take this to insane places. Let's go.
Satine isn't particularly gifted. She's also, being Mandalorian, not getting sent to the Jedi. They find her a private tutor to learn the basics of how to protect her mind, and it's very Whatever. Then war breaks out, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon show up, that's all... happening.
Satine's not very gifted with prescience, or moving things with her brain, or healing. What she does have is an overdeveloped magical empathy, which is. Really not great to have in a war.
She's feeling the pain and anger and grief of everyone they meet, and it only intensifies her pacifism as an ideal. She knows how these people feel, even the warriors. She can't let herself allow it to keep happening.
Her sense of magical empathy is very geared towards 'feel emotions.'
She's. Still not very good at 'see it from their point of view.'
Obi-Wan finds this aspect of her really interesting in a 'I want to get to know you' kind of way. Qui-Gon finds it interesting in an 'I want to study you' kind of way.
A rumor reaches them that Tor Viszla is still alive and running around with the Darksaber. Obi-Wan points out that, objectively, Satine does have the Force, and while her prescience is barely enough to deflect a blaster shot, it's... well, it is enough for that, and so she's probably better equipped to fight a saber battle than Tor is.
Satine hates the idea of fighting for her pacifism, but she acknowledges that Qui-Gon has a point when he says 'fighting one man to end a war in a way that will likely earn you his allies through tradition is a neat way to avoid further deaths', so she learns to saberfight whenever they're stuck in a safe house and in hurry-up-and-wait mode.
So she learns lightsaber skills. She's not terrible, because even as a pacifist, she learned self-defense and has conditioning, and being on the run has really kept her cardio up.
Tor doesn't come out of the woodwork. He's been dead, actually, for all that the rumors say otherwise. Pre, though, has a darksaber with him, and he's not yet ready to pretend to be a pacifist. He's still Campaigning For Political Backing From Traditionalists.
Except, well, then he does. You know. These things happen. Plans change.
And everything ends, more or less normally.
Obi-Wan does something incredibly dumb and gifts Satine his kyber crystal. He's a little stupid and very in love. It's fine.
Satine knows how to make a lightsaber, and she has a crystal. She doesn't do it, really, but she keeps the parts in a pouch on her belt and the kyber on a necklace, and she's... it's fine. She doesn't like carrying a weapon, but a saber can be used in a purely defensive capacity, and this one is usually deconstructed.
Pre kicks off a plan early. He is, for whatever reason, now of the opinion that Satine is honorable. A coward that's destroying whatever he believes is good about Mandalore, but an honorable coward, who will bow to the wishes of the people if it's clear that the majority disagree with her.
And obviously the way that this happens is that Pre shows up with the darksaber and declares himself the (new) rightful Mand'alor.
Satine... hates this. She really does. She does not want to do this.
She invites him to a publicity courtyard. There are already cameras everywhere. Reporters are streaming in. Pre is so ready for this.
Satine removes her necklace and opens her pouch and uses the Force to build her saber in front of the disbelieving eyes of millions.
She holds it before her and says, "For the sake of tradition, and for the sake of ending this conflict with as few deaths and pain as is possible, I challenge you for the Darksaber and title of Mand'alor, Pre Vizsla. If I win, you and your allies will swear to me, and we can avoid another civil war."
It's like. It's a really great way to piss so many people off.
She's using tradition to ruin tradition!
(Satine is so tired of these neofasc jackasses. Come on, guys. This is literally about ensuring less suffering.)
Pre can't back out. He's arguing FOR tradition, and Satine is using that against him. He can't reject someone willing to fight him for the darksaber on equal terms.
Satine barely has any armor, really. It's been sitting on a stand, cared-for but unused, for years.
But she puts it on and takes her place, and she fights Pre.
She wins, and holds the Darksaber aloft, and declares her new title, as both Duchess and Mand'alor, and this is projected across the galaxy for all to know.
Everyone's really quiet after Satine makes her declaration, because Pre just lost a hand, and Satine's ignoring him, and she looks REALLY unhappy about any of this having happened at all, and then one of the Death Watch commandos steps forward, goes to one knee, and removes her helmet, and Satine's just like "Wait, BO?" because she's been under the impression that Bo-Katan died like five years back.
Bo-Katan doesn't look any happier than anyone else here, but her older sister just won the Darksaber in honorable combat and goddammit, Bo-Katan is going to honor that.
Later that night, Satine and Obi-Wan talk on the phone for hours just so she can bitch about how much she hates this entire situation.
Jango, a bounty hunter who still hasn't been tapped for the Kamino project, finds out via Galactic News Channels.
He's not happy. He's not a Satine fan.
He's not sure what he can do about it other than fight her for the saber, except he's not sure he deserves to do that after Galidraan.
I think he just goes to Mandalore and tells her that he's here to be an advisor and no she cannot refuse to hire him. He's here now. Deal with it.
I think if I encountered Yoda out on the street I wouldn’t even be surprised. I wouldn’t be surprised if Yoda was real. I think it’s the muppet effect. He’s more muppet than starwars character, so it’s like when the human actors accidentally start seeing the muppet as a real person. I’d be like ok yeah hi Yoda who’s real
