YOU think satine kryze clings to pacifism because shes a coward, I think satine kryze clings to pacifism because shes crazy and enjoys the blood of her enemies more than she should. we are not the same
No because I am genuinely convinced that if she weren’t a pacifist she would have become a third fraction in the Clone Wars and fucking wiped the floor
How many politicians can you think of who would go “oh there’s corruption and a black market in my domain, hmmm, how about I go take care of it and get potentially shot in the price my own damn self”? In the prequel era it’s like,,, Satine, Padmé, Bail, and later Riyo. IRL? Fucking none.
She acts all (semi) calm, and civil, and put together, but she’s bat shit crazy in truth and needs let it out every once in a while. She was the defact leader of the New Mandalorians as a young teenager, possibly a PRETEEN (there’s no exact canon age for her as far as Ik, but she’s like more or less the same age as Obi-wan, so we get a rough estimate), became Duchess of Kalevala (her homeworld within the Mandalorian system) at like fifteen-ish, and the Sovereign Ruler of all of Mandalore at twenty at the absolute oldest probably earlier. That and she reformed and rebuilt the whole political system almost entirely.
Weak???? I was gonna say some people wouldn’t know strength and competence if it punched them in the face, but actually with the kind of people I’m talking about, that’s the only way they know it.
Did Satine take pasifism too far? In my opinion, yes, because it got to a point where it was turned against her.
Was the extent to which she adhered to pasifism influenced by the trauma inflicted on her people? Yes, it’s called learning from the past. They were literally on the brink of wiping themselves out and their planet was more or less destroyed. There is a reason why the natural surface of Mandalore and much of Concordia are so devastated.
Was the extent to which she adhered to pasifism influenced by the trauma inflicted on her personally? Probably, yeah. But that’s not weakness, that’s natural. Need I remind you that at the end of the civil war, Satine, a teenager, was the oldest surviving member of her family? Or at least the only one fit to inherit the family title, and the only other known survivors are Korkie and Bo-Katan, who are both significantly younger than her.
Was she a perfect regent or person? FUCK NO, but no one is. That’s the point of her character, to show how difficult it is to walk that line. She is meant to be complex and complicated
