i have so many edit ideas but they’re all such niche songs like who wants an edit of the jedi that survived order 66 to a folk song about leaving my homeland for better things? it’s literally perfect but it’s way too niche
i forgot how much obi-wan pisses me off in this episode like i love him but dude, come on.
satine is clearly stressed out of her mind and he keeps popping up like “i just heard about the senate”, “i just heard about the accident” STOP HEARING ABOUT THINGS AND START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.
also read the room and stop repeatedly calling her your friend for one minute this is NOT the time to be reminding my girl about That.

Many fanfictions I’ve read often portray the New Mandalorians in an unfavorable light- the more extreme saying that the New Mandalorians committed cultural genocide. But did they really? Well, here's a short essay-like thing I made of some details about New Mandalorian culture, laws, and ruling that show how they interpreted different parts of traditional Mandalorian culture. (Note: This is purely for fun, and I used Wookiepedia articles as a source, mainly the ones on New Mandalorians. So, don't take super seriously :D)
First, here’s some important facts to know about Mandalorians: the Resol’nare, or the Six Actions, is the core idea of Mandalorian culture. It consists of six main tenets: the wearing or armor, knowing self-defense, knowing the language of Mando’a, following the Mand’alor, and the teaching of children and further generations. So the question here is this: have the New Mandalorians exiled any who follow this code, or ban parts of this code, or really done anything that actually bans non-bloodthirsty Mandalorians from remaining on the planet? Well, let’s find out! (Courtesy of Wookiepedia article surfing).
So, the first issue of the New Mandalorian leadership: Do they ban armor? While both the Legends and Canon articles explain that the New Mandalorians gave up their own armor, nowhere does it say that they forced anyone else to give up armor- simply that they themselves chose to. In fact, in Legends, it is said that a number of New Mandalorians still chose to wear traditional Mandalorian kamas. So, no, there isn’t ever a mentioned ban on armor that the New Mandalorians enforced.
Second issue: did the New Mandalorians ban weapons? Yes, or at least to an extent. In Legends, it was illegal for offworlders to bring weapons into New Mandalorian territory at or by 22 BBY. However, it didn’t seem to be illegal for the citizens of New Mandalorian cities to hold weapons- or at least not Satine Kryze, who carried a deactivator with her at all times. (Though whether or not she needed a permit for this or if regular citizens could carry weapons is unknown).
Third issue: Could the New Mandalorians fight? While it’s not really mentioned if they could or couldn’t, it is mentioned that while New Mandalorians still stood against bloody violence against sentients, they accepted non-lethal self-defense in certain situations. Meaning that it wasn’t a crime to be able to know how to fight, or to fight back when necessary (though it was likely illegal to begin a fight). In fact, it was canon in both universes that Satine Kryze knew how to fight and could hold her own, and was said to have good aim with a blaster. She explained to Obi-Wan at one point that even though she was a pacifist, she wasn’t afraid to defend herself. Seeing as Satine was the leader of the New Mandalorians, then it was probably fine for the New Mandalorians to at least be able to know how to fight.
Fourth issue: Do New Mandalorians speak Mando’a? This is a bit trickier. It is canon, however, that Satine Kryze can speak Mando’a, having understood a bomber speaking in the Concordian dialect of the language and speaking back to him in the same. As for the written form of Mando’a, in Wookiepedia’s legends article on Mando’a, it is said that “The New Mandalorians used written Mando’a quite frequently in their everyday lives.” So, while it’s not entirely clear whether most New Mandalorians can speak Mando’a or not, they are said to be able to read and write in it.
Fifth issue: What about following the Mand’alor? Well, it’s said on the legends article for New Mandalorians that the New Mandalorians made their own Mand’alor- though the only named person with this title is Satine Kryze, so it’s not entirely mentioned how long this practice existed for. Regardless, there is technically a Mand’alor of the New Mandalorians, even if most other clans wouldn’t recognize their rule.
Sixth Issue: So, for the last issue of the Resol’nare in comparison of the New Mandalorians: raising children as Mandalorian. While it’s not said if the New Mandalorians pass down self-defense skills and such, there doesn’t seem to be any mention of them banning the teaching of children in a more traditional outlook (so long as it doesn’t involve weaponry and needless violence). Plus, a simpler version of the Resol’nare would simply be ‘education’, in which case the New Mandalorians do educate their children (even if they have centralized education instead of individualized).
Conclusion: While most New Mandalorians choose not to follow the Resol’nare, there doesn’t seem to be any laws in the New Mandalorian rule that prevent traditional Mandalorians from living peacefully on-planet. While no armored Mandalorians are ever pictured as living on-planet during the New Mandalorian rule, it is never said that every traditional Mandalorian was banned from the planet- only that the ‘warriors’ or ‘militant traditionalists’ were exiled. Therefore, it seems entirely possible that so long as a follow of the Resol’nare didn’t start any fights, they could still follow their codex in most senses, even if they sort of stretched the bit about following the Mand’alor to include the leader of the New Mandalorian movement. While, in my opinion, New Mandalorian culture is incredibly boring with their cube-shaped everything and largely white color scheme, they don’t seem to have committed a cultural genocide (at least not canonically in either universe with the details available). Instead, it seemed they only banned the people who would not stop fighting (against each other or the New Mandalorians, at least).
There are, of course, issues with the whole ‘blond-hair, blue-eyed, human’ population that the New Mandalorians seem to have- at least when you compare it to the mixing pot that is the traditional Mandalorians. There’s also the issue of corruption (though this wasn’t spared in the traditional factions -cough, Montross, cough-). Oh, and their awful cube-style, though that’s more of a personal note than a ‘that’s pretty inherently not a good thing’. While the New Mandalorians have a very different culture from the traditional Mandalorians, they don't seem to inherently forbid the super important parts of said traditional Mandalorian culture.
Anyway, this concludes my tiny for fun essay on whether or not New Mandalorians performed a cultural genocide like a lot of fan stuff I've seen says they do: doesn’t seem so! There’s still stuff that isn’t great, but they haven’t explicitly forbidden any of the tenants that makes a Mandalorian who they are. Though feel free to correct me if you see anything incorrect, or if you have a different interpretation of something! This just stemmed from a question I had for a fic I'm writing, and thought I'd share the small bits of research I'd done :D
And now, to mark the end of Obitine Week, I present, the Obitine fanfic I wrote when I was 10 years old.
please be kind
yes, these are the original slides it was written on.
yes, this is where it ends. we never find out how the rebels reacted to this story, i don’t think i cared.
yes, i published this (on youtube, with copyright free music over it). i think my dad has read it.
and no it doesn’t have a title.
there’s probably more handwritten somewhere.
@obitineweek2026 you asked for this
transcript under the cut :)
The mission was over and the Rebels sat together watching Tatooine's two suns set. Sabine looked around, the usual crew was there, and Bo Katan was with them, the mandolorian who she had become allies with.
They'd ended up here after a supply mission has gone wrong and they'd had to land in order to escape the empire.
Suddenly a voice spoke from behind them.
"Hello there!" said a figure, walking towards them.
Sabine grabbed her blaster, she didn't recognise the voice. The other rebels also prepared to fight.
Bo Katan signaled for them to stand down.
"Bo Katan?" the figure said.
"Kenobi?" she replied, sounding confused.
Sabine whispered "Do you know him?"
"Sort of, a long time ago, during the Clone Wars.
He reached where they were sitting and Bo Katan turned to the group.
"This is Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was a Jedi before order 66."
Kanan stood up and offered Obi-Wan his hand to shake.
"Kanan Jarrus, I remember you from when.I was a youngling.'
Ezra stood copying Kanan, and one by one, the Rebels introduced themselves.
Finally it was Sabine's turn..
"I've heard your name before, I'm Sabine Wren."
"Sabine?" Obi-Wan repeated.
He looked at Bo Katan
"That's too close to..
"I know." Bo Katan said over him.
Obi-Wan looked at Sabine.
"Where do you get your name from Sabine?"
"I don't know. Everyone thinks it's after the old duchess but my parents have never said."
The old Jedi master gave a sad looking smile.
"Did you know her?" Sabine asked, looking at Obi-Wan and Bo Katan.
"She was my sister" Bo Katan said first.
"You're a Kryze?" Sabine asked, looking surprised.
"And I had a few missions to Mandolore." Obi-Wan explained.
Obi-Wan was in love with her." Bo Katan added.
"When I was very young." Obi-Wan clarified.
"I thought Jedi weren't allowed to be in love.
" Ezra joined the conversation.
"I nearly left the order for her."
"What was she like?" Sabine asked,
"Not just what we were taught about her."
Obi-Wan smiled, "Let me tell you a story.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were on Mandolore.
They had been sent to protect the Duchess of Mandolore, Satine Kryze, as fighting had started as not everyone agreed that she should rule Mandolore. They thought that the Mandolorians should stay being warriors and didn't agree with her idea of peace.
The three of them were on the run from the people that were against her.
Obi-Wan and Satine were the same age and had quickly become friends.
They had landed on a moon, which is where they had been hiding for almost three weeks.
Before that, they had spent over four months being chased by different people. They never stayed in one place for too long.
But this place was different, they hadn't been found yet and they were starting to make a routine.
The plan was to find a ship with a good enough hyperdrive to get them to Coruscant where Satine would be safe, but they hadn't found one yet.
Every day, Qui-Gon would go to the local town to see if he could find a ship, and to buy food and things they needed. Obi-Wan and Satine would stay at the hiding place, making sure they weren't found.
This was a day that Qui-Gon had gone to the town. Satine and Obi-Wan were sitting outside in the grass because it was sunny.
Satine had shown him how to make flowe hains, and he was sort of able to split the stems to add another flower. As a result, his padawan braid now had tiny flowers in it.
Obi-Wan thought that he'd like to stay there forever. No lessons at the Jedi temple, nobody trying to fight them. Just him and Satine in a field on a sunny day:
Their clothes were all simple clothes and they were dusty, but Satine's flowers made them look nice even if they needed washing.
As the sun began to set, Obi-Wan watched Satine happily running around in the grass.
He thought that she might be the prettiest person in the galaxy. This confused him though, because he was a Jedi, and they weren't allowed feelings like that.
But as she sat down next to him, out of breath but happy, he had to tell her.
So, to end obitine week, I’m posting a drawing I started last August. Obviously nearly a year ago my art skills (mainly my rendering skills) weren’t as good as now, which is why this looks so two-dimensional, but I spent countless hours on it last autumn and never posted it, so it felt appropriate to post it now 💜
writing fanfictions like god intended (with pen and paper, starting from a random scene that sprouted in my mind, with a vague-ass plot and mostly feelings, with the intent of making my favourite character suffer)
🗣️this is for the 5 ppl that still gaf about obiwan and satine in the big 2026
