I have to say, today what annoys me the most rn is the fact that fans KEEP insisting that Death Watch was oppressed by being exiled to the moon

they were TERRORISTS!

the moon was still WAYS OFF BETTER THAN IN MANDALORE THE TOXIC DESERT! (and if you go with lower canon, they still had agriculture and helped Mandalore sustain itself! the moon still looked okay after the civil war even if the forests were nearly decimated!)

we know from Rebels and lower canon that THEY WEREN'T STUCK TO THE MOON AND COULD GO OUT TO LIVE IN OTHER PLANETS! You want more proof? How about a dude that bombed Sundari was tracked down to Concordia! As in! He left Concordia! And there's no mention of that being a crime!

they had NOBLE TITLES (hello Princess Bo-Katan and confirmed-to-have-been-in-the-throne-room-when-Pre-Vizsla-died Countess Ursa!)!

They were autonomous and Satine let them do whatever they wanted! Since they had their own governor, were a province and Satine seemed to have ZERO IDEA what was happening inside!

We know they weren't kicked out because of warrior traditions SINCE IT'S CLEAR THAT THE NEW MANDALORIANS STILL HAD THEM (the kids still fought, they still had guards, they still had the protectors, they still wore bits of armour)!

If you like the RPG books, then let me tell you that NOT EVERY WARRIOR BECAME A DEATH WATCH AND WERE CHILL DOING LIVING THEIR LIVES AND IGNORING SATINE AND NEW MANDALORIANS!

Going even more into lower canon - the ones confrimed to have been exiled were, and wait for it.... a small number of traditionalists who refused to give up power after apeace movement (aka New Mandalorians) became popular enough to start demanding a stop to wars and essentially things that did not benefit the majority of the population! They were literally just an exiled high-ranking people who were STILL allowed to operate in a moon nearby!

Anyway tldr: stop giving a sad backstory to a group of people who were happy with burning villages, murder, enslaving people, working with crime syndicates to take back Mandalore because they knew they did not have the support of the majority of the population! there's no reason to do that and basically no support for it in canon imo.

Especially when that group of people is low-key implied to be rich dudes who threw a fit at no longer being allowed to do whatever they want (read: pillage, wage war, murder and enslave people) without consequences.

The Kote of Manda'ode! Oya!

From the Tay'haai Solegot <Archivist Computer> of Ver'alor Bo-Katan

We had a glorious past before these pacifist hu'tuune let the Jetii shebse in! Never forget that! Here is some history for you, di’kutlae.

Our history has been DENIED to us! The Republic and the Jetii WANT to keep us ignorant! MANDO’ADE ADOL KYR’TSAD (Death Watch)!

In the eyes of the Kyr'tsad there has always been an alliance between the Dar'jetii and us.

Our own people call us drunks, slovenly and ignorant. Their pacifist ass-kissing cowards are ignorant and would let the Mandalorian people starve! We of the Kyr'tsad are not drunk! Hoping to be “accepted” by the Republic who thumb their noses at us! Meanwhile they call us weak and trick us into believing we have forgotten our Mandokarla!

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine while he was a Senator considered the Kyr'tsad for some work. If we had done it, there would have been no trace of how it happened! (source)

All these people talk about fighting each other in this Separatist War to take from one another! But fighting must be to improve oneself for war! Not for money or fame! But for kote! I’ll take a kov'nynir anyday!

Cuun Akaan! Cuun Aliit! Cuun Mando'ade adol Kyr'tsad! Oya!

Why "Mandalorians didn't want to change, Satine merely forced them to" is a Lie

Here's the thing, we are told that the majority of the people wanted the change and were New Mandalorians, we are told that the only people who weren't were a small minority that had been exiled for causing a damaging war on the planet and population

And it was That minority that kick started Mandalore falling, that brought wars back to Mandalore, that took over via trickery and deception because the majority were Happy with Satine so the only way that said minority could take over was by making her seem incompetent and convinced the population of exactly that

Mandalore was a tragedy in the Clone wars because people WANTED to change, they were HAPPY with the change that Satine brought, but because an Extremist Minority didn't like it so they all Suffered

George Lucas said that the Prequels were a story about how a democracy fell, and I see The Clone Wars Mandalorians as another chapter of that, but this time it wasn't because of the civilian inaction, it was because while the people did Everything Right, they suffered under things out of their control and an Extremist Minority used propaganda and staged attacks to take over at the first chance they had.

Real Talk

How do I pick which fic series I want to work on? I know the main theme I currently have is wanting to flesh out how I write Death Watch more. So, I get two options for that: Solus and Mirdala.

Solus' perspective is different from Mira's in a lot of ways. She grew up between two cultures (Mandalorian and Jedi), was meant to be an Alii'alor, and was trained for it. Her pedigree includes advisors and spies, she's gifted at face to face spying and political games, and joins after she discovers the treachery committed against Mandalore by a False Flag Operation. Something which seems even fishier than what she discovered. When she leaves the Order it is in disgust and anger. She joins Death Watch because the way forward is with them. They're the ony ones fighting.

Mirdala never left the Mandalor Sector. She bounced planets including training among the Journeyman Protectors. But, she never lived outside of her culture. Instead of the affluence of an aliit like the Vetra's she was raised by an esteemed bounty hunter. Becoming a Protector was an honor for her. When she joins Death Watch it's from seeing the corruption growing within the New Mandalorians. She's watching her people go hungry so she traded weapons and secrets for supplies without joining. It was never a political statement because it was desperation to keep people living for a better tomorrow. When she finally joins it's because they respect her without belittling or speaking down to her. And they helped when no one else would. She becomes an Alii'alor for Aliit Demar but her title was basically defunct until she recieved it do to legalese and red tape. She's a scout and a tracker, not an in person spy even if she learns how to play mind games fast, and a sniper.
