god, you know what i think about a lot?? sabine’s opinion on the jedi. she was raised in empire-era mandalore (well. krownest. mandalore system) and then sent to the imperial academy when she was 12~13. so there’s no goddamn way she ever had positive opinions on the jedi. and don’t worry, i didn’t forget the siege of mandalore!! yes, ursa fought with ahsoka…. but that was because of bo-katan. bo-katan is not a fan of jedi. during s7 she was even less of a fan of maul so “other enemy of my enemy is my friend” yadda yadda— i’m getting off track. ursa was a nite owl, is my point; an offshoot of death watch. yeah, the nite owls were evidently a bit less hostile towards jedi… but then, the empire. i don’t think it’s talked about enough that the empire absolutely decimated the public’s opinion of the jedi. they said the jedi were planning a coup (which they did, but let’s not get into these details here) they slandered their reputation; for example, they said plo koon killed children. anyway. ursa raised her daughter under imperial rule; it’s shown in season three that sucking up to the empire is very important to her (obviously. to survive lmao). and she’s mandalorian. so tween sabine absolutely grew up hating the jedi. then! the imperial academy— the propaganda against the jedi didn’t contradict anything she’d been taught so far, so why would she question it? she didn’t even really question the empire until they used the duchess like … that. she was raised pretty comfortably. then just because she defected and evaded the empire, why would she question what she’d been taught about the jedi? what would push her? the general public’s opinion hadn’t just flipped after o66, people had been losing faith during the whole war. sabine had known nothing but negativity about the jedi. then!!! she’s found, half dead (ketsu showed no signs of jedi non-negativity, either) by these three randoms and a murder droid. how does she find out kanan’s a jedi? does kanan keep his distance at first, then she confronts him? 14~15 y/o sabine finding herself having to rely on these strange people to nurse her back to health, with nowhere to go.., then she finds out one of them’s a jedi… her whole settling in arc in general. i Crave it. how did her opinion on the jedi change?? ++ we get one line from hera in trails of the darksabre, where she says “remember how long it took for her to trust us.” i’m chomping at the bit where is sabine’s arc about her trusting the crew. taking them as her new family. she’s the most wary when ezra joins, she doesn’t trust him tipping her life —that she finally feels settled into— upside down. he’s 14~15, just like she was when they found her. is the crew trying to replace her? they found a kid who’s got more skills. of course she was only there because she was good with weapons. this kid is force-sensitive! her times up. oh god what now— you get the picture.
