Have another Headcanon today:

Maul's saber staff after Lotho Minor is made with the crystals that went down the reactor shaft with him on Naboo.

One of them from the surviving half of his original.

And the other from Obi-Wan's saber than fell just a few moments before he did.

In the early days, after he attended to the immediate task of Not Dying, he kept both sabers, and slowly bled Obi-Wan's Kyber crystal, destroying the only piece of the Jedi he had within his grasp.

Obi-Wan can barely stand fighting Maul when he comes back. He can hear his old crystal screaming every time. It reaches for him. Begs him. Blames him. It aches, deep in Obi-Wan's heart, to have to cross sabers with it. And Maul takes petty, sadistic glee in that fact.

you absolute bastard

the jedi and the nightsister

I think it would be fun if Satine's pacifism was like. in the same terms as free speech. the government as an institution should not have an army or commit violence and stuff. but as an individual she is free to punch people in the face

It.... is, though?

Did we all watch the same moments where Satine very clearly says to Obi-Wan, "just because I'm a pacifist, doesn't mean I won't defend myself"? Or when she's so furious at the fact that children have been hurt and poisoned by drinks brought into the schools in the wake of the shortages of food that, instead of preserving any evidence, she demands the Sundari police and her Protectors burn the warehouse down?

I 100% believe that Satine punched Obi-Wan in the face in the wake of the Rako Hardeen arc. (As she should.)

I'm not talking about self defense or a strong moral compass I'm talking about the separation of individual and institution.

The government is an institution and should not be armed or involved in violence, the police is an institution and should not be armed or involved in violence, the army is an institution that should not even exist. This much of what I'm talking about is partially her canon view, yes. (And I say partially because the police is still armed in canon, even if probably not lethally.)

But what you and canon fail to get is, individuals are not institutions. She canonically treats individual and institutional acts of violence as being on the same level. In canon the mandalorian cultural practice of wearing armor and carrying weapons is not allowed in Mandalore, even if done as individuals and not as an organized group. And in the very episode where your quote came from, she refused to shoot the traitor because it would be "hypocritical"

If she had the views I'm talking about here, she would not act solely in self defense, or only when provoked to the extreme by social injustice. She would not exile the traditionalists and forbid the practice of an entire facet of mandalorian culture by individual, because she could distinguish personal expression from institutional violence. She would not have a problem with shooting that traitor herself, because she wouldn't be doing it as the ruler of Mandalore, she'd be doing it as a person who moments ago was being held hostage with that very gun.

I'm saying she should carry a blaster herself (even if always set to stun) because she's been persecuted and nearly killed before, she knows running away and staying on the defensive only prolongs the chase, if they want to play with guns she'll play too.

They are trying very hard to be adorable so he won’t ask about The Shenanigans they’re hiding from him.

ya'll hear me out: sith obi-wan and maul ruling the galaxy

plus closeup:

The best thing about Maul is that you don't even have to explicitly Put Him In A Situation. If you just follow his characterization, he'll do that all by himself. Just look at canon. He's been doing it since clone wars.

I'm about to become the funniest genderfluid enby this Republik has ever seen and piss off conservatives at the same time:

Beating the Staat with its own Bürokratie.

Correction. Clearly @babtest is the funniest mfer

the Deep Cut Lasher Lore is that he has his own useless older yellow dath zabrak sidekick who might or might not literally just be savage’s daughter from a nightsister coupling

her name is tri and she’s like one of those cats that likes nothing

some shit about tri:

-dath zabraks who don’t fit the “all-white basically human woman” or “brightly-colored zabrak” phenotypes perfectly are imo pretty common, but the nightsisters are racist so these people are basically shuffled off to their own clan

-given savage’s age and the way the sex slavery on dathomir seems to operate, i’m guessing he had at least one daughter floating around, and tri was one of them. she was born under a decade before the clone wars; she & savage never met

-she was picked up by the inquisitors a couple years after order 66, and hates it; she wields the dark side well because of it, but is as maliciously compliant as the circumstances will allow her to be

-i’m not sure whether she knows her dad & uncle were war criminals or not, but she feels kinship with lasher regardless. she’s incredibly homesick and teaches lasher about their culture at any far-flung opportunity she can.

-career complainer. grumpiest woman you’ve ever encountered in your life. trips random deck officers. 10 times out of 10 would rather use a rock than her lightsaber. “minimum wage, minimum effort” kinda gal

-technically the last (girl) of talzin’s bloodline and she patently refuses to acknowledge it
