Y’see. I was getting so exhausted by Star Wars bc everywhere I looked there was more mandalorian content. I don’t just mean Din; it’s just everywhere. I can’t turn around with seeing another helmet freak.
So then I was like: oh Sabine is in Ahsoka? That’s cool. Bc at least this is a mandalorian I like.
The thing about Sabine is that she’s an artist. That’s her character. She’s obsessed with weapons like other mandalorians, but not in a “usamerican republican guns make me cool” way but in a weapon specialist and designer way.
She built weapons. She was good at it. Then she saw them destroy people she loved. A culture she loved. So now she used her knowledge of weapons and fought for things like freedom and justice. and she was an *artist* about it. She made explosive graffiti. She painted her armor so she was a walking canvas. She was interesting.
And so, with all the mandalorian stuff in Star Wars rn I thought, ok, well. Still obsessed with mandolarians, bc they’re making money. But at least we’re getting into the type of mandalorian I enjoy. A mandalorian who has a design and a interesting plot to follow.
And then they make her a Jedi!?
WHY?
Apparently we’re only obsessed with the rugged father Pedro Pascal mandalorian and the war criminal who no one mentions is a war criminal mandalorian. The interesting mandalorian gets her entire culture and backstory ignored so we can insult the Jedi order and pretend what the Jedi REALLY need is a warrior who’s not even interested and not force sensitive swinging around a lightsaber without even learning the code.
She can fight with Ezra’s lightsaber and not be a jedi. Go for it. But it’s becoming clear that they’re doing this to show Ashoka as somehow “more inclusive” than the order and like???? Why would you ruin a character your current audience would have preferred before?
