9 DAYS UNTIL SATINE WEEK
Satine Week will be here soon! Let's get some inspiration flowing!
Satine appeared in 7 episodes of Clone Wars (Seasons 2, 3 & 5) with significant speaking roles.
Which episode is your favorite? If you could have changed anything in any of these stories, what would you have changed and why?

I cannot tell you how over-the-two-moons-of-Mandalore I am about the Bo-Katan we got in “The Mines of Mandalore.” While I was hoping they’d treat her character with nuance and not make her a villain, I did expect that they’d immediately set her up as an antagonist to Din’s story. I also expected that we’d pick up in Season 3 with a Bo who was angry, frustrated, despondent, rude, and impulsive and I was ready to defend every one of those emotions.
I never expected the Bo we got in this episode.
She’s fierce and tough, depressed and hurting, but then we also get these sad smiles and longing looks and these beautiful moments where her gentler side comes through.
She’s wields the Darksaber with skill and precision and the expertise that comes with both practice and willingness to connect with the saber the way Kanan taught Sabine to do. That’s her sword.
But she’s honorable. She could have killed Din (or at least let him die) several times over. She could have taken the Darksaber. She could be bitter about the fact that he has it.
Instead, we see her wield the Darksaber as an expert, and then place it back on the ground with the rest of Din’s weapons.
I was scared we’d get a Bo that disregarded her character development in Rebels, but she’s proven that she’s still committed to fighting honorably for her people, just as she told Sabine to do.
And she’s just so ... beautifully soft.
We saw Bo be soft so rarely in TCW and Rebels, but Katee is leaning into giving Bo that gentle side.
Her immediate concern when Grogu shows up alone and willingness to go find his dad even though at first she’d been like “It’s Din Djarin. Let’s get rid of him once and for all.”
Each and every time she talks to Grogu, she’s so tender and calm. She encourages him when he’s scared and pushes his pram out of the way when she senses danger. She talks to him and knows he understands and tells him at least generally about the connection she’s had to Jedi in her life.
(In short, Bo loves babies!)
The way Grogu looks at her tells me he already likes and trusts her.
Plus she’s saved his dad several times now.
To be clear, I’m sure there’s going to be tension going forward, and I don’t expect Bo to always act as calmly and nobly as she did in this episode. She can be catty and rude and violent and I love that those are all parts of her character, too.
But I also think it’s already clear that in terms of her desires for her people, this former terrorist is done fighting over petty differences. She doesn’t dismiss Din even though he’s a part of a group she considers a cult (and she would know) because he’s still her people. And she’s still has no higher desire than the reunification of her scattered people and for them to be able to live in peace in spite of their long history of (and her own participation in) civil wars.
“I am not my sister.”
No, but Bo-Katan is currently more like her than she ever has been.

An important update from your friendly neighborhood mod: I've been abysmal at advertising for this event, and I'm sorry about that. I've had some life-changing things happening recently, so my focus has been elsewhere, but thankfully, I have more time to devote to this event (both as a mod and a participant) now.
In order to give people a bit more time to prepare and to spread the word on other sites, I've decided to move Satine Week out a couple weeks.
Satine Week 2024 will now be taking place from March 31st to April 6th. You're invited to share fanfics, art, videos, edits, and other creations featuring Satine Kryze. The themes for each day are as follows:
Sunday, March 31st: Jewel
Monday, April 1st: Mother
Tuesday, April 2nd: Tears
Wednesday, April 3rd: Cat
Thursday, April 4th: Sisters
Friday, April 5th: Mercy
Saturday, April 6th: [Free day!]
However, if you're not particularly inspired by those prompts, or if you want to challenge yourself further, feel free to make use of this set of alternate quote prompts. You can use them on any day and in any context!
"You mean more to me than anything in this galaxy."
“Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means."
"Deep down, you're really just a dork."
"In the end, it is often the young who pay the price for the decisions made by the old."
"Sometimes heroes fall, despite their strength."
"When your life is on display, you cherish the things that are yours alone."
"What do you see when you think about the future?"
Once again, I apologize for these changes, but I hope that this makes it possible for more people to participate and celebrate our favorite pacifist duchess!
