THE MANDALORIAN:

Are you ready to resume the youngling's training?

SABINE WREN:

Have you ever heard of a group of Mandalorians who abide by creed never to remove their helmets? I must admit, I had never heard of this before I met this one. Not even Pre Vizsla or Bo-Katan left their helmets on at all times.

	I can bring the kid by. It'll keep him from trying to talk to strangers on the network. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It'll give him something to occupy his mind, and he is very curious and full of wonder. He has a very strong bond with you, affectionate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Younglings do often present that challenge. No. All living things are a part of the Force, and when you're a Force user, you can feel other's emotions. When he looks at you, I can feel what he feels for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And foundlings. Unless they're actively suppressing their feelings using the Force, yes. Force users have to learn to control their emotions, as we're often inundated with others, as well as our own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't disagree. It's why we were peacekeepers, and not soldiers. Or least why we were supposed to be peacekeepers instead of soldiers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes and no. I wasn't not a Jedi for long before I came back into the service of the Republic at Lady Bo-Katan Kryze's request. Maul had taken over Mandalore and her people. She wanted my help to get it back. Unfortunately, the Emperor's long awaited plan to destroy the Empire and the Jedi was nearly complete. The clones had a behavioral modifier chip that when signaled, they would kill their Jedi generals and commanders. We were in the midst of that when the clones turned against me. I barely escaped.

That began over a decade of Fulcrum activity. Spying, getting intel. I joined with Bail Organa, of Alderaan, to fight against the Empire. The kind of life I had was a lonely one. I used to be surrounded by brothers and sisters, my Jedi masters who were like family to me, and the clones who became family. I could always reach out with the Force and find them there, but after Order 66... It was even lonelier than I'd ever felt before. Reaching out, and there was nothing. No one.

	I didn't stay long in the Enclave between work, but I had my Tribe. Most were killed by Imps. If you have people, you stand to lose them. Eventually. Sometimes that quiet isn't so bad in comparison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is the nature of life and living, but when they are snatched from you by dark forces, that is a whole different level of pain for me. It can be, if you're searching for quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, well. In an overcrowded ship with no real escape from people, searching out quiet is survival. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know right? He kind of gave me a complex when he first got here.

But so it's this whole. Mandalorians outside the reach of Mandalore can be funny sometimes with how they interpret Rel'sonare but it also sounds like things get kind of bad for Mandalorans after the Empire falls before it comes back. So maybe his clan just thought err on the side of caution with Mando ru'kir ratiin cuyir gaa'bevikat bal tsikala par akaan.

But by the writings, they use gaa'bevikat and not beskar'kat so the helmet's not really the important part there. It's the whole warrior.

	You said you gave Bo-Katan the Darksaber to unite your people? So they may have taken it literally instead of the metaphoric warrior. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ahsoka/sabine. rebelrebel 2020-04-30 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. And I don't think I was wrong in that. Just that's sometimes how War goes. They probably say we're misinterpreting it. but basically. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ahsoka/sabine. snipps 2020-04-30 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	No, I don't think you were either. Mandalore was under the Empire's thumb, they used your people and Gar Saxon let them. There were factions like this in the Jedi. They didn't wear helmets, but they decided to stay on one planet and protect it. I heard rumors that some left when the war started. (Reply to this) (Parent)
