"canderous is a good mand'alor because he unites the clans" "canderous is a good mand'alor because he's a strong warrior" WRONG. canderous ordo is a good mand'alor because he follows mandalore the indomitable's proud tradition of getting his ass kicked by a hot jedi and immediately wanting said jedi to fuck him. there are no other criteria

Another Mando Time Travel AU (I Don't Know What This Is This Started As A Totally Different AU We Don't Even Get To The Time Travel Till The End)
Tarre Vizsla's relatively peaceful afterlife is rudely disrupted by one Jaster Mereel. Now every time the Ka'ra meets, Jaster's always talking about his son.
It only gets worse after Galidraan, and honestly, Tarre can sympathize. He too would curse up a storm if his entire movement was slaughtered and his son sold into slavery. He actually did perform some of the more colorful acts of vengeance that Jaster describes, all those years ago when he was crude matter, and the Sith had kidnapped his padawan. It was part of what had made him leave the Order, once the Sith had been defeated. The shame of those moments of raw, unadulterated violence, the whispers in the halls that perhaps he was simply too Mandalorian...they had followed him since he was a babe in the creche, but towards the end they had grown in number and volume.
Then one day, Jaster starts cursing Jango's name. It honestly shocks Tarre enough that he breaks his most important rule: not engaging in conversation with Mand'alor the Ridiculously Loud. He's curious, sue him.
(Inside his head Tarre cannot help but chuckle, because his master had often said his curiosity would be the death of him. Now that Tarre was dead, would it be the life of him? He doesn't know. All he knows is his friend Fay would have groaned at that poor excuse for a joke.)
Turns out Jaster's son, his precious boy, his poor, brutalized child, has decided to help in a Sith plot that would see the Jedi destroyed, all for the low price of millions of enslaved sentients.
Tarre – who avoided looking at the affairs of the living after his descendants sacked Coruscant and stole the Darksaber from the Temple where he left it, turning his tool for peacekeeping into a weapon of war and giving the anti-Mando factions in the Senate all the ammunition they needed to unleash the Dral'Han – tunes back in. He's horrified by what he sees.
He can't help but watch as the Clone Wars wages through the galaxy, as Manda'yaim is subjugated by the Empire, as Mando'ade are so brainwashed by the Sith (and oh how it burns, that the ancient enemy managed to slip through their fingers all those years ago) and their propaganda that they build the very weapons the Empire turns on their fellow verde. His brief moment of jubilation at seeing the Mandalorian rebellion nearly succeed is crushed by the Night of a Thousand Tears.
It's horrible, and made even worse by the realization that out there in the darkest edges of the galaxy, hidden away like the spider-roaches they are, the Sith survive. They had devastated his people, both his peoples, and they had survived with plans to do it all over again.
The Ka'ra meets more frequently now than anytime in Tarre's memory since the Dral'Han. Or the first Dral'Han, he supposes.
Things had gone so wrong, the Manda was full of souls who had lived too-short lives and the Force was constantly screaming in pain. Mandalore, Geonosis, Alderaan, Serenno, all were devastated by an ill-tempered madman high on the pain he caused and his army of sycophants. That much needless, senseless death leaves lasting scars on the fabric of the galaxy.
"If we could go back and fix it all..." It's Mandalore the Binder who says it. Harswee's greatest native son had been silent since the burning of his homeworld's fields. Where once there had been herds of wooly-nerfs and banthas grazing without care, now there was only blackened ash. To hear him speak now in that rumbling, gravely drawl of his...they cannot help but all pay attention.
It's a simple statement, one that most of their number had been thinking, but never said aloud. What was the use in longing for the impossible?
But then, Tarre thinks, is it really so impossible?
Tarre's curiosity would be the death of him, his old master used to declare, before indulging his inquisitive padawan's bad habits. Sometimes, such indulgences led to Tarre and his dearest friend exploring long abandoned Temples with little to no supervision. And in one of those Temples, there had been holocron upon holocron dedicated to the study of Time and it's relation to the Force.
It was Fay who put together the fragmented ramblings of half-mad acolytes, the accounts of failed rituals. It was Fay – who the Force loved so deeply even then – who figured out how such a ritual would work. And it was Tarre who she chose to share this information with.
It was heretical, a piece of the Force that tread dangerously close to the Dark. Tarre had shoved that knowledge, that terrible burden his dearest friend had inflicted upon him, deep into the recesses of his mind, never to be accessed again. Until now.
To fix it all, to send back the consciousnesses and/or bodies of a few chosen champions...it's tempting. It tempts Tarre almost as much as the Dark did during that one horrid year, when his master had been killed, his riduur assassinated, his people ripping themselves apart—
He brings it before the Council of Kings. It's the only way to be sure he's not being guided by his own selfish desires. The Mandalores of the past are a vast group, filled with individuals as varied as the stars for which they are named.
The vote is a close run thing. For all the Mandalores who ascended to the position through their love for their people, there are just as many who rose to power through force of arms or hatred of the Jedi. Many of the latter view Tarre's very presence as an insult, as do some of the former.
Surprisingly, it's Mandalore the Indomitable who breaks the tie. The former Mand'alor had served his Sith master faithfully in life, had died to fulfill his oath, and millennia later the Sith repaid his sacrifice with the blood of millions of his own people. He detests the Jedi, he makes this point very clear, but he loves his people more. Let the jetii in their ranks perform his Force osik. Even if the very thought of such an act makes him feel sick to his stomach, the survival of their people and their Creed is more important.
With the vote decided, Tarre merely has to pick his Champions. The range of the ritual can only go so far back. The Force is infinite, but Tarre's presence within it is not. He had gone through great lengths during his early life to not seem too strong, too much of a threat, and his efforts had resulted in a rather limited way of thinking.
He brings in Jaster to help make the decision. As annoying as the man could be, as much as Tarre disagreed with him on matters of morality and honor, he was quite knowledgeable about the destination time period. Both of them made their careers not just on the strength of their arms, but in the force of their personalities. They know what they need to look for in potential champions: those who would follow the orders of the dead, those whose skill set would prove apt for their designated theaters of war, and those who could be manipulated through their honor and beliefs.
That last one, the manipulation, it leaves a sour taste in Tarre's mouth, but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
In their dreams that night, two young Mandalorians and a Jedi are offered a choice by Tarre. They all accept.
Simultaneously, at the very edges of the Manda a father speaks to his son for the first time in many years, and in the face of his buir's stern disappointment the son reverts back to that orphaned fourteen-year-old. He agrees to his orders, and dreads facing his greatest mistake.
And in the Force, the essence of what was once a young knight who sacrificed himself for his family is plucked away from the collectiveness he had been lost in, and offered a similar choice. He eagerly accepts.

Cienie’s take on Mandalorian Culture: Kad Ha’rangir and mandalorian traditional weapons, p.1
Foreword
Tie-in Legends source materials are in general agreement that Taungs, the alien species that created Mandalorian culture ~7000  BBY, originally worshiped many gods. With passing time their belief system morphed into the concept of War being itself divine and reverential. In the period after the Sith War (3996 BBY) and before the early raids (3976 BBY) leading to start of Mandalorian Wars (3964 BBY), humans and other Aliens who proved themselves in battle and followed Mandalorian Canons of Honor were allowed into warrior ranks on an equal right, however Taungs themselves were already a dying out species.
The last Taung Mandalore, known as the Mandalore the Ultimate, died in the final battle of Mandalorian Wars in 3960 BBY and this military conflict ended both Taung hegemony and their religious beliefs in “holy carnage”. The new brand of Mandalorians kept combat and fighting skills in high regard, sought challenges to improve themselves and gain an honor but a great number of warriors went into mercenary work solely for money or the thrill of the hunt. This mercenary mindset lasted to modern days while the old faith faded away into obscurity although some knowledge and the echo of original religion remained in (human) Mandalorian culture. 
Thus to understand forgotten religion better, the original mythology should be analyzed based on Taung and early Mandalorian culture. This is especially important since the knowledge that survived to current times may be greatly distorted as the proper context can be lost due to abrupt social changes that happened to Mandalorian culture, especially in the last seven hundred years, starting with Republic attack in 738 BBY (known also as Mandalorian Excision) that divided society into two opposite faction (pacifists and warriors loyal to Old Ways) and ending with Imperial occupation that brought much destruction to Mandalore and its people. The Mandalorian Excision especially led to devastating social-economic changes, as New Mandalorians rejected the warrior traditions in favor of safe neutrality and in result, those loyal to Old Ways became a (religious?) minority that over time lost its influence on official Mandalore politics, at least up to the Clone Wars and Imperial occupation era. 
For those unfamiliar with Mandalorian lore, the three most known gods are:
Kad Ha’rangir - the all-seeing creator of tests and trials
Arasuum - the god of stagnation and sloth
Hod Haran - the trickster, agent of fickle fortune
The first two deities were introduced in an article Mandalorians: People and Culture (Insider #86) while the last was revealed in Death Watch Manifesto (Bounty Hunter Code) and both sources suggest modern (human) Mandalorians do not worship those gods like their forefathers did, if ever at all they pay attention to any religious side of their culture. This raises a question though, how much modern interpretation of those gods - the only one we truly have - is in fact compatible with their original form? 
Let's start with Kad Ha'rangir. 
My main problem with seeing Kad Ha'rangir as the most important deity worshiped by warriors during Taung!Mandalorian hegemony comes down to his name itself.
”Ha’rangir“ can be easily tie down to words for hell and destruction such like haran and raangir (the command raangir! means literally go to hell! as the original mando’a dictionary states) which makes sense why the god’s epitome is Destructor while "Kad" in the mandalorian language means "sword" or "saber"[1]. However none of those types of blades were associated with the first Mandalorians. The older sources made it clear Taungs held in high regard axes as their traditional and/or ceremonial weapon and still used them (alongside spear-like and other atypical blades) on the battlefield despite access to technologically advanced weaponry. 
This can be observed through:
Tales of the Jedi: Sith War, during duel between Mandalore the Indomitable and Ulic Qel-Droma (issue #1)
Tumblr media
Mandalore: You fight unfairly Qel-Droma! Put away your blood-thirsty weapon... use this, the simple weapon of my forefathers.
Tumblr media
Ulic Qel Droma: "Perhaps I’ll fight with one of your weapons”
when Mandalore the Indomitable fought on Dxun moon against native predators
Tumblr media
and with plenty of frames of Mandalorian warriors using axes and spear-like weapons during battles - including air battles -  despite the advanced technology.
Tumblr media
The period of time covered by comics precedes the Great Adoption that officially opened Mandalorian ranks to non-Taung people, including humans. Even if Knights of the Old Republic tie-in sources are true and during this war humans already took part in the conflict as Mandalore the Indomitable’s supporters - whatever as full-fledged warriors or just vassals - Mandalorians presented in comics clearly favored axes and spear-like weapon and unless I missed some vital details from six issues, there was no weapons resembling typical looking sword or saber. 
Knights of the Old Republic, whose story and characters are greatly influenced by the previous Sith War, mentioned Mandalore the Indomitable’s duel with Ulic Qel-Droma. The same as in original comics, the Fallen Jedi used a traditional mythosaur axe (KotOR #48).
Tumblr media
Another example comes from Mandalore the Ultimate (KotOR#20)
Tumblr media
“Recognize this axe? It was forged from your so-called Courageous—when we began melting it down for scrap!"
There is a 30 year time interval between Sith Wars (3996 BBY) and Mandalorian Wars (3964 BBY), Taungs were dying out species already yet Mandalore the Ultimate still chose a traditional Mandalorian weapon as his own. Upgraded and made of cortosis[2], but keeping the characteristic shape.
The authors of comics on purpose tied Mandalore the Ultimate’s weapon to those of Taungs from Sith Wars, as was mentioned by J. J. Miller:
The design of Mandalore’s axeblade goes all the way back to Mandalore the Indomitable, many, many comic books ago. Another one of our Tales of the Jedi links... Dario Carrasco’s design, I think. Clearly the main function of the version seen here, with the ceremonial staff, is as a battlefield standard, and the huge blade size serves that purpose well. (Though as we can see, it has other capabilities, yet to be described...)
Star Wars Miniatures too presented Mandalore the Indomitable with a characteristic axe and spear known from original comics. 
Tumblr media
(Photo and more details on rebelscum.com)
We know only three Taung miniatures, one that may represent even the pre-Mandalorian era?, and two Mandalores. The first uses an unusual weapon (no sword or axe), the Indomitable has mentioned axe and spear while the Ultimate is presented with a blaster. No directly established Taungs, though coming from different times, carry a sword.
Tumblr media
Another mention comes from History of the Mandalorians [insider #80]  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Named for an extinct, gargantuan monster of the Mandalorian past, the Mythosaur Axe is a traditional Mandalorian weapon. With overlapping blades of calcified mythosaur bone on either side of the handle, this shell-like pattern makes any point on the razor-sharp axe deadly.
or Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide:
Tumblr media
Crafte from the calcified bones of the extinct monster for which it is named, the Mythosaur axe is one ceremonial weapon that can be deadly. Mandalore the Ultimate’s Variation, atop a staff, uses modern metals and an energy cell to achieve double the damage.
Additionally, Mandalore the Indomitable and the Ultimate both have mythosaur axes written into their respective character stats data in melee category & possession (and spear, for Indomitable) while other presented Mandalorians are A) in majority described as humans and B) their stats vary and so there are options like: unarmed, dragger, knife, mace, vibroblade, vibrodagger or bayonet but none ax mentioned directly.
Hasbro’s STAR WARS EVOLUTIONS (The Fett Legacy) set presented a figure of Mandalore the Indomitable, again with battle ax and spear:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
more photos and details on rebelscum.com
[The Next Part]: There are in theory contradicting sources about Taungs...
SIDENOTES:
[1] As far as I know, there is no official word for ax in the original mando’a dictionary published by Karen Traviss. One could argue that the kad word could include all blades in general yet though mando’a lacks a certain terms such like “hero”, it has many different words for “stab” thus I believe Mandalorian knowledge and dedication to weapons should generated an individual name to each type of melee weapons, the same as the language already differentiate between sword (kad) and knife (kal).

Mandalorian Culture Master post part 3
Tumblr media
 Leaders and society  
Mandalorian’s are not like the rest of the galaxy they do not have kings queens duchesses elected officials a government per se but Mandalorians have clans tribes sects but the sole leader of the clans is a manda’lor a duty that is earned not given through combat or when a fallen mandalor dies in battle honour through combat is important for them not dying in a bed or of old age but glory in a battle against men and alien or beast.
Dying by machine brings no honour and no remembrance to your name.  
The mandalors throughout history are a long one many have earned their title some have not been remembered for their actions or cause of death the first mandalor recorded in history was a taung war chief after being removed from their home world of Coruscant in the core worlds the mandalors ranged from the Taung to humans to other species throughout the centuries. 
All known mandalors 
1 Te Sol'yc Mand'alor [ the first mandalor] 
2mand’alor the indomitable  
3mand’alor the ultimate 
4mand’alor the preserver  
5mand’alor the lesser 
6mand’alor the vindicated 
7mand’alor the avenger

the Fett enthusiast’s, as a community, needs to talk about Cassus Fett more.
One of my favorite, favorite characters. The Fett’s fall from grace is something that needs to be studied because Cassus was putting in the WORK.
What I wanna talk about most is how he actively worked for individualism within Mandalorian culture, the way he’d be so proud of his successors (not you Jango). He’d have so much pride in the clones.
Cassus Fett is one of those characters that actually sends chills down my spine, reading anything that has to do with him makes me feel like I’m reading a out a deity. He gives off lots of Jaster energy but you can see the genes carried very far. You can tell that Jango and Boba are descendants of him, the creator even made it a point to say that Jango and Boba were the only ones who truly matched Cassus’ skill.
Not only that but he did more for the culture than a lot of Mandalore’s own leaders. He settled them down and practically established them on Mandalore, making them no longer a nomadic tribe. He also took part in conquering planets, he was advisor to two great Mand’alor’s (Mandalore the Indomitable and Mandalore The Ultimate) He’s just— very important and so extremely interesting when you consider all the Fett lore, where they came from and where they ended up.
He’s supposed to be a character that strikes a lot of emotions into people with just his name;
Exhibit A :

Oooh, is this... is this hints of Ulic Qel Droma/Mandalor the Indomitable, with both marks being presents in one settlement...
Also, we stan a history Nerd, Jaster was never going to pass on the opportunity of adopting Granta. His now, no take backs, Myles will have to deal
It is indeed! Granta and Jaster as history nerds are going to have to be removed from this moon with a crowbar when everything comes out.
Also. Bold of you to assume that Myles wasn't the one shoving Jaster along ahead of him with the adoption papers already half-filed.

now seems like a good time to post all of my mando’a translated mandalor titles (the canon/semi-canon historical ones).  on theme for tonight, apparently.
(reminder that my mando’a grammar SUCKS so if anyone has any corrections, hit me with em.  I’m using ‘te’ as the archaic form of ‘the’ since it’s not so common anymore apparently???). 
In Historical Order (mostly)
te’sol’yc mand’alor - mandalore the first (lit. translation accurate)
te’shukalar’yc mand’alor - mandalore the conqueror (lit translation accurate)
te’dar’kotir mand’alor - mandalore the indomitable (lit. mandalore the not-defeated)
te’ani’la mand’alor - mandalore the ultimate / mandalore the great  (not my translation!  Other fans coined this for him - lit. translation roughly means ‘mandalore the complete’.  You might know him as “the mandalore revan murdered” in kotor lore, or as the likely originator of the mandalorian-jedi conflict.  fun fact the trees in the sundari academy are named after him?? oh and he was the last Taung mand’alor. so much trivia).
te’cuyanir mand’alor - mandalore the preserver ((canderous ordo my beloved) lit. ‘mandalore the survivor”) more KOTOR era mandalores!
te’diryc mand’alor - mandalore the lesser (lit. mandalore the low)
te’serimir’yc mand’alor - mandalore the vindicated (lit. mandalore the accurate)
te’gra’tua mand’alor - mandalore the avenger (lit. vengeance) (fun fact this is Shae Vizla (not vizsla, weirdly), who presumably was the one who stole the darksaber from the jedi temple)
mandalore the binder, who i could not for the life of me figure out a translation for.  could not find mando’a for rope or cuffs or anything
te’solusyc mand’alor - mandalore the uniter (not to be confused with te’solyc)
te’naast’yc mand’alor - mandalore the destroyer (lit. translation accurate. first confirmed female mandalore.  gaslight gatekeep girlboss)
mandalore the hammerborn - idk how anyone expected me to translate this.
fanmade titles/ mandalore with no official titles:
jaster mereel te’haat’yc mand’alor - mandalore the true/the true mandalore.  self explanatory. te’tor’yc mand’alor - mandalore the just.  i feel like he’d hate this entirely because of tor vizsla te’dha’werd’yc mand’alor - one i made up on the spot.  lit. mandalor the dark, but in reference to ye olde ‘Dha Werda Verda’ epic poetry in reference to his attachment to historical reform. also because he wears black armor lol)
din djarin (my boy’s gonna be mand’alor and i will die on this hill) te’tor’yc mand’alor - shares ‘mandalore the just’ with jaster, if you don’t use it for him.  obviously doesn’t have a problem with the tor viszla association so he hates it less te’roya mand’alor - mandalore the hunter (once again.  self explanatory. also one i made up asdkljflkasdj) te’jatne’yc mand’alor - mandalore the devout (lit. mandalore the best, in reference to the extreme oath and ‘jatnese be jatnese’/’best of the best’ training the children of the watch put their little ones through)

Do you think Maul would’ve been better served if he had kept Pre Vizla alive after their duel and made him swear an oath of loyalty rather than kill him, a la similarly to Ulic Qel Droma and Mandalore the Indomitable?
It could have given him a far better grip of Mandalore that way. No dissent.
I’m not as familiar with the new Disney stuff as I ought to be, and I think Maul (as cool as he was) should have stayed dead. 
That and Sith? Well, they wouldn’t go there. Especially not with non-Force wielders like Mandos. Even if he tried, the wisest action for the Mando to take here would be one bullet square to the Sith’s forehead before he decides to try and do what Sith do, which is stab you in the back.

enormous thanks to @stellorc for this comm of my Revan that i keep forgetting to upload! it's absolutely full of symbolism - Jedi Revan before the end of the Mandalorian Wars is pictured, but behind the broken mirror is her Sith counterpart and a vision of the true Sith Empire, the same vision that would drive her to seek out Vitiate after Malachor. Revan has had visions of Vitiate and the Empire since she was a child, but only after Malachor did he fully reveal himself to her, leading her out beyond the known galaxy in search of him.

Sidenotes to my larger project Cienie's take on Mandalorian culture. Gathering evidence on the cult of Kad Ha'rangir and the correlation between the Mandalorian warriors (their biological species) and the melee weapons. Source: Star Wars Mandalorian Miniatures by Wizards of the Coast (2004 - 2010)
ANCIENT TIMES
Set 1 (Taungs): Taung warrior, Mandalore the Indomitable, Mandalore the Ultimate
-> Taung warrior is most likely to represent pre-Mandalorian culture as the character lacks an armor, Indomitable has a mythosaur ax (Sith War era), Ultimate carries blaster (Mandalorian Wars era)
Set 2: Mandalorians from Bounty Hunter set (2006).
-> No named characters but additional quotes from their cards and being included with Mandalore the Indomitable & basilisk war droid without Neo-Crusader rider strongly imply the Sith War era.
-> Mandalorian warrior and Blademaster carry a melee weapons. Are they Taung!Mandalorians or humans, there is no way to deduce for sure. KotOR Campaign Guide says human warriors already were part of Mandalorian army during Sith War era.
Set 3: Neo-Crusaders and Ordo Canderous  + plus Mandalorian Commander I forgot to add (Mandalorian Wars and post-Mandalorian Wars / Knights of the Old Republic era)
-> Canderous Ordo carry no traditional mythosaur ax nor sword, just blaster
-> there is no way to tell for sure who is under the helmet, but during the Mandalorian Wars humans became a common sight between Mandalorians warriors as Taung species were dying out already. However the armor strongly implies Neo-Crusaders movement thus there is a great chance those figures are in fact humans.
-> Mandalorian Jedi Hunter (from Dark Times set) has an additional description: “Some of the scattered survivors of the Mandalorian Wars seek out Jedi to punish for their humiliation.” There weren’t that many Taung!Mandalorians after the war, so the chance of human/non-Taung character increases.
MODERN TIMES
Set 4: Modern Mandalorians
-> Republic Commando Training Sergeant - based on Kal Skirata, Republic Comics series.
-> Mandalorian Gunslinger - based on Rav Bralor, Republic Commando (according to RebelScum.com)
-> Death Watch Raider’s description “ The Death Watch was a violent splinter group of mercenaries who disagreed with Mandalore Jaster Mereel's insistence on honorable behavior. “[EU set] confirms the modern times (pre-Clone Wars era). During that conflict, as far as sources showed, Mandalorians were presented solely as humans. Thus Mandalorian Quartermaster is most likely a human warrior. From modern times, this one character is presented with a traditional melee weapon (sword).
Set 5: Jango Fett and young Boba
-> No traditional weapon.
Set 6: Boba Fett from various miniatures sets.
-> No traditional weapon.
My observations so far: 
-> Between the presented miniatures, the mythosaur ax was used only by Taung!Mandalorian, no human carried such a weapon regardless of era. There is a possibility that mythosaur axes were also a position/ability indicator, similar to Jaing eyes, maybe? Just a thought for further consideration. 
-> Mandalorian Warrior, Blademaster and Marauder may be Taungs or may be human/aliens, impossible to confirm. However, Jedi Hunter’s card suggests a post-Mandalorian Wars timeline, and so chances for a Taung character are smaller. Due to Death Watch armor typical for Tor Vizsla & Jaster Mereel’s times, Quartermaster also seems to represent the era in which Taungs are extinct.
-> Miniatures presents Death Watch as a more traditional type of Mandalorians, as Jango and his side of modern Mandalorians (Boba, Republic Commando training sergeant [Kal Skirata] and Gunslinger [Rav Bralor]) uses solely advanced technology & firearms.

Hello there!
I have an OPINION and this is the internet so I am going to share it.
I don't like the armorer from the mandalorian and bobf. She gives me 🪄bad vibes🪄 and I'm about to justify myself.
The children of the watch thing is a cult, there's no other word for it, based off of DEATH WATCH like if death watch's former golden girl (Bo Katan) thinks you're an extremist, you're an extremist.
She keeps things from Din and I can't tell if she keeps it from everyone, or if it's just Din or what. I'll get to that later. First off, the amount of mando things that MANDO doesn't know is disgraceful. I don't care that he was a foundling, he was like eight and they had to have given him some teaching beyond the whole "wear armor don't show face" but no, Din didn't know what a jedi was and probably never would have known if he hadn't found Grogu and caused the armorer to tell him.
That I can maybe excuse due to the empire being a bigger threat than a nearly extinct race of wizard people. But not knowing what the fucking DARKSABER was! The most mandalorian symbol since Mandalore the Indomitable's mask. (Which I bet he didn't know about either)
She referred to Bo Katan as a "cautionary tale" yet she never told it to Din??? Was he just sleeping through Mando school? Last thing is that Vizsla seemed to know more. I don't know if he's just got a higher position or if it's cuz he's a Vizsla (derogatory) but HE seemed to know what the darksaber was.
I am done for now, come back soon to hear more of my shouting into the endless void! ❤
