I am going to say that Mandalore is not a title recognized by the New Mandalorians. Considering Mandalore can be seen as more of a war leader than political, I can easily see that. Of course, Jango wasn't a good person, remember. I mean, he was a Bounty Hunter and assassin, not to mention working for the Seperatists, so Satine would really want to deny any connections to him.

When Visla states that Jango wasn't a Mandalorian, He just stole the armor and was wearing it, That threw me for a loop. Not only does this go against the comic EU but surely contradicts Travis' works. Travis main premise is that anyone can be a Mando, Its not about a persons Blood line but more of a Culture, and a person can Become a Mando if they accept that culture. That is seen in the case Of Jusik and others.

She puts so much emphasis on the Armor and the different colors that watching the show where all the Mandos are dressed in Tunics and the only ones wearing armor are the Death Watch makes me wonder?

Ive read all the Travis Novels and I like them, I get a little irritated with the Liberties she has Taken but I realize that they are not totally her fault. It will be interesting to see how much of Travis' work gets crushed in the Lucas Grinder!!

My recent SW memories have been ruined by GL AGAIN!

Maybe I missed it, but did they draw a connection between the two Vizlas?

Was there any implication then? They are two different people, right? But could they be related possibly?

Haven't had a chance to sit and watch the 2nd Mando ep yet, but here's why it's still a problem, IMO. After Dooku and the Jedi defeated the Mandos at Galidraan, Jango went on to Bounty Hunting simply because there were hardly any Mandos left! The Massacre at Galidraan is called a massacre because it nearly wiped out all of the Mandos. The population levels shown in these CW episodes are enormous compared to what's been described in the rest of the EU. Plus, at the time of the CW, in the RC novels, all the Mandos around are still aware that Jango was the Mandalore, and that since his death, they've been without a new Mandalore, until Fynn Shysa steps in. There's also the small time period where Kal and Fynn try to get Spar (Alpha ARC trooper deserter) to take on the role of Mandalore, pretending to be Boba. So, the reigning Mando culture is still fully aware of the title of Mandalore, and what that means to their culture.

Granted, I liked the explanation given in the earlier thread, and that I've seen in a couple different places. There's the possibility now that there are three distinct types of Mandos: New, True, and Death Watch. It's certainly plausible that the New Mandalorians just simply dismiss the True Mandalorians as merely Bounty Hunters, etc., because they weren't willing to go along with the peaceful ways. I'm willing to follow that line of logic for the most part.

I think what burn's my britches the most, is not being able to look forward to new Mando Mini's from the current Season 2.

Oh well, life goes on.

I don't think at any point Obi wasn't understanding. I think even yoda knew about it. I think Anakin was just paranoid and presumptuous.

Yeah, I always thought that Obi-Wan at least knew that Anakin and Padme were sweet on each other. I mean, he kind of have to be blind not to notice it, lol. I just always assumed that they were too busy fighting the war, and Anakin did such a great job as a Jedi otherwise, that they didn't make a fuss about Padme. Plus, I don't think they realized just how deep the relationship really was.

This last episode was really great though. I loved the interactions between OWK, Satine, and Anakin. The bit at the end where Tal Merrick was talking about who would out themselves as the "cold blooded killer" was very well written, IMO.

Greg Proops as the bad-guy cracked me up as well. He's awesome.

And Orn Free Taa's accent had me laughing the whole time. Not sure why.

I love how dead serious Obi and Satine are about killing Merrick, and Anakin stabs him in good humour. Orn Free Taa needs to get killed( or have a heart attack) He is possibly the worst Senator out there. (And yes, I know JarJar's a senator lol)
