Oh, Genevieve. Did you have any idea what a couple days of work filming scenes deleted from RotS would eventually lead to? #Andor

"I have a lengthy backstory that explains how [Bo-Katan] became a Death Watch soldier that goes all the way back to the time she and Satine are six ... about who their father was and what their relationships were and everything with [Pre] Vizsla … and Obi-Wan Kenobi." -Dave Filoni #StarWars #Obitine

Just two boys heading to Mina-Rau/Mandalore in the red uniforms of the enemy in a janky ship on a solo rescue mission to save their loved ones. What could possibly go wrong? #Andor #AndorSeason2 #StarWars #TheCloneWars #CassianAndor #ObiWanKenobi #BixCaleen #SatineKryze

Since we’re in a golden age of new Star Wars tv shows, I’ll again pitch “David Attenborough style nature documentaries but of fictional Star Wars creatures.” No empire. No Jedi. Like, what the Jedi would watch on tv to relax after a stressful mission.

“SA has never been a part of Star Wars.” Maybe it was just easier for you to ignore before. #Andor

The book that made me fall in love with the High Republic and is still the pinnacle of the series. I love all the dynamics between the characters especially Lina and Kip, Lina and Stellan, and Stellan and Elzar. ❤️

I’m sure it was such a blur! There aren’t many people who would have the courage or desire to do that, but you made your girl proud! 😍 Also, I’m so excited you get her back next week!

(11/11) Maul's eyes close, and in the last shot we see Satine (the last manifestation of Maul's conscious mind? An apparition? A Force ghost?) still watching over him as he lies in her beloved Jedi's arms. (Gif created by me)

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(10/11) Maul's enemy—a man who knows the same peace Satine did—comforts him, showing him the same love Satine promised is possible. With his last words, Maul still holds on to the belief that vengeance is coming, for both himself AND Obi-Wan.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(9/11) The tragedy is that Maul would never be able to listen to Satine, even if a part of him wants the peace she offers. Her presence instead drives him to the place of insanity we see in Rebels and ultimately to Tatooine, where he is mercifully put out of his misery by Obi-Wan.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(8/11) At the same time, perhaps Maul recognizes that Satine's voice in his head is a call to the Light that he has always rejected. How she was at peace before her death & how he could have that peace too, if only he'd turn from the path of revenge he thinks is the only way.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(7/11) Maul amasses power but all the while, popping up at the most inopportune times, is the Duchess of Mandalore, either standing serenely in the background & (in Maul's mind) silently judging him or perhaps interjecting her own opinions. Just imagine the banter between them:

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(6/11) So imagine Maul ... fresh off his defeat on Mandalore and acclimating to a new galaxy ruled by the Sith he'd hoped to defeat. The criminal enterprises he pursues will surely tie back to the crime syndicates that he helped form alliances with for Pre Vizsla and Death Watch.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(5/11) But the thing is, it doesn't make sense if Maul is only seeing these visions because he's dying of dehydration or heat stroke in the desert. Scratching out the eyes of the portrait only makes sense if Maul was having visions of Satine long before he ever went to Tatooine.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(4/11) (Satine's place in Maul's mind is also suggested by an earlier script/storyboard of Maul and Obi-Wan's final showdown. Maul's line is, "I took your master. I took your beloved... I will hunt down whatever ... no ... whoever it is you are protecting and take them as well.")

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(3/11) He also scratches out her eyes, which doesn't make a lot of sense until you know that in "Twin Suns" Maul was originally going to be plagued by visions of Savage and Satine while he goes mad in the Tatooine deserts, something that suggests Maul feels “Satine” watching him.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(2/11) It's implied that Maul physically attacks the portrait. He slashes Satine's throat (over and over), suggesting that the need for revenge against Obi-Wan that he had hoped would be satisfied by killing Satine still resides in him.

111

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

(1/11) If Disney is smart, they'll make Satine Kryze a main character in the Star Wars - Maul: Shadow Lord show & I'm 1000% serious. In Rebels, we see Maul stole Satine's portrait & created a shrine with the Darksaber he used to kill her. He also scrawled "KENOBI" on the wall in Mando'a.

131

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Both extremely relevant projects. I’m glad there are people who recognize the voice that Star Wars has to speak into real life situations. ❤️

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

That makes her presence within Death Watch seem strange, but I think that can also be explained away when you know that Clan Wren is a vassal clan within House Vizsla, and it's very possible that as a Clan Wren leader, Ursa was conscripted into Death Watch by Pre Vizsla himself.

010

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Either way, it’s an interesting connection that suggests that though Ursa was a member of Death Watch, she may have appreciated Satine or even supported her during her reign. The fact that her husband, Alrich, is not a warrior and may even be a pacifist could also support this.

110

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Or b) Bo-Katan gave Ursa Satine’s dress after Satine's death to be used in Ursa's portrait (which would have been made after Death Watch was disbanded). Ursa made the dress less conservative to fit her own style by removing the bit around the shoulders and shortening the sleeves.

110

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Depending on when the portrait was painted, I like to think that either a) Satine was considered a fashion icon during her reign and clothing inspired by her wardrobe was made for others. It would make sense that Countess Ursa and other Mandalorian nobles would observe such trends.

110

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

🧵We need to talk about how in Star Wars Rebels, Ursa Wren is wearing a dark-green, off-the-shoulder dress in her portrait similar to Satine’s TCW S3 dress. If you don’t think one is supposed to evoke the other, look at the identical chokers. This was a conscious design choice.

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

I saw pictures of your panel!! You look amazing and I’m sure you were absolutely on fire talking about your girl! I’m so proud of you!

Lady Jessica, Duchess of Darksaber Light @darksaberlight.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

I love this poster, but I’m so annoyed that Bo-Katan, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan are all pictured near each other and Satine’s on the *other* side of the poster, all alone and completely separated from anyone she cares about (or anyone related to her story except for Pre freaking Vizsla)

Mine as well. I keep hoping they’ll give me more canon Lina art so I can make another cosplay, but the way it’s looking, it’s probably the fanartists I’ll have to turn to! ❤️
