Full Series Fenn Rau

I like Rau. It's good to see more Mandalorian factions, especially one that is a warrior faction that is in opposition to the Death Watch.

 

I wonder how many factions were around before the death watch take over?

 

As of now, the pacifists, and the protectors, so three including death watch.

 

Also we are getting an action figure of him!

 

The pacifists might be gone since Maul and now the Empire took over

 

Nah, I imagine the pacification made the Mandalorians softer and easier to control. Maul and The Empire would've loved them the way they are.

 

My question is what type of ****** super weapon destroys only half a planet?

Anyway I like your idea about the protectors not being to mad about the pacifist having control of Mandalore.

 

A true Mandalorian.

 

Lol what?

 

You never heard of the true Mandalorians?

 

My head canon Mandos look battle scared & ruff. Not super pretty like Sabine! Sabine needs a cool scar running down her face!

rumsmuggler I've heard of them. I should of said "An ugly a Mando is a real Mando."

 

Sabine's only 18. She's still got a lot of life left in her, and a lot more to experience. She'll get her battle scars someday.

 

Scars are hot!

 

I gotcha.

 

True.

 

The New Mandalorians exiled all their warriors to their moon Concordia where they were said to have died out years before Kenobi arrived to investigate the rumors of Satine switching sides to the Separatists. Secretly Vizsla was building a small militia and insurgent terrorists out've them from there as he ruled over it was governor. Death Watch at that point was basically dismissed as posers and hooligans trying to resurrect the old warrior ways of the past.

Vizsla never could directly challenge Satine and her regime largely because he lacked numbers(he would've needed the backing of the Separatist army), and largely more importantly he could not hold onto it because of the people's support. The Death Watch regime led by Maul was a plan very Sith in fabrication, since Tyranus and Sidious devised a similar plan of having the Senate vote to have Republic troops occupy Mandalore in response to rumors of Satine building an army to fight for the Separatists along with Mandalore being framed for acts of war against the Republic . The Republican presence was supposed to occupy Mandalore.

The Republic occupation which was supposed to allow the Death Watch to gain the support of Mandalore's populace and liberating them from the Republic. The whole idea of the military presence would be that the foreign Republic military occupation was to ensure that the people would find that distasteful, and they would rebel, would rally to Death Watch and Vizsla's insurgency would thus grow stronger and completely eradicate Satine and her ways from the minds , society & culture of these New Mandalorian people. If you exchange Republic for now Empire, basically the same idea is apparently present on Rebels. But now instead of a Separatist puppet agent of Dooku's, we have Gar Saxon as the puppet Sidious, the Empire stationed and ruling Mandalore could cause a revolt like planned, but now against the Empire that is basically the Republic/Separatists rolled into one.



Maul through Almec militarized Mandalore . Satine and her people who could not defend themselves against the Pyke and Black Sun invasion and hence Maul's scheme of using Death Watch as liberators and saviors precisely because they're trained full time battle warriors and had the weapons, training and willpower to get things done right. Satine had her small security force and she had the protection of the Republic and the Jedi and the people largely enjoyed her rule - presumably because of the comforts and luxuries of peace and the economy was good. Death Watch would need the population for recruits which is similar to what the Empire does but the Empire is more direct conscription. Death Watch only numbered around 5,000 or so warriors, that isnt a enough manpower for a galaxy wide struggle and war against the Separatists and Republic. Almec was charged by Maul with leading Mandalore back to its warrior heritage as Prime Minister and he would've been held responsible for the failures of the people. Maul like Death Watch wanted warriors and return to that militarized society and to remove the memory of Satine and her regime. SOD also confirms Maul's stance which is aligned to the goals of Death Watch, which is war and conquest and fighting to the death where its victory or death. Maul also referred to them as brothers.

Bo-Katan's main issue with Maul was because he killed the man she apparently loved , and she would not of been number two anymore and Maul was a foreigner ruling over Mandalore which was her public outburst. Her and her Death Watch/Nite Owl loyalists basically followed her and whatever cult of personality that Vizsla still maintained among them. But her warriors were a small band and apparently needed some New Mandalorians to aid them in breaking out Satine as they couldnt do it on their own and later she aids Kenobi precisely to bring in the Republic military that would overwhelm Death Watch and Maul and basically dethrone him- but of course it turns out to be the Empire and the Emperor to be the true bigger evil something that she was oblivious to but Maul warned her - "Unfortunately for you, history will not see it that way."

I would imagine Rau and his men to be basically Bo-Katan allies that no longer affiliated under the Death Watch name or brand, where they fit into TCW's narrative is unknown because they weren't invented yet.

 

Can I just say how much I like Fenn Rau and the Protectors? I like this group because they're loyal to each other and have a great sense of honor compared to the other groups we've seen. I was sad to see them go, but at least we still have Rau. Seeing him put on that helmet in the episode was sort of sad to me, I hope we see him rebuild the group.

 

I'd bet anything Rau starts training Sabine as one his new Protectors.

 

That combined with her incoming saber training is going to make her a force to be reckoned with. Honestly at this rate I'm not sure how much better she can get.

 

I guess you can call Sabine his "Journeyman" Protector!

 

I mean what special training could he provide?

 

I don't know, what kind of training could a Green Beret provide a standard infantryman?

Rau is the leader of what are supposed to be the elite warriors of Mandalore, and now has a young, gifted warrior to mold.

Maybe Sabine was never taught how to use her gauntlets properly? I imagine Rau likely does.
