Animated Shorts Forces of Destiny - Episode 27: Art History Discussion Thread

It's neat that they're using FoD to fill in the blanks of other content. It would have been cool to get an extra episode in Mandalorian space with Sabine but that probably wouldn't have tied in well with the main story line of season 3.

 

Interesting. Looking forward to it.

Her armour looks MUCH better, too.

 

Yes she did!

Never mess with a Mandalorian's obsession with art now imagine what Thrawn would have done instead!

 

So Sabine must actually be quite a few years older than Tristan. I'm guessing around 3-4 years.

Nice short. These are getting better.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that some of the stories surrounding Tarre Vizsla are myths. Mandalorian folk lore. Fenn Rau says he became a jedi, but here Sabine says he was a Mandalorian ruler. I doubt the Jedi Order would allow one of their knights to rule a planet, or even a faction. That seems anti-Jedi. Then again, who knows what the Old Republic Jedi were like in canon?

 

Here's my take on it, he's kinda like a anakin character. He was a jedi probaly the best they had like Anakin in skill and force powers, then he abonded them and becoming ruler of Mandalore, Mabye he's Mand'alore the ultimate. He migh have been the first of the lost 20's. He was both i believe, but how and why is the qouestion? He's a big legend among the Mandalorians and was popular among jedi. I believe that all the Vislas are his direct descended, and he cared more about Mandalore then a corrupt reppulic who the jedi served without qouestion.

 

Tarre was inducted into the order like any other Jedi, so he must've been a Jedi first then become a Mandalorian.

 

he was a Mandalorian first, who the Jedi Order inducted- at least that's how Rau told the story. It's possible he gave up his leadership, but I find it more likely the Jedi ran things differently back then. I imagine the Jedi Order became more and more centralized as time went on, until the Coruscant Temple became a permanent headquarters for their organization. If that's the case then it would be plausible that before such a restructuring, Jedi would be allowed to assume positions of leadership on planets throughout the galaxy like Mandalore, so the Jedi Order would have allies and places of refuge other than The Republic.
There must have been a time before the Jedi were associated with the Republic when the Jedi were simply nomadic force users. Over time there would have been a transition where that nomadic group would become sedentary until eventually they exclusively became peacekeepers for the Republic and established a main temple at the Republic's capital.

 

? I'm pretty sure I remember a directors commentary saying he was inducted like the rest of the Jedi.

May have been Rebels Recon. Need to find it.

 

Could be a special case, like Ki Adi Mundi from Legends. He had a ton of wives because the male to female birthrate was so low. I kinda hope they keep that, it made him more of an interesting character. And if Jedi can make exceptions for things like this from time to time, it would make the Jedi a whole lot more likable imo.

 

A very good episode. Tristan seems to be a lot younger then Sabine. I did not get that feeling from Rebels. Anyway, it's interesting to see that Tarre used to be Mandalore. My bet is he was trained until he was a Jedi Knight/Master and while he was still a Jedi became ruler of Mandalore.

 

Hey, Mandalorian lore! This suddenly became more significant!
