Mandalorian Culture Article by Karen Traviss: Insider #86

don't feel bad. i don't get it either, Q_M.

maybe that's a good thing...

 

Yes, yes it is.

You haven't been corrupted yet!

 

Would that it were so.

Probably.

Still, an explanation would be nice, so I can tear whatever you're implying more easily to shreds.

 

I was implying something about the loose morals of Zeltrons and Twi'leks, and their lack of commitment to one partner...

That enough of a hint?

 

Okay... that's more or less what I thought you were getting at.

 

But why would a girl want to clone her husband when she could have a little variety, instead?

But seriously, I agree, it would be somewhat creepy. As can be seen in HC and TZ, clones are not all the same...

Eloquent.

That's downright terrifying.

Why take off your boots? I'm curious.

That's what I got out of it, too...

 

Perhaps Mandos have a foot fetish?

 

And they say women are oppressed.

I always though "genetic memory" to any great degree was more than a little silly.

*bows*

*shudders*

Perhaps you're right. She'd be enough of a handful without a full suit of armour loaded to the spaulders with weapons.

Conjecture:

1: It's simple politeness

2: It'll make you an easier target in the event that you turn out to be an enemy trying to attack them in their own home.

Interestingly, what's made clear in the article would mean that Boba Fett's thoughts on morality in A Barve Like That (or Last One Standing; I keep confusing them) are representative of Mandalorians in general.

 

To avoid tracking dirt inside, I would think.

 

Yea, so you dont dirty their floor etc. I've seen many people who get pretty pissed about something as simple as that.

 

someone's thinking creatively...

I really enjoyed this article,though I didn't get to do an indepth read on it. I find Quiet_Mandalorian's comments on the subject quite as in formative as the article itself.*ingratiating smile* This guy knows his stuff.
Anyhoo,I'm in the middle of Triple Zero-and all I can say is...Kandosii,Karen-what a read!!
P.S. Does anybody know where I can get a good Mandalorian dictionary?

 

There's a word glossary (in a .pdf) on this page.

 

So that's what 'Ner Vod' means...

(And here I kept wondering if Q_M was just applying shades of that Far Side 'Lone Ranger' cartoon... )

 

that's understandable...knowing how he thinks sometimes...
