Oh please, you know damn well that Kenobi wasn't going to abandon Luke and not keep tabs on him, and in case you forgot, Tatooine is still in Hutt Space, not under the Empire's direct control.
Mandalore very much was under the Empire's direct control, and even without Maul, they could not have stayed out of the Empire.
Also, you keep acting like Mandalore and Alderaan are the same sorts of places; they very much aren't and that is a big factor in what made it safe for Leia to go with Bail while it's be foolish to take Luke to Mandalore. Alderaan was a truly pacifist planet, a law abiding one, and one that didn't have any real connection to Kenobi at the level Mandalore does with Satine and Mandalore is a much more...troubled place than Alderaan, but harder to hide on than Tatooine.
Your put-upon tone is not appreciated, particularly since you're engaging in blatant sophistry.
-- Obi-Wan wasn't going to abandon Luke and not keep tabs on him? No, obviously not. Nor did I say that he would -- only that if Luke's safety from Imperial agents was
the great big priority (as you previously implied), it would have made sense for Obi-Wan (the well-known wanted fugitive, quite possible nr. 1 on the galactic 'most wanted' list) was
as far away from Luke as possible. Since Obi-Wan kept close anyway, this indicates that Luke's safety in that regard wasn't the only consideration. (And that safety was
your argument against going to Mandalore...)
-- Tatooine is still in Hutt Space? Yeah, Hutts, the well-known slavers, in control of the planet where Obi-Wan once encountered nine-year-old Anakin
as a child slave. That's not the masterful argument for going to Tatooine that you seem to think it is.
-- Mandalore very much was under the Empire's direct control? Mandalorian Space enjoyed considerable sovereignty, and although Obi-Wan wouldn't necessarily have been certain, it turned out that the Empire actually
did keep up the semi-autonmy of the "allied regions". (For much the same reasons that the Nazis didn't invade Switzerland.) In OTL, Mandalore got bombed because its ruler (Bo-Katan) proved actively resistant. Satine, a non-interventionist pacifist, would not have prompted that reaction. In that regard, Bail and Satine are very much alike: Palpatine views them as weak milquetoasts of little consequence. Being thought of that way provides a certain safety, for a time. It doesn't make you a prime target.
-- Kenobi has a connection to Mandalore? His feelings for Satine were, for obvious reasons, hidden. Anakin knew implicitly, but there's zero reason for Palpatine to know. And zero reason for Obi-Wan to
think that Palpatine would know.
-- Mandalore is a more troubled place than Alderaan? Sure. But hardly a more troubled place than infamous "hive of scum and villainy" Tatooine!
-- Mandalore is harder to hide on than Tatooine? I see no reason why that should be the case. Death Watch certainly managed to hide itself all over the place. Repeatedly.
In short, your reasoning remains pretty flawed here. You may see these things differently, but it's just your interpretation, your "fanon", as it were. Not an interpretation that I share. I find it interesting that you act as if I'm unreasonable for
not treating your fan interpreations as hard fact.
