in the latest ep of the mandalorian, ep 6, we see bo Katan is now the rightful owner of the dark saber. as Din claims since he lost to cyborg dude on mandalore, and it lost to Bo, making Bo the rightful owner of the dark saber. Why didn’t Din just say this to her 4 episodes or so ago? Why have her fight Axe Woves when he could have just told her that she’s the rightful owner, as she walks up to them and ignites the blade, boom, done. Now she can unite everyone under her rule. Now while I’m going to talk about what this means for her going forwards, and by forwards I mean the next 2 final episodes for this season, but I first want to say this endowment of the blade didn’t sit well with me. It seemed pretty lame and just overall lazy. I think something much more fitting would have been to have Bo beat Axe Woves like she did, reclaim her fleet, bring them to Nevarro, then Moff Gideon shows up as he tracked his ship, fights Mando, beats him, takes the dark saber, and then Bo fights and beats him, thus being the rightful ruler of the dark saber and ruler of the mandalorians. I think that would have been a bit more fitting for Bo and been a bit more of an achievement, seeing as how he took it from her to begin with.
Anyways, it’s hers now and everyone accepts that. She’s going to get her entire fleet back, koska reeves, axe woves, etc, to not follow Bo would be a sin among mandalorians. Now, there’s two options here, either she wont’ stop there. She’ll venture to other parts of the galaxy to bring together more mandalorians, maybe even Boba Fett, or she feels this is enough for now, as she goes back to nevarro and shows everyone the dark saber she now holds. They all unite under her and she leads them to Mandalore, where Moff Gideon tracks them because of Axe Woves who is probably more loyal to Gideon than Bo as he dislikes her for abandoning them and for beating him. He shows up with his fleet and Axe joins him. I think the only thing to save the day now would be for someone to tame the mythosaur on the planet. I think Bo would go to the mines, or lead them all to the mines, as she would maybe work with mando to tame the beast. Mando would have Baby Yoda who would eventually use his beast control through the force to tame the monster, allowing either bo or Din to ride it. I could see Mando riding it into battle to save the day, as Bo leads the mandalorians with her dark saber. It’s a pretty cool image to visualize.
They would defeat Moff Gideon until of course a massive star fleet appears in orbit, as a ship descends and a cloaked figure steps out, lightsaber ignited, we cut to Thrawn in his ship, ordering tie interceptors to bombard the battlefield.
End of episode, end of season.
Now that would be a cliff hanger. Who is the cloaked figure? Is it Ezra? Is it some other dark Jedi? Or is it a cloned force sensitive?
