Dick move!Īs Moff Gideon said in the season finale of The Mandalorian’s second season, “The Darksaber doesn’t have power the story does,” and if no-one is around to witness the story, it’s just the same as if the story never happened. That means that Din knew she was the rightful heir to the weapon and still chose to carry it around this whole time. This episode did reveal a vital piece of information that was obfuscated in “The Mines of Mandalore:” that Din himself knew that Bo-Katan had used the Darksaber to save him in the bowels of Mandalore. Din Djarin hands the blade over to Bo-Katan, who subsequently activates the blade before the episode cuts to the credits. The Nite Owls appear to agree, with Axe Woves - their just-defeated leader - verbally acknowledging the veracity of his argument. Would this blade then not belong to her?” Din Djarin, being correct and right in The Mandalorian S3 E6, “Guns for Hire” Image: Lucasfilm “Bo-Katan rescued me and slayed my captor. “While exploring Mandalore, I was captured and this blade was taken from me,” Din tells the former members of the Nite Owls on Plazir-15. As we see at the end of this week’s episode, it appears that even Din himself seems to agree with that argument. What I will not apologize for is that, despite my error, my argument was still correct! Bo-Katan became the rightful owner of the Darksaber after rescuing Din Djarin from that awesome, creepy Phil Tippett-ass monster. I apologize for misleading readers to believe then that Bo-Katan was in possession of the fabled Mandalorian-forged lightsaber at that point. When I wrote about Bo-Katan and the Darksaber weeks ago, I erroneously stated that she took possession of the weapon in the second episode of this season, “The Mines of Mandalore.” As several commenters on that article stressed to point out, I was wrong, there actually was a brief scene in which Din Djarin is seen clipping the Darksaber back on his belt after being rescued by Bo-Katan. However, as seen in “Guns For Hire,” there appears to be a loophole in the rules of that particular urban legend. Whoever wields the Darksaber is considered the rightful heir to the throne of Mandalore, but to attain the weapon, one must defeat the previous wielder by either killing them or otherwise convincing them to yield. The Darksaber was passed down through the generations of Vizsla’s family and used to unite the warring factions of Mandalore under one banner. Some laser sword backstory: In the Star Wars Extended Universe, the Darksaber is a black-bladed lightsaber that was created and wielded by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order. all of Mandalore? Who could’ve seen that coming?

After our hero Din Djarin took a bath because he’s a dirty, filthy apostate (boo!) and rejoined the loving embrace of his fellow Mandalorian cultists, the season dedicated an entire episode to exploring the bureaucratic banality of evil and the “difficult” (not that difficult) question of whether all space Nazis are bad, and hey, even everyone’s favorite big furry Lasat star pilot from Star Wars Rebels, Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios, showed up in the fifth episode! Everyone loves Zeb!Īnother major upset occurred at the end of this week’s episode, “Guns for Hire,” that spells big movements for the future of Mandalore. A lot of major events have happened during this season of The Mandalorian.
