    Of course Barris gets my vote; with the full assumption that she'd have a far more prominent role in Ahsoka's series.

    If they wanted to be economical and ambitious, as paradoxical as that may seem, have Barris as Ahsoka's rival, establish her as a genuine peer in combat, and then have a sequence where Din has to survive her going all out to kill him with all her powers and skills.

    I'd be down for Barris to be a subordinate of Thrawn's.

    Wait Barris is alive? I voted for Boba, I wanted it when Boba was a bad guy, now it would just be practice. Hopefully both out of the armor, using physical skills only

    Barris’s condition is still *unknown* - she’s a popular candidate for having also survived to the present timeline because they still haven’t addressed what happened to her and she has the personal history with Ahsoka. It’s why she was a popular candidate for the Seventh Sister before it was clarified they were different people.

    Boba likely feels he owes Din a friendly debt, and considering he’s got a melee weapon and a history out of armor now, he might be a great sparring partner if Din ever gets “broken” and stripped of his armor.

    I picked the first three, but also Axe and Koska. I don't know if it would actually happen, but it occurred to me that one or both of them could challenge Din independently or at Bo-Katan's behest. If Bo is unsure of the situation (since she didn't challenge Din in The Rescue, or afterward), she could test Din without risking herself.

    Outside of the poll options, I'd like to see at least one surviving Saxon.

    Din vs an old, grizzled Korkie is the way.

    With a name like Korkie, he must be taken seriously as a threat.

    I voted Jango's Headless Corpse...because why not get those numbers up...

    But seriously...Bo-Katan. I still want her to win the Darksaber and unite the Mandalorians. Have some sort of large gathering where representatives of all the houses and clans show up...including the Armorer and Paz. Sabine is there was well and Ahsoka. When Bo tries to kick things off to decide what the way forward for the Mandalorians is the Armorer makes a stink about Din having the Darksaber so he is the rightful ruler. Which pushes Bo to challenge him. They set the duel for 3 days hence and Bo gets a crash course in wielding a lightsaber from Sabine and Ahsoka. For the duel Sabine lets Bo use Ezra's lightsaber. It is a protracted fight taking up at least half an episode with a brutal fight that Bo eventually wins by disarming Din and knocking him to the ground. Din honorably yields the duel and Bo is seen as the rightful ruler of Mandalore...with even the Armorer accepting her.

    The gathering would also be a way to bring in a bunch of previously established Mandos like Fenn Rau, Korkie and his classmates, etc...

    and @godisawesome you spelled Korkie's last name wrong...it is spelled K-E-N-O-B-I.
