The Mandalorian The Armorer

If Bo is 20-25, and the mandalorian civil war happenned 20 years before the clone wars, Bo Katan would be baby or small child.

 

Yes. That's what I meant by "very young".

 

Seems like the Armorer is the most qualified at the moment to wield the darksaber. Fully understands its history. After that training session she would have no issues winning it in battle against Din. He doesn’t really seem too keen on ruling Mandalore anyway. Paz can hardly lift it. Bo Katan had her chance and lost it. Sabine just gave it away.

 

The Armourer would be the worst for it and would bring back the old Mandalorians with neo crusaders and all. The ones who The Republic and jedi feared in the okd Republic. The best candidates are Din, Sabine, Bo katan.

 

Grogu would be better choices than Din, Sabine and Bo-Katan. That speakers volumes.

 

For sure but Gogu isnt ready yet, in future sure.

 

Which is why I specified “at the moment” regarding the Armorer. There are no outstanding candidates available during the current timeline.

 

Sure there is, Sabine and Din are there more likley for the momment. Both can help improve Mandalore. Sabine didnt want the darksaber yet because she wasent ready and still a teenager

 

Ever since Grogu was accepted as a foundling, I thought he would be the next Tarre Vizsla. A Mando Jedi who will lead Mandalore into a new golden age.

 

At this moment, Din has shown no interest in ruling Mandalore. Sabine explained to Bo Katan in Rebels why she didn’t want to the responsibility.

 

And a good 900 years Golden age if he is able. Maybe with Gogu as Mandalorian/Jedi. A new jedi Mandalorian age

Din id the athurian legend like Luke Skywalker who rejects the hero's journey, but later comes to accept it. And Sabine was not ready for the responsibility, but after finding Ezra. Sabine might be, both Fenn Rau and Bo Katan believes Sabine could one day rule Mandalore and that she could be the best of them like the past Mandalorians.

 

I wonder what part both Sabine Wren and Boba Fett will play on the Mandalore arc. Both were in a way discarded from Mandalorian society. And both stayed oit of the conflict. Both are proven warriors and leaders.

 

Yeah. The Armorer is clearly the archetypal sage/ oracle. Whatever her hero’s journey might have been earlier in her life, it’s essentially at its end. She’s not striving for temporal power. She’s imparting wisdom.

 

She dosen't seem to have high thoughts on other Mandalorians like the Kryze family.

 

That’s because the Armorer believes “the creed” is a way of life and survival. The wisdom that she believes is necessary to the survival of what Mandalore culture and truths she holds close. To her credit the Tribe (even though now much smaller) has survived following the creeds mythology

 

Well yeah because they hid like cowards in the gutter. Bo and her people didn't hid and they are doing fine, Armorer's sect didn't join the rest of Mandalrians againt the empire, i wonder how many more refused to fight and if all had fought they might have pushed back the imperials.

 

Bo seems to be under the impression that the curse of the darksaber is in fact a real thing, otherwise she would have had no qualms with receiving it back from Din. So even she's become superstitious in the wake of her tragic rule.
The curse is new lore - we just assumed that other Mandalorians would not respect a claim to the throne using the darksaber if the owner did not win it in combat, seeing as Mandos are a dramatic people who respect strength. We never knew anything about a legendary curse that doomed Mandalorian society as a collective if a person claims the Mandalorian throne without winning the blade in combat.

 

Just wanted to chime in and say I've really enjoyed these past few pages on this thread. Interesting thoughts, and great discussion! Thank you, all!

 

Considering the Mandalorians STOLE the dark saber from the Jedi Temple, I think it might end up that Din ends up, after various events, giving it back to the Jedi. He already has the connection through Grogu. The Dark Saber at this point if anything is one more obstacle keeping the remaining Mandalorians from uniting or finding common ground, because someone is always going to have to "win the Dark Saber in battle" which automatically makes them leader in most Mandalorians minds and it's potentially keeping people who would be better leaders from actually leading. Either that, or destroying it.

 

I do think they are building up to Grogu having something to do with the future of Mandalore.

 

Villain!
