The question is why Din is so hellbent on resurrecting IG-11. Before he heads to Mandalore, he’s determined to find the parts he needs to fully rebuild IG-11. That paves the way for Mando’s first real quest in Season 3. Enough of IG-11’s body survived the self-destruct blast to reassemble, but his memory chip is damaged beyond repair. Now Mando seems intent on bringing back IG-11, who heroically sacrificed himself in the Season 1 finale. First, The Book of Boba Fett cut short Grogu’s Jedi training (which, according to Jon Favreau, lasted anywhere between one to two years) to reunite the little critter with his dad. Will he lead, or will he find a way to pass the Darksaber onto another? Maybe Bo-Katan will work up the nerve and actually defeat him this time? Maybe Boba Fett will get tired of ruling over his tiny criminal empire and stake his own claim for Mandalore? That, at least, has some basis in the old Expanded Universe stories.īoth The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have been making a habit of bringing back characters we thought were out of the picture. Hopefully, by the end of Season 3 we’ll have a better idea of where his story is headed and whether Din is ready to accept the responsibility that’s been placed upon him.
If he is destined to become the new ruler of Mandalore, it won’t be until after he returns home and finds those fabled pools. Din doesn’t even believe himself to be a true Mandalorian until he can bathe in the living waters of Mandalore and cleanse himself of sin. The problem remains, though, that he doesn’t actually want that responsibility. If he can reunite his people and earn the respect of Bo-Katan’s “stolen fleet,” Mandalore might once again become a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy. Now that Mando won the Darksaber in battle against Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon, he’s suddenly become the best candidate to unify the galaxy’s scattered Mandalorians and rebuild Mandalore. Even she now seems resigned to giving up her throne, as she doesn’t bother to challenge Din when he pays her a visit. And because she lost the blade during the Purge, her worthiness is a moot point anyway. Bo-Katan once wielded it during the heyday of the Empire, but the fact that it was given to her rather than earned in combat means she was never truly fit to rule in the eyes of some. By now we know that this weapon signifies the right to rule Mandalore and lead its people. Since its original appearance at the end of Season 1, the Darksaber has become increasingly central to the plot of The Mandalorian. He himself would have been too young to defend Mandalore, but the adults in his cohort failed their world. Din may feel this is another sin for which he has to atone. According to Bo-Katan, the Watch turned their backs on Mandalore and its people before the Empire’s Purge, leaving the planet that much less defended in its hour of need. Their conversation also reveals that Mando and his fanatical cohorts, the Children of the Watch, share their own part of the blame for Mandalore’s fate. She rules over nothing but an empty castle. Bo-Katan was leading her own faction in Season 2, but after once again failing to claim the Darksaber in honorable combat, she’s basically lost all support from her people. Mando’s reunion with Bo-Katan adds more insight into the current fractured state of the Mandalorian people. They bombard the planet with so much turbolaser fire that the soil itself melts and crystallizes. The Empire seems to have taken the same scorched earth approach to rebellious worlds as the Covenant in the Halo franchise. Mando has uncovered an artifact taken from Mandalore’s surface, one the Armorer fears is a sign the surface has been reduced to glass. “The Apostate” digs even deeper into the Purge and the current state of this ruined world.
We’ve seen glimpses of what Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan and Emily Swallow’s Armorer refer to as “The Purge.” At some point after Bo-Katan accepted the Darksaber from Sabine Wren in Star Wars Rebels, the Empire decimated Mandalore and left the planet’s surface a smoking ruin.
#HALO BATTLE FLEET RULES SERIES#
The Season 3 premiere builds on one of the fundamental themes of the series - the idea that the Mandalorians are still divided and homeless even years after the fall of the Empire.
