It also feels strange that they left the matter of the darksaber unresolved. It will be interesting to see what happens, although I don't really want Din leading Mandalore.

@SwellingFoil266 its not unresolved. Din now is the proper wielder lol. I suspected they were grooming Mando for the role.
Mando checks all the leadership boxes. He's got high moral standards, is humble and will do anything for those in his protection. Bo Katan and Death Watch are the "win at all cost" variety, and she still seems to have some of that in her.
We all wondered if Gideon defeated Bo Katan for it. I think the answer is yes. That's why Bo Katan wants it back so badly.
I can't get the normal reply to work on the forums somehow to tag this properly, so...
*** Clone Wars and Rebels spoilers ***
Bo Katan never actually won the Darksaber in combat. She was appointed regent after Siege of Mandalore without actually wielding the Darksaber. I think that's why she wants to face Gideon so badly. It was finally her shot to win it in combat.
Maul defeated Pre Viszla for the Darksaber.
In Rebels, Sabine Wren found it in Maul's lair.
Maul was never defeated in combat for it.
Ursa Wren even told Sabine she had no claim to it, so she gave it to Gar Saxon (the Empire's appointed governor of Mandalore) as a peace offering. Sabine won it back, defeating Gar Saxon.
Sabine gave it to Bo Katan since it never was her's by right of combat in the first place.

- 5 years ago@ArchAngeL-PCX She didn't have any problems accepting it the first time though. I wonder why its different now.
- 5 years ago@SwellingFoil266 I've seen a theory (Star Wars Explained I think) Bo Katan viewed it as a mistake. Clearly it didn't work out for her. Maybe the fact she didn't actually win the Darksaber by combat caused problems uniting the factions.
- 5 years ago@ArchAngeL-PCX Obi wan killed maul
darth vader killed obi wan
palpatine killed vader
palpatines technically still alive.

(excuse my capatilization i dont care enough to fix it.) - 5 years ago@SwellingFoil266 lol true. But then...
Maul defeated Obi-Wan at least twice in Clone Wars
Ahsoka defeated Maul in Siege of Mandalore
Vader defeated Ahsoka in Rebels
Vader defeats Palpatine and becomes a force ghost.
