Though I’m confused as to why Bo Katan could accept the dark saber from Sabine but not from Mando.

That was my thought at first but there are a few possible explanations. Sabine found the Darksaber in Maul's lair. Sabine's mom, Ursa Wren, told her that no one would follow her lead due to the Darksaber because she did not win it in combat from Maul. Later, Sabine's mom betrayed her and gave the Darksaber to Gar Saxon. Neither Sabine or Saxon had come into possession of the Darksaber by winning it in combat at that point. Then, Sabine defeated Gar Saxon in combat. So it's questionable whether Sabine was a rightful owner of the Darksaber as Saxon had no legitimate claim to it when they fought. Bo-Katan only accepts the Darksaber from Sabine (after initially declining it) when the other clans proclaim support for her as the new leader of Mandalore.

There could have been issues that followed from Bo-Katan's acceptance of the Darksaber previously. Perhaps her claim to the Darksaber was ultimately rejected by the people of Mandalore because she didn't win it in combat or because Maul was never defeated for it and so she knows that won't work this time. When she accepted it the first time, she already had the backing of the people to be the new ruler so it's also possible that she knows she needs to win it this time to get people to follow her lead, unlike last time. Since Dave Filoni is one of the producers of this show and he was in charge of Rebels and he knows this universe like the back of his hand, I'm sure this is a question that he thought hard about before it went down this way in the episode.

There definitely needs to be an explanation. At this point

Spoiler

Maul was defeated by Obi Wan, Obi Wan by Vader and Vader by Luke? So Luke would be the rightful ruler of Mandalor? Hopefully in season 3

Plus I thought Bo Katan was killed by Gideon at the end, until I saw her standing after Luke left.

Lol, the spoiler is hilarious but True! Could be Mando’s ticket back to Grogu!!

Mando shows up at his door. “Listen, I’m taking the child, you can fight Bo Katan for the dark saber. Bye Felicia!” Then he leaves to go find a ship.
