Exactly. The armorer is also anti-Bo-Karen, at least from what was shown so far. She cares about her clan and doesn´t bend the rules even if they don´t suit her at the moment. She exiled Din but she didn´t try to kill him for not keeping the creed, and she gave him a possibility to redeem himself.

You just don't understand how Mandalorian society works. Mandalorians are proud warriors, train from childhood to become fierce combatants. Martial prowess and honor are two concepts very important in their culture. And they even have a creed every Mandalorian need to follow. From Bo-Katan's point of view, Satine was destroying Mandalorian culture and was not, by any mean, a Mandalorian since she was not following the creed or having any martial prowess. Yes she was okay with Pre Vizsla killing her sister because : - Satine was not a Mandalorian from her point of view. - Satine was destroying Mandalorian culture, weakening Mandalore. - Pre Vizsla was her Mand'alor and loyalty to Mand'alor is something very important for any true Mandalorian warrior. By the way, Maul was not Mandalorian either so when he took the throne, it was obvious she would not follow him. She's not hypocrite, she's just being Mandalorian.

yeah, and with complete disregard of how the ancient Mandalorian way was to accept any and all species within the fold. The original Mandalorian species who decided that, wasn't even human. They were essentially the Star Wars equivalent of Predators and the original natives of Coruscant. The only reason humans ended up being the largest racial group within the Mandalorians is because most of the planets around where the Mandalorians started recruiting and invading with that ideology of Mandalorians being a culture, not a species happened to be populated by a lot of humans. Bo-Katan would likely never want to accept Grogu has an actual Mandalorian foundling. On the other hand, the Armorer was all for it. Bo-Katan and those of Death Watch who left with her after Maul won were prejudiced and cherry picking rules and codes of the Ancient Mandalorians that fit their personal agenda. On the other hand, the Mandalorians from Death Watch who stayed with Maul and accepted him were actually the ones following the real ancient traditions. They weren't good people either, but I can at least respect their firm will to their ideology when they became actually loyal to Maul. Well, not all of them were truly loyal. Some like Gar Saxon were in it only for the power that came with it while some others like Rook Kast were genuinely loyal towards Maul.

[@RasakBlood]

@@sancturillore I mean sure to some extent. But are we really going to pretend that Maul followed the mandalorian ways other then at moments when it would benefit him? I think it very clear its more about him not really being mandalorian. Not that he was not human. Ofc there is nothing outright saying that. But acting shocked that she would not accept a sith outsider she already planned to get rid of is not that shocking. But yes tradition have never really mattered to her it feels like. She is always on the side of power and pragmatism to get what she wants. Going from planing to kill her sister to rescuing her all for the sake of the politics of it. She even changes the deal with Djin in the last season mockingly saying "this is the way" while doing so. Its not the largest backstab but its the same kind of practical flexibility around honor and tradition. But thats also kind of the entire thing about mandalorians.

First of all, thank you! I don't generally agree with your takes on Star Wars, but this really needed to be said.

While I understand in-universe she changed since then, the problem is, she had a serious lack of on-screen development. Maybe, if Disney didn't cancel TCW, she would've gotten a proper redemption-arc, but the way Rebels and TCW S7 The Mandalorian brought her back, and just pretended that she's a Jooan of Arc figure for Mandalore was really, really irritating (the scene where she throws Satine's murder at the hands of Maul in Obi-Wan's face is stomach churning, especially considering loyal she was to Pre Vizsla, who told her to her face, that he was going to kill Satine).

I think that's the thing I actually like about Bo Katan. She is actually a pretty terrible person who took part in dooming her people, getting her sister killed and pitching her people into a brutal civil war that would ultimately completely wipe Mandolore off the map. Yet, her principles is literally all she has left, because any attempt to change has resulted in tragedy. In particular, I love how she's eyeing up the Mandolorian with the Darksaber, both wondering whether she could kill him for it or remain honourable. This is despite the fact that Din really, really doesn't care and just wants to leave in sharp contrast to his even stricter honour system. She is a cruel person I love to see on screen because she is both noble and deeply flawed. Bound to a honour system that, frankly, was an excuse to seize power that went wrong, and has spent the rest of her life paying for her rebellion.

Agreed. And seeing her now trapped by tradition. Abandoned because she did not return with the saber failing AGAIN as a leader. But also knowing that the same thing would probably have happened if she returned with it but not having earned it again. How she talks about it telling din to go lead them because they will follow him if he just swings the saber around. The words seems filled with bitterness but also apathy. Fitting for a character in her position.

[@Replicaate]

Same. Bo-K isn't so much a hero or an antihero, more an...anti-villain. Someone who's done terrible things believing they were the right thing to do (and maybe because she was young and starry-eyed about Vizsla being a REAL Mandalorian who'd treat her right?) and who's been paying for those mistakes for decades now. Her flawed devotion to a system that has hurt her as much as anyone else is sad ultimately because it's all she has left. I like a good lawful good hero but someone like Bo-K is just endlessly fascinating for their flaws and problems.

And maybe the stricter rules might help them. “Your overconfidence is your weakness…” that’s her downfall right there.

Was her behavior in the Mandalorian show to be ignored like how she disrespected Boba fett and her comments about the Children of the Watch? Bo-Katan Kryze yes was determined to reclaim Mandalore and seemed wiser than before but she developed an overwhelming hunger for both vengeance and more importantly the Darksaber that Moff Gideon held which we never learned how she lost it to him to begin with. During the whole 2nd season she was hellbent for it I fear she's taken to the allure of power but knows not to cross tradition like before. In many respects Bo-Katan is a powerful and confident warrior but she's without honor given her tutelage by Pre Visla for she is willing to do whatever it takes to secure what she wants. For now she seems reluctant to challenge Din Dijarn, but who knows what she will do in the new season if she will be indeed honorable or succumb to her worser impulses to take what she wants for she demonstrated in the assault on Gideon's bridge how ruthless she is and willing to achieve her goals no matter the cost.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

That's the thing with the Mandalorians. I do think that the Watch shouldn't have the Darksaber.

She could just recruit him in a normal way but she wanted him to be in danger, so she could look like a savior. Then she lied about the purpose of the mission and changed the deal during it. She lied about "rightfully hers" darksaber. She ignored Din when he asked for help to save Grogu. Boba and Fennec on the other hand offered help by themselves. She agreed only because she smelled a chance to get the darksaber. She also wanted to take the darksaber illegitimately but Gideon roasted her too hard. :D And speaking of season 3 I suspect her from sending Din to die in the mines by some monster, so she could pull the darksaber out of a pile of poodoo later and make up some cool story about killing the bad guy who killed poor Din, sob!

The fact that she considers the mercenary work of the other Mandalorians to be bad shows that she had no interest in post-Ordo Mandalorian culture. Essentially she wants the Mandalorians to become galactic conquerors. She dismisses the Watch as extremists when their extremism is far less harmful than hers. Yes she doesn't care about religion, but I would argue that it was Mandalorian religion that prevented pre-Ordo Mandalorians from being an outright evil force. For context these guys nuked planets and were allies with the Sith, but Revan took notice of their honour codes and such. In fact, in pre-Filoni Legends it was Death Watch who were the corrupt extremists, and even though now they are trying to make her the norm, there is enough contradicting evidence of other Mandalorians in canon that means that she is still clearly interested in Death Watch's goal.

I appreciate Generation Tech's analysis of Bo-Katan's history/story, and I have no disagreement. I've always liked Bo-Katan as a character in general because she is so complex which makes her very interesting.

I think the force brings the dark saber to those who are worthy of it, Sabine just turned away from the call. OR... The mandalorain alluded to in the title, is in fact Grogu. That his hybrid upbringing from jedi to mando is closing the thousand-year circle. The dark saber started as a mando jedi, and will return to one.

Not to mention, she calls Din out for being a part of a group that tore their people apart, when that's exactly what her and her group used to do when Din was still a child.
