I took it as her being rocked to the core. She had nearly mocked her beliefs and suddenly had them reaffirmed. I also took her behaviors when with the other Mandalorians as being humbled. It was like she had taken the myths for granted all her life and was dismissive of them in her older age. And BAM! Everything she had been taught her entire life was unfolding in front of her.

[@172Mojohero]

Agree, hence the episode title being “Convert”. Like she is being converted to The Way as she sees these things first hand!

[@johnrains5240]

Yes i agree. Noticeably she does not remove her helmet anytime after seeing it normally she would. It’s obviously her honoring the creed. I look forward to her story.

[@michaelH0000]

Perfect!! Exactly!!

[@dungeonguy88]

Eh, seems too early to claim the beliefs of The Children of the Watch have been confirmed. At present, all that's been confirmed is that an animal they thought was dead, isn't dead.

[@ratulsadid]

I doubt she got "humbled" Bo will use the Myhtosaur to unite the mandalorians.I don't think she gives a crap about myths or superstitions,she probably joined Mando's cult to use them as a way to control the Mythosaur.

[@enox3547]

How would you behave if you saw a fundamental figure in your religion? Im sure she was rocked to her core and perhaps made her take a second look at her relationship her religion. This may have made her more receptive to keeping her helmet on while she tries to process what she saw.

[@UpTheChels10]

This. Im a religious guy so maybe naturally I also felt this, but I am happy someone else noticed this

[@shawiael4259]

I would tell my companion from the same religion what I saw. And cooperate with him/her for my people and all other best. Being a real RELIGIOUS person. Being jerk "fundamentalist" false religious a...e, who cares only about my ass and power I would say nothing, keep it for myself. Because saber is not mine but mythosaur can be if I won't share my knowledge. If I do someone more worthy can get him and what I will do if I loose my "right to rule" because I was accidentally born in rich or "royal" stuff?

[@dragonbank6807]

Honestly idk how I want the story to end, but I really like seeing Bo and mando working/ fighting together. They make a good team so I hope there is a way they can keep that dynamic. I also hope boba shows up at some point

[@Didusny]

Personally, I feel like time with Din affected Bo a lot, as well as seeing Mythosaur, it's possible that this season we'll see a transformation in Bo, and I sincerely hope so. As for the fact that Bo didn't tell Din that she saw the Mythosaur, I don't think she really knows if what she saw is real or just a delusion, hence the questions to Din, did he see anything or is there something alive down there, a bit like you're the only one seeing something that shouldn't exist, you don't know if you saw it for real or maybe your brain is playing tricks on you and the more you think about it the more you're not sure which is the truth. It seems to me that Bo herself doesn't know what to think about all of this. I think Grogu will calm down Mythosaur with force, and then the question is whether Din or Bo will be with him then, or maybe both, if Din well, it is known that he will become Mandalore, if Bo is with him, it is obvious that she will not let go of such an opportunity if it's Din and Bo then I'm sure Din will step down and let Bo because he doesn't want to rule. It also seems to me that for the final resolution of the Mythosaur issue we will wait until the last episode and the Battle of Mandalore, then we will find out who will become Mandalore, personally I would see it so that the Mandalorians fight the Empire, Din protects Grogu from explosion and they fall together to the caves where they meet the Mythosaur, Grogu seeing that Din is unable to pull them out calms the beasts as the Mandalorians on the surface slowly begin to lose to the Empire, Din and Grogu appears on the back of the Mythosaur turns the tide of the battle. I know I'm fantasizing a lot here, but it's worth dreaming.

My immediate thought was that she was waiting to go back and tame it and use it as a better claim than the darksaber. Bit of shock as well, but definitely plotting.

[@DizzyGorgon]

i think the moment she saw it, the plan to retake her rule of mandalore was plotted...she putposely kept her helmet on the remainder of the journey knowing she would be redeemed into the way, and will now try again to challange din for the saber in the hopes that once she has it, she can reveal the emergance of the mythosaur and start the process of reclaiming mandalore

Looking forward to seeing the mythosaur again this is the way

[@danathelittle]

remember this word " you are a mandalorian. Your ancestors rode the great mythasour. Surely you can ride this young foal"- from kuiil. legend of the Mythasour never left the show. Before the dark saber, Before everything , mythasour is the way of the show.

[@antidoteify]

I do remember too, Kuil was a great character

[@lorenzosullivan8679]

I think it's because Bo sees this as an opportunity to reclaim the throne without the dark saber. Din IS the new Tar Vizla at least that's what I think. For her, Din is exactly what Mandolorians are at their core. The Mythosaur is a right of passage to rule but the dark saber represents unification of Mandolor. It is a weapon that embodies balance. This is why Din struggles to wield it whereas Bo is a pro with it seemingly. Also I find it funny that Bo Katan knows of the force and the jedi but take her own people's history as tall tales.

[@davidsmith7962]

Seeing the Mythosaur is like Moses seeing the burning bush when God spoke to him.

[@robertg8565]

Din Djarin has so far been a means to a way for Bo-Katan, from the freighter hijacking, to finding Moff Gideon, to finding the only other way to rule Mandalore without the Dark Saber. The Children of the Watch are also a means to a way for her, Vizsla doesn’t buy it either. Vizsla always butted heads with Din Djarin since he got the Beskar from the Imperial warlord, but this is different. Bo is at a fork, exploit the tribe & be an opportunist, or support Din Djarin & the tribe. Din Djarin doesn’t want to be the new Mandalore, but maybe she can convince him with the aid of the Armorer.

[@darthsaint7743]

wrong 100 percent wrong lol itd ruin her image and itd be her going down the same raod as the clone wars. she will come out and tell the truth and end up making a new clan with din.

[@VoiceOfTheEmperor]

Let's not forget, the Mythosaur (idk if I spelled that right) turned away from Bo Katan when she was down there. It didn't move to eat, nor even attack her. It simply looked at her, then swam away. My money is that nowadays they're pretty docile. At least if they're fed well and treated well. Like Rancors.

[@trom120]

Or it was just a baby

[@ethanwoo592]

Or it sensed the presence of grogu considering it’s confirmed that he has the ability to communicate with Beasts as we saw with the rancour and this could also be the way they use to explain how mandalorian will end up riding it despite being unable to train simple beasts like blurrgs

[@Alejandra-cv7rj]

Dude that was no baby that thing was huge. That was a full grown adult. One thing I find odd the images on this video depict it as an overgrown t tex but why was it chilling so deep underwater. I just find that odd for such a large reptile to stay underwater.

[@trom120]

@Alejandra def a baby lol. But in all seriousness, weren't mythosaurs sometimes described as being much more massive?

[@BalthazarMyrrh70]

​@@trom120the mythosaur was described as being "the size of a small city." It also interesting that bokatan says the waters used to be not so deep. So did mytho seek to hide there after the bombing or did the bombing release something from very deep below? The mytho wouldn't have seen a mandalorian for a very long time, possibly believing all of them dead. So it was surprised as well.

[@lordvader8150]

Well done on the subscriber bit. I def force crushed the button for you.

[@C_Moore]

I don't think she lied. I think she was in disbelief about what she saw and didn't want to sound crazy if Din Jarin didn't see it as well and is actually coming around to want to actually adpot the old ways.

[@Uutalo]

My guess is that somehow Din is going to lose the dark saber to Bo or to Pre Vizla or something. Whoever gains it is going to unite the Mandalorians in a way that Din doesn’t like, so he’s going to ride the Mythosaur to get them to see reason and side with him. That’s just my guess though.

[@jaredgrimmett7335]

I believe this is a good setup for Grogu to becoming the leader of madalore, the darksaber passed down to him by his Father Dinjarin as he is a foundling. this combined with his ability to tame creatures as a force sensitive child would infact give Grogu the most likely chance to be the next ruler of mandalor.

[@dubs8049]

The Saber is too big for Grogu!! 😂

[@BalthazarMyrrh70]

I don't see grogu with the dark Saber. I do, however, think he may come back across yoda's old Saber, fit for his size... the dark Saber is din's and his progress arc will see him weild it confidently after perhaps more training with the armourer now that he has been redeemed.

[@walterp.chrysler]

The actress who plays Bo Katan gave an explanation of why Bo Katan said nothing about seeing the Mythosaur. It was in an interview that she recently did. "Why did Bo-Katan keep that huge reveal to herself? Bo-Katan's longtime portrayer, Katee Sackhoff reveals in a new interview with EW's Dagobah Dispatch that the former Mandalorian leader's intention wasn't nefarious. "She doesn't trust necessarily what she saw. She might have thought that she imagined it," the actress explains, and that "there's so many things that she's trying to process in her head that I don't necessarily think that it's something that she wants to tell anyone about right now." Sackhoff confesses that because of the hard losses Bo-Katan has suffered, she's naturally cagey. Also, her character doesn't know Din all that well yet, despite respecting him as a warrior and being intrigued by him and his belief system. And it's that belief system that Bo-Katan comes face to face with at the end of the episode when Din brings her to the Children of the Watch's hiding place after her ancestral home is destroyed on Kalevala." Just copy a few lines from the quote that I posted and search google with that, to find the full article.

[@carolbriscoe9337]

What surprised me was the Armourer's quiet reception of Bo-Katan. Especially after her bitter diatribe about Bo to Din in the Book of Boba Fett. I was sure she would denounce Bo to the Covert, and deny her 'cleansing'.

[@TheMangolorian735]

Well the armorer did specifically tell Bo she may leave anytime she likes to because she prolly doesn’t think Bo was going to stay long but, while she did go into the water herself then she is cleansed and the Armor knows this

[@kenrickwilliams5177]

I have been waiting on this

[@georgevanhoose6333]

Think of Bo-Katan as someone who casually goes to Church once in a while, usually because someone's grandmother suggests going for Easter or Christmas. Beyond the value of making a loved one happy, it holds very little significance for that casual churchgoer. But suppose that person suddenly found themselves confronted with a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Do you not think that would change that person straight to their core? Do you think maybe that person would start taking the faith more seriously? I think Bo-Katan hasn't said anything because she's just had her whole worldview turned upside down. The thing she always wrote off as an old legend that makes the elders happy, turned out to be true. She needs time to come to terms with what just happened. Then add the complication of her home getting destroyed, which she also needs to deal with. I think Bo-Katan doesn't even know what she's going to do yet. It's clearly shaken her, and I don't think she "inadvertently" followed the creed after emerging from the waters, she very much intentionally left her helmet on, she's a true believer now. She is the convert. Also: I think Grogu will tame the Mythosaur. Grogu will be the new Mandalor The Great, and Bo-Katan will accept this. Again, Bo-Katan is much wiser than she was when she followed Pre Vizla, she knows why she needs to avoid a civil war, and she has been very eager to discourage infighting between Mandalorians in the recent past.

[@dimetime35c]

I think it would more be like someone thats been a Christian lightly and called Mormons a cult suddenly seeing one of there prophets. You suddenly begin to question everything you know and whether your religion is actually real.

[@squuid15]

The Virgin Mary thing is dumb, as that has never been real, and has no chance of ever happening. The Mythosaur is not some creature that never existed, like religions and their gods now. It's just a creature that isn't extinct anymore. there has always been a chance that one is still alive. This is not the same as having a vision while in church.

[@user.91721]

im good

[@bRyaN.K.B3nz]

Yes and Bo and Dinn will raise Grogu to be a badass, but I believe before that takes place she will lose her way a bit and actually go for the Mythosaur herself and end up being rescued by Dinn and Grogu.

[@thomasjeffers3829]

Makes me wonder if the title of the series is a hint on how it would end up. “THE” Mandalorian as if he would “THE” leader of the Mandalorians 🤔

[@AS-ri1mb]

That’s what I always assumed. I’ll be disappointed if not 😭

[@AlkalineAjay]

It might be coincidence, but Bo Katan wielded the Dark Sabre again on… mandalore. Moments later her other home got destroyed by the empire. Perhaps this was the dark Sabre curse at work again???

[@kindredwolves]

I think a lot of people get Bo Katans motivations wrong. She didn't want the Dark Saber because she wanted to rule, she felt obligated to rule. She had failed and was trying to correct it. She was never a believer that there was anything special about the Dark Saber other than as a symbol. That shit was thrust on her by her family, and Sabine giving her the Dark Saber. Bo Katan has always been a follower. She didn't mention it cause it all feels hokey to her. Yet now maybe she found someone worth following.

[@TikkaQrow]

To be fair, she didn't lie. She just stayed quiet about it. She asked Din if he saw anything, but he didn't ask her if she saw anything. I mean, how would anyone react if a former royal that already failed to rally her people, and lost the crown (dark saber), suddenly spouted they saw God? People would think they're trying to use faith to grab power a second time. (Din might have believed her, he was there and 'wants' to believe more than most, but others WOULD be more skeptical) Bo Katan's near 50 years old by this show, she's been around and knows how quick politics can bite you in the bum.

[@KrazyJohnny]

Lied? She just didn't mention it

[@firepoet6926]

This is what I think, she explained how a leader subdued the creature, as a leader she is expected to subdue one, but she fears this creature. She is afraid of failing at this and so chooses not to recognize it. As leader it would be her responsibility to subdue the creature and secure the living waters. She is afraid to do so. Bo Katana fears failing to meet the standard set by the legend of her farther and thus failing her farther.

[@sophisticatedknuckledragge650]

I think we are still seeing a great character Arc from Bo that started last season. Din was just a means to an end at first but then he became this nagging friend who won't leave her be , which when all others left her , he was still there. She didn't have to dive in after him. Now that she sees the mythosaur she is still processing her feelings about what she saw. She might be thinking it's a way to rule Mandalore but then you add the layer of the children of the watch fully welcoming her after finding out she bathed in the living waters. I think by the end , you will find a selfish character who transforms into an unselfish being.

[@xoGenesisox]

Din tried to give Bo Katan the dark Saber previously.. he doesn't want power... Bo Katan knows that Din has no reason to fight her for the throne, he would yield to her with no issue... with that being said I'm pretty sure seeing the Mythosaur probably shocked Bo Katan, it's like seeing God to them.. she might not even know if that was real or not.. for all we know she might even believe she is seeing things..

[@undeadmage7341]

Here's a thought, we are focusing on Din and Bo to tame the mythosaur, but in the BoBF, we saw Grogu calm a raging rancor. Stay with me here, but what if as Grogu grows in his abilities, he's the one to tame the great beast?

[@zvono1232]

This is interesting opinion, and possible outcome.

[@herveysherd3682]

@Philip Strafello question, how does boba have anything to do with what I said, outside of mentioning the series xD

[@Star-Destroyer]

i was thinking this too. It could simultaneously start a new age of mandolore and unite the jedi as well. Obviously the mandolorians would have to accept grogu as one of their own though

[@RadioJosiah]

I think Bo is waiting and considering the angles. Trying to decide whether sharing this information would help or hinder her. She likes maintaining control. She is also reexamining her own beliefs. She was shook. She knows that if she opens this up, it's going to shake up everyone else too, and the result is difficult to predict. She is reluctant to let the genie out of the bottle.

[@yourweirdauntperfumeryskin3236]

My theory is that she's shocked and doesn't know what to do with this new information that there's actually a Mythosaur hanging out in the Living Waters. And I think once she gets over that, she'll wait until the right time to tell all of the Mandalorians who will likely show up at some point this season. The right time being once Din has mastered his demons and accepted that he could be a leader. But honestly, keeping all of Din's development in mind and his personality, I think he might hang around long enough to bring the clans together, but I don't think he'll remain in charge. He REALLY doesn't want it. Even though he's the link between the factions and the other fighters and independents throughout the Outer Rim. Because think about it: people love this guy. Every community and person he's come in contact with (who isn't an Imperial Remnant or pirate or general agent of darkness) considers him a friend. If anyone could unify the Outer Rim, it's Din. And that's why I think Din's influence is bigger than Mandalor.

[@MIXMASTERRFS3]

I'm hoping we get to see Bo Katan in the Ahsoka series too!

[@WWC89BB]

My 2 cents. Bo Katan may try to tame the Mythisaur but will fail. I feel Din Jarin will rescue her from the failed attempt and end up taming the beast. The guy you have to look out four is the decedent from house Vsla sorry for the spelling. The Mandalorin that challenged DinJarin for the dark Saber. He is not happy with Din and Bo. If anything will happen will because of him. He feels that he should be the leader of the clan and the rest of the Mandorlians. I feel he is going to set them up/betray them. Watch the end of the episode again. He stood there pissed off while all the Mandalorins welcomed Bo and Din.

[@RiQWitDaBliQ]

She seemed to have disbelieved the history and looked shocked that the stories of the mythasour were infact true.

[@Savitar_the_First]

I agree that Bo Katan was uncertain of what she saw and she had a plausible reason for keeping the Mythosaur a secret. But I think she has an ulterior motive and she can use this to her advantage. But thinking back she has said before that the Children of The Watch, the cult has fractured the Mandalorian culture and she does desire to rule Mandalore but she also wants the cult to be expunged. For it is not completely necessary to follow the old ways of the Mandalore, for this separated all the Mandalorian Warriors and Bo Katan seeks to unite them again under the same Way, with her as ruler. But I know that she is playing her cards carefully and she is seeking for the opportune moment. And I know that for now she has to abide by the rules of the Children of The Watch because she is going to need their aid later on down the line.

[@DegenPhilly]

Din and Bo together rallying all mandolorians

[@kingshadow8782]

Very interesting.

[@lyntonfleming]

I get the feeling that Din will end up keeping the Darksaber, learning how to use it an maybe eventually passing it on to Grogu. Meanwhile, Bo takes the Mythosaur, and the Rule of Mandalore, with Din swearing loyalty to her, keeping the Darksaber within Mandalore, but under the Mythosaur Rider. With this, you'd have Deathwatch/Children of The Watch following the Darksaber, who's following the Mythosaur. And any fractured tribes would fall in under one or the other, but ultimately be united together. Perhaps a political and a military faction from the Mythosaur and Darksaber respectively. Which would make sense, given Bo Katan's experience ruling (brief as it was) and Din's combat knowledge but lack of interest in actual leadership of an entire people.

[@majesticmsfc]

Bo Katan didn't lie, just didn't make mention of seeing it. Also Din has showed no desire to rule, only to be accepted by fellow Mandalorians and to raise Gogru in Mandalorian ways. I could see him throwing his support behind Bo Katan if she tames the Mythsaur.

[@staroceans8677]

Why tell who would believe her. And now, with her home destroyed, she has to stay with those because she's a survivor and she has no other options.

[@effen_aey_man]

There is a big difference between lying and not mentioning information

[@TheInstallations]

The episodes with the Living Waters reminded me of the Tree root cave in Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back. The mystical, aspect of Star Wars, when Luke confronted a Darth Vader who is his double. There is no rational behind it. Bo Katan had an epiphany, a mystical experience, a rebirth. Maybe she would grow as the legitimate leader of her people, again. She knows how to use the Dark Saber, and Din Djarin would be her prophet....Maybe Season 3 is about how Din Djarin helps recreating Mandalore and set back Bo Katan on the throne. Maybe the Mandalorian is about this character who recreates life wherever he goes.

[@nomad8024]

She hasn’t lied, she just hasn’t told anyone

[@kly8105]

Well...... maybe this isn't going to be about what the darksaber does for the galaxy but what the mandalorians chose to do with their culture, maybe they split into two groups that follow different creeds, one that follows the old ways and follow someone who subdues a mythosaur (either her or Din), and another group that follows the owner of the dark saber... the mask coming into play again would also be interesting.

I think both reasons make sense. She has indeed been rocked to her core, but is also still aware that if she suddenly speaks about a Mythosaur, she’ll sound like a power-coveting ruler inventing things so she can regain power.

[@nobiggie928]

Bo is the only person who knows of the mythosaurs existence as of now. The mythosaur marks the creation of the mandalorian culture is the old symbol of rulership. It would be interesting to see her taming the mythosaur, becoming ruler this way and being supported by Din, who weilds the dark saber, a more modern symbol of rulership. This way combined they could rally all mandalorians and perhaps be even more stronger as they combine the new and the old way?

[@UnswimmingFishYT]

It's pretty obvious Bo-Katan is thinking constantly about the mythosaur. The first thing she does after being accepted into the covert is look at the mythosaur symbol on the wall. It was probably clear to everyone watching that it would be a huge plot point the instant it showed up, so the only serious questions are who's going to try claiming rulership of Mandalorians, and which characters will follow which claimants?

[@johncane2824]

You know since boba rode on a rancor who else imagines din and grogu riding on the mythosaur with the dark saber ignored like a mandalorian legend emerging from myth to reality

[@TheAncientSith]

My theory is Bo Katan is keeping as much as she can secret so Mando won’t have much knowledge about anything. When the Mandalorians starting supporting her, and she was nodding as if she enjoyed the attention as if it made her feel the ruler again. I feel she might backstab him to take the Darksaber back to take control over Mandalore again.

Bo-Katan is ambitious but is she unscrupulous too? I see this differently. Bo has to come to terms with her doubts, her disbelief and her limitations. Din already faced these trials and came back to his convictions before his redemptive swim. Bo has been questioning too, but is just now facing the truth: there is more to her existence than she realized and eventually, she may have to concede the throne to a better warrior - Grogu.

The fact that she never took off her helmet after she saw it says everything. Seeing the mythosaur showed her that all the things she thought were myths might be real. She regained respect for the Mandalorian traditions and is considering taking her place as ruler again.

[@zeeefaaa9979]

she did not tell it to any one, means plotting to take mandalore for herself, she rules it once, and cause millions of life to lost. not worth of second chance

[@Dogsday198]

I think everyone is overthinking this one. Bo-Katan just experienced the reality of their beliefs. She is processing them clearly in that episode. Maybe finding out that the old ways have some merit after all.

[@dungeonguy88]

Which feels like a weird direction to me. Seeing a long-dead animal that the Mandalorians hunted to extinction is a big deal, but it doesn't really connect to never taking your helmet off.

[@Dogsday198]

@@dungeonguy88 guess they had to come up with something for a character that was never meant to be more than background in the OT... My best guess is originally it was about selflessness. To be one of many. Falling from the way made many power hungry and their infighting led to their downfall... just a guess. It seems like with the covert it is more about walking the path and protecting the group. I think this is what Bo will learn from the old ways and why the others were so quick to leave her if she didn't have the saber. There has to be a united path or mercenaries is really all they are good for.

[@husslehard8005]

Seem nobody noticed that when the armorer said you are now one of us she then proceeded to say this is the way and everybody else said this is the way as well bo didn’t say it

[@bRyaN.K.B3nz]

I’m pretty sure we didn’t hear her say the part about the cult not being around (from the trailers) so I believe she will actually say those words to where the Armorer or Paz Visla instead of Dinn.

[@brokenbridge6316]

You ask some curious questions in this video. We'll see them answered soon enough.

[@Penfold197]

She hasn't lied, she hasn't mentioned it.

[@w0lffe09]

Best way for the mandalorian people is to focus on Grogu being brought up as a proper mandalorian as he is a foundling. He was initially trained to be a jedi, so he can learn to use the darksaber properly and he can also use the Force to tame the Mythosaur. That way he will be the in a similar way like Tarre Vizsla, being both Mandalorian and Jedi. Also, his long lifespan would mean he can rule and protect the mandalorians for centuries keeping their tradition alive. Just need to craft him a proper beskar helmet.

[@apossessedbagel]

I feel like there would not necessarily be a power struggle between Bo Katan and Din Djarin, as he already tried to give her the Darksaber when he first acquired it. He doesn't seem to wish to lead his people, and therefor could potentially be a champion for Bo Katan if anything, so long as she returns to the way of the Creed.

[@wlamagdeleine]

Not telling someone something is not lying. I didn't tell you what I ate for breakfast, does this mean I lied to you? She asked if he saw it, he said no, she moved on trying to figure out what exactly she saw. This is considered lying to you? Interesting

[@damion19967]

Everyone says he fell. This is a Mando, falling into water isn't gonna knock him out. He would drop fast enough. He got yanked for a reason. He just didn't realize it

[@margaretchoffel6898]

What if Din was also lying? The last thing he wants is to become the Mandalore, that's is why the Dark Saber is difficult for him to wield it. If he admits that he saw something it would just underline his destiny..

[@squuid15]

He's not a liar. And if he saw a Mythosaur he would definitely tell someone. This theory has no weight at all

[@smackpappy7846]

Grogu's first words will be "This is the way" after taming the mythosaur

[@ironxcrosss]

I think, though it may be a fan service, but Din and Bo Katan marry and unite their claims as Mandalore, that way their child (Grogu imo but a blood relative can also work) will have claim to both the Darksaber and the Mythosaur if it can tame and ride it. Just as Boba Fett has claim to his father's armor even though he technically isn't Mandalorian

[@danieljoaquin3274]

What no one has mentioned is when Bokatan was saving Din she force pulled the dark Saber into her hand with the force or am I wrong. But if I'm not, doesn't that variable explain why she is fluent using it.

[@firepoet6926]

Interesting, this idea of a civil war, my understanding is Bo Katana looked down upon her people fighting as a weakness, I feel she would rather give up her leadership than risk a civil war.

[@keiranritter4890]

There are certain parallels that can be drawn between the temptation of Anakin Skywalker by Darth Sidious and the temptation of Jesus by Satan. Both involve a charismatic figure offering power and control in exchange for loyalty and obedience. However, there are also significant differences - most notably, Anakin's fall to the dark side is driven in large part by his own fear and anger, while Jesus remains steadfast in his faith despite Satan's many temptations. As to whether this adds to the overall tragedy of Anakin's character, I would argue that it does. Anakin's journey from hero to villain is one of the most compelling and tragic arcs in all of Star Wars, and the fact that he ultimately succumbs to the same kind of temptation that has plagued humanity for millennia only adds to the complexity and depth of his story. Ultimately, the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker lies not just in his actions, but in the circumstances that lead him down that path. From his turbulent childhood to his struggle to balance his duties as a Jedi with his love for Padme, Anakin is a deeply flawed and tortured character whose fall from grace resonates with audiences on a visceral level.

[@arbknight12]

Right now, without the Force, it would be REALLY difficult to tame something that big.

[@Enflict]

That's what she said.

[@AS-ri1mb]

Well the original Mandalore did.

​@@AS-ri1mb Facts

[@eastwoodrufus3763]

Put some Respect on the Original Mandalorians who tamed the Great Mythasaurs in the Great Mandalore days !!!

[@arbknight12]

That’s why I said “Right now”. Whatever techniques or tech the original Mandalore used are long gone. So Bo is going to have a harder time

[@Shadow6a]

I think she sees that even though she feels guilt and all her faults the Armorer accepts her as family again with no hard feelings and she is there of her own free will, free to leave at anytime.

[@Godzilla00X]

Probably political, that beast is her ticket back to the top if she can tame it. Don't want to let Mando know, would be awkward if she had to race him for it

[@dreemwalka]

you made me have to catch up on the episode. before i watched your vid... could a spoiler alert be put in the title?

[@varunaeeriyaulla]

I think Din is going to keep the Dark Saber. I mean, he is still struggling with it. That indicates he is going to have a long story with it. Bo will tame the beast, and she will lead the Mandalorians. Din will follow his own adventures in the coming seasons.

[@shadowclaw8607]

I'd like to see Bo and Dinn working together to unite all of Mandalorians.

[@Don2Rich]

What if that was a red herring and Bo tries to do this only to not be able to tame the Mythosaur and this sets up Bobba Fett since he has an affinity for beasts. By bathing in the waters and if he keeps his helmet on that would redeem him to Mandalorians and viewers as well.

[@Notthatguy29]

Someone is going to ride the beast, after that episode which do you think is more likely too? Especially after that secret divide

[@shkotayd9749]

Anyone notice the darksaber didnt weigh her down when she used it? Din can hardly use it. She used it without a single issue.

[@nasty3145]

She has Always had a game plan to lead or be leader of the mandalorians. Now that she is cleansed thanks go saving Din. She now knows if she can ride or capture the mytho animal. She can theoretically claim to be the leader of the mandalorians.

[@guypineau4602]

She is already the rightful owner of the dark saber Din- Jarn lost it to the robot eye and Bo Katan took it from it.

[@kimberlycooper9757]

Do you know if the Mythosaur is normally aggressive? Is it significant that the Mythosaur did not attempt to attack Din & Bo?

[@TheSentry603]

extremely aggressive

[@kimberlycooper9757]

@@TheSentry603 Thank you.

[@JGburneraccount]

Bo is so power hungry she doesn't deserve to rule. She just picks the side that can benefit her the most not her people.

[@rhadiem]

Agreed. She's not all bad, but she's ultimately a spoiled kid.

[@icypursuit5368]

How exactly would she show up anywhere on a mythosaur, I don't see it fitting in her ship, or know about them travelling through hyperspace. It's seems like if she gained control of it they are both stuck on mandalor.

[@personmcperson4440]

The bigger question in my mind was why Bo Kataan didn't claim the Darksaber when she saved Din. He was defeated and disarmed by the biodroid on Mandalor, she killed it and saved him with it. It should be hers by right.

[@schanataylor2067]

She wouldn't have won it in combat. Yes, she saved him from that droid thing, but she didn't defeat Din in combat. She needed to challenge and defeat him ....straight up.

[@jdcsteelers498]

I hope she helps mando and teaches him how to wield the dark saber and they both tame the mythosaur

[@justinlloyd2446]

I don't see Din having the desire to rule the Mandalorian people. He just doesn't strike me as one who is ambitious enough to want to rule. He does however seem completely balanced in all his dealings with other beings. I think he would make a great leader of them, yet I see him being bored with bureaucracy within the first five minutes. Bo Katan seems to have alot more to offer in terms of leading and governing a group of beings. As for the second question, mythosaur! Great video as always. This is the way.

[@dragonweyr44]

Bo Katan wants to ride the mythasaur herself and she's afraid that Djin will do it first

[@relixnova251]

Id love seeing a mando throw chains on a mythosaur like how anakin did in episode 2

[@andersbylund2753]

If Din keeps being the owner of the saber i dont think it will be a civil war becuase he dosent want to rule

[@Veritas1980-Chill]

Here's an important question. did filoni retcon her age somehow? lines from the clone wars would put her in her late 50's or early 60;s

[@benjaminZ20]

I hope its because shes shook and not because shes bein devious

[@malmal5845]

What if.. now this is just a if but what if grogu ends up with the darksaber? Thoughts?

[@caroldocherty6810]

Can someone tell me what is wrong with Pav visla (sp) he didnt seem very happy to see them both redeemed

[@rhadiem]

they're both threats to his claim for leadership. He's another "royal" of a former leader.

[@BittyBittyBongHit]

i got drunk and finally force crushed that subscribe button

[@bxcongero1]

Honestly, I think you're way off. I see Bo and Din becoming a power couple, and the will continue to raise Grogu as their child. Also, I think Din may be force sensitive. So with that said, his abilities will manifest themselves and taming the Mythisaur will be that much easier based on that fact, so his possession of the Dark Saber and taming of the great beast will make him the new Mandalor. Also, I think Bo and the Armorer are more closely related than anyone realizes, in fact I think they are sisters.
