![]() He's the most relatable character in Star Wars nowadays, a commoner who stumbled into a place of importance and is making it work precisely because of his simple values. Din's also the moral compass for other Mandalorians - even getting through to Paz Vizsla, despite their animosity. We might watch Bo-Katan struggle with her leadership, sure, but it will never be the same as having someone lead the way (no pun intended) as Din did for us. His evolution has been a joy to watch, not because of the cuteness of the duo's relationship (although it is super cute), but because we got to grow with him, and learn from him. She came from a different background than Din, what with being royalty and all that.Īsserting and defining what it means to be Mandalorian has always been Din's purpose, not Bo-Katan's, because he is the one growing into his Mandalorian-hood and leading Grogu on his own journey. She sure is the Mand'alor, the leader of all Mandalore, but the Mandalorian is a difficult title for her to attain because, well, she isn't. Of course, Season 3 is going deep into whom Bo-Katan is and why she's worthy of her position, but, since titles are important, she holds a different one. The foundations of the series were laid quite clearly in Season 1, and even when Mando's horizons began to broaden in Season 2, all of that impacted his character and his storyline. People who've only known her from The Mandalorian may not have that much familiarity with her, but it's been made clear that she is worthy of leading Mandalore and carrying the Darksaber - but she is not t he Mandalorian. ![]() Those of us that have watched every Star Wars show know and love Bo-Katan since her teenage years when she first appeared in The Clone Wars. But going back to this in the penultimate episode of Season 3, especially with all that has apparently been going on behind the scenes, does make us a little weary. Then came Season 2, and the universe suddenly grew a lot larger for Mando and Grogu, as they kept all their friends and company, old and new. We know that, once, The Mandalorian wasn't afraid of killing off important characters, as it did with Kuiil ( Nick Nolte) and IG-11 ( Taika Waititi) back in Season 1. To IGN, he mentioned that, at this point, "anyone" could be " the Mandalorian," almost making a point of leaving that up in the air, while also talking about Bo-Katan having the Darksaber and her prominence as a potential new lead for the show. In all of them, Rick Famuyiwa was present, as he's directing episodes and is a producer on all of them, too, and provided some updates on what the future holds for the series. ![]() Something else that was up at the huge Star Wars con were the many panels about the so-called Mando-verse - the corner of that universe that's comprised of the series led by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau - starting with The Mandalorian itself. The timing for these rumors to come up is perfect, aligned with the events of Star Wars Celebration Europe - and Pascal not being present. This time, word has been thrown around about the Mando star having a "blow up" on the set of the series, which, according to said rumors, would be the second time this has happened, and could possibly mean him not coming back for further seasons. ![]() ![]() Every so often, the internet gives space to some weird rumors, especially when they're about stars as big as Pedro Pascal, and shows as big as The Mandalorian. ![]()
