If he is destined to become the new ruler of Mandalore, it won’t be until after he returns home and finds those fabled pools. Din doesn’t even believe himself to be a true Mandalorian until he can bathe in the living waters of Mandalore and cleanse himself of sin. The problem remains, though, that he doesn’t actually want that responsibility. If he can reunite his people and earn the respect of Bo-Katan’s “stolen fleet,” Mandalore might once again become a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy. Now that Mando won the Darksaber in battle against Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon, he’s suddenly become the best candidate to unify the galaxy’s scattered Mandalorians and rebuild Mandalore. Even she now seems resigned to giving up her throne, as she doesn’t bother to challenge Din when he pays her a visit. And because she lost the blade during the Purge, her worthiness is a moot point anyway.
Bo-Katan once wielded it during the heyday of the Empire, but the fact that it was given to her rather than earned in combat means she was never truly fit to rule in the eyes of some. By now we know that this weapon signifies the right to rule Mandalore and lead its people. Since its original appearance at the end of Season 1, the Darksaber has become increasingly central to the plot of The Mandalorian. He himself would have been too young to defend Mandalore, but the adults in his cohort failed their world. Din may feel this is another sin for which he has to atone. According to Bo-Katan, the Watch turned their backs on Mandalore and its people before the Empire’s Purge, leaving the planet that much less defended in its hour of need. Their conversation also reveals that Mando and his fanatical cohorts, the Children of the Watch, share their own part of the blame for Mandalore’s fate. She rules over nothing but an empty castle. Bo-Katan was leading her own faction in Season 2, but after once again failing to claim the Darksaber in honorable combat, she’s basically lost all support from her people. Mando’s reunion with Bo-Katan adds more insight into the current fractured state of the Mandalorian people. They bombard the planet with so much turbolaser fire that the soil itself melts and crystallizes. The Empire seems to have taken the same scorched earth approach to rebellious worlds as the Covenant in the Halo franchise. Mando has uncovered an artifact taken from Mandalore’s surface, one the Armorer fears is a sign the surface has been reduced to glass.
“The Apostate” digs even deeper into the Purge and the current state of this ruined world. We’ve seen glimpses of what Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan and Emily Swallow’s Armorer refer to as “The Purge.” At some point after Bo-Katan accepted the Darksaber from Sabine Wren in Star Wars Rebels, the Empire decimated Mandalore and left the planet’s surface a smoking ruin.
#HALO BATTLE FLEET RULES SERIES#
The Season 3 premiere builds on one of the fundamental themes of the series - the idea that the Mandalorians are still divided and homeless even years after the fall of the Empire. So you had better check this one out if you are a fan of Halo or space battles on the tabletop.7 Images Why Are the Mandalorians So Divided? At first glance this all sounds rather promising, and it’s always nice to see more high detailed ships make their way to the tabletop. Larger ships will also be divided into multiple sections making for more strategic options in attacking the vessels. The exploding dice mechanic has been confirmed for Halo Fleet Battles although there will be a cap on the number of rolls you can get. Close attention has been paid to the lore of Halo to ensure an accurate depiction of the events that transpire.īeing Spartan I believe the game will borrow from Firestorm Armada (which in my opinion is a good thing). The starter box is set in the Human-Covenant War, where the fleets battle for the fortified human colony of Reach. The Fall of Reach is a two player battle box which allows players to engage space battles between the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the Covenant.
