Let's Talk About Bo Katan Taking that Helmet Off
so a lot of you are probably questioning why the armorer forced mando to go to poisonous mandalore and dunk his head into the water beneath the mines in order to be redeemed while she lets bo take her helmet off and just do as she pleases? Well, the reasoning still may have you roll your eyes, but there is a reason so let’s discuss it. Back in season 1 the armorer spoke of a new era that would come to be when a mandalorian rides a mythosaur, the long extinct creature, or thought to be extinct. The armorer mentions this would be the dawn of a new day, and a time where mandalorians would unite under one new clan. Whoever tames a mythosaur, shall claim this honor. I feel now that Bo Katan has seen a mythosaur, the armorer feels she is the chosen one, and we get a jedi council sort of thing where they believe in their prophecy that would foretell a new age of mandalorians. This is also what she mentions to bo at the end of episode 5 season 3. Bo Katan has walked as a death watch member, a nite owl member after that, and now as a member of the children of the watch. She is now tasked with going around the galaxy and finding other mandalorians, bringing them back to navarro 7, and uniting them all under her watch.
Bo-Katan's ultimate goal is to unite all of the Mandalorian clans under one banner and to restore the ancient way of life that the Mandalorians once enjoyed. She believes that this can only be accomplished through a combination of military might, diplomacy, and strong leadership.
In order to unite all of the Mandalorian clans, Bo-Katan will likely need to continue to build alliances and gain the support of other influential Mandalorian leaders. She may also need to overcome any internal divisions within the Mandalorian culture and find a way to reconcile different factions.
Ultimately, Bo-Katan's success in uniting all of the Mandalorian clans will depend on her ability to inspire others with her vision, and to lead by example. It will also require a willingness to compromise and negotiate with other groups, while staying true to the core values and traditions of the Mandalorian people.
I think there will now be a major power shift here as Bo Katan is the bridge between the different mandalorian tribes. She told Mando that her tribe of nite owls and mandalorians are making their way through the galaxy as mercenaries. I think she’s now going to go and find those mercenaries and convert them. My question is, what is she going to tell them…that she saw a mythosaur and all of a sudden everyone will be entranced to join her? It’s going to be difficult to convince everyone to join her cause, however I think the purpose here is to just get as many willing mandos as she can to increase their collective, and her new way of old and new.
I think it’ll be difficult also for many other mandalorians to accept her now that she’s removed her helmet. I think many may even question the armorer’s ability to lead them after allowing such a thing. This could cause civil war where those loyal will fight for her and the rest will scamper off making their own new faction, a splinter group, much like death watch. The other issue here is that she may come across moff gideon and the mandalorians who work for him, as she may try to convert them to her cause when she is captured by him and forced to reveal the location of the others. This could end very badly for the armorer and her clan. Din may require the help from someone else, such as Boba, or even a force sensitive to supplement his fight.
