I also think its interesting that since we in the last episode we saw the magistrate block Ahsoka’s lightsabers with the beskar spear it’s very likely that Din will use it to fight Gideon and the darksaber.
I think he lost his rifle too. I think it was on the Razor Crest.
I was thinking it would be Bo-Katan who would fight Gideon. It would make sense for her to “win” the Darksaber from him, instead of having it given to her, if she is to rule Mandalore. But then again, she seems almost maniacally fanatic about it. Is she the right one to lead Mandalore? Has she changed somewhat? Could she become a villain of sorts? There’s just so many directions they could go with everything.
That reminds me of something else that occurred to me about Bo-Katan: are the “Children of the Watch” somehow connected to Death Watch? They obviously couldn’t be the exact same (since Death Watch members take their helmets off), but it would explain a lot about the way she describes them.
