As they do this, the floating assisstant droid goes rogue and tries to laser melt them all down, until Din takes out his dark saber and slices it in half. Nice to see it being used for once. He’s still super slow nad heavy with it, clearly not having found it’s way of movement like Bo Katan.
They analyze the sample on the computer, and realize theirs a chain code in the actual napenthe along with nano bots. The chain code says it’s originally manufactured by the techno union, if you remember them the leader was Watt Tambor from the prequels, during the clone wars he worked with count dooku. Anakin ended up slicing him up with his lightsaber on mustafar. The man who ordered this napenthe was the head of security, commissioner Helgait.
Bo and Din tell him the jig is up, and they know he did it, so he threatens to hit the big red button which isn’t a failsafe to shut off all droids, it’s a switch to return all droids back to their battle droid state. He’s revealed as a separatists who supports Count Dooku, calling him a visionary, and as he’s about to mention Anakin Skywalker having killed count dooku, bo katan zaps him and he falls over. They take him to the royalty jack black and lizzo, and he first insults them, then turns a 180 on Lizzo and apologizes asking for forgiveness. The entire mission is over, and we spent 30 minutes on it when we have only 3 episodes left, now technically just 2. They get the key to plazir 15 and are now in the good graces of the planet forever.
Grogu is also knighted. Seems like he’s a mandalorian, jedi, knight.
Bo and Din head to see Axe Woves and she’s nervous as she thinks her clan are now loyal to him. She walks up to him and his clan as they have a back and forth as she states she comes to claim her fleet. Axe Woves won’t step down, so she challenges him to a trial by combat. He accepts, they fight, and Bo wins. He tells her Din is the one she should challenge to take the dark saber from. She tries to tell them all that mandalorians are stronger together. Axe Woves says Mando is a zealot and she walks with him, he’s not got a drop of mandalorian blood. So here we can clearly see the difference in mandalorian sects here. Din Djarin wasn’t born on Mandalore or born from Mandalorian parents, and for this reason Axe Woves deems him unworthy. It’s the typical differences and petty fighting between mandalorian sects. Bo defents him and says he took the creed just like the ancestors, before the nite owls and Axe Woves strayed into their own way. Axe mentions that he has the dark saber, and Mando offers it to her, telling them that according to their rules, she does own it, since when he was on mandalore, he was beaten by the grievous droid thing, who then was beaten by Bo Katan, technically making the dark saber belong to Bo. IT’s a win on a technicality, but it’s super lame in my opinion because there’s no way that droid thing was going to rule mandalore with the blade. He didn’t even know what it was nor did he pay attention to it. Anyways, technically, it is hers, so Axe agrees and everyone straightens up, showing us that they are immediately respectful to her and recognize her as their leader. Now she will bring them back with her to Nevarro, where I think Moff Gideon and the empire will probably see his ship parked there, tracking it, and show up, causing all sorts of problems for Mando. I think the jedi to appear if there will be one, will be Ahsoka, leading us into the Ahsoka show.
So now Bo contols Mandalore and Mandalorians. This leaves me questioning the mythosaur…is she actually going to tame it…or is saying you saw one enough to be the bridge of all mandalorians? That’d be kind of lame if so.
