Now that Din Djarin is theoretically in charge of the entire race, will he be able to unite the various clans and sects of Mandalorians into a united front? Will Mandalore join the New Republic? Granted, most of the various sects of Mandalorians weren't really getting along at that point, but the larger concept remains: The planet Mandalore was a strategic asset in the Clone Wars, and it stands to reason that after the Empire fell, the same thing was true. Hypothetically, if Mandalore had sided with the Old Republic sooner and united its warriors against the Separatists, you can imagine a different outcome to the Clone Wars. With Maul, this worked, with the Empire, it didn't. These Mandalorians (including Bo-Katan) never formally joined forces with the Republic, but they did fight to try and keep Darth Maul's Shadow Collective (and the Empire) off their planet.
At the time, Mandalore was officially a peaceful planet, but as we learned in The Clone Wars, there was still a ton of different Mandalorian warriors hanging around. The impact of this on the Clone Wars was significant enough that Obi-Wan Kenobi tried very hard to get the Mandalorians to join the Republic to stop the Separatists from winning. In The Clone Wars era, the planet Mandalore declared itself neutral in the war between the Republic and the Separatists. Mandalorians on Mandalore during The Clone Wars. How Mandalore fit into The Manalorian Season 3? Even before Starkiller Base destroys the seat of the Republic in the Hosnian System, Leia had already been forced underground in order to begin her secret Resistance.īut how did things get that bad? It seems possible the New Republic didn't do a great job uniting the galaxy. Eventually, the New Republic will grow weak and ineffective, allowing the First Order to wreck the galaxy. Everything about the New Republic's efforts to maintain order in the Outer Rim of the galaxy scans as futile throughout the series, and Star Wars fans know the writing is pretty much on the wall from the outset. But inherent in the familiar Empire Versus Republic status-quo is the knowledge that none of this will last. In Mando, we mostly see the galaxy in a kind of honeymoon phase following the defeat of the Empire in Return of the Jedi. In between the time of The Mandalorian (9 ABY) and The Force Awakens (34 ABY) the politics of the galaxy shift radically.
In short, Mando's possible new role as the ruler of Mandalore could fix some huge plot holes. And if that happens, The Mandalorian could be poised to repair some wonky world-building from The Force Awakens and the rest of the sequels (not the mention those terrible space politics in the prequels). Instead of being just focused on the knowledge Mando has as a Bounty Hunter, the scope of the show could encompass the political machinations of the entire galaxy. If Din Djarin does become the ruler of Mandalore, a hypothetical Mandalorian Season 3 could completely change the point-of-view of the entire series. But, what does this big power shift mean for the further adventures of The Mandalorian? Assuming we get a Season 3 of Mando, and The Book of Boba Fettis just it's own thing, then Din Djarin may have just entered the most treacherous of all Star Wars worlds: Space Politics! Suddenly, Din Djarin himself is poised to become the true ruler of the Mandalorians, mostly because he accidentally won the Darksaber in a fight he was trying to avoid. Mando is our King! In the finale of The Mandalorian Season 2, the heir to the throne of the planet Mandalore is weirdly, no longer Bo-Katan.
