  • The Darksaber is the perfect symbol of everything wrong with Mandalorian culture for the past few thousand years. It's a symbol that places value on death, destruction, blind adherence to authority. Just take a look at the people who have pursued the darksaber over the years, from Pre-vizsla to Maul to even Moff Gideon. All of these individual would cause great harm to Mandalore. As a matter of fact the only people truly fit to lead Mandalore are individuals Bo-katan and Din Djarin who both have be hesitant to bear this weapon. With the weapon now destroyed thanks to Moff Gideon the Mandalorians are finally free of this curse.

      The sword belongs with the Jedi. It was a Jedi weapon made by someone who was Jedi before leaving and clearly, Tarre Vizsla trusted the Jedi counsel more than the Mandalorians to keep the darksaber in good hands before the sacking of the temple by the Vizslas.

    Tarre Vizsla was a Jedi and Mandalorian leader who united his people during times of conflict. He did this to protect his people by uniting them to prevent any more divisions and wars that will destroy their culture and people. However, Tarre Viszla is a Jedi at heart, a peacekeeper. He died a Jedi and his Darksaber was kept in the Jedi Temple in his honor. However, House Viszla would one time raid the Jedi Temple and steal his Darksaber, believing it to be the symbol of power and unity. What House Viszla got wrong was that Tarre Viszla's leadership, peacekeeping skills, and courage is what united Mandalore. Not the Darksaber. This heavy misconception in the Darksaber culture led to many Mandalorians desiring it by killing or defeating its previous user. This constant cycle caused Mandalore to stray away from Tarre Viszla's teachings in favor of self-interest. The endless Darksaber claim wars gradually destroyed Mandalore and left the world barren and lifeless. Many Mandalorians believed that one who didn't properly earn the Darksaber will bring Mandalore to ruin. This idea is heretical and prideful as the Mandalorians are left blinded that it is their hubris that caused Mandalore's destruction, not how the Darksaber is claimed. Mandalorians must escape the cycle and learn to believe in themselves and other Mandalorians. They must learn how to stop needless violence and regain honor as well as rediscover the teachings of Tarre Viszla, the Jedi peacekeeper of Mandalore. Therefore, the destruction of the Darksaber symbolizes the end of the cycle and that Mandalorian unity is what makes Mandalorians strong, not trinkets like the Darksaber. It is the person, not the object who can change society for the better. It will be ironic if House Viszla had the assistance of the Sith Empire or one of many Sith Empires (Lucas did say there were many) to help steal the Darksaber from the Jedi Temple. Joining the literal devils of Star Wars in stealing the Darksaber just shows how House Viszla fell from grace. Paz Viszla's sacrifice is meaningful because he is what a Viszla should've been. Caring, courageous, and selfless. Paz Viszla is like Tarre Viszla returned as if the former Mandalorian Jedi came back to give Mandalore one final push to salvation. The Mythosaur is a rare creature but might be a very wise and intelligent one. The Mythosaur likely saw Mandalore's depravity and left. It will return once Mandalore regains its lost honor. This is the way. For Mandalore!!!

      And all this is not new concept for Mandalore. Bo-Katan's sister, Satine, thought She can end this cycle of constsnt fighting, but her approach was also somewhat extremist - pacifism is not a good wayto follow if there is galactic war nearby.

    • @ertymexx
      @ertymexx Рік тому +1

      That is because mandalorians are stupid. They are so into tradition that they completely miss the point. Seeing a mythosaur was more important than the realisation that their planet wasn't toxic. Who had the darksaber was more important than who could or would actually lead. It became outright nonsensical when Gideon had it (whom they should follow, according to their own traditions), or when Din had it, but refused to even try to lead. They are too stuck in symbolism and doing things "the old way" rather than move on and be pragmatic. So classical warrior culture. 😛

    I pretty much thought the exact same thing when i saw that happen. Yes, the Dark Saber is an awesome and unique lightsaber, with a heck of a lot of historical significance to the Mandalorian people. But culturally and politically, that damned blade has been a curse hanging around their necks for generations, ever since it was looted from the Jedi temple. Moff Gideon unwittingly did the Mandalorians a favour when he crushed it.
    And this wasn't Gideon being stupid, he genuinely believed that crushing the Dark Saber like that would break Bo-Katan's will to fight. And even just a month previous, maybe it would have; but Bo-Katan had further changed and grown since their last meeting, while he had not.

    • @koliszmark9588

      The blade was cursed because it was stolen from a Jedi temple, where it more or less was its resting place... and no one who wielded it after that was a Mandalorian (whether by birth or one who took creed) and a forceuser at the same time... if it is destroyed or just broken we'll find out next season or even further into the mandovers...i believe if someone who wields the force and is a Mandalorian can rebuild the blade and break the curse...and yes i would love for Din Grogu to build his first blade from the rest of it... because why not :D

    Agreed. I like the direction they went with in the finale. Some of it seemed a little to old James Bond with the epic sky battle of jet packs but it feels like they finished one set of stories and are ready to move on. I for one am excited to see where we go from here.

    Paz might not have been able to fly away.
    It was established earlier in the season the Bo-Katan, the Night Owls and by extension the Mercenaries had much higher tech equipment than the Children of The Watch Covert. This was said by the Armorer when she repaired Bo-Katans armor, she did the best she could with the material and supplies she had but she had limitations. Some of the members of the Covert don't even have full durasteel armor, such as the one with only a partial helmet. So Ax Woves haveing a jetpack that could pull more G's and still last longer didn't seem odd to me. Not all Mandalorian gadgets and armor are made equal.
    Additionally the Mandalorians versus Imperial Remnant Super Commandos. The Imperials haven't practiced in that armor with those weapons their whole life. The Mandalorians not only have, they also know the weaknesses of their own armor. Once they knew the Imperials had Beskar armor most stopped going for center of mass and head shots and started going for the joints between plates.

Which is why I like Shaq 😂 apparently he doesn’t give his kids much, and he said when they were young he would tell them they are not rich just because he is. They have to earn it like he did.

    Another great video man. Between your knowledge on the setting, analysis of it through various lenses, and excellent sense of humor, this has become my favorite Star Wars channel. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this, especially when you do it despite being sick and such.
    I have one question, possibly gripe, about this video though. Specifically about Paz. Yes, he COULD HAVE flown away after beating the commandos and not died to the red armored purple stick handlers. But I think the point of him staying back in the first place, and continuing to fight on even as his gun overheated... and likely melted together... was to give the others as much time as possible by keeping the focus on himself. I agree that the desire to do so was almost guaranteed to be, at least in part, due to his ideology. But selling your life as dearly as you can for your brothers in arms, for civilians, or for any other people who you want to give any and all chance to live, has been something that warriors have done for all of time. And is not a shameful or stupid thing in and of itself. It's also not something most people are even capable of, especially not in this day and age. It takes an above and beyond sense of duty and a loyalty to chose death, so that others may live. Especially when one isn't told to do so, and or indoctrinated into it, like the Jedi often seem to be.
    But regardless of my view on this, I can still see where you were coming from on it. And again, thanks for another awesome video. FOR THE REPUBLIC!

    I'm sure many people have pointed out by now, but Paz Vizla could not just fly away. As he was making his stand, it is reasonable to assume his jetpack was using the same power battery as his minigun. As we see the minigun very much overheat, we see his jetpack overheat at the same time. By the time he was facing the early Praetorian Guards, his jetpack was already broken leaving him to his fate. Why is it always the heavy gunners in Star Wars that make the most glorious last stand?

    • @ForestRaptor
      @ForestRaptor Рік тому +3

      Indeed you are correct. The jetpack keeps sparking untill the praetorians make their entrances. And heavy gunners are masters of punishment... the only problem is they usually are left in a very vulnerable state when their opponents can outmanoeuvre them T-T
