I truly love Katee Sackhoff as Bo Katan. She really does have a connection with her character.
Understandable after all the time spent playing Bo in TCW
@@Equinox_NZ wait she was the voice actor AND the live action actor, that's pretty rare
@@MariOmor1 yes
She's one of my favorite star wars actresses. She really does know that character. It's like in that interview. "Her pain is my pain."
Starbuck has come a long way from being that ace pilot on Battlestar.
I think Bo-Katan is being misread by a lot of people. I think what we are seeing in Chapter 18/19 is the birth of hope in Bo - not for herself, but possibly for her people. And I think she is trying to sort out if Din is actually the one who should lead. I think she put this to a test at some point, but I think Din will pass in her eyes and she will be supportive.
That's literally the same thing as this vid, worded slightly different.
Even if she decides to try and become a leader herself again, she might at least finally understand that keeping people at a distance has been self-defeating.
Yup, she's going to change her mindset from 'rightful ruler' to 'reluctant leader'.
Great people don't seek power, great people carry the burden.
She's about to be burdened by a true sense of belonging.
I really hate the idea of Din becoming the leader of Mandalorians but love the idea of Bo finally being good at it. I've always loved her character but Din is ok, he's barely a Mandalorian and blindly follows the creed. He's a badass sure but his character needs to undergo a lot of development still imo.
@@Capicu. boba fett>
So nice to see actors really caring about the character they play
It is. 😊
Unlike some people as of late.
@@elijahblechman8633 provide some examples?
@@eclipped maybe he is taking about Pedro Pascal? Maybe? I heard he was constantly complaining on set about wanting to take his helmet off so people would recognize him on screen and it would make him more popular as an actor, and if he doesn't take his helmet off, people won't care who the actor is - his logic.
I think he is a pretty good actor, even though it took me like midway to season 2 to stop think of his as the guy in Narcos tv show that was a player sleeping around with every girl he finds - although, I kinda think Mando would be that way if it wasn't for his religion, so it kinda works.
@@eclipped or maybe he is talking about Grogu, I've noticed Grogu has been showing his emotions less, maybe the actor is not trying as hard. It's probably hard to get a baby to act in the way you want then green screen over the baby.
The first thing I thought when I watched the scene where Bo Katan was welcomes into the covert was that she really wants friends. She spent so much time alone in her castle, abandoned by her compatriots after her failure to get the Darksaber, that she was actually eager to help Din when he needed her aid. Because then she would have the company of a fellow Mandalorian, for a little while at least. Then she willingly guided him to the living waters, despite her cynical view on the traditions of her people. Then she has a nigh-religious revelation by seeing the mythosaur. And _then_ she freely followed Din back to his covert when she didn't have to. I think she doesn't want to be _alone._ It's a very human experience, all things considered: she wants connection. She's got a lot to think about.
That's a really good take on it 👏
She freely follows him to the convert? What else is she going to do? Her home was blown up and there were TIEs sent from some mysterious enemy swarming on Kalevala.
She didn’t *freely* followed Din. She had no choice because of presumably Imperial Remnants chasing her.
@@nimay13 she has gauntlet fighter she can literally go anywhere or live in it.
@@chewy99. Sure, her castle was blown up. But she also had a ship of her own and could have gone anywhere she wanted to. She could have stayed in her ship when they arrived at the covert. She could have left to find her former compatriots and join them in the mercenary life, or lit off on her own. Instead, she went with Din and backed him up.
Ngl yeah I can't blame Bo Katan for wanting to find a new path in life instead of heing a leader. She's been doing it for several years and when it didn't pan out so well when she got the Darksaber it's tempting to just take the backseat and find someone else more fitting for the position.
She already didn't want the position when Sabine pushed it on her. She said it there very well, I had my chance and I failed. I believe that when she was first seen in Season 2 she had taken on the role simply because nobody else was even thinking about leading.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 she did want it but Dark Saber didn't belong to her in Rebels
I totally agree
Bae Katan*
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis no she didn't. You need to go back and watch it again. Sabine offers her the saber and Bo refuses it. She says, "I had my chance to lead and failed." Sabine eventually convinces her to take the saber and assume the roll but Bo did so very reluctantly. She realizes by season two of Mando that she can't take it again without winning it. That she has done that twice with disastrous results. The clip is right here on youtube where Sabine and the others first meet Bo and she refuses the saber and says the line I quoted. Go check it out.
Her acting behind the helmet was insane, you could literally feel what Katee Sackhoff just said passing in her mind.
Hollywood has never liked helmets, often letting warriors and knights fight without helmet so we can see their faces, and having astronauts with lights inside their helmets. The Mandalorian shows how well good actors can act and project subtle emotion despite never showing their faces. Spectacular acting skills, but also perhaps a refutation of some deeply entrenched Hollywood tropes.
Its amazing how their body language was being used too. Their stances and simple gestures show their intents just as well as their face would. Its quite cool
I’m confused as to why people didn’t see this tbh. Her conversation with Din after saving him spoke volumes, as did her keeping her helmet on after seeing the mythosaur.
More importantly she followed din to save him and then followed him back to his people, and didn’t really fight it when they welcomed her.
Also the bombing of her families palace leaving her truly homeless played a big part too
I guess it has to be spelled out for some. Maybe they were annoyed with the whole scientist story that they were not paying attention to those parts
@@Pepe_Le_Pew_Pew it wasn’t even annoying bro it was epic
@@Pepe_Le_Pew_Pew While I actually noticed this dilemma that Bo Katan has been through, I'm actually one of the people who feel annoyed with the scientist story. Why? Because it's TOO LONG and lterally split the episode into three segments. It's the combination of poor pacing and poor editing which left a lot of people dissatisfied.
Bos backstabbing everyone and we are set up for a nice power struggle between the Rook(the armorer) and Viszla. All 3 of them want it and din will need to pick a side as we've learned the last few episodes he's not up for it. He's weak and has terrible instincts.
Yeah but people need more hints and clues " etc to understand the plot and what's going on lol
I had similar thoughts about her not mentioning the mythosaur. I never took it as malicious intent, and instead of her trying to process what she saw. Like imagine you and a buddy go for a hike, and you see a Velociraptor for a few brief moments running through the forest, yet your buddy didn't see anything. I have no doubt that you would be questioning what you saw and debating on whether you should tell someone or not.
more like a former christian suddenly meeting jesus doing a sick back flips with zues and thor
@@commentlurker3874 most certainly not “more like” that lol😂
i would probably yell and freak out if i saw a dino in the woods 😅
yeah it's legit like seeing the Loch Ness monster
@@Uncivil_Dreamsit’s definitely more like their comment lol. Pretty sure anybody would freak out if they saw a dinosaur running through the woods
Just a run down of everything that’s happened in Bo Katan’s life up to this point:
-joined death watch presumably to preserve the warrior culture of mandalore/distance herself from her sister who was responsible for it’s erasure
-death watch ended up blindly serving maul. Who let’s be real, exploited Mandolorian culture to give him control of the planet and manipulated them into dying for him and his less than honorable cause.
- maul ended up killing her sister
- becomes queen regent after the republic finally arrests maul. Gets deposed immediately as soon as the empire rises
- finally reunites the people of mandalore to fight against the empire. We find out that at the end war mandalore gets completely wiped out.
I’m totally with Katie Sachoff on this, Bo is TIRED and she has been through so many attempts at trying to reshape/reclaim mandalore. And every single time, it just got immensely worse for her. So yeah, I can definitely see her giving the darksaber (and effectively, the throne) to someone else who seems more worthy
I’ve been rewatching clone wars and rebels episodes trying to piece together all the Bo Katan backstory. So thank you for this comment bc it really helps sum up her story. I agree she has been through A LOT and I believe she wants a clean slate. I think she believes in Din now and will stand by him as he becomes the new Mandalore. I don’t get all the haters, Bo is a complex character and I love that about her
@@hollyrue9001 yup, also people forget the dark saber prophecy and curse that it must be won in battle or else it will curse mandalore. The 2 times bo Katan had the dark saber(that she did not win in combat) mandalore was cursed twice, by maul, and then by the empire destroying the whole planet.
Bo Katan also saw the mythosaur making her realize all those religious stories were not some fake story for kids, but real. This makes her wonder if there is something to Mando and his cult. She knows there is something supernatural about mandalore with the dark saber curse and prophecy and mythosaur. She now wonders if there is a good reason the force has lead the dark saber to being put in mandos hands and his cult.
Bo Katan actually wanted to kill Mando too, very recently. When Grogu + droid landed at her castle she said "that's it Mando, i told you you would die if you came back here again, let's finish this once and for all" ......only for her to see a super very cute Grogu being driven by a droid with no Mando in sight while Grogu was about to cry. She realized Mando trusted his child to go to her to help him, and that even more surprising HE WENT TO MANDALORE when everybody told him it was impossible, proved the toxic gas myth was fake. She sees that Mando might make a good leader with his dedication and bravery to go back to mandalore, and that his true goal is to bring glory back to mandalore and unlike some of his cult members, Mando is willing to work with other clans for the common good of reviving mandalore.
I'm sure mandos cult will reject his idea to work with other clans to restore mandalore. Then Mando will talk about how he was the one who went to mandalore against all odds risking his life, he was the one who won the dark saber back in combat. Then bo Katan will mention the mythosaur pulled him down but then let him go, as oh he was a chosen one. Then a few cult members will call bullcrap and Mando will challenge them to a duel.
Mando will fight off maybe a dozen cultists with the dark saber before the armorer says enough. Mando is right. Our first and foremost goal is restoring mandalore, that comes before everything else, even if we must work with other clans to do so.
@@nicklibby3784 good points! And I hope your prediction is right. I’d really like to see Din wielding the dark saber with confidence and authority. I think he will as he starts to believe in himself.
Some people think Bo-Katan is going to double cross Din, that she isn’t sincere in joining Death Watch and is just biding her time. But I think the chemistry between them is real, and also at this point her character needs to learn to be a supportive partner instead of a leader.
I saw another comment predicting Paz Vizla will try to tame the Mythosaur when Bo finally reveals it exists. I foresee a rematch between him and Din, bc Vizla believes he should be the Mandalore, since a Vizla was indeed the one who created the dark saber to begin with. I’d like to see Paz control the beast, maybe by sedating or some other less honorable method. Then he challenges Din and Din has to fight him and the Mythosaur, and in the process actually tames the creature for real. This would really prove that he IS the true leader.
@@hollyrue9001 omg I completely forgot that Paz is a descendant of Visla that’s still running around! You know this reminds me of this fan theory I read around the time rebels was airing when they explained where the darksaber came from. Basically the theory was that Bo Katan and Pre Vizla (leader of death watch) were going to enter into a political marriage to unite the current royal family and the old royal family once they completed their take over of mandalore. Obviously it’s not confirmed, but it’s a damn effective way to get an entire planet on your side after you depose a government. I wonder if Paz would go down this desperate route of taking the throne by any means necessary (stealing the darksaber, controlling the mythosaur, trying to forcibly marry the person with the strongest claim to the throne currently) and we have this battle between the person who is thinks he’s entitled to rule, and the person who is actually worthy to rule
@@Jayk-kz7sh exactly! A civil war of sorts would take place, briefly we hope, as Paz and Din are both vying to be the Mandalore. It makes sense to me as a good plot bc meanwhile as they are vying for control the subplot can set up next seasons villain. I think it will be Thrawn, or a dark Ezra Bridger, and I’m sure the Ahsoka show will confirm for sure what the overall big bad of the MandoVerse is going to be.
*I have a theory that they should bring adult Ezra Bridger in as a dark side force user for Din and his allies to fight, and then eventually redeem him to the light side, a la Revan style. Regardless if it’s Ezra or not, I hope season 4 sets Din up to fight an actual Jedi/Sith bc that would be totally badass
The first two answers were more or less what I was thinking for her, but the third one makes me feel a bit better. I was afraid that she was having the beginnings of thinking about working her way back to being in charge and I didn't like that thought. The idea that she's tired and wants to let someone else take over actually sits better with me. I like her team-up dynamic with Din and was hoping that she wasn't going to become an antagonist over trying to take leadership back. (It does suck that we won't be seeing her face anymore if she remains with the creed though)
I will be rather relieved if they don't turn her into an antagonist for Din over the Dark Saber as I like the character and her actress too much to want to see her turned back into a villain. I think part of her role will be to convince the Watch that such slavish devotion to some of the customs might not be completely necessary. Not taking the helmet off around outsiders makes sense and is smart. Not taking it off around other Mandalorians is a bit silly.
The last ultra Orthodox cult she joined didn't pan out to well for her and I think it's quite clear that they are not the best group. The other 2 make sense though.
And nothing block her to help the next "leader"... she has experience and can be one the best right hand for any one who feel good to take this place... seeing her with Jin on the "Throne" with her like a guide, an advisor... is not a bad ending for his character.
@@macattack5863 I think the Children of The Watch have shown themselves to be much different from death watch though. They are not a violent bunch by Mandalorian standards, they seem to actually look out for inoccent people when they can and I think the scene where the Armorer "tested" the living water to show they were actually from the mines of mandalore, shows that there is some truth to what she is preaching. Star Wars is a universe where "magic" (the force) is real, so anything is possible.
They often say the person most deserving of power is the one who doesn't seek it. I really would not want Din to end up as the Mandalore leader. This could be a redemptive arc for her character, leading her to finally earning the throne.
Bo-Katan was abandoned by Mandalorians who believed Mandalore is truly lost. She is likely sad and wants to fit in with the Children of the Watch who are one of the only Mandalorian organizations who are ensuring that the Way of the Mandalore and the culture survive and remain intact. This is similar to how past Jedi and Sith react when they have nowhere to go after losing their connections with their former affiliations. An example would be how Lana Beniko (no matter the players' choices) remained in the Eternal Alliance and did not return to the Sith Empire because she finally found a home in the Alliance.
the Armorer welcomed her and said until she decided to leave she was one of them. The Armorer when she considered Din an apostate didn't show hatred towards him. She was just matter of fact and when he came back to explain his plan to find the living waters she listened and gave her blessing for him to try to find the waters
Omfg you all have this wrong 😂 she doesn't want to be part of the cult you clowns
I agree with you. I think the fact they truly seem to care about mandalorian culture amd preserving it is what makes her see them slightly differently. I think she was touched by mandos reverence for her father and was somewhat inspired by his devotion to what he sees as mandalorian. The night owls turned on her, and lilely were never so devoted to the culture as she was. Being a princess she was raised eith the idea it is important. Her being in desthwatch showed that. Even if she's jaded about it, i think that is her tendency. And probably where she is coming from with evolving positions of the children of the watch
@@therecalcitrantseditionist3613 you're completely wrong
I have always liked Bo Katan, but my gosh the Mandalorian's portrayal of her is so good that she is sky rocketing into one of my favorite Star Wars characters. Looking forward to seeing what more they do with a character that could have easily remained in the shadows.
I think the show did a good job of conveying what the actress "confirmed" as it did feel like that was what was happening.
i agree. idk why everyones been insisting shes the villain and will turn on Mando lol. sure it was a risk but its definitely not what the show is pointing towards at all
@michaeltoms4831 If anything, it seems like her and Mando are about to be a thing. I don't know how people are getting villain vibes
Can we just appreciate that Disney at least carried over one good character’s actor into live action
This all makes sense. She does better as a leaders right hand woman or executive officer. This is how we were ALL originally introduced to Bo in Clone Wars and it makes sense for her to come full circle and end up as Din’s right hand woman. Because Din is more mindful and caring, he needs a more ruthless partner to have his back. Bo is VERY attracted to male leaders and it shows. Over all its just good character development. It makes for great writing.
I don't know, wouldn't that be regression and not development?
@@Hello-bi1pm a character trying to change, only ti find out he was "perfect" as she was is actually a development, the realization you didn't need to change yourself in the first place, but to find a place where it's good to be yourself
A character that finds themselves better at being the right hand or executive officer is a unique individual. Bo is too impatient to lead…she definitely too brutal. To be the XO to Dins Commander gives her freedom to be herself. When we were all first introduced to Bo, she was a rough character. Kinda mean, and yes brutal. Makes a great defender. Bo whole story arc has always been about her learning that she is not the charismatic leader like the men she finds herself attracted to. Here in this story, instead of being leader she has the opportunity to teach and make Din the type of leader she could respect and follow. She becomes the secret and real power behind the throne.
@@letssamplethis7641you know isn't that funny because I've always thought her whole character arc was her learning to be a leader and to step out from her sisters shadow being a better leader than satine like when she told ahsoka at the end of clone wars she wished she was good at something other than war
@@wordlesslfiddling - Right, however, our first interaction with Bo in the Mandalorian was her being at? At War! War is all that Bo knows and she has to accept that. To right her arc to where she becomes a great leader is at best a “trope”. Too easy. Lazy writing. It’s what one would expect. I mean the writing team could go that way and it would be pretty typical. However what Katie said has given me real hope that the show runners and writers are more excited about putting a deeper and more complex character screen/stream.
It's nice to have this in words, but honestly another rewatch of Chapter 19 shows that all of those feelings were nicely portrayed in her acting (even with the helmet on!)
I hope there is more development in her character beyond just wanting to lead. It would be amazing seeing her as an advisor or strong support character because she is a very strong character but historically not cut out to lead
I know Bo-Katan's forces left her but it would be funny to imagine that they went on vacation day but forgot to tell Bo-Katan about it.
And when they come back, they see a destroyed Clan Kyrze castle.
Its always cool to get the actors/actresses take on how the character is feeling at certain points in the story,kinda gives you a small peak behind the curtain so to speak
Ya love to hear it. Katee’s awesome for this
I absolutely love that Katee Sackhoff was able to convey so precisely what Bo Katan was feeling even with a helmet covering her face. Credit to the director as well for giving us moments like Bo sitting silently, head down, waiting for Mando to wake up. It seemed obvious to me that Bo was *really* struggling with what to do with her discovery of the mythosaur and having her beliefs challenged like that. In the scene at the Covert, again the director and Katee give a great moment that reinforces Bo's struggle with what to do and believe - her reaction (almost shock, as if being startled) to being congratulated for taking the creed, immediately followed by that shot of the mythosaur skull symbol was *great* and again reinforces that she's been confronted with some pretty life altering information. Just great stuff all around.
glad they understand their own character (filoni and such, not just katie), cuz this is exactly what bo catan should be doing/feeling
She summed it up perfectly. I’ve always had a love and hate relationship with Bo-Katan because of what happened to Satine; however, I am starting to like the character even more in The Mandalorian.
The fact that the play makes us wonder about her motives, thoughts, intentions, generating different opinions speaks for itself. Great writing and show. The title of the episode is also symbolic - she's the one it speaks about.
She's one of the reasons I'm enjoying season 3 as much as I am. Maybe I'll watch a few episodes of BSG before Wednesday as well.
Why Wednesday? You should instead watch Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul instead of this...
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis What makes you say that they haven't watched them? Both shows are finished and super popular.
@@theokayishgamer idk, I just watched some shorts with Breaking Bad vs *something* and I became racist now towards Netflix tv shows (except Daredevil which I absolutely loved) and I'll call them trash without watching any of them
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis Huh?
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis so you are someone without criteria, good for you
Well it shows that Katie has made this character her own and developed enough connection with her that she could have her own show
She should get a spin off
I think Disney should wrap up existing Skywalker Era stories and set off on a new era instead of continuing to milk this skinny cow. The Skywalker Era has more than 40 years of writing mixed in with plenty of plot holes, inconsistencies, and bad and illogical choices. Setting off on anew era of Star Wars say 1000 years in the past allow for making a single storyline without in betweenquels and Prequels clouding the mind. The Mandalorian is an inbetweenquel that really could have occurred at any time is Star Wars history with minor changes.
@@granatmof i’d rather have more future stories, the past ones would only lead up to the OT and everything else, they just have to avoid another mishap like the sequels
I like to hear that, it show's she is evolving in a good way...not greedy for power and/or manipulation!
I commented it on another video, but I SO called it that she was still trying to process what she saw! It makes sense that she was more skeptical of the more, pardon the pun, mythical side of her culture. It would still persist even upon seeing the real thing in person. Initially anyway. And I'm kind of glad Bo's kind of taking a back seat to her previous ambitions. She's lost so much that it's a good point to re evaluate her place in the grand scheme of things, and it's a nice start to feel accepted as part of something larger again!
Bos not taking a back seat at all.
This take was terrible. She wants to lead and she will make a play at leading. Her issue is Rook(the armorer) and Viszla also want to lead. Din will have to pick a side, he's a shit character and no one will follow him as leader.
@@mattwaf L take
I love that the actress seems to love her character so much and is so passionate about her.
She's been playing this character since season 2 of the clone wars so that's over 10 years at this point.
The girl has fought in like threeish war's and failed to lead her people twice. I'm surprised she's still sane.
Father died ruling Mandalore, Sister died ruling Mandalore, she ruled Mandalore for two brief periods I think she's had enough.
While I agree with the idea that’s she’s a good leader
The fact does remain clear that under her watch three major power shifts and equal part catastrophes have occurred and costing her everything she’s done (good and bad) to be essentially baptized and reborn and being welcomed by a new family almost immediately is really a fresh start she doesn’t deserve but needed more than anything
I actually saw those emotions playing in her silence and body language, so I'm not surprised to hear it confirmed.
She has lost everything which puts her on the cusp of a major change in her destiny.
It's amazing that Katie is so open to give us more lore about Bo Katan and I love it
One of the best casting decisions they have made.
Perfect for the part.
It makes the arc all the more intriguing (I mean, a lot of what she said is something that a lot of us have talked about on various platforms) The only new bit of information really is that last part of hoping someone else steps up with the responsibility. By not seeking leadership & by having her belief systems challenged, the character becomes less one-note & a lot more complex when it comes to the question of faith & 'who am I in this world.'
From out of context, Bo-Katan accidentally joined the cult where Din Djarin hailed from.
It's like if they ask you in RPG if you want to join the Guild and you skipped dialogues so you accidentally pressed yes
I love it when an actor/actress love the character they're playing it makes the show so much better.
Love her responses and thoughtfulness to her acting. Looking forward to seeing her character develop.
I mean, these seem like pretty standard answers that CAN be interpreted by what we've been given already. It just seems like most fans choose not to see it that way when given the info by the show itself. Motives being simple and without subterfuge isn't dramatic enough to spark most peoples interest but can still have significant, if understated, plot impact.
Quick Edit: The part that stuck out to me was her saying she was tempted to invite Din back home for a feast post-Mandalore after being ready to tell him off earlier when she thought he was coming around again to bug her at her ...estate Pre-Mandalore.
This is the arc I was hoping for, but didn't think we would get. Super excited for the next "real" episode of Mando!
I actually teared up a bit when she was welcomed into the group.
These responses feel very real and "human." Fits the character well for all she's been through.
I'll never tire of watching Katee Sackhoff act, her characters always have such a fascinating dark edge to them 👍
I want this from Bo Katan. She started to become more of a hero like character, or anti-hero, and I don't want to see her be antagonist toward Din.
She is just amazing. Her insightful answers to those questions proves her top-tier quality of an actress!!!!
That's the exact same I thought about in recent events with bo. After everything she pretty much got tired of ruling mandalore and attempting for a 2nd time only for her house to be bombed and nowhere else to retreat except for other mandalorian tribes so yeah maybe a different perspective will sorta help her.
Btw her character with the hair down looks very much attractive and good looking
Katee Sackhoff is a real treasure of the sci-fi genre.
She cares about her characters, she cares about her fans, and she cares about what her fans think of her characters.
you can always tell how serious she takes her job, and if everyone in Hollywood were as dedicated as she has been i am sure we would be in the middle of a sci-fi golden age right now.
It's good writing honestly, star wars has had a problem *coughsequelscough* with static characters that either don't mature or grow at all or just pull a complete change in their personality with no reason so seeing her change and develop with her story and the world feels really good.
Grogu the next ruler of Mando'lore!
She has an excellent understanding of her character. Great actress
She is such a great actress and utterly perfect in the role. Such a great choice to have continuity of her between animation and live action, too.
It really helps knowing this declarations for sure.
Bo-Katan is everything less simple, easy to read.
Katee has always been insightful and fully invested in her characters.
You can tell how passionate she is about Bo. I really hope she survives and leads Mandalore into the future! Her character has earned that much
And as it turned out during the ragnar episode, she tried to just fit in but she's a natural leader and everyone soon realised that and followed in awe.
I knew I should’ve waited until the season to be complete to binge all the episodes, now I’m here waiting every week for Wednesday to watch a new one, it’s really good so far
It's amazing when a Actor/Actress understand the carachter s/he are portraying.
imm just say that Bo Katan has been my favorite part of season 3, I really love her character and am really interested in how she's gonna develop through this story
Oh dang, I guess this might hints that she’s not going to be an antagonist for Season 3 since we saw the first three episodes of what we saw Bo-Katan had lost hope of reclaiming Mandalore herself.
Pretty much what came to my mind! I wasn’t sure about the Dark Saber. It could’ve been it was against the rules for her to take it (unlikely), but then I thought she’s simply keeping quiet about it and not wanting to tell Din Djarin about it. I found it interesting.🤔😄
The best thing is that it means that the actor really understands the character, and is on board with how the character is being handled, which can't be said for any actor from the sequel series.
I'm really impressed with the level of writing so far this season. I think it's a real step up so far from the first 2 and I hope it continues!
Bro this is the worst season so far, terrible acting, bad script, the only thing going for it is the visuals
Finally, I've been getting more and more upset at reactors over Bo, lol I never thought she was hiding the Mythosaur from Dinn. Wouldn't surprise me if she has a private meeting with Dinn and the Armoror soon(after she works up some courage), and that brick house of a Mandalorian Paz overhears Bo telling Dinn and the Armoror about the mythosaur, and that ambitious ass tries to sneak off and tame it with a group of minions. Paz is the Bad egg. lol
Bo is just confused and traumatized.
My guess is that The Armorer is a bad egg, while Paz wears his heart on his sleeve. But I'm excited for where the story goes either way!
You can tell she felt a sense of pride witnessing Din reclaim his honor for his "hokey religion" then seeing the mythosaur, its akin to witnessing an act of God, miracle, religious experience. Which is why I think she didn't just rip off her helmet after saving Din, nor took it off on the ship. Then, her home, her old way of life, being set ablaze again by the empire, may have seemed like another sign for her. Culminating to her being accepted (sans Visla who may have doubts because of history) may be her truly becoming to believe in the Way again
The episode that came out yesterday also explored this idea of her leading/ reclaiming mandalore.
Been saying this for a while. Not sure why so many people are convinced she wants to be Mandalore when she never really wanted that role to begin with, and only took it out of necessity.
Cool, she's really well-spoken with this.
She is one of the few actors who actually care about their character
I love you even more now that the show is called”the Mandalorian” because it’s not just about Din, this season feels like it’s shifting is focus towards Bo, also Mandalorian. It’s great because we can keep getting fantastic stories about Mandalorians
I'd love to see her chill with the watch
I'll be honest, all these answers can be picked up by watching the series. Especially about not wanting to lead anymore, shown by her being alone in her throne room saying everybody left and how silent she was when being accepted despite never taking an oath or something like that... Katee Sackhoff knows how to act in those scenes without and with her helmet on.
The first two I got from watching the show for the most part, the third was new and it makes a lot of sense. Parts of it were implied, but I never thought of it all together like that
Was nice to see Bo-Katan wield the Darksaber so effortlessly😊
This is true feminism, no staunchey, ridiculously high bar for a character, a female character that doesnt belittle her male cohorts but still hold her own, even in Clone Wars she needed to prove herself as a capable leader against Maul's insurrectionists. Bo is truly a well written female character, magnificently adapted, though she may not be a lead, you could definitely see her in a series of her own. The fact that her character plays on the same rulesets now (like not showing the face of the actress) plays a big part of subtext in the creative industry choices we see nowadays.
Well fking done John Fav, Dave Fil. Saviours of Star Wars.
It’s almost a case study in the power of body language that we can read so much from the Mandalorian characters with their helmets on
Damn, I love actors/actress who know who or what character they're dealing with.
I agree. Many UA-camrs seem to think that she has a nefarious plot working, but I think she’s having a life changing experience.
I was thinking along the same line. When Bo Katan saw the Mythasaur it shattered everything she believed. Hence, she is just trying to keep herself together. So, yeah. I pretty much agree with just about everything you said here. We shall see where the writers and Disney take this.
Absolutely love that woman. She's incredible in everything she does.
Those are refreshingly surprising responses. It’s really nice to see such unexpected complexity with that character. I did not think that’s where they were going with her, and I really like the ambiguity.
This was my assessment of her too, I think that comes across pretty clearly. I anticipate more exploration in upcoming episodes to solidify these ideas.
i wish there will be a scene where bo talks to the armorer just two of them, obviously the armorer used to be a member of the deathwatch her helmet says so, maybe we can get a flashback or learn more or even armorer real identity
Yeah that was the same sense I got from the show as well. Not saying she might not eventually turn on Din and try take over again at some point, but I think right now Bo is totally lost and doesn't know where she belongs and in Din, and now perhaps the Mandalorian clan, are acting is a bit of an anchor for her again, linking her back to the very core of what she used to believe.
It will be fascinating to see what her happens with her character.
The actress did not give anything away. Everything that she said were my takeaways from the last two episodes.
Bo-Katan believes in everything in the Creed surrounding Dark Saber, which is why she did not accept it in Chapter 16.
Deep down Bo-Katan appears to believe that Din Djarin is destined to unite all Mandalorians and lead them as Manda’lore.
This was such a great episode
Very professional and insightful good answers
This info was very interesting. Thanks, Katee Sackhoff!
I'm loving all the Mandalorians we're seeing and really hope Sabine shows up soon I'm dying to see her and don't want to have to wait until the Ahsoka series 🙏😔
Kateee is so awesome and cool, one of my fave actors
I am just glad she cares about her character so much
Bo-Katan is the most fascinating character so far in Season 3. Katee has stepped up her acting game. The writers have noticed and have given her character a more prominent role in the series. GOOD!
I am actually wishing that Din and her get together as they are both alone and work well together. I noticed how she is intrigued by his nobility when he bathed in full armor in the same way she did when she was young.
20+ years and the princess finally grows up.
It really shiws how much Katee cares about the character too. She’s completely invested
What was said by the actress was what I thought while watching, love it.
Katee Sackhoff is an absolute pro! She is clearly reveling in paying Bo Katan again and it shows in her interviews, as well as her acting. I have to say, she's a joy to watch. Her answers are always considered and careful but you can't lose sight of who she is she is working for. Namely, Dave Filoni. Katee has been misdirected by Dave in the past ("Plo Koon?") but she is also in the camp of knowing what she can and cannot say in public. I wouldn't put it past her to have a publicity script to fall back on when she is not sure what to say, or knows that there is a trap in the questions she is being asked. That script will have been agreed with Dave Filoni.
I love this explanation far better than other ones I've seen. The theory that bo katan is hiding the truth wants to use the mythosaur to reclaim mandalore is backtracking her character. I was starting to hate how much she wanted to lead and seeing now her being accepted brings a smile to my face
She's been Bo-Katan for a long time, so she knows exactly how she should feel.
Easily one of my favorite characters, great design, great actress, great story
Katee will always be in my heart for being Starbuck!!!!
