- The Darksaber is a symbol of Mandalorian leadership and so its history is intertwined with the history of Mandalore. Today we take a look at the complicated ownership of this weapon and the many individuals who have laid claim to it.

Strange warriors lying in pools of the vanquished's blood stealing swords is no basis for a system of government.
*cough* *cough* Japan
Some watery tart 🤣
I think you just described how every government was formed
I like the Monty python reference
This is the Way.
I love how Din just doesn’t want anything to with the Darksaber and the Darksaber doesn’t want anything to do with him. Din is just like I just want to be a single father and travel the world

Use quotation marks for dialogue please, it took me several minutes to figure out what you were trying to say.

Mandalorians do whatever they feel like. Sounds like a union job. lol
Darksaber < Mandalore's Mask
One is a symbol of the history of the clans and of how the Mandalorians have evolved over time while still honoring their past traditions, the other is a symbol of a people who never got over losing to the Jedi in the Mandalorian wars (in my opinion at least)
I think you might have your symbols inverted here? Are you saying Darksaber is Yay and Mandalore's Mask is nay?
I like the mask but u can’t slice someone into piece with a mask
Su,cuy gar Mando’ade! The EU is way better. Too bad Revan hid the mask.
It's not stupid to have a symbol of leadership. The problem arises when you use ownership of it as the means of gaining leadership. Scepters and crowns have been used for almost as long as humanity has been a thing and it worked out pretty good.
The scepter and crowns weren't the same as the dark saber though, possessing them didn't suddenly give you leadership, you gained leadership through other means. But I agree symbols of leadership are always there, we have the white house in the US.
I’m willing to bet that there have been times where a crown or such being stolen has unnecessarily brought the legitimacy of someone’s leadership into question, because *to* *much* value was placed on the item itself rather than being seen as a mere symbol of the position being held.
@@kratal122 China is probably has the most famous symbol of leadership. The first imperial seal of the Qin dynasty or the physical "Mandate of Heaven" was used by each dynasty of China until it was lost. The ruling dynasty was recognized as the one who had the seal while others are considered by historians to be other factions. There is an example of one dynasty getting the seal while they were still weak and was instantly attacked and destroyed by all other factions. While the seal is currently missing if it reappears it could kick off another war between China and Taiwan
@@persona189blank6, I mean, I don't think anyone in China really gives a damn about the Mandate of Heaven anymore. Both current governments (the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China) were specifically created out of a rejection of the old Imperial system. If that seal you're talking about was found, both sides would likely still want to get it as a way of mocking the other, but they're not really gonna use it as a claim of legitimacy as they both claim to be the legitimate government of China.
Right. I've said it before. The Darksaber is something you should get AFTER becoming Mand'alor, not BEFORE. As to how to actually become Mand'alor, I'm of the opinion that that should be an elected position.
I predict Grogu will befriend and ride the Mythosaur, then wield the Darksaber, then he will lead the Mandalorians for then next couple of centuries.
Grogu is _The Mandalorian_ for which the show is named.
I have to agree with some other comments. Having a symbol of leadership, like a crown or scepter, is fine. It only becomes an issue when the right to rule comes from possession of the object. It has to be done the other way around. You get the Darksaber because you're the leader, not you're the leader because you have the Darksaber.
THANK YOU. This is what I've been saying this entire f*cking time!
Well, exactly. Seems obvious
this channel should have way more followers , great work keep it up
“Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.” Peasant from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Emperor is the true wielder he was the last to defeat the true owner and not someone that just took it
Facts
wouldn't vader be the last true owner then theoretically?
@@mikagrof9243 he didnt FIGHT him nor did he won ever he killed him which costed him his life too soo nope
@@mertc8050 I'd say he did fight him in a sense and win, the whole who is the rightful "heir" to the darksaber thing is a big mess anyway.
@@mikagrof9243 imagine Vader with the dark saber and not red…
Before Mandalore's mask, it was Mythosouar Battleaxies that acted as regalia for Taung leaders
There is a minor but important point that most either miss or don't know about the Dark Saber is that from the time it was taken from the Jedi temple to the time of Maul possessing it the saber was used to choose the leader of clan Vizsla only not the Mandalore. Maul changed that and made it "tradition" for wining the saber in combat to becoming the Mandalore.
Also two stupid things about Darksaber ownership:
Din recieved darksaber just from beating Gideon, not challenging him to.
With that logic implied Maul was beaten by Sidious, Kenobi and Ahsoka too, does that mean they're rulers too? Since Luke killed Sidious, and is a Vader's heir, who killed Obi Wan, should he also apply for a position of Mand'alor?
And since that cyborg has defeaten Din, and took his saber, after which Bo Katan took his saber and defeated the cyborg shouldn't she earn the saber?
Like come on, nothing makes sense anymore.
Using Harry Potter rules wouldn’t Vader have been the Mandalore since he killed Sidious?
As a Mandalorian fan (since the SW:KotOR media and beyond) I 100% agree with you. The Dark Saber is the coolest not worth it prized symbol of the Mando'ade.
I wish there was more to it than just "you get the object, you get a claim" to the Mandalorian Top Leader ruling. Symbols can be earned and given by the people to their leader (how a crown would be rested unto a Queen/King's head, how the Crook and Flail be symbols for a pharaoh...etc) Or a Natural born leader just becomes so important that one of their prized possessions becomes a symbol to the people during their rule. The Greatest Mand'alor have had the honor of having a title bestowed upon them for their legacy. (Much like old Kings are remembered by certain monickers... not all very positive.)
But for a culture that has it's way set in the past and a respect of what came before to seek and live for a future -not forgetting that their biggest names were Ultimate BadAsses that shook the Galaxy- it makes a stupid kind of sense that an object becomes as important as the function. which again, is stupid. But Humans and other aliens latch on to simple and stupid reasons faster than complex, merit based systems....
Honestly, I prefer the mask over the saber. When you look into the expanded universe the title of mand'alore, (even after the mask was lost to time) was earned by those who proved themselves great warriors worthy of the title and commanded respect from the clans. In a sense the mask was a symbol of that power and respect. Sure, during the KOTOR era many mandalorians did try and become mand'alore without the mask and failed until homeboy Canderous Ordo took the title of mand'alore the preserver. Those that held the title of Mand'alore ended up unifying the mandalorians without a need for a home planet. Meanwhile those that have held the dark saber really only seem to be driven to hold it cause it allows them to rule over the planet Mandalore. In the words of Boba Fett, "You can't rule mandalorians. You just make sensible suggestions they want to follow."
Boba was smart in that he decided to not try and rule over the Mandalorians at all. It's much easier to rule over a desert wasteland that was a former den of criminality and turn it into a semi-decent place to live than it is to rule over a semi-nomadic warrior people who have a very bad habit of needlessly killing things (whether that's other peoples or each other) and try to turn them into semi-decent people. Bo-Katan is incredibly persistent in trying to do the latter, but Boba is incredibly smart in doing the former.
I enjoyed the commentary sprinkled throughout the video.
Sad about the beskar spear. We had the Red Viper of Concordia for but a minute
A similar example from History would be Charles the 7th of France, who at the death of his father was outside Paris. Most of the North of France was under English or Burgundian control and to be consecrated king he had to have a sacred ritual in Reims (occupied by his enemies) cathedral with some holy oil. He wasn't recognized by many vassals and his legitimacy was always put into question. He had to wait for Joan of Arc to free the city for him to become officially king of France and marshall the ressources of the entire kingdom against England.
Could you do a video on the different modes of Galaxy wide government there has been in the History of the Galaxy please? Canon or Legends or both?
This can have its origins in English King Arthur Mythology, in which you had a symbol of leadership called EXCALIBUR, which was a sword that could only be wielded by the "true king".
I think the dark saber resembles Excalibur in a sense because it’s a symbol of a king. I think it’s a cool concept but I think it shouldn’t determine the ruler of mandalor
Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.
DisneyXD's channel has a compilation of the Mandalore arc from Rebels and named it "Dark Excalibur"
I always thought the dark saber was just a symbol of legitimacy. Of course people would go a well collected leader but people often often have an attraction towards cool looking things. So it definitely would help to have
1:30
What about Ordo?
He recovered the mask shortly after Revan 86'ed.
If I were a mandolirian I'd forge a pure beskar gauntlet so that I could grab a jedi's lightsaber
7:40
"Bo katan is horrified that the new mandilorian leader is non scandi- I mean Non mandalorian"
I see what you did there Mandos=space vikings
I think Din should lead the Mandalorians precisely because he doesn't want power. Bo Katan has fucked up in so many ways, namely participating in a coup against her own sister, that I don't think anyone would take her seriously. She'd be better suited to a mentor/trainer role for Din.
no, she needs to just not be a Mandalorian. She has been nothing but bad for her people.
Having a leader who doesn't want to lead can lead to some issues to. I think he's gotta learn to want the role if he is to keep the saber.
They only thing she would be able to teach Din is what not to do.
Thanks for the video, I haven't seen Mando today but BB episode was a sad one.
Bo welded it like a champ like the blade respected her skill
and she killed the dude who beat Din. It's her sword now.
@@veteran17865 not really Din got himself in to the trap and not in acutal Fight so DS still belongs to din
@@fabianbulow Bullshit. Dinn got beat and lost possession of the darksaber. Complete entitlement for him to just waltz over and pick it back up, and I'm pissed that Bo would give it up like that. He lost the symbol of leadership, and she earned it
@@evilcouchpotato6875 won in honour combat
She did. Now I want to see her use it to go up against someone with a lightsaber. That would be f*cking badass.
We can get rid of the Dark Saber making you the leader of Mandalore but don't get rid of it entirely I want Go-Gurt to have it 😂
I agree! Thanks Alan👍🏻 This is the Way😉
To be honest I still probably pick the new mandalorians for stability, just have a secure and reasonable milarty or security that could fighr death watch
Darksaber aka Space Excalibur
That is a perfect comparison I have ever heard.
Maul didn’t kill Visla THAT easily. It was actually one of the better fights of the series.
maul really downscaled his usage of the force during that fight, perhaps to solidly establish his combat superiority. had he used any force abilities up to his skill level, the fight would have been over a bit quicker. when force users (especially top tier ones) are struggling against normies, its because the plot requires it for a "cool scene".
Having a "magic" sword as the right to rule makes sense for a warrior society that places heavy importance on symbolism which is exactly what the Mandalorians are. It's a blessing and a curse. That's one element of the show that I really like. Din Djarin has had to question the creed since Grogu became his responsibility and it allows a light to be shined on the rest of Mandalorian culture.
may be dumb way to pick a leader but it sure is a cool one
The Darksaber was created by a Jedi Annan embodiment of the Living Force, so violating its rules is *obviously* tempting fate in a cosmic sense. We may not like it, but Mandalorians need the strong hand of a powerful warrior leader. This is the Way.
Also: if you’re not imagining 900 year old Grogu as the future Paul Atreides-style God-King of Mandalore, well…
All societies started out with warrior kings at first but you have to evolve to survive. In Star Trek B'lanna Torres said "warriors take the glory but engineers and scientists build societies".
And that's why the Watch are still nomads. By encouraging the warrior way of life no-one specialises in anything else and limits their development
So, who wants to tell him that Luke would be the rightful owner of the Darksaber?
You are freaking awesome!
the weird creature defeated Din. that made him the rightful owner of the darksaber. wich make Bo the rightful owner of the darksaber. also she has bathed in the living waters beneath the mines of Mandalor.
Oh that is interesting; I did not think about that!
writers: "noooo, thats not how we are using that plot device!!"
She has no witness and Din has already been established as someone who's not only friendly to Bo-Katan, but was witnessed trying to just give the Darksaber to her. Other Mandalorians would probably doubt her legitimacy again. She's probably aware that she's going to need much more than just walking into a group of Mandalorians waving a black saber.
@@Teknanam Thats where the creed comes in. Its likely against the creed to bear false witness. Mandalorians pretty much seem to wear their hearts on their sleeves 24/7, they're warriors - deceptive or straightforward, they're still gonna be fighting/dueling for power.
The Armorer believes Din, and has been showed proof to confirm it. She also takes Bo-katan at her word, despite her previous "opinions" about Bo's character.
Bo-katan sees another path to reunite her people. While the Children of the Watch may be "zealots", they are still walking the path of the Mand'alore, and thats' what their people need now. The CotW are also accumulating their fellow Mandalorians, not fighting a civil war among themselves. The Creed will re-unite the lost sheep, as already seen with Bo-katan "shaping up" after seeing the Mythosaur.
Well it looks like my theory aged well.
@Generation Tech, Allen, could you please explain were we got were the Darksaber had to be won in signal combat to be the rightful owner of it. Tarre Vizsla made the Darksaber as a Jedi, then when he died, his decedents liberated/stole it from the Jedi temple. Now unless they defeated a Jedi using it to defined the temple, House Vizsla did not take it in single combat, they just took it out of some vault or display. Next known owner we know is Pre Vizsla. Did he inherit it when the previous owner died or did he win it a duel? Pre Vizsla never had a problem wielding the Darksaber eve after being beaten by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ezra Bridger nor Kanan Jarrus had problems wielding the saber and after training from Kanan nether did Sabine Wren. And Bo-Katan didn't have a problem with the saber ether, she just could not keep it. Maybe it does not have to be won in single combat, just taken from who ever has it and not given as a gift. I thank we all may be looking at it wrong and that is what Dave Filoni wants, to keep us guessing right up to the end.
I think the Mandalorian is a success for three main reasons: It can have plenty of melee fights that are entertaining without the force giving certain characters annoyingly high levels of power that drive people off, it has people who similar enough Boba Fett, an extremely popular character, and it actually has the force visible with Grogu, but no matter how strong they make him, he's too adorable for anyone not to like him, again avoiding many people's tendency not to like overpowered characters as much as balanced ones.
You still have the other stuff, like how it blends samurai and western elements into a sci-fi, and the occasional return of a character or plot element a lot of fans liked already, but I think when considering ALL of the viewers and not only the hardcore, dedicated SW fans who watch it no matter what, it's really those three things that make it work. That or the fact that there's so much bad writing in movies and shows now that every good one stands out like a scaleless argonian wearing a spacesuit and waving a teddy bear.
The dark saber is an annoying inconsistency. You don't need to defeat the previous owner, otherwise the whole idea of it belonging to Sabine doesn't work since Gar Saxon was never the owner either. The entire chain of ownership breaks apart since it was never reclaimed from Maul either. Heck, for all we know it was passed down in the Visla clan from the leader on their death bed, not much of a win in combat is it?
That means just take it by force from whoever has it. Din could have just thrown the saber to Moth Gideon and have Bo Katan kill him and pick it up. They can do that with literally any opponent, weaken them, give them the weapon and Bo Katan defeats them to rightfully claim the saber since it does not matter how the opponent got it just that they had it at the moment of their defeat.
I have always thought this. If the Mandalorians reclaimed the Dark Saber from the Jedi without a legitimate trial by combat, then it did not give Pre Vizla any legitimate claim to the thrown.
@@michaelbox6007 that is the one part that I actually don't mind because it's status as a leadership symbol came into effect as a result of it being reclaimed from the Jedi, not that the Mandalorian jedi was their leader
the best thing in life, is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women... haven't heard that one in a while
Although I feel slightly skeptical in how Bo-Katan will go forward seeing as her mission is basically kaput right now, but she is a hopeful Mandalorian who has learned from her younger mistakes. Also this latest episode shows off how skilled she is wielding the Darksaber compared to literally any other current Mandalorian (no she doesn't win it, you'll see why in the episode).
She respects it and wants it. That is why she is able to weild it. Din does not want jt. It is a tool to him.
Bo and Sabine are the only two people who have current experience wielding the Dark Saber, it was great to see a true Mandalorian with Mandalores weapon in live action
@@AlechiaTheWitch It's more likely because of Din's inner emotional conflict. He's holding this weapon, maybe THE definitive mandalorian weapon without "being" mandalorian himself.
@@DoctorLightning66 i think a bit of both can be true. Bo knows what it is and is confident.
Golden AK-47, good one Alan lol! 8:38.
Mandalorian society is really interesting. A lot of fans seem to not like the (relatively short) era of New Mandalorians under Satine Kryze, but I think it makes a lot of sense that a warrior culture would eventually get fed up with all the stupid infighting and unnecessary death, and realize there is more to life than killing and conquering just for the sake of it and how that could turn you into a hard-core pacifist.
Notably during Satine's reign nobody cared that she didn't have the Darksaber and the citizens weren't wearing armor every day. Unfortunately that pacifist regime didn't last long and the peaceful society they built was wiped out.
I also think it makes sense that a warrior culture would naturally devolve into factions that split up into subgroups of houses and clans. The purpose of uniting under one Mand'alor seemed to be mostly for the purpose of conquest rather than the politics of improving their own society.
put it in a museum!
08:33 Oh man, had me bursting xDD
i loved black panther 2. it was heartbreaking and i thought they dealt with Chadwick's death in an incredibly poignant way. Letita Wright brought everything to her performance, and i loved the villain and his charisma. Thank you for giving it a shout out.
So, as someone that hasn't really had a chance to watch all of the Mandalorian or the Clone Wars; When did Mandalorians go from being a culture bound by a a Code and made up of lots of different races/species both born into that Code and brought into it...into a race of Humans and only humans? I mean all the Disney media and everything showing the New Mandalorians it seems it's just all humans all the time. What Code do they follow that makes them Mandalorian? They've gotten rid of the tenet on armor and martial prowess at least.
I'm not entirely sure how the Mandalorians became a human-majority culture. My best guess would be that since humans are the most populous species in the galaxy, they kinda just outnumbered everyone else who joined the Mandalorians. It's a bit weird for sure, but not too out of the realm of possibility.
You're my favorite Star wars channel. Keep up the good work man!
Unpopular opinion: you don't need to identify as a dem or reb. Leaving one shouldn't propel you to the other side. For some reason a lot of people think that's the answer. I almost fell in that trap.
That's why I'm against the two-party system. The very idea goes against the representative democracy that the Founders intended for us.
@@occam7382 I agree with you.
I don’t have an issue with Mandalorians having a symbol but I do have an issue with that symbol being attached to the Jedi, their ancient enemies. Mandalorian tactics, technology, and culture evolved specifically around fighting *against* the Jedi. Jetpacks, Beskar, flamethrowers, etc are all things they made to counter the Jedi.
But we are supposed to believe that Mandalore gave up one of its children to the Jedi Order and then let that child come back and take over? And then used that child’s Jedi weapon and a symbol? Nonsense
the bad batch and mandalorian episodes today were both amazing my lord
Love your videos, thank you!
sid note on your side note, i think your correct on the black panther take, PB2 was a master piece
Let's see if Grogu can swing a so big lightsaber.
That big lightsaber is yoda's green lightsaber.
The dark ssber is effectively space Excalibur
I agree with you completely
Question, when Moff Gideon won the Dark Saber from Bo Katan why didn't he kill her? Seems kinda out of character for someone who kills his own men for interrupting him lol my only guess would be to humiliate her.
It was definitely to humiliate her. Gideon wanted Bo-Katan to live to see her people be wiped out and rub it in her face how much she failed them. That man was a dishonorable psychopath, so it's certainly in his character.
the Dark Saber is pretty similar to a few mythological weapons like the ever famous Excalibur, its predecessor Caliburn or the older Nordic version of Gram
but i think the main problem is that the difference is that those 3 weapons are linked to magic in some way, all 3 weapons in some version of there story could only be removed from there resting place by the best king for the job
meanwhile the darksaber is only transferred over to the next mandalore via trial by combat with seemingly no influence by the force (but lets been honest, it seems like the force will punish mandalore if the mandalore is not transferred over correctly)
the better way things could be done in the future is the dark saber is owned by the mandalorians greatest warrior rather then there ruler turning the title to Hero of Mandalore another alternative is that instead of "you have the darksaber thus you are mandalore" could be turned into "you are mandalore and thus you must wield the darksaber" turning it into a symbol of office like a scepter or a crown
the mandalorians will need to do some shenanigans to appease the dark saber but i think it can be done
like you have your typical ways to get a new person into power but the final stage is an honor duel with the current owner, a trial of the people and then a trial of combat to become mandalore this way you cant just kill the current user of the dark saber and become mandalore, you have to lead the people first small scale and work up the ranks to then get the right to challenge mandalore
That was a random political rant
0:18 I sort of heard a quote from Conan the Barbarian
Alan your ability to apply lessons in Start Ward to current day politics is impressive. Keep up the good work.
Why you buying deodorant from the Bodega in the first place ? Lol
Thanks, I didn't know about the Mask. What about the lore of the Mythosaur and Mandalore the Great? Did the myth of the Mythosaur come before the Mask?
While tradition May say that our boy has a legitimate claim to the darksaber you can still see the clearly struggles to wield it., He truly does not want the mantle of leadership earn or not
Meanwhile Bo Katan Who actively does Truly believe she deserves to lead can Wield the weapon with Grace, skill and ease one handed.
The weapon clearly Has a preference.
I thought there would be more saber play bit that's just cuz I am a dark saber fanatic. Overall great fucking vid. 👍👍
I was under the impression that Death Watch lost to Jaster Mereel's True Mandalorions, and that was the mandalorian civil war? Or do I have that mixed up?
They have too many civil wars.

This isn't the result of policies themselves, but rather the response to those policies.
One could argue hypothetical syllogism, but I would argue the responsibility of the intermediary.
The policy objective is a balance neutral redistribution of funds to better SUPPORT POLICE by letting them focus on policing while other departments deal with the issues that waste so much of their time.
Defend PD is not the same as Abolish PD.
I just wanna know what tf that grevious looking cyborg thing in episode 2 was.
Representing for the OG mandalorians, heavily armed rednecks who mostly didnt give a crap who was in charge, at least until there was a fight brewing. And even then it was just for direction on who to wreck first.

I smile when I hear your voice. It is the harbinger of good and thought-provoking entertainment. I sincerely appreciate the time and attention you give to your subject matter. Thank you.
I really loved the tangent in the middle. Feel the same.
5:56 amen brother
I dont want them to outright destroy the darksaber but I think that if they take away its owners right to claim the thrown and maybe instead the best fighter of the Mandalorians and possibly make them the defender/ advisor of the Mandalore instead. This still has some power and alot of problems' but I feel like if they are like Din Djarin in the terms of their loyalty to The Way it could work. we have already seen some of the positive effects that the children of the watch beliefs has on its members, a perfect mandalorian society would be a mix of the new mandalorian like bo-ktan but also childrene of the watch
Or better yet the owner of the darksabre could be ceremonial head while a prime minister and elected parliament leads.
That kinda happened in the UK. The owner of crown ruled the nation as king, until Parliament decided it ruled and the king held an honorary position to not fully throw out tradition
Or the position of Mand'alor could be similar to that of the Roman Consul, an elected leader who presides over the nation and shares power with an elected legislature in peacetime but can take on emergancy powers during (and only during) national emergencies, like a war or a rebellion.

Wish for future Earth in Star Wars videos soon 🤔
Personally think Sabine will come back and take the darksaber from Djin willingly and when Bo Katan says she hasn't earned it Sabine will remind her that she never earned it when she had it and that Sabine was the one that gave it to her in the first place. Also, since Sabine defeated Gar Saxon, she has a combat claim to it. Sabine comes to bring back Dutchess Satines views for Mandalore but with less passivity in her rule. A society with its own defenses and alliances.
I think din could be a good ruler if he wants to be but I believe Sabine will make an excellent ruler like you just said. If din was to be ruler of Mandalore like Allen said he should be called Mandalore the uniter bc he constantly unites people
@@havco501st7, except Mand'alor the Uniter has already been taken.
I very much doubt that would be how things would go down at all. Sabine refused to be Mand'alor multiple times before, why would she start wanting to now?
If Mandalore took Wakanda's path and decide to find the other ways to do things with beskar instead of just creating armors for combats, will Mandalore be on the better path?
The billion-dollar cut never happened. The NYPD's budget fell by just 2.8%, dropping from $5.6 billion in 2019 to $5.4 billion in 2022. $5.7 billionus likely due for 2023. The NYPD is notorious for exceeding its overtime budget, as a current New Yorker i like to keep track of that. In fact around the country "defunding" hasn't actually happened, not in the way proponents of hardcore "law and order" have said. budgets of more than 100 cities and counties and found 83% are spending at least 2% more on police in 2022 than in 2019. There's more crime despite the increase in policing. The real issue currently is the increase in prices across the board and corporate pandering, lack of access and affordability to mental Healthcare too. Then corruption within our government. Also there are gangs formed in police like the Banditos, the Regulators, and the Spartans. Along with the Cowboys, and the Reapers . In fact policing is getting worse because the people were supposed to rely on for policing aren't doing their jobs.
Im not trying to start anything anf of course i came for the star wars content but as someone with family in law enforcement i felt compelled to mention it. I'll take my down votes and berating now.
Yeah, honestly that completely misguided political tangent made me unsubscribe and block this channel from my algorithms.
@@VentureJ no don't. Look his content is fine and he can have his opinion on the manner. He's not a political TH-camr. He's not like me who examines this stuff everyday and sometimes he even has better takes.
This was just me being a stickler, don't make choices on only what i say and only one statement from him. This was a simple fact check, a simple attempt to give everyone a better nuanced understanding because there is *some* policies that have left dangerous criminals to run amuck. But the bigger overarching problem isn't those specific policies by a few DAs around the country, its other stuff. The policies just contribute to it.
@@torntokoroa3357 You’re not at fault at all for this!
It’s Allen’s choice to suddenly introduce (and even elaborate on) this misguided opinion in a Star Wars video.
Can’t you please do what if Bo katan found grogu
Serious question. Why do you pronounce Sabine's name like that?
Love the bits about Sabine being anti establishment. Well written and spoken episode 😊
Possession of an object is a terrible way to rule I agree. But I wonder if possessing the object has some odd link to the crystal that it uses. No doubt it's lore was developed off the excalibur stories. But I wonder if the kyber crystal in the saber has some odd mechanic to it, like the wands in harry potter...
I would love to see din change mandalorian culture. I can totally see him being the type of person to try to get everyone to get along. Focusing on the traditions that bind them, rather than objects like the mask the sword or the planet.
Is it “Cries” or “Crease?”
7:48 well I wouldn’t say she’s racist I say she’s xenophobic
perhaps ownership should not determine leadership, but leadership should determine ownership. whoever the Mandalorian people choose to rule gets to own the saber.
A nationality fighting against itself does not need a government.
Let’s be honest though, I’m not positive that Sabine’s battle should even count for ownership of the lightsaber and title of Mandalore. Maul had to make an actual challenge to the owner. Palpatine beats him even though he technically didn’t state a challenge and rejected the lightsaber, he would be the proper owner unless the owner is the person who kills Maul. So it should probably belong to Palpatine or Obi-Wan. Palpatine gets killed by Vader, Obi-Wan is technically killed in a duel with Vader (he basically gave up the ghost on purpose). Vader should be the proper owner. Upon his death it can pass to Luke Skywalker, the new Mandalore 😂.
I took a story not about the main characters of Star Wars and made it completely about them. You’re welcome 😂
