Its newest episode is all enterprise. Mando lastly “finds” different Mandalorians and one other Star Wars character with a wealthy, attractive historical past within the franchise is launched, making means for an upcoming fan-favourite character.
With out giving freely a lot of the small print, it’s already identified that “The Heiress” was going to see the following leg of Mando, Baby Yoda, and the Frog Girl’s relatively bumpy journey to the planet Trask, the place the latter is united along with her husband. And as per their deal, he directs Mando to the place he can discover extra details about different Mandalorians in hiding.
However surprisingly, regardless that he’s proven to be blessed with acute intelligence and fast reflexes, Mando is not capable of see the crystal-clear entice of betrayal up till the final second. The episode takes a not-so-unexpected twist when the squid-like aliens, one other Star Wars creature often called Quarren, feed Child Yoda to a horrifying mamacore and attempt to drown Din Djarin to get their palms on his priceless Beskar armour.
Simply then three Mandalorians land and blast away the Quarrens in addition to save The Youngster and Mando. However not like Mando, they haven’t any qualms about eradicating their helmets. Whereas two of them are new characters, their chief has appeared many occasions within the Star Wars universe, the fearless Bo-Katan Kryze who has been a significant character within the animtated sequence Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. And curiously, marking her first live-action look is Katee Sackhoff who additionally voiced the character within the animated exhibits.
She was first seen in The Clone Wars as a member of the estranged part of the Mandalorians often called Loss of life Watch.

Her fears weren’t baseless as Maul double-crossed them, killed Vizla, and took the throne for himself, leaving Bo-Katan to align herself with Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano to take him down within the Siege of Mandalore, a feat they in the end achieved.
Why is Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian?
In The Mandalorian‘s Chapter 11, Bo-Katan is attempting to find the weapons held in an Imperial ship however it’s quickly revealed that she is definitely on the hunt for the Darksaber, the image of Mandalorian management earlier than she goes again to rule Mandalore. As per the Star Wars timeline, the Darksaber’s first look was in The Clone Wars within the hand of Pre Vizsla, from whom it was taken by Maul to imagine management of the Loss of life Watch and Mandalore.
Although Maul was defeated, the Darksaber was taken from him by Sabine Wren, a descendent of the Vizsla clan, who bestowed it upon Bo-Katan with the duty to unite the Mandalore’s clans and get it again from the claws of the Empire in Rebels.
It’s identified that she misplaced the legendary weapon through the Nice Purge and as The Mandalorian Season 2 establishes, it’s now beneath the safety of Moff Gideon, although how he obtained his palms on the identical are particulars which might be but to be revealed. And whereas Bo-Katan earlier had a sneaking suspicion that he has the Darksaber, “The Heiress” confirms it. Although that is the primary time that now we have heard the time period “Darksaber” on The Mandalorian, it has already been proven earlier than, within the Season 1 finale the place Moff Gideon makes use of it to chop himself out of his fallen TIE Fighter.
It’s greater than probably that Bo-Katan, Mando, and Gideon will once more cross paths. the Mandalore’s inheritor is now gunning for Moff, who’s after The Youngster. And although one other anticipated Clone Wars character would not seem on this episode, their title being subtly uttered certain does arrange a promising future for the character’s upcoming live-action debut.
