Sabine leads the Mandalorians against the Empire as she attempts to destroy the Duchess and free her people from Imperial oppression.
When Sabine realizes the Empire has resurrected the weapon known as “The Duchess,” she knows it must be destroyed or the Empire will conquer Mandalore. She leads her friends and other Mandalorians on a mission to do just that. However, when the time comes to destroy the Duchess, she has second thoughts. Bo-Katan steps in and brings Sabine to her senses and the mission is a success. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we analyze Mandalorian culture presented in this episode through the lens of The Mandalorian and lessons learned about Mandalorians there.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Aspects of Mandalorian culture portrayed in this episode as seen through the lens of The Mandalorian,
- The difference between the Children of the Watch and the traditional Mandalorians,
- Bo-Katan’s urging that Sabine destroy the Duchess rather than use it against the Empire,
- The action scenes of this episode, and
- Sabine’s decision to present the Darksaber to Bo-Katan.
