Instead, Bo-Katan is pretty much hacked The Mandalorian Season 3.
in The Mandalorian In Season 2, Din Jaren enlists Bo-Katan’s help to save Grogu from the Empire. Offering her Nite Owls as support, Kryze agrees to help in exchange for the Darksaber in Moff Gideon’s possession, the legendary blade once wielded by Bo-Katan herself. Believing in his ability to unite the fractured clans of Mandalore, Bo-Katan was visibly annoyed at Jaren’s unwitting claim to the blade to defeat Gideon. as a result of, The Mandalorian Season 3 has now reversed her arc regarding her role as Mandalore’s chief female lead.
The Mandalorian season 2 appoints Bo-Katan as the leader of the Mandalorian
As seen in The Mandalorian In Season 2, Bo-Katan Kryze has been amassing forces to take back Mandalore and unite the various clans once again. Having become regent of Mandalore prior to the purge of the Empire known as the Night of a Thousand Tears, Beau-Katan was still determined to lead and fight for her people despite the loss of their homeworld. However, she still needed the Darksaber, a major symbol of power in Mandalorian culture.
While she once wielded the Legendary Blade, this was confirmed by V Boba Fett book That Bo-Katan never gained a Darksaber as his lore requires. Instead, Sabine and Rin give it to her, rather than winning the fight. As such, this is why Djarin claims the Darksaber in The Mandalorian The Season 2 finale was very problematic for Bo-Katan and her mission to take back Mandalore. Taking back the Darksaber (correctly) would have given Bo-Katan the right to lead, but also salvation in the eyes of her people.
The Mandalorian Season 3 drops Bo-Katan setup
Sitting in an empty castle The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 1 Things are looking rather bleak for Bo-Katan Kryze. When Djarin arrives with Grogu and asks what forces she intends to use to take back the Mandalore homeworld, Bo-Katan admits that they have all left, many of them becoming mercenaries. Without the Darksaber, Bo-Katan’s authority means very little to her fellow Mandalorians.

However, she’s expected to play a continuing role in the rest of Season 3, with Sackhoff credited in starring alongside Pedro Pascal – whose Din Jarin heads to the ruins of Mandalore to seek redemption of his own, after he breaks his clan’s creed by removing his helmet.
How will Bo-Katan fit into The Mandalorian Season 3’s story?
Should Darien discover that Mandalore is more habitable and/or accessible than expected, Bo-Katan may receive renewed purpose and drive to take back her world. In the same vein, the possibility of Bo-Katan becoming a rival to Din is also a strong one, especially if you decide to take on him in the fight for the Darksaber. Then she would have a real claim to the blade and the power that comes with it in the eyes of her people.
Regardless, obviously the Mandalorian The Season 3 premiere wasn’t the last that viewers saw of Bo-Katan Kryze, though her entire pre-existing arc was flipped for this new one. star Wars era. Now, Bo-Katan has nowhere to go but to climb up, able to learn from the mistakes of her past while also gaining a new perspective.
