10 More Star Wars Fan Theories That Became Fact

Without doubt one of the coolest weapons to ever pop up in the galaxy far, far away, the Darksaber has been wielded by some of the most important characters in Star Wars history.

And with its reintroduction in The Mandalorian's first season, some felt like it was only a matter of time before a certain Din Djarin found himself being added to that impressive list - one that also includes Maul, Pre Vizsla, Sabine Wren, Bo-Katan Kryze, and Moff Gideon.

After watching that last name slice his way out of a TIE Fighter in that first season's finale, a number of fans began to speculate on Reddit that season two would see Pedro Pascal's character hold that sacred Mandalorian weapon, too.

It may have taken the entire season to get there, but this prediction/theory turned out to be quite accurate as Mando not only bested Gideon in a fight and technically won the weapon from him, he also walked into a room with it ignited. And this was something that definitely came as an unwanted surprise to a Bo-Katan who knew just being handed the weapon (once again), instead of winning it in combat, would make her claim to the throne of Mandalore illegitimate.

Still, though, a lot of fans just knew from the moment they saw Gideon holding that ancient black blade that it was bound to end up in Mando's mitts, even if he didn't actually fully start swinging it around until the likes of The Book of Boba Fett and Mando season 3.
