Star Wars: Every Character Who's Wielded The Darksaber

2. Bo-Katan Kryze

Star Wars Maul Darksaber
Lucasfilm

Though she had proven herself, Sabine gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan Kryze, the sister of the late Duchess Satine who had watched Maul kill Pre Vizsla during the Clone Wars. Following the death of Vizsla and Satine, Bo-Katan spent the final days of the Republic building a rebellion against Maul's rule.

After the Siege of Mandalore (which was led by her and former Jedi Ahsoka Tano), she became the leader of the planet, but her rule was short lived as the Empire took hold and war erupted once more. During the rise of the Empire, she led a resistance against Mandalore's occupation.

After Mandalore was liberated, she questioned whether she was worthy of the Darksaber, considering herself a failure, but eventually took it when her people voiced their support. Some time before the end of the Empire Mandalore was laid to waste in the Great Purge, with many of Bo-Katan's people killed. During the Purge, she lost the Darksaber to the Imperial Moff Gideon, although the exact specifics of how it came to be in Gideon's possession is still unclear.

She's currently building a Mandalorian coalition to reclaim the Darksaber from Gideon, and unite Mandalore under her rule once more.
