The Mandalorian: 10 Things Star Wars Fans Need To Know About Bo-Katan
5. She Has Participated In Two Civil Wars On Mandalore
Most people would wish that they were not a part of any form of war, but Katan has been unlucky enough to have fought in two of them.
The first civil war took place during the Clone Wars, after Darth Maul took control of Mandalore by overthrowing the current government. With Katan and many Mandalorians refusing to accept this claim to the throne and with Duchess Satine locked away, they sought the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
This was all part of Maul's quest for power and revenge though. He led Kenobi to the palace and executed Satine right in front of him. Even though Kenobi obviously escaped, it was still a tragic series of events which eventually led to the Siege of Mandalore.
The second Civil War erupted during the events of Star Wars Rebels when Clan Saxon ruled Mandalore under Imperial occupation. This Civil War resulted in the deaths of both Gar and Tiber Saxon, who wished to use a machine that targets Mandalorian armour (created by Sabine Wren) to kill Mandalorians.
The outcome of this war resulted in Sabine presenting Katan with the Darksaber, as she was deemed as the rightful leader of Mandalore and the only person worthy of leading their planet.
