Does The Mandalorian just want us to forget Bo-Katan has the Darksaber now?

We’re about halfway through this latest season of The Mandalorian, the sci-fi action-adventure series starring Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) as the eponymous bounty hunter Din Djarin, and so far it’s been, uh… well, it’s been pretty odd. So far we’ve seen Din taking part in what my colleague Joshua Rivera so succinctly described as a “weird baptism” to redeem himself in the eyes of his Mandalorian brethren, while the third episode, “The Convert,” abruptly shifted focus to center on a story with some questionable takeaways as it relates to the politics and governance of the New Republic.

Compared to the previous two episodes, the season’s fourth episode, “The Foundling,” is a relatively straightforward one. After proving that he has in fact “bathed in the Living Waters beneath the mines of Mandalore,” Din has redeemed himself in the eyes of the Children of the Watch and is thus welcomed back into the fold, with his foundling ward Grogu and former Nite Owl leader Bo-Katan Kryze in tow. All in all it’s a serviceable episode, with Din and Bo-Katan being enlisted to rescue a Mandalorian foundling from a Reptavian nest and a brief flashback to Grogu’s escape from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant following the Order 66 massacre of the Jedi.

That said, there’s a major development of this season so far that both this week’s and last week’s episode have not touched, one that only becomes more glaring the longer the show goes without addressing it: Bo-Katan is now technically, arguably, the wielder of the Darksaber. Which is kind of a big deal, so why isn’t anyone talking about it?

To be fair, the lore and rules surrounding the Darksaber have been iffy since the weapon was introduced in the series in a post-credits scene at the end of
