The latest episode of the Book of Boba Fett was full of content…if you were listening
closely.
I will probably make a few videos as to what’s in this episode because of it being filled
to the brim with gems.
But this video is a big one.
So stick around for the whole reveal.
Welcome back, everyone, I’m Gerald and I’m a Star Wars Fanatic.

Also leave a comment for the video and I’ll select one comment to highlight at the end
of my next video.
So, stick around to see who the highlighted comment is today, it’s a fun one.
With that said, let’s get back to today’s topic.
Chapter 5 of the Book of Boba Fett is out and it’s a big one.
Not in terms of action or even moving Boba Fett’s story along, but it gives us a lot
of insight into things like the darksaber, the Purge of Mandalore (known as the Night
of a Thousand Tears, the reason Bo-Katan Kryze failed as a leader, and where the Armorer
and Paz Vizsla stood during the Purge and Bo-Katan’s Reign.
This all serves the story of the Mandalorian very well but there was one more piece of
information that could have been missed…if you weren’t noticing its subtlety.
And this subtle hint COULD be a huge clue to the future of Boba Fett, himself.
The armorer tells Din Djarin:
“The songs of ions past foretold of thy Mythosaur rising up to Harald a new age of
Mandalore.
Sadly, it only exists in Legends.”
We all know the mighty Mythosaur has been extinct for some time.
The last to ride them were the Taung, an ancient race of Mandalorians that came before the
mostly human Mandalorians we know.
The second quote I’ll talk about is also from the Armorer, when talking about Bo-Katan
and the darksaber: “Had our sect not been posted on the moon
of Concordia, we would have not survived the great purge.”
Then it goes into a flashback where we see the Empire decimate Mandalore.
The domed capital city of Sundari can be seen being destroyed.
So, the second quote is the first I’ll talk about.
yeah, I changed my mind…shoot me.
So, if you’ve seen the clone wars, you know the moon of Concordia is an important place
for the members of Death Watch.
It’s where they were banished to by the pacifist government.
That is, until Maul took over Death Watch by killing Pre Vizsla and taking the darksaber
as his right to rule.
At this time, Bo-Katan Kryze left Death Watch.
Turning her back on so many of her former friends and colleagues…fellow terrorists.
And one of those was Rook Kast.
Now, I know I’ve made a couple of videos about the fate of Rook Kast and where I believe
she ended up.
But to recap…she ended up wearing a certain gold helmet with small horns.
Small horns that indicate a former allegiance to a certain fallen Sith…Darth Maul…or
just Maul.
The tie ins between the Armorer and Rook Kast are just too convenient.
It’s also important to note that the Armorer seems bitter towards Bo-Katan and blames her
for the loss of Mandalore.
If the legends are true…and we will get more into that word in a bit…then it is
Bo-Katan’s fault for losing Mandalore.
That is, the legend of the darksaber.
That it has to be wielded by creed through a victory in combat from the previous wielder.
But, we all know the darksaber was gifted to Bo-Katan by Sabine Wren.
If the rumors are true, and there will be a Bo-Katan series, and I hope there is, then
this sets up a HUGE backstory for her character and that of Rook Kast…the Armorer.
But this is one I’ve been theorizing on for a while.
Now, let’s go back to the first quote I mentioned…also from the Armorer:
“The songs of ions past foretold of the Mythosaur rising up to Harald a new age of
Mandalore.
Sadly, it only exists in Legends.”
Let’s break this bit down.
It’s important to note what she’s doing at the very moment she speaks this line and
the actual words used.
In literature, the rhetoric used is just as important as the message being conveyed.
The outward, obvious message being…the Mythosaur will rise again to help usher a renaissance
of Mandalore.
The Mythosaur being a large dinosaur or dragon like creature that was ridden by the ancient
Mandalorians.
Until the mostly human Mandalorians were all that was left and killed the Mythosaur to
extinction.
But the Legend the Armorer tells about says there should be at least one.
And there is.
But there is only one.
And it’s on Tatooine.
Look at what the armorer is doing when she’s talking about this legend…and don’t worry
I’ll get to her words in a bit.
She’s opening a tool cabinet…but what’s on the cabinet in front of her face, painted
in a subdued red?
The Mythosaur skull.
Now, this could tie into their beliefs that the Mythosaur is legendary and part of their
society and religion…it’s an icon.
Or…let’s examine the symbol, rather than the creature.
If we go back to the Mandalorian Season 1…we see the Mythosaur skull above the door to
the Armorer’s work area.
Now, in Chapter 5 of the Book of Boba Fett, we see the symbol above a door again that
leads to their new hideaway.
Lastly, we the symbol again on the tool cabinet.
But this one is different than the ones we have seen in the Mandalorian before.
This one is…familiar.
It’s true that the Mandalorian’s use the Mythosaur symbol as a symbol of power and
unity.
But as we’ve seen, each in live action has been different.
Even in the old Jango Fett comics, the Mythosaur looked different.
But this one on the tool cabinet is conveniently placed there as she’s talking about the
Mythosaur rising.
This is the same brand Mythosaur skull that Boba Fett wears.
We can sit and debate all day about why she would have that emblem on her chest, if only
Boba Fett wore it.
But it isn’t placed there for her…it’s placed there for us.
A subtle hint that Boba Fett is going to rise and become the Mand’alor to usher a new
dawn for the Mandalorian people.
I said I would get back to her words.
The word legend appears in Star Wars when something in the old, expanded universe is
about to be made canon.
Ahsoka Tano said it in Rebels, “there’s always a bit of truth in Legends.”
She said that just before the reintroduction of Grand Admiral Thrawn into the new canon…from
Legends.
In Legends, which is what Lucasfilm has deemed old print media from before the Disney era,
Boba Fett became the Mand’alor to usher in a new era for the Mandalorians.
Look at her words again, “The songs of ions past foretold of thy Mythosaur rising up to
Harald a new age of Mandalore.”
Who is rising up as a leader?
Boba Fett.
I know everyone wants Din Djarin to be that Mand’alor but that isn’t going to be
the case.
He doesn’t want it.
He handed it to Paz Vizsla like it was no big deal…instead of walking it over to the
Armorer.
He also had a hard time using it.
It got heavier and harder to wield.
It’s going to continue being a problem for him.
Remember when I said the darksaber had been passed down from generation to generation
within clan Vizsla?
Using the word “Legend” again…in the former comics, Jango Fett beat Tor Vizsla
in single combat, Making Jango the rightful owner of the darksaber.
However, it was not even created by Lucasfilm at that time and therefor not explained.
If they take Legends material from those comics and make it canon, because Jango Fett wasn’t
wielding the darksaber when he was killed.
It didn’t get passed to Mace Windu, either.
In fact, it was sitting with clan Vizsla the whole time…unrightfully…cursing their
society…ending in Pre Vizsla’s death.
Then cursing Maul’s reign, he wasn’t the rightful owner of it either.
Who was?
As far as the darksaber knew…it was Jango Fett.
And there is one perfect DNA clone of Jango…Boba Fett.
And if I’m right, this video had everything to do with Boba Fett, and very little to do
with Din Djarin.
That’s why it wasn’t the first episode of the Mandalorian season 3.
I know this is a long explanation as to my theory that Boba Fett will lead the Mandalorians
to victory and prosperity, and when the war is over on Tatooine and boba is victorious…Tatooine
will be the new home of the Mandalorians.
But what do you think?
Is this possible?
The more we see from the two series, the more I see it as it’s only a matter of time.
But let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
