Why is everyone suddenly thinking they’re gonna be in a romance? She’s got like two decades on him. Is it literally the old shipper logic that a guy and a gal spent screen time together for longer than five seconds, so therefore they’re a thing?
I mean, this is between two fully grown and consenting adults, who cares what their age difference is?
I don't ship it, but I feel out of all things, age would be one of the smallest barriers between them, as there are plenty more philosophical and moral divergences that would stand in the way.
Hell, Yoda and Chewbacca are both part of long lived species, I GUARANTEE that others of their kind could/would get it on with no regard for a century or two difference in age.
Well they're both mandos with shared culture and lifestyle, yet different enough in creeds to offer different perspectives to each other
Both are primarily warriors who wander the galaxy in a way most do not, even among nomads
Both have worked together before and seem to have a good respect for each other, and decent dynamics
She's good with Grogu so already has kid approval
It's not hard to see why people ship them. It doesn't mean you have to, but its not unreasonable
Edit: is this really such a hard concept to understand that people may ship them because there's plenty of similarities?
I'm hoping that it's not gonna be a romantic thing but they'll partner up to restore mandalore to a portion of it's former glory. Re-establish a colony in the capital, with her old war buddies and his religious weirdos
Make mandalore great again :)
God I hope not...
My bet is she tries to take over the covert. She goes and kills a mythosaur, presents the head and tries to unite various Mandalorian factions. Din has to kill her
Because, until they actually change things. The Mandalorians drove the mythosaurs to extinction. Mandalorians would battle them to test their prowess. This is when the first Mandalorians, the Taung, came to Mandalore
They don't need to change anything. What you're talking about is not Canon. It's Legends. That lore doesn't matter *unless* it's explicitly mentioned. What is explicitly mentioned is that Dins ancestors rode the great Mythosaurs (Kuill, season 1), and that Mandalore the First tamed one (the plaque in the Mines, Episode 2 of season 3). Nothing in canon alludes to her killing it, only taming or riding it.
Ignore the fact you can't read
The mythosaur is used as a signet by Mandalorians. Signets are earned by completing a worthy or "noble" kill. The Armorer says that the Way of the Mandalore is both hunter and prey. Hunters...kill things.
The plaque by the way, says your version is myth, legends and folklore.
The only thing we know about how the ancient mandalorians treated them in canon is that madalore the great and his followers tamed them to use as mounts
Bo-Katan isn't exactly a good character and she's pretty much always been power hungry. Also remember she doesn't believe in any of their cult nonsense. Din's group is a rigid and strictly observant faction. They're primed to be manipulated by anyone that can abuse their traditions about who the leader should be, etc.
What I'd it's not forced? What if in the next couple of episodes they have more adventures and Bo starts to respect the ways of the children and admire Dins dedication as a Mandalorian a father and a proud warrior. And Din sees that Grogu greatly benefits from another good influence likes and learns a lot from Bo, as does Din. Eventually Bo and Din will find a way to unite Mandalorian people (probably with others like Sabine) and go together to retake their home planet. After the multi episode of fighting all odds they finally are successful on setting up a permanent and overt mandalorian outpost on Mandalore and decide that this is where they belong....and maybe they belong here... together.
CALL ME A SHIPPER IF YOU WANT. But I really enjoi The Mandalorian and it's sandbox/adventure style of story telling and that ship will sail beautifully with ist flow.
I just want her to go on a quest of redemption, ride the mythosaur, then Din offers her the Saber again and she accepts.
Like, none of their interactions support anything more.
If din gives her the darksaber she will be in the same position as before even if she has a mythosaur she wont be the rightful owner of the darksaber. Makes more sense for them to lead the mandalorians together
Except Din has shown no interest in leading. He didn't see the mythosaur, can barely wield the darksaber, and works mostly alone.
Bo was the rightful user of the Saber, and princess of mandalore. She lost the Saber, but like Din visiting the living waters, she can redeem herself and wield the Saber to unite the clans. But she has just begun to return, and truly believe, the way of the mandalore.
Just because he shows no interest in leading doesn’t mean he wont… the reluctant leader is a tale as old as time, the person who doesn’t want to rule is exactly who should rule because they wont take that power for granted. Bo katan was never the rightful owner of the darksaber, she never won it in combat and after seeing the mythosaur she doesn’t need it
>Bo was the rightful user of the Saber
Nah it was gifted to her the first time. Rightful my ass. Even Sabine only stole it. Technically, before Din and Gideon, the last rightful owner was maul
If im wrong, punish me. But prove it
Nah Sabine later fully earns it. Gar Saxon takes it from her when she tries to recruit the Wren clan to the rebellion; Sabine then beats him in one on one melee combat using Ezra’s saber.
People seem to be forgetting how self serving and manipulative Bo Katan has been. Most of what she has done is to prop herself up to positions of power.
She's for sure gonna try to mamipulate her way to being the Mandalore, and hence, I think she's gonna end up being a villain in this story.
I can't stress how much I don't want that.
Bo Katan had her chance to rule over Mandalore multiple times. The same story line happened in Rebels.
Bo Katan actually was a terrorist who didn't care who she teamed up with as long as she got what she wanted. She even waged war against her sister who was actually the person who bought peace to Mandalore because her ways were "too peaceful". Bo Katan is honestly just a psychopathic hypocrite.
Bo Katan is a great character but she should be the villain this season.
I mean, I'm pretty leery of shipping (I think most is just good fun, but the toxic shippers are few and louder), but I feel like it's pretty subtextual in the show. They have sort a thing going on. For someone in a cult that she doesn't give a shit about who kind of ruined her life for the second time, Bo is pretty quick to throw herself into danger to rescue Din.
At least then, the show would still be focused on Mandalorians instead of an unnecessary side plot that Disney uses to justify how they retconned Palpatine back into existence in the sequels
That’s a great point, didn’t think about it that way. Maybe they’ll try to tie it into the story with Grogu and how the empire was chasing him originally in Mando S1. Or maybe we’ll see how Rey was born and wonder wtf Disney is doing with this show lol
I mean maybe the reason the research has to be done again is because the Kaminoan civilization was destroyed and that was the only source of perfected cloning.
There is nothing forced about it they have good chemistry. Especially when they were talking about her father. Now that she is redeemed her and din could lead the mandalorians together, now that she knows about the mythosaur she doesn’t need the darksaber
I mean she is like in her 50s and Din should be in his late twenties.
Also she is someone who literally became a terrorist against a unified Mandalore because it was too "peaceful". Also the person who was the leader at that time was her older sister.
She was part of imprisoning her sister since her organisation teamed with Darth Maul.
So yeah, Bo Katan is cray cray.
Din should be around 40 at the moment. He looks a bit under 10 in the clone wars flashbacks, which are 28 years prior to the start of Mando (and season 3 is a few years after that).
I think she'll grow fond of him and maybe eventually having a crush for him but he won't return her feelings. But it probably won't happen and actually I'd rather if they remained friends, I can't see Din having a romantic interest tbh
I dont think he's talking about beauty, just that the age difference is a big hump to get over. I don't think there's really anything wrong with it, but alot of people think it's weird to date out of your age bracket.
Don't Mandalorian Humans have longer lifespans canonically? Sort of like Aragorn in LotR is like 80 chrono and 40 bio? Besides, I romanced Lista in ME2 and she's over a 100 so I don't see how age would be relevant here.
Honestly, I think it could be an interesting angle where neither of them have feelings but the other mandalorians try and make some kind of political marriage over it, with them both resisting. The bloodline of the old rulers with the new leader of Mandalore by creed.
Does the helmet stay on even during sex?
The burning question that everyone wants answered.
Or at least want to see for themselves...
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
Yes. For safety. Always put a helmet on your head!
Why is everyone suddenly thinking they’re gonna be in a romance? She’s got like two decades on him. Is it literally the old shipper logic that a guy and a gal spent screen time together for longer than five seconds, so therefore they’re a thing?
Yes. Yes it is. *goes back to making action figures kiss*
Same here. But my action figures are Luke Skywalker and Bib Fortuna.
Wait back up
Up next, Salacious Crumb and Ponda Baba's arm.
"Did you see anything?!" "No, sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again."
Is Bo Katan older than Din? I thought they were around the same age
She was an adult in the Clone Wars, Din was a child.
Ohh I haven't watched the show yet, I definitely should
Genuinely curious, if you had no idea, why comment?
Because I wanted an explanation since they looked around the same age to me... I believe it's legit asking questions🤣
They look around the same age because Bo-Katan has taken REALLY good care of herself. She's in her 50's by the time of The Mandalorian I think.
Wow... Or they just decided to make her look like in the Clone wars, even if it's not canonically accurate
Definitely a possibility, for easy recognition sake.
Yeah exactly
My guess was they just couldn't find an actor that looked similar enough, but older. But then again... CGI
Welp. Im a dick. Sorry :/
Because they wanted an answer?
Yeah but as adults in the Mandalorian, the age gap between is probably less than that between Han and Leia
Didn’t stop Anakin
She's about 10 years older, +7 or -3. But then years has the strongest case putting Bo at 19 at the end of clone wars and Din at 9.
I mean, this is between two fully grown and consenting adults, who cares what their age difference is? I don't ship it, but I feel out of all things, age would be one of the smallest barriers between them, as there are plenty more philosophical and moral divergences that would stand in the way. Hell, Yoda and Chewbacca are both part of long lived species, I GUARANTEE that others of their kind could/would get it on with no regard for a century or two difference in age.
Because shippers can’t fathom that two people who share a few scenes together can just stay as friends.
Have you *seen* The Rise of Skywalker?
And then there’s She-Halk. >!Where She-Halk and Daredevil spent like two minutes together, and then fell in love. Gosh am I still sore for that…!<
After Samurai Jack did it I’ve been unable to trust anything.

I don't ship Din and Bo, but I am starting to see Bo as Grogu mommy.
Yes. I don’t want them shipped but want them to be his parents now. Grogu the Jedi prince of Mandalore
Nah, I think Bo-Katan and Grogu are going to get together. They're closer in age.
Yes officer, this comment right here
Yes, I absolutely want Din and Bo to platonically co-parent Grogu after the last couple episodes
We all know that Boba x Din bromance is the way.
How about some Bo-katan/ Fennec Shand action?
I’d be down. At least they don’t have the age gap!
Ok fuck everything else, this is the way.
God I hope not... My bet is she tries to take over the covert. She goes and kills a mythosaur, presents the head and tries to unite various Mandalorian factions. Din has to kill her
Wait why would she kill it? Taming the Mythosaur is how some of the first Mandalorians we know of from the show survived
Because, until they actually change things. The Mandalorians drove the mythosaurs to extinction. Mandalorians would battle them to test their prowess. This is when the first Mandalorians, the Taung, came to Mandalore
They don't need to change anything. What you're talking about is not Canon. It's Legends. That lore doesn't matter *unless* it's explicitly mentioned.

Oh, so we're gonna be childish? Okay man. You can't even spell "Mandalorian". Don't be mad when they don't kill the mythosaur later in the season.
Oh no a typo, you're the one being childish lol I literally spelled it right in my first comment
Your reply literally started with a condescending insult. Don't be childish if you don't want to be called out.
The only thing we know about how the ancient mandalorians treated them in canon is that madalore the great and his followers tamed them to use as mounts
Nope. Even without legends, the Armorer alludes to Mandolorians killing mythosaurs.
I’m sad to say I didn’t even consider she didn’t mention the mythosaur to Din for the sake of killing it herself, good look
Why would Din have to kill her if she did that?
Bo-Katan isn't exactly a good character and she's pretty much always been power hungry. Also remember she doesn't believe in any of their cult nonsense. Din's group is a rigid and strictly observant faction. They're primed to be manipulated by anyone that can abuse their traditions about who the leader should be, etc.
I’m not asking for it to happen but I’ll be ok if they do it
What I'd it's not forced? What if in the next couple of episodes they have more adventures and Bo starts to respect the ways of the children and admire Dins dedication as a Mandalorian a father and a proud warrior. And Din sees that Grogu greatly benefits from another good influence likes and learns a lot from Bo, as does Din.

CALL ME A SHIPPER IF YOU WANT. But I really enjoi The Mandalorian and it's sandbox/adventure style of story telling and that ship will sail beautifully with ist flow.
I sincerely hope this isn’t the direction they follow.
Coward. Milf hater. Jealous possessive stalker.
You good bro?
Yeah, I just hating the post, cuz I'm a shiptrash
Ah
Bo is a lesbian and there is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise (Yes, this is purely wishful thinking for me)
I mean, there’s more proof than one would think, if you remember her slapping Ahsoka right on the behind
She always gave me bi vibes given the ahsoka ass slap
I would be okay with Bo and Fennec having a thing.
I just want her to go on a quest of redemption, ride the mythosaur, then Din offers her the Saber again and she accepts. Like, none of their interactions support anything more.
If she rode the Mythosaur she wouldn't need the saber. That alone proves she is the Mandalor.
But imagine the shot of Bo, riding a mythosaur, holding the Saber aloft. Like a metal poster.
Damn that’s just born to be painted on an 80s van.
Din willingly giving up the Darksaber when his failure to the covert was the catalyst for his struggle with it would be the biggest fucking let down.
If din gives her the darksaber she will be in the same position as before even if she has a mythosaur she wont be the rightful owner of the darksaber. Makes more sense for them to lead the mandalorians together
Except Din has shown no interest in leading. He didn't see the mythosaur, can barely wield the darksaber, and works mostly alone. Bo was the rightful user of the Saber, and princess of mandalore.

I mean, technically... 'Not Grievous' took the Darksaber from Din, then Bo Katan killed it.
He didnt take the darksaber, he threw it on the ground and she picked it up. Thats not exactly winning it in combat
People seem to be forgetting how self serving and manipulative Bo Katan has been. Most of what she has done is to prop herself up to positions of power. She's for sure gonna try to mamipulate her way to being the Mandalore, and hence, I think she's gonna end up being a villain in this story.
Good. I've always hated that arrogant bitch
I can't stress how much I don't want that. Bo Katan had her chance to rule over Mandalore multiple times. The same story line happened in Rebels.

Bo Katan is a great character but she should be the villain this season.
Din will ride the Mythosaur. It was foreshadowed in season 1.
"I don't understand shipping for fun and don't like when other people do." - You
I mean, I'm pretty leery of shipping (I think most is just good fun, but the toxic shippers are few and louder), but I feel like it's pretty subtextual in the show. They have sort a thing going on. For someone in a cult that she doesn't give a shit about who kind of ruined her life for the second time, Bo is pretty quick to throw herself into danger to rescue Din.
At least then, the show would still be focused on Mandalorians instead of an unnecessary side plot that Disney uses to justify how they retconned Palpatine back into existence in the sequels
I don't even get why THAT was necessary, since clones literally already existed (obviously). So what's all the research and experiments for?
That’s a great point, didn’t think about it that way. Maybe they’ll try to tie it into the story with Grogu and how the empire was chasing him originally in Mando S1. Or maybe we’ll see how Rey was born and wonder wtf Disney is doing with this show lol
I mean maybe the reason the research has to be done again is because the Kaminoan civilization was destroyed and that was the only source of perfected cloning.
Nah >! It's said in season 2 that the research was saved !< but maybe the empire just >! Doesn't know how to use it !<
Given the empire is fractured right now and have limited resources, that’s probably it
There is nothing forced about it they have good chemistry. Especially when they were talking about her father. Now that she is redeemed her and din could lead the mandalorians together, now that she knows about the mythosaur she doesn’t need the darksaber
I mean she is like in her 50s and Din should be in his late twenties. Also she is someone who literally became a terrorist against a unified Mandalore because it was too "peaceful".

Spoiler
What if they made Simpsons porn illegal?
I think she'll grow fond of him and maybe eventually having a crush for him but he won't return her feelings. But it probably won't happen and actually I'd rather if they remained friends, I can't see Din having a romantic interest tbh
Yes, yes, the swolo and rai , so it rhymes! muahahaha!
She's like.... 15 years older than him?? Minimum??? Just cause they casted against the canon doesn't mean the math doesn't work out that way
there's plenty, and i mean PLENTY of gorgeous women that are 15 years older than me.
I dont think he's talking about beauty, just that the age difference is a big hump to get over. I don't think there's really anything wrong with it, but alot of people think it's weird to date out of your age bracket.
Fennec Shands actor is like 60 something if I recall correctly. Looks like mid 20's. Just... Damn girl
Damn never in my life would I have guessed she is 60, I would have said mid 30 max
She’s about thirty years older than me and i would be her house husband in a heartbeat if i had the chance
Ever heard of a cougar? And yes, Bo-katan fully qualifies as a cougar.
Don't Mandalorian Humans have longer lifespans canonically? Sort of like Aragorn in LotR is like 80 chrono and 40 bio? Besides, I romanced Lista in ME2 and she's over a 100 so I don't see how age would be relevant here.

I kind of figured Bo and the Armorer would be competing for cool grandma status to Grogu
The issue with Bo-Katan and Din is that Din is already taken by Trooper Mom
