Rumor has it The Mandalorian Season 3 premiere on February 22, 2023. But before that, many fans are re-watching season 2 to revisit old plot points before embarking on the upcoming season. And a question has emerged in Star Wars fan circles: Now that Din Djarin has the Darksaber, how many Jedi can he defeat with it? And what popular Jedis can he face now? The answer to this will definitely shock you.
Which and how many Jedis can the Mandalorian defeat with the Darksaber?
Tarre Vizsla
In season 2 we saw Din Djarin get Tarre Viszla, the first Mandalorian Jedi black saber after defeating Moff Gideon in the final. Then when we saw him again in The Book of Boba Fett, he kept his saber claim by beating Paz Viszla, one of the descendants of Tarre Viszla.
Now that he’s faced opponents, the next question on everyone’s mind is: how many Jedi can he defeat with the Darksaber? And what popular lightsaber users can it take on? Now the answer to that is actually zero. It’s because he still doesn’t know how to handle the sword properly. In fact, he sliced his leg in a fight with the Klatoonian manager’s muscle team in Boba Fett’s Book.
Din Djarin and the Armorer
So he doesn’t have full control. This is a point that the Armorer reiterates to him as well. When Din Djarin the fight, he feels the Darksaber getting heavier. The Armorer explains that this is because he is not one with the Darksaber. And that’s why he doesn’t follow her wishes. Since he can’t even wield it properly, there’s no way he’ll be able to fight half-trained Force-controlling Jedi and their lightsabers.
It should also be remembered that he did not achieve a clear victory in the fight with Paz Viszla. In fact, it was Viszla who was going to win. But he made the mistake of taunting Din saying he was going to wipe out his clan. And who are there in the clan of Din? Only Grogu. So it was a threat to Grogu’s life that drove Mando to defeat Paz.
But Din can’t rely on anger and threats in every fight. Until he has the Darksaber under his control, there’s a good chance he’ll lose to any opponent, let alone the Jedi.
How can Mando win a fight with a Jedi?
Mandalorian War
If he wants to win a fight against a Jedi using his darksaber, he will have to practice more with his weapon and learn how to control it. This will likely be a major plot point in Season 3. But he doesn’t necessarily need the Darksaber to fight the Jedi. After all, his Mandalorian gear can give him an edge in a battle with a Jedi.
His beskar armor that can withstand lightsaber stabs, whistling birds, and spear (which is now gone) will help him take on the Jedi. After all, Mandalorian technology was specifically developed to take on lightsaber users.
What do you think? Are there any Jedi that Mando can defeat at this stage of training with the Darksaber? Let us know.
