Star Wars Mandalorian Darksaber Lightsaber Toy with Electronic Lights and Sounds, Star Wars: The Clone Wars for Children's Roleplay Ages 5 and Up

Product Information

What is special about this lightsaber besides the color, is the fact it has a white core, with purple glowing on the outside, following the exact look of most sabers seen in the movies. The Darksaber became part of the story again in the Rebels series. This series is set after the Sith Empire gained control of the Galaxy. A squad of some youngsters rebelled against the Empire. One of those rebels was Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian girl. Star Wars fans finally got to see the Siege of Mandalore play out thanks to The Clone Wars: Season 7. The Siege of Mandalore is the last of three major story arcs in that final season. While the final episodes don't show Din Djarin or other characters from The Mandalorian Season 1, it does reveal how Ahsoka Tano's good intentions in leading a Republic strike force to capture Darth Maul wound up opening Mandalore to Imperial occupation. With Ahsoka herself appearing in Season 2 (played by Rosario Dawson) and an Ahsoka Tano spinoff series announced, the franchise may explore Ahsoka's lingering guilt over her role in Mandalore's sad fate. A Knights of the Old Republic Connection

In this episode, Emily Swallow's character The Armorer speaks of the legends surrounding the Darksaber. According to her, when the owner of the Darksaber claims the blade through honorable combat, they become worthy of leading Mandalore into a brighter future. But if they're merely given the blade without proving their warrior prowess, the Darksaber becomes a curse that dooms all of Mandalore. This rule of strength eventually led to a very specific kind of complication, in the form of Darth Maul, who took interest in the Mandalorians around the time of the Clone Wars. Maul challenged Pre Vizsla, owner of the Darksaber and leader of the Death Watch, to a duel. When Maul won, the Darksaber became his. Pre Vizsla Image: Lucasfilm As a representation of House Vizsla’s and subsequently Death Watch’s authority, it was revered by the Mandalorians. In accordance with Mandalorian tradition, obtaining a Darksaber required defeating its prior owner in battle. Their claim would have been rejected if they had made it in any other manner. Bo-Katan, on the other hand, was welcomed by other clans when she took the Darksaber from Sabine Wren without engaging in combat—an act for which she would later be outcast. The Children of the Watch, one faction of Mandalorian society, held the Darksaber to be cursed and that if it was obtained outside of battle, it would bring about the downfall of Mandalore and its inhabitants. Usage Of Mandalorian DarksaberAs part of his retaliation against Kenobi, Darth Maul used the Darksaber to assassinate Duchess Satine in front of the Jedi master. This one also doesn’t include as many features as the other version. The hilt is not as detailed and slightly thinner than the elite version. It does come with a stand for display as well.

Even as The Mandalorian forges new links to projects like The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, it also makes an unexpected connection to a much more distant part of the Star Wars timeline. Emily Swallow's character, The Armorer, recalls the ancient battles between the Mandalorians and the Jedi, a conflict which directly set the stage for the 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.To get revenge on Sidious, Maul vowed to use the Darksaber to murder Dooku. When Dooku was set free by Maul, the two engaged in combat at the latter’s covert asteroid outpost with Mace Windu, obi-wan Kenobi, Tiplee , Aayla Secura,and their men. While Dooku was killing Tiplee, he next wielded the Darksaber on Secura and Windu. The ancient weapon becomes heavier as he continues to use it, and when he strained to hold it during the fight against Baiz’s goons, he accidently cut himself on his own leg while trying to hold it. Eventually, the Armorer also educated Djarin in the use of the weapon, informing him that he was battling against the weaponrather than his opponent. This made the weapon feel heavier in weight the more Djarin swung it, making him believe that he was actually struggling against the Darksaber itself.
