Din is struggling with the darksaber because he is "fighting against the blade" and trying to control it with his physical strength alone. He hasn't got the right mindset to wield it properly. ("Your body is strong but your mind is distracted." "I am focused." "The blade says otherwise.") I would say he's still distracted - he's too busy thinking about how he must atone for his sins. And he's still in a follower mindset.While Sabine might not have wanted to rule Mandalore, she clearly had the right mindset - and she had some Jedi to help her. Din only has a traumatized youngling.Bo-Katan also clearly has the right mindset (and no doubt has some dark side points from when she was a terrorist with Death Watch).EDIT: The question is - will Din learn how to wield the darksaber properly and become a leader of his people, or will Bo-Katan challenge him for it and earn the right to wield it legitimately and be the one to reunite her people? Could be a case of "third time's the charm" for her.</blockquote>
