To use D&D parlance, she is able to attune to the blade, whereas Din was not.I do find it a bit mean that they strung out Din wielding the blade across a number of episodes as if it was going to be his long-term, but I am pleased to see it back in Bo-Katan's hands, and I am eager to see her wield it in a fight against Moff Gideon ... and this time, she will win because she earned it the right way!Also, why did Din wait so long to give it back to her? (Was he just waiting for a dramatically opportune moment to present itself, or did it only just occur to him right then what had happened back on Mandalore?)Apparently the Quarren captain was played by somebody named Christine Adams, best known for starring in a show called Black Lightning. And the Mon Cal prince was voiced by Tom Holland's younger brother, Harry.Bryce's husband, Seth Gabel, voiced the bartender droid.My oldest daughter recognized the actress playing the lady in the droid morgue but couldn't remember her name. (EDIT: Her name is Jen Kober.)As much as I like Jack Black, when I first heard his voice, I'll admit I was filled with trepidation, but I have to say that I think he was admirably self-restrained and did not overdo it like I was expecting him to.I agree. It's fun to see some of this aftermath of the Clone Wars in action.Yeah, but as the nominal leader of that faction, Axe Woves would have been speaking for all of them.Bo-Katan also tells Boba Fett to his face that he's not a Mandalorian in season 2. (Of course, he replies, "I never said I was.") He also says that same thing about the quacta calling the stifling slimy that Christopher Lloyd's character says to Jack Black's.I think what we're seeing this season is that Bo-Katan has had a revelation and is moving away from the old prejudices of her culture. She may not fully adopt the ways of the cultists (and I certainly hope she doesn't), but she's coming to see that there is some value in the way they do things and that her mainstream culture has indeed "lost their way" to at least a certain extent. (For instance, placing a high value on genetic purity.)I'm guessing the Armorer no longer considers Bo-Katan a cautionary tale. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
