It must be a unique one!I don't remember there being a ringworld in the Clone Wars. But that's OK. I'll get over my initial reaction here.EDIT: Apparently this ringworld is known as <a href="https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Glavis" target="_blank">Glavis</a>.I think it's meant to be a psychological/spiritual thing. Since it's a lightsaber, it's attuned to the Force. Even if you're not a Force-wielder, you still kind of have to get in the right mental/spiritual zone (aka become attuned to it) in order to be able to wield it properly. Otherwise it "fights" you, thus making it feel heavy.For one thing, I think we may be placing too much power in the Armorer's words. She is clearly a biased narrator. There's a lot of sense in what she says about Bo-Katan but that could also just be, like, her opinion, man. Bo-Katan, in turn, has plenty of biases of her own. She was pretty dismissive of Din's cult, despite it being an offshoot of Death Watch (which she was part of in her youth), and she was downright hostile toward Boba Fett. She's also got clear aristocratic leanings.I think this just goes to show how tribal the Mandalorian culture still is, even after the Imperial purge. They fought each other so much in previous millennia that they ruined their homeworld's ecosystem (which is why they're seen living in enclosed bubble cities in the Clone Wars and is the impetus for Bo-Katan's sister Satine's push toward pacifism) and severely damaged their colony world of Concord Dawn (which is where Jango Fett became a foundling incidentally).Sabine mastered it, didn't she? And she's not (yet) been shown to be Force sensitive. And the Armorer seemed to think Din could master it. He just needed to get his mind/spirit sorted out. I expect the showrunners are building up to Din becoming the new ruler of Mandalore.</blockquote>
