Why can't the Mandolarian control the Darksaber?

Why does the Darksaber gets heavier with every swing?

Those who have no control over their thoughts and feelings will have a harder time wielding the Darksaber as their inner troubles seep into the blade and weigh it down. Also the Darksaber himself was opposed to serving Mando because Mando had no desire to serve the good of Mandalore. He is not embracing his destiny and is willing to give it away to Bo-Katan.

Can the Darksaber cut through everything like a lightsaber?

Indeed the Darksaber can cut through any object just like lightsabers can; however, even though the Darksaber is just another lightsaber, its color and the way it reacts to materials are what make it unique. In canon, the Darksaber can pull the other lightsaber blade towards him, almost like a gravity well.

Does the Darksaber have a Kyber crystal?

The Darksaber is one of the most fascinating weapons introduced to Star Wars fans. Given its unique appearance, it is a common misconception that the Darksaber does not have a Kyber crystal. However, this is not true. The Darksaber would not be effective for a Force user if it weren’t for the crystal.

How much does the Darksaber weigh?

It is said to be like Excalibur, weighing 40 to 50 pounds. A Mandalorian named Sabine Wren stole the Darksaber. She is actually the one who explains why, exactly, the Darksaber is so difficult. In an episode of Star Wars: Rebels, she notes, “Energy is constantly flowing through the crystal.”

In certain scenarios the dark sword is stronger because it is heavier, which allows the owner to deliver stronger blows.

Why does the Darksaber get heavier as you use it?

After Sabine notes that the Darksaber is deceptively heavy, Kanan notices that energy follows through the blade, the wielder channeling its current of power. The lord’s thoughts and actions flow into the Darksaber to fuel that energy, affecting the weight of the blade.

Will din Djarin learn to use the Darksaber?

Din Djarin won the Darksaber from Moff Gideon in the second season finale of The Mandalorian. When Din returned in The Book of Boba Fett, he continued to wield the Darksaber and maintained his claim to it, even when challenged to a fight by fellow Mandalorian Paz Vizsla. But the Darksaber has a will of its own. And so far Mando has not been able to really master the weapon.

Why couldn’t the Mandalorian wield the Darksaber?

Since the Darksaber’s sentience entwined its fate with the rulers of Mandalore, Mando’s rejection of the role meant that their wills could never be aligned. That’s why he has so many problems with the weapon: it doesn’t want to be wielded by a selfish bounty hunter who doesn’t care about Mandalore.

It also reacts to its owners feelings. And Din came to both his battles with the Darksaber preoccupied by his thoughts of Grogu, whom he had last left in Luke Skywalker’s care at the end of The Mandalorian season two. This is potentially what caused the Darksaber to feel so heavy to him when he picked it up in battle.

How did Mando burn himself with the Darksaber?

As skilled as the Mandalorian is with most weapons, he is clearly not skilled with the Darksaber; the ancient weapon grows heavier as he wields it, and during one battle he accidentally cuts a bit of his own leg. He struggles with the weight of the blade, going so far as to accidentally burn himself on the thigh while swinging it around the battle.

Who can wield the Darksaber?

Tarre Vizsla was the first Mandalorian ever accepted into the Jedi Order. The weapon he left behind reflects the man who built it, a fusion of two great cultures. Although little is known about Tarre, he was probably the strongest wielder of the Darksaber.

So how could Moff Gideon wield a Darksaber? It was about having a warlike, domineering ideal, and Moff Gideon definitely displayed that attitude when he was ruler of Mandalore, making him the perfect wielder of the Darksaber. To see more of the Darksaber, watch the season 1 finale of The Book of Boba Fett.

How does Moff Gideon gets the Darksaber?

The dark sword was passed down and wielded by Darth Maul and later Moff Gideon. It is not yet explained how Gideon acquired the sword but it is rumored Gideon took possession of the weapon around 9 ABY. This is most probably a story for later…
