The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 6 Ending Explained
At the end of The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 6, we see Bo-Katan, Din Djarin and Grogu meet the Mandalorian troop in the presence of Koska Reeves and Axe Woves. Bo-Katan gets into a situation with her former companion Axe Woves, who says that the troop isn’t hers anymore when she asks back for it. This instigates Bo-Katan to challenge Axe to one-on-one combat with the prize being that the winner will be the leader of the fleet.
Although Axe loses the combat, he brings up the fact that only the wielder of the Darksaber can truly be the leader of the fleet and the people of Mandalore. With Din Djarin not being a Mandalorian, his owning the Darksaber does not matter as he cannot rule over the people. But, Din ends up revealing how the Darksaber has been used by Bo-Katan to slay the monster we saw in the previous episodes, essentially defeating the enemy of the owner of the Darksaber.
Thus, we find out that Bo-Katan becomes the wielder of the Darksaber making her the new leader of the fleet. Does this mean that she is also the ruler of Mandalore? Well, it would mean so. But, the planet is infested by pests and getting rid of those seems more important at this point to make sure Bo-Katan is the ultimate ruler of Mandalore.
