Is There a Connection Between Bo-Katan and The Armorer in THE MANDALORIAN
So far, The Mandalorian Season 3 has been absolutely fantastic! I’ve enjoyed every single bit of it, especially the story arc for Bo-Katan. I just love her journey right now and I can’t wait to see where it leads her.
The last episode of the series, “The Pirate” definitely got me and a lot of other fans thinking that there might be some kind of connection between Bo-Katan and The Armorer. In the episode, The Armorer asks Bo-Katan to take off her helmet and tells her that she can walk both worlds to unite the Mandalorian tribes. This is a very cool moment.
They then go before the rest of the Mandalorian tribe and announce their intention to retake their home planet of Mandalore.
As you know, The Armorer was very strict with Din Djarin when she found out he removed his helmet. So, this seemed to confuse fans about her apparent change of heart with Bo-Katan. That could be explained away if the two Mandalorian warriors actually know each other already.
One fan shared on Reddit: "I feel like Bo and the Armorer must have known each other previously or something. I don't think it's her sister, seeing as she's dead and all, but it's gotta be someone.”
Bo-Katan's sister is Satine Kryze, but her name has yet to be dropped. Satine was killed in The Clone Wars when Darth Maul took over Mandalore. Bo-Katan helped the Sith Lord with his dastardly deeds but she eventually had a change of heart and retook the planet with the help of Ahsoka Tano.
One theory that I’ve read is that Satine and Bo-Katan had another sibling. It’s explained: "There is a theory that Satine and Bo-Katan had another sibling (could be a brother, in which case the copium theory would be that the Armorer is their sister-in-law), and that is because of Korkie, who refers to Satine as his aunt (maybe to Bo as well, can't remember; Bo's definitely not his mom though). There are two other explanations though for this; Korkie might be an adoptive nephew (if such a thing exists), or the other theory is that he is in fact Obi-Wan and Satine's illegitimate son, and he is referred to as a nephew to avoid scandal while still benefiting from a royal/noble upbringing."
Korkie Kryze is a Clone Wars character whose true parentage has never been revealed. Another theory is that The Armorer could be Clone Wars character Rook Kast. She was involved in the Siege of Mondalore as a supporter of Darth Maul. She was eventually captured by Bo-Katan.
Another fan on Reddit said: "I still think it’s Rook Kast, mainly because of her helmet horns. It would be awesome if it's really her, especially because Bo imprisoned her once.” It’s believed that the helmet horns are inspired by the horns on Maul’s head.
If there is a connection between the two characters, then one day we’ll learn the identity of The Armorer, but right now all of this remains a mystery.
Do you think The Armorer and Bo-Katan have a connection with each other? If so, what do you think that could be!?
