Man Giancarlo Esposito REALLY went all out with that Sabre combat. No wonder he ended up breaking like 5 of the prop sabres. Props to him for going 1000% at 62 years old like that.

[leontran]

Crew: “Stop breaking the prop sabres !”
Giancarlo: “THIS IS THE WAY”

[lorenzwinterhoff]

Din has A pure beskar suit of armor and helmet, a pure beskar spear, a rising phoenix jetpack (at least coated in beskar or it wouldn't take the hit Gideon tries to surprise on Din), and the dark saber. Dude isn't holding just the most powerful melee weapon, he IS the most powerful weapon in the galaxy.

The mandalorion proves that both Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, Dave himself, can run lucas film as ceos and directors, not Kathleen Kennedy

I don’t think Luke was a “lifelong duelist” either. He’d only been using a saber for less than a decade at that point.

The mandalorian religion: this saber is known as the darksaber who ever wields it becomess the ruler of of the mandalorian people
Dyn jarin wields the darksaber: whut

[santimagine]

Din: Here you go
Bo-katan: refuses*
Gideon: she has to battle you
Din: I yield
Bo-katan: refuses*
Gideon: it has to be won in battle
Din: throws saber to gideon*
Bo-katan: flashes red eyes*

I wanna see Luke’s reaction to seeing Boba still alive

Okay so when he says "It's overheating the material to the point where it could break"

This is really showing lack of understanding of materials and what glowing hot means.

By no means does the fact the Beskar start to glow from the heat mean the material is weakening or ready to break. It just means the material is getting hot. Tungsten can get glowing hot and still be hard and unmoving to hammer strikes and remain immutable.

Metal that is glowing hot is not an indicator of the materials actual resistance and if it will give out, it just happens when it gets hot enough. If the melting point is high enough metal can glow white hot and still not bend or warp.

It’s got a special black Kyber crystal and was made by the most war worthy race there has been; the Mandalorians.

Setting aside the canonical lore of the light saber. Just speaking from the shape of a light saber alone the traditional one that the Jedi and Sith uses are pole like with pointy end or round end (depending on which show or movie of course), the dark saber has an actual property of a bladed weapon as you can see from the point of ignition where the plasma blade comes from is rectangular compared to the traditional lightsaber circular ignition point. Meaning the blade of a dark saber is "sharp" due to its narrow edge compared to the traditional design. This would mean more energy will be directed towards its sharp edge. Adding this with how hot plasma is, it would make sense that a dark saber would heat beskar faster compared to a traditional one.

Darksaber: "I'm the strongest weapon there is!"
Beskar Spear: "Hold my beer."

[TheSuperSquad]

I think it's because it's thinner and looks sharper, like the blade can focus on cutting more easily

My dad is so cool.
He doesn't like Los Pollos Imperiales
Neither do I

[korthalas]

Did this guy really just extend "It's hotter than Ashoka's lightsaber" to 8 minutes? Also, it being the most powerful saber is a complete assumption; We don't know the quality of Ashoka's sabers and just like all weapons, lightsabers probably vary.

[Nick-fyb]

It’s made to stab through mandalorian armor hence the focused blade that’s shaped

[mediamixer]

I would like to point out that the spear survived a explosion from getting hit by that light Cruisers orbital Cannon

Vader: He gets it from his old man

I love that the dark saber became more than “ ItS bLaCk So ItS eViL “

[MehrGills]

It was made to fight mandalorians, as it was built by a mandalorian. They often seem to fight themselves, so you wouldn't have a weapon ineffective against them.
