re: The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale Chapter 16 (NOW WITH SPOILERS)

The dark saber is Mandalorian or does it give power to anyone?

It gives the power to someone who wins it in combat. Bo-Katan rejects that Maul earns this power, so she likely sees it as something only a Mandalorian can earn.

It is transferred among a few owners after Maul- Sabine, Gar Saxon, back to Sabine, and then back to Bo Katan. The rightful ownership in this sense is a bit iffy... Since she (Sabine) didn’t obtain it through combat, I suppose its not something that stands up to tradition and it can be passed along. Gar Saxon steals it from Sabine and makes her fight him for it, but I think in that case its not really his right to do that and somehow lay claim over it. After all this happens, Sabine gives the saber to Bo Katan.
