BoKatan

Bo-Katan Kryze is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. A Mandalorian warrior and political leader, she appears across animated series and live-action projects as part of the Mandalorian resistance and the ongoing Mandalorian civil conflicts. She is a member of the Kryze family and the sister of Satine Kryze, the former Duchess of Mandalore.

In The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan leads the militant Death Watch, a faction that seeks Mandalore’s return to warrior traditions. She initially aligns with Pre Vizsla and later with Darth Maul, before turning against him. She plays a key role in efforts to retake Mandalore and to oppose Maul’s rule.

Bo-Katan reappears in Star Wars Rebels as a foil and ally who wields the Darksaber, the legendary Mandalorian blade symbolizing leadership. She leads efforts to unite the Mandalorian clans to reclaim Mandalore and to resist Imperial control, though the political path remains contested.

In live-action appearances portrayed by Katee Sackhoff, Bo-Katan appears in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, continuing her quest to restore Mandalore’s sovereignty and to determine who shall bear the Darksaber. Her presence shapes Mandalorian politics and the fate of Mandalore in the post-Empire era.

Bo-Katan has become a prominent figure in Star Wars discourse, illustrating tensions between pacifist and warrior traditions within Mandalorian culture and the enduring significance of the Darksaber as a symbol of leadership.
