Katee Sackhoff talks to Deadline.com about Bo-Katan’s desire for the Darksaber, what happened to the Nite Owls, and if we’ll see the character in the upcoming Disney+ Ahsoka series.
DEADLINE: Going back to the first episode of this season — why isn’t she fighting for the darksaber? When we first saw her introduced in Season 2, she wants that sword, and she begins this season in this cynicism.
KATEE SACKHOFF: We have to go back to see why she’s doing what she’s doing. This is a person who has fought, fought against her own people. She’s fought forever and she realizes that doesn’t work. You can’t continue to fight amongst yourselves. I think with Din — I don’t know if I’ll go as far as to say that she respects and trusts him — but she doesn’t not. He’s done nothing. If didn’t have the darksaber, he’s done nothing that would make him her enemy. I think that is her problem is that she realizes that she’s not going to fight her people anymore. She’s not going to fight someone who she doesn’t have a reason to fight. Every single possibility, every place that she’s at right now, every direction she’s done before didn’t work before. That’s what she’s trying to figure out.
DEADLINE: What happened to Bo-Katan’s posse, the Nite Owls?
SACKHOFF: She says that they abandoned as soon as she returned without the darksaber. I think these are people who thought Bo would do anything to lead, that Bo would fight anyone to lead, and that’s what she wanted and that’s why they were following her. And when they saw something in her that they didn’t respect, they left. She lost her people, her home, she lost her family, she lost everything.
She’s says that they’re making their way across the galaxy as bounty hunters, as mercenaries. They’re off making money, doing what Mandalorians stereotypically do.
DEADLINE: Is Bo-Katan going to be in Ahsoka?
SACKHOFF: (Laughs) I can’t reveal anything. But, no, as of right now I’m not in Ahsoka.
