How was Dunes sifting away, explained away?
However, he still has scuffles with ruffians, like a bunch of squid-looking pirates, who come through.

Din and Greef shoot most of them down letting one of them, named Vane, go.
Greef tells Mando he needs a good marshal now that Cara Dune is gone.
Greef tells Din, After she brought in Moff Gideon, she was recruited by special forces.

There are several Mandalorians (like, many) standing around for this ritual whereby the incumbent is helmeted.
Again, key words here in this baptism is that the young cub will never remove his helmet.
Why, is this a flashback from when Din was inducted into the tribe?
Sure looks like it.
It was never a flashback.
As we know, thats the only way Din can be forgiven for the sin of going helmet-less.
Redemption is not possible since the destruction of our home world, says the Armorer.
And Din is all, Well, Ill show you.
I need a droid I can trust to explore Mandalore, Din tells Greef.
Din attempts to shoot him, but its the gold bust of Greef that falls on IG-11s head.
Din says hell return with the part.
Theres a Mandalorian castle, which he enters, and sitting on the throne is Bo-Katan.
In the Dave FiloniStar Warscartoons, she gets possession of the Darksaber.
The person who has the Darksaber rules Mandalore.
After the Empire destroys Mandalore, Bo-Katan lost possession of the Darksaber.
Din enters her throne room and announces Im here to join you.
Theres nothing left to join, Bo-Katan answers.
What are your plans to retake Mandalore?
When I returned without the darksaber my forces melted away, Bo-Katan responds defeated.
Where is the stolen fleet?
asks Din about her posse.
Making their way through the galaxy as mercenaries, she says.
Do you still have the saber?
She doesnt budge from her throne.
I do, says Din.
Thats odd,considering she was hellbent on getting it from Gideon last season.
Then you lead them, Bo-Katan tells Din, Wave that thing around, theyll do whatever you say.
Din is befuddled by the fact that Bo-Katan has given up her desire to retake Mandalore.
Your cult gave up on Mandalore long before the forge, she responds coldly.
Din asserts his desire to go to the Mandalore hot springs, but Bo-Katan exclaims Youre a fool.
you’re free to never go home, Mandalorian.
Its a broken place.
But, hes too thick skulled.
Din rebuts, I will find out if the planet is really poisoned.
