Boba Fett will Rule Mandalore in The Mandalorian (Season 2)

We got confirmation that Boba Fett’s dad, Jango Fett, was recanonized as a mandalorian foundling. Now in the episode, Boba shows proof that his armour has belonged to him and his father for a long time, for 25 years it’s been in his possession alone, as he ignites the hologram on his wrist which now has been decoded by a Star Wars fan on reddit, so all credit goes to Kinneroth and everyone else who confirmed it in the comments from his finding. Now I’ll explain what the code means: so here’s the code we got, and here’s what it actually read - foundling, confirming Fett was brought into the mandalorian creed via other mandalorians, Fett was born on Concord Dawn, his mentor was Jaster Mereel, where as here it’s cut off as Jaste but we can assume the last letter is an r. Father is Jango Fett and the armour belongs to Boba Fett.

Jango was a foundling on Concord Dawn, a surrounding world in the Mandalore sector. Long story short, Jango was the son of a farmer on Concord Dawn. A man named Jaster Mereel who was leader of the True Mandalorians, was on the run from a traitor named Tor Vizsla from Death Watch. Jango’s dad hid Jaster Mereel in his farm, and told Jango that he was feeding some homeless men. When Tor Vizsla came looking near Jango’s DAd’s farm, he found Jango’s Dad and beat him up infant of Jango, until Jango’s mom created a distraction and Jango ran for his life, leaving his parents who were immediately murdered, Fett ran into Jaster Mereel who eventually took the boy under his wing and recruited him in the Mandalorian Civil War against Death Watch, as one of the True Mandalorians. Jaster died eventually and Jango avenged him, becoming the leader of the True Mandalorians. Now the people who found Din, were death watch, so the two clans have always been waging wars against one another and have varying beliefs.

Now this means that the armour is like a ranking system, and it only helps that the coding proves he is the rightful owner of it, passed down from generation to generation. That means he’s the rightful leader of House Mereel, who was the leader of all the Mandalorians before the civil war. This would grant Boba a high clan status, as definitely clan fett, but also, clan Mereel, as Jaster Mereel was avenged by Jango Fett and his rightful heir, who then took his mentor’s place, becoming the ruler of mandalorians. the right to rule once again as the leader of Mandalore, and as such, to claim the dark saber for himself from Moff Gideon.

Well, this comes to how Jon Favreau will write the story for Boba. Maybe the right to rule Mandalore isn’t something Boba even cares for, as he said, he’s just a simple man making his way through the galaxy, but if they do decide to elaborate on the whole clan title, then theoretically, Boba would have a rightful shot as the ruler of Mandalore, since his dad was, and his dad’s mentor, aka, his adopted father sort of before the mandalorian civil war.

Now what I think could happen, is that there are two scenarios based around this theory. The first being, Boba dies in some last effort to save Grogu as per his promise to Mando, and in doing so allows Bo Katan to get a clear shot at Moff Gideon, killing him and taking the dark saber, owing her ruling of Mandalore to his sacrifice. Or, he straight up beasts Gideon and kills him in a trial by combat. Jango killed tons of Jedi in his hay day, this is why Dooku convinced palpatine to choose him as the Clone template for the grand army of the republic. The guy had skills unlike anyone else and he proved it time and time again. That whole incident of him dying to Mace Windu, was because of the jet pack he had that got crushed by the Reek in the arena on Geonosis. Otherwise, he would have stood a good chance at killing Mace, at least better than what happened. If you didn’t know, he tried to acitave his thrusters at the last second, but they were broken due to the beast’s attack, resulting in his death.
