The female blacksmith was referring to the Jedi which was also acknowledged in Star Wars Rebels when the busted out an impulse lasso to offset Force Push/Pull during the Jedi's war with the Mandalorians

The Jedi fought the Mandalorian civilization because they made war with everyone.

Disney deliberately withheld the merchandising because they didn’t want to ruin the surprise and fight the Twitter Trolls before a single episode even aired.

They knew it would be a smash, which is why Season Two was Greenlit and written long before Season One even aired.

The demand for “Baby Yoda” merchandising isn’t expected to wane because it wasn’t available for Christmas 2019. It’ll be available ahead of Season 2 and will likely be in greater demand during the 2020 Christmas season.

Lol

:thumb: thanks for the explanation. I figured there was no way Disney would miss a trick to print more money. They were just playing the long game.

I took that as the jedi.

And was that the legendary darksaber?

Hence, believing that Sabine Wren's clan were victims of mass genocide.

The Dark Sabre is sacred to Mandalorians

Yea I think your right. It was interesting how they hid the baby Yoda thing in all the pre debut marketing and buildup.

I took it, that "Baby Yoda" had a bounty, so everyone the Mado tracks with a bounty, is his enemy.

Nah. The blacksmith was talking about how another of his race used the force in their destruction. She meant Yoda and/or Jedi.

Sabine gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan Kryze, sister to the late Duchess Satine Kryze, former leader of Mandalore. Bo-Katan then united clans Eldar, Kryze, Rook and Viszla under her banner. So it's likely that Gideon wiped out pretty much everyone, not just Clan Wren.

And as far as we know, Sabine (and Ahsoka) is still out there trying to find Ezra. She might not even know what's happened to the Mandalorians.

I'm wondering if The Tribe is some obscure Mandalorian religious cult. When dealing with the Jawas he mentions that 'weapons are my religion', the Armorer calls everything she makes him these flowery names, and they never take their helmets off. I'd need to re-watch Clone Wars to be sure, but I don't remember Mandalorians on that show or on Rebels behaving like that.

I wonder how the show will dictate the narrative if Baby Yoda is trained Mandalorian and Jedi. Since Anakin's light sabre called to Rey then the Dark Sabre will do the same with Baby Yoda when the time beckons

none of this is happening

jon favreau isn't a hamfisted moron like JJ

baby yoda will likely remain...baby
