That was inevitable. That’s why they have to be so careful how or even if they use him from now on. For myself and kind of a majority. He took over. Does anyone even remember the rest of the episode? I do because I’ve watched it umpteen times. But joe public hasn’t. Vast swathes of Star Wars fandom both sides, haven’t.
They have to tread carefully now if they plan on using him again.
That finale doc was great but…those Luke effects are even worse than I remember. And they even said they were going down the deep fake route and changed their minds! Some of those work in progress shots of the deep fake looked better than the finished product. WHYYYYYYYY
This decision sits right alongside the choice Lucas made in casting Jake Lloyd as Anakin instead of that clearly superior blonde kid shown in The Beginning documentary in the Hall of Fame of Bad Star Wars Decisions (Greedo shooting first rounds out the top 3).
Dark side of fandom gets its way once again and fucks up Star Wars for everyone.
‘Well to be honest with you, I was already in discussions about something on – it wasn’t The Mandalorian – something Star Wars-affiliated,’ Lawless said.
‘It might have hurt me in some way, because then they couldn’t hire me because it would seem to be pandering to… I’m just guessing here, I don’t know anything, but in some ways, it can be unhelpful, because if they pander to this fan group, then how are you going to pander to every other fan group, do you know what I mean?’

The only way to get the Dark Saber is through battle. They can't just take it. Why would they take his armor? That's not what makes a Mandalorian. Look no further than Boba Fett. Also, as far as that cult is concerned even Bo Katan isn't Mandalorian for the same reason that Din isn't.

They are extremists.
They don't have any control over Boba Fett and Bo Katan, but they could have told Djarin to turn in his armor.
