The ships performing the bombing during the Night of a Thousand Tears flashback are called TIE/sa bombers. – The Imperial droids in the flashbacks are KX-series, previously seen in Rogue One represented by K-2SO and his Imperial brethren. This location has been the site of a Death Watch base, as seen in The Clone Wars. – The Armorer says her sect survived the bombardment because they weren’t on the planet itself, but rather on the moon Concordia. This takes place some time after the Republic takeover of the planet shown in The Clone Wars, which itself occurred mere hours before the Republic became the Empire. – This episode dramatizes the Night of a Thousand Tears, the Imperial bombardment of Mandalore. It’s spoken several times by Sabine on Rebels. – The language she uses during Din’s training is Mando’a, a partially constructed conlang popular among Expanded Universe Mandalorian fans. She says that by following Bo-Katan, the people of Mandalore lost their way. However, it’s important to remember that the Armorer is the head of a very small, orthodox Mandalorian religious group (possibly derived from the Death Watch from The Clone Wars, judging by their former base on Concordia), so she has very specific ideas about who should rule her people. The Armorer is suggesting that the way Bo-Katan acquired the weapon doomed not only her claim to the throne but also the entire planet. To be led by someone who didn’t win the Darksaber in combat also puts Mandalore itself in danger. According to Mandalorian myth, if you’re simply gifted the sword instead of earning it in battle, you’re doomed to fail as a ruler. B o-Katan Kryze, she says, didn’t win the saber “by creed.” She was instead gifted the blade (by Sabine Wren on Rebels), and therefore wasn’t the heir apparent either.
