So, they’re all about bringing back the “good ol’ days” (eye roll), when Mandalore was just a big ol’ planet of kicking butt and taking names. Pre Vizsla, this dude with a sweet darksaber, leads ’em. He’s got this whole “Make Mandalore Great Again” vibe going on. Which, okay, maybe they had a point, but their methods? Total overkill.
They’re straight-up terrorists, basically. Blowing stuff up, causing chaos, all to destabilize Satine’s government. Like, come on, guys, isn’t there a *slightly* less murdery way to go about this? I dunno, maybe try, like, a strongly worded letter? (Just kidding… kinda.)
And then things get *really* crazy. Remember Darth Maul? Yeah, *that* Darth Maul. He shows up with his brother, Savage Oppress, and suddenly Death Watch is all in bed with *Sith*. Which, let’s be real, is never a good idea. I mean, teaming up with Sith? That’s just asking for trouble. And boy, do they get it.
Maul, being Maul, totally uses them to his own advantage. He takes over Death Watch, basically ousting Vizsla (RIP, buddy), and then they become Maul’s personal army. It’s a whole power grab thing, and it gets REALLY messy. Like, betrayal, backstabbing, the whole shebang.
Honestly, the whole Death Watch arc is just a reminder that, like, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. These guys started with, maybe, some legitimate grievances (again, maybe), but they ended up being puppets for a Sith Lord. It’s a sad story, really. Shows you that sometimes, “going back to the good ol’ days” ain’t always the best plan. Especially when it involves teaming up with a dude who got cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Just sayin’.
