Going back and watching some of my favorite episodes of Clone Wars and came across the episode where Maul and Opress took on and got brutalized by Sidious.
So if we go by Mando lore, to rule you had to have the dark sabre, to gain possession of the Dark Sabre you had to take it in combat.
So in the Clone Wars. Pre Vizla had the Dark Sabre, in effect he was the rightful ruler of Mandalore. though he lead the terrorist Death Watch. Maul took the Dark Sabre from him becoming the rightful ruler of Mandalore. Then Sidious comes to town. Kicks the crap out of Maul and ends up with the Dark Sabre. Which he quickly looks at, says Meh, pretty much throws it over his shoulder and walks out.
When Maul gets rescued, he eventually recovers the Dark Saber. then at somepoint he loses it and it ends up on Dathomir where Sabine recovers it. Eventually gives it to Bo, Who then surrenders it to Gideon. It goes to Mando, then the android worm thing, and Bo takes it.
At that point nobody but Sidious is actually the ruler of Mandalore, since its history after that is based around look who picked this thing off of the ground.

A couple of days after Dave Filoni confirmed that Thrawn will be the main villain in he New Republic Era, the name of the has next Star Wars movie has been announced.
I just wish so bad they could delete the Sequel movies and start fresh. So much awesome content Disney has created since they took over, but the movies are just so so so bad.

I don't think they can. To be honest, was there interesting enough lore to add to the Star Wars Universe.
Sure, the First Order if it hadn't been emasculated in the second movie, was actually a good concept. The question of what would happen if the most dedicated hardcore nazi's fled to Brazil after WW2 and hid out of sight. Its an interesting concept.
But the rest of the Lore was non existent and to me, the new characters, the ones that they tried to hand the candle too, though they put in decent acting performances were just not that interesting.
The other problem is trying to follow up villains like Vader and Palpatine is just a daunting task, and Snoke while he was interesting in the first movie was a red shirt in the second, and they didn't make Kylo all that interesting.
As maligned as the prequels are, and they should be maligned, I thought had some really interesting world building.
While the Clone Wars and Rebels were terrific shows in terms of fixing a lot of things in the prequels. The attempt by Disney to do the Sequels with for example Resistance kind of failed. Mando is attempting some salvage of the sequels, but they're not pushing it.
I think Disney's best strategy, would be to ignore the sequels and build around them. That's why I'm skeptical of a Rey movie.
Its a big galaxy to play in with a massive time line, I wish they'd jump a few hundred years ahead or a few thousand years behind.

Well, we are supposed to be getting a movie regarding the origins of the Jedi... or was it the discovery of the Force? Eitherway, it is movie thousands of years into the past.
Disney announces they are going to permanently close Star Wars Galactic Starcrusier at Walt Disney World. The immersive and interactive, 2 night simulated space cruise set in the Star Wars Universe was initially enticing to Star Wars fans when the concept was announced but dropped in demand when Disney's execution didn't live up to expectations for the price.

The audience for that too would rather spend that money travelling to Celebration than the hotel I suspect.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

It was $5,000 for a 2 night stay for a couple. $6,000 for a family of four. Really bad timing for something like that heading into Covid and then a recession.
The sad thing is in my mind the concept was a really good idea. A hotel that was a interactive star ship. They had multiple story lines that you could actively participate in.
Watching videos, the people that attended had a really good time.
You include a port o call for shopping and such. Pack it full of good and unique food and liquor and have actual characters walking around, and it shouldn't have failed.
Except the cost. A lot of people just really can't afford it, and people are always going to say for the money your not getting enough unless your getting sexually serviced by Han Solo or Leia or Chewbacca or whatever floats your boat.
I would have loved to try it, but that cost is way too much.
Plus its really a one time visit experience. While they changed small things. The story and activities didn't change much.
I had this idea years ago, of building a kind of hotel like this for about 100 people, and make it a functional star ship, and people sign on to play actual roles. And you combine things like laser tag in it, flight simulators for shuttle pilots and fighter planes, people that want to play engineers can do engineer things. People that want to fly the ship or fire the guns can take those roles.
But the initial expense was huge.

Again...the problem stemmed from the fact that it was a horrifically enormous expense so the cost to the users was insane.
I also get the impression that as costs started to snowball they started to cut corners, so now you're got this horrendously expensive thing that looks cheap.
And, this is just an uninformed personal opinion, but I think their Return on Investment projections were just way, way off.
This was a pretty neat idea, but if you price it try and pay off in 5 years...well, its going to fail, as we've seen, if you price it to pay off in 20 years, then you might get people who can afford it and spend money in the rest of your park as well for a couple decades.
Its not like Disney couldnt float the cost.
