Even though
Katee Sackhoff just appeared a few weeks ago as the
Mandalorian known as
Bo-Katan in the
Disney+ The Mandalorian live-action series, she is a character that has had tremendous influence in the
Star Wars Universe going all the way back to the
Clone Wars. The character first made her debut back in 2012 during the fourth season of
The Clone Wars animated series where she started out as a bad guy who was a thorn in the side of
Obi-Wan Kenobi and
Anakin Skywalker. The animated version of the character was actually voiced by
Sackhoff. She has also tussled with the likes of
Darth Maul and
Ahsoka Tano during various episodes of
The Clone Wars. In later seasons of
Clone Wars she switched sides and became more ally than bad guy, a story that continued into the
Rebels animated series where she developed connections with the likes of
Sabine Wren. On more than one occasion
Katan became the acknowledged leader of the
Mandalorian people and was the last person to be seen in possession of the
Dark Saber until we saw it pop up in the season one finale of
The Mandalorian where we saw
Moff Gideon have it.
There are even
rumors that
Katan will be appearing in the upcoming
Bad Batch animated series coming to
Disney+ in 2021.
So it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's only a matter of time before
Hasbro gives us a new
6" Black Series figure of
Bo Katan. Not only does she have a ton of history with obviously more story to come, she's just a cool looking female
Mandalorian. One does have to wonder about the aging process of
Mandaloran's, being
Katan is a character that has been around before the rise of the
Empire as well as after it's fall, and seemingly has changed little in age.
According to a report made by
YakFace, the code name being used by
Hasbro for
Bo Katan with retailers is
Cookies Macaroon and that they will definitely be doing a figure of her for their
Mission Fleet line. While I've not seen anything specifically yet, you know its only a matter of time before we see the character pop up for both
The Vintage Collection and
Black Series.
