The Mandalorian's legendary Darksaber currently wielded by Din Djarin may be a weapon sourced from the dark side in the Star Wars galaxy. Given that lightsaber blade colors can correspond to the color of the kyber crystals housed within an interesting theory is formed when it comes to the incredibly unique Darksaber forged by the galaxy's first Mandalorian Jedi Tarre Vizsla. As such Din Djarin and those who have wielded the Darksaber before him may have actually been using an ancient dark side artifact.
Before Din Djarin inadvertently claimed the weapon in the finale of The Mandalorian season 2, the blade had been wielded by Moff Gideon Bo-Katan Kryze Sabine Wren Darth Maul Pre Vizsla and presumably other Mandalorians in Clan Vizsla dating all the way back to the Darksaber's creator. Interestingly Djarin initially struggled to embrace the power of the Darksaber which resulted in the blade resisting him and feeling heavier. The Darksaber may be powered by a rare black kyber crystal a unique color that signifies great power in the dark side of the Force.
The Darksaber Is Likely Powered By A Black Crystal
Considering the black color of the Darksaber's blade it stands to reason that the sword would have a black crystal. As such, this would explain the rarity of the Darksaber itself given the inherent rarity of the black crystal that powers it. Similar to the unique purple color of Mace Windu's lightsaber Tarre Vizsla's black bladed lightsaber falls outside the typical range of colors seen in the Jedi Order. However this supports the idea even further that there's a black crystal within the Darksaber which has been tainted by the dark side of the Force.
Based on this information it seems black kyber crystals are intrinsically tied to the dark side just like red kyber and Sith lightsabers. It stands to reason that a black piece of kyber within the Darksaber would by definition make the blade a tool of the dark side making it even more intriguing as to why a Jedi such as Tarre Vizsla created the unique weapon in the first place. However it potentially explains why the blade requires the wielder to submit to its power (and perhaps its influence). The Mandalorian season 3 can reveal more of the Darksaber's history in the Star Wars galaxy when it starts streaming on March 1st.
