Why Bo Katan REALLY Changed Factions in The Mandalorian Episode 3

in the mandaorian season 3 episode 3 we got bo katan joining the children of the watch. This of course is a big moment considering she has been devoted to being a nite owl for so many years. First having joined Pre Vizsla, she was a strong member of death watch, a warring faction of mandalorians who became disillusioned with the ways of the new mandalorians that they deemed to be too pacifist. As we saw in previous mandalorian seasons and just in episode 1 of this third season, she really wasn’t all for the children of the watch when mando told her about his quest to venture into the living waters below the mines on mandalore. She called it a bunch of superstition and never respected these outdated ways of not removing your helmet.
If you remember at the end of the episode, she was staring at the mythosaur skull on the wall and the credits rolled. She didn’t tell din about the mythosaur existing in the waters either. She is playing a game here, a game of chess and she knows that she will have to build a relationship with mandalorians in order to convert them to her cause once she rules mandalore either by way of dark saber or taming the mythosaur, dawning a new age of mandalorians. This new age would be her age of uniting all mandalorians under her way, one way, eliminating factions and keeping it to just one. from the dawn of time mandalorians with their dominant and aggressive nature have waged civil war on themselves just as much if not more than the wars they waged on the rest of the galaxy. I believe she would do a good job in rebuilding mandalore once she either gets the dark saber or mythosaur. I think she’s a good manipulator and opportunist where she would unite them under a common enemy. Such as remnants of the Imperial forces or a new emerging threat. This shared struggle could solidify their alliance and help bring the Mandalorians together. Once the Mandalorian factions are united, Bo-Katan would likely focus on rebuilding Mandalore, both physically and culturally. This could involve restoring the planet's infrastructure, reintroducing long-lost traditions, and reestablishing Mandalore's place in the galaxy. The only concern I would have if I were Bo, would be the factions that don’t support her leadership, like paz vizsla for example. Relative to pre vizsla, who was the leader of death watch, Bo eventually left his clan and deemed him too violent. I think Paz resents her for her betrayal. Even with a united Mandalore, Bo-Katan would likely face internal power struggles and challenges from other factions or individuals who might question her leadership. This could provide ongoing conflict and storylines in the show. I believe her affiliation with ahsoka tano could lead her to join her fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn, and with her Mandalorians on her side, it would surely be a great battle that would have to be explored in the ahsoka show and beyond.
Before digressing much more, I believe Bo Katan is very intelligent and for sure is just playing the game by faking her compliance with the children of the watch, despite thinking they are an absolute joke. I think the children of the watch have so much honour that they wouldn’t dare anyone to fake their true intentions, but Bo Katan, being a Nite Owl, isn’t so rigid like the others. She takes her helmet off and lets her hair blow in the wind, facing battle head on, wheareas the children of the watch led by the armorer, believe in their old and elitist ways as being the only possible way a mandalorian should live.
