First cite inThe Mandalorianseason 1 premiere , the Great Purge has been referenced several times throughout the show ’s run . The concept of the Great Purge was that the Empire realise they would never be capable to truly rein Mandalore or its people , and so rather wiped them out .
As a result , the Great Purge act as the Mandalorian equivalent of Order 66 , in which most of the Jedi Order was killed . That may have been before the Empire rose to astronomic exponent , but the last solution is more or less the same : removing a knock-down opposition , and sending what ’s impart of their people take flight across the coltsfoot , reduced to conceal in the shadows . This has been explore throughThe Mandalorianincluding time of year 3 episode 7 , revealing more survivors of the Great Purge than was first thought .
Din Djarin & Grogu
The middle ofThe Mandalorian , Din Djarin is the audience ’s launching distributor point to the Great Purge , and to understanding more about Mandalorian history and culture as a whole . A child during The Clone Wars , Din was rescue from a breakaway onrush by a member of Death Watch , a Mandalorian group who conceive in their honest-to-goodness warrior custom . Din was raised as a Child of the Watch , subscribing to the room of the Mandalore .
As discover inThe Mandalorianseason 3 , episode 7 , the Children of the Watch were hidden away onMandalore ’s synodic month of Concordiaduring the Great Purge . This allow them to survive the Empire ’s assault , admit Din . This led to the various hidden coverts of the Children of the Watch seen throughoutThe Mandalorian’sthree seasons , explaining how both the Watch and Din come through the Night of a Thousand Tears . In terminal figure of Grogu , the Foundling is now seen as an honorary Mandalorian in the eyes of the Watch , imply he is technically a retroactive survivor of the Great Purge as he was active when the atrocity call for place .
The Armorer
Like Din Djarin , the Armorer is a phallus of the Children of the Watch , act as the grouping ’s spiritual drawing card . Unsurprisingly , she ’s evince to be a skilled warrior , and has much groovy knowledge of astronomical chronicle than Din Djarin , informing him of the ancient society of sorcerers viewers know as the Jedi . While much of the Armorer ’s backstory is unknown outside of her role in the Children of the Watch , she was the one to unveil how she and her follower survived the Great Purge , by being safely hidden on Concordia .
Paz Vizsla
Another appendage of the Children of the Watch who survived the Great Purge , Paz Vizsla is depicted as being the Mandalorian among them who was most deeply touch on by it . As shown by his confrontation with Din Djarin inThe Mandalorianseason 1 , he has a inscrutable - seated hatred for and distrustfulness of the Empire and anything to do with them after the reveal that Mandalore was all but destruct by the Empire while Paz survived with his tribesman on Concordia .
This was again revealed inThe Mandalorianseason 3 , instalment 7 , with Paz showing his disdain for the Empire ’s fire on Mandalore . When vanish above the planet , Paz remarked that he was not aware of how bad of a state Mandalore was left in . This prove that , while many Mandalorians lost their life story during the Great Purge , the Children of the Watch were slightly unaware of its effects on the satellite as a whole as bear witness by Paz who heroically founder his life inThe Mandalorianseason 3 episode 7 ’s ending .
Bo-Katan Kryze
Having antecedently appeared inStar war : The Clone WarsandStar Wars Rebels , Bo - Katan Kryze made her alive - action debut inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 3 , " Chapter 11 : The Heiress " , work the titulary role . Bo - Katan , like the members of the Tribe in season 1 , references the Great Purge , although this clock time with stronger implications that she was very active during it . Thanks to the case ofStar Wars Rebels , Bo - Katan was awarded the Darksaber and became the Mandalore , the leader of the Mandalorians which dally a significant part in Bo ’s experience during the Great Purge .
As was break inThe Mandalorianseason 3 , installment 7 , Bo - Katan was present on Mandalore when the tone-beginning began . As a mean value of saving her people , Bo - Katan surrendered to Moff Gideon , resulting in him taking the Darksaber from her . Gideon , however , betrayed Bo . After promising that the citizenry of Mandalore would be safe should she surrender , Gideon continued with his racial extermination and all but decimated the Mandalorians .
Koska Reeves
innovate alongside Bo - Katan inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 3 , Koska Reeves is another confirmed survivor of the Great Purge , although less is known about her at this degree . Clearly a highly - trained and skilled warrior , it ’s likely that she ’s been with Bo - Katan as a member of her Nite Owls ever since the Great Purge happened , perhaps becoming a fellow member when the ranks of Mandalorians were depleted . Like Bo - Katan , Koska has no issues with removing her helmet , rather than subscribing to the Way of the Mandalore like the Children of the Watch do . She also similarly has the trademark puritanic beskar armor , further marking her tie .
Axe Woves
The third of the Mandalorians to come out alongside Bo - Katan and Koska Reeves inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , once again little is known about Axe Woves ' backstory . However , as with Koska , it can be assumed that he has been with Bo - Katan either since or briefly after the Great Purge , which in all probability require them sticking together more tight . The Nite Owls is traditionally an all - female group , so Axe seemingly is n’t an official member , but he nonetheless works closely with them and has well - established family relationship with both Bo - Katan and Koska .
Axe Woves ’ journey has been developed fairly inThe Mandalorianseason 3 . While not confirming precisely how he survived the Great Purge , Axe reveals to Paz during season 3 , installment 7 that he was on the satellite when the attack commence . This is likely a great rootage of hurt for Axe and solidify his abstract thought for repay Bo - Katan in reclaiming Mandalore .
Sabine Wren
Few Mandalorian characters have been as well fleshed - out as Sabine Wren , who was among the main characters ofStar Wars : Rebels . Born into the noble Clan Wren , Sabine once claimed the Darksaber for herself , taking it from Gar Saxon , before ultimately choosing to pass the weapon to Bo - Katan , stimulate her the true leader of the Mandalorians . This was just before the onset of the Galactic Civil War , which explains why Bo - Katan was the leader of Mandalore when Gideon attacked the satellite .
While Sabine has n’t appeared inThe Mandalorianthus far , her survival of the Great Purge was confirmed by the end ofStar warfare : insurrectionist , which showed her after the Battle of Endor . Since that was the fall of the Empire , and the Great Purge took place when the Empire was in baron , then she must have survived . The reality is that Sabine ’s new class in the Ghost crew established inStar Wars Rebelswas in all probability a big factor as to why she survived the Purge , as she was potential not present on the planet at the time due to her insurrection activities taking precedency over her jolly turbulent Mandalorian dedication .
Boba Fett
Revealed as a true Mandalorian Foundling inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , Boba Fett is another character who survived the Great Purge . From what has been unveil about the Great Purge thus far , it seems the result was for the most part centered on the satellite of Mandalore itself , which is n’t somewhere Boba Fett would have shop . As designate in the originalStar Warstrilogy , Boba worked as a heavy weapon for hire rather than involving himself in the politics of Mandalore , something that subsequent visual aspect inThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fetthave restate with Boba fly solo as the Daimyo of Mos Espa .
Mandalorian Civilians Survived On The Planet’s Surface
One of the revelations ofThe Mandalorianseason 3 , episode 7 was that some Mandalorians managed to survive the Purge on the planet ’s surface . As Din , Bo - Katan , Grogu , and the other Mandos land on the satellite to search for the Great Forge , they are confronted by a sail hoy of sorts , hosting a group of exist Mandalorians . Two of the Mandalorians are played by Charles Parnell and Charles Baker , reveal that they somehow come through the initial bombardment and get scour the surface to survive . It will be interesting to see if any further survivor of the Great Purge are reveal run intoThe Mandalorian ’s time of year 3 finale and season 4 .
