I do feel there a strong possibility that this theory could be how it actually plays out on screen, so if you don’t want to have a potential surprise ruined before you see it you may want to skip this post.

    By now I think we’ve all seen the sequence of the Mandalorian fighter being chased by a squadron of TIE interceptors. I also think that most folks (including myself initially) just take it at face value that inside those TIEs are going to be Imperial pilots. I actually think we’ve been given strong clues to think otherwise. 🤔

   A few months ago we got some leaked images of Bo and Axe Woves having some kind of altercation. It was reported, along with the pics, that a rift would develop in the Nite Owls. Bo confirmed this for us when she explains to Din how she’s lost their support when she didn’t return with the Darksaber. It’s the next exchange in that scene between Bo and Din that got me thinking….

     Din asks Bo, “What about Gideon’s cruiser?”. To which Bo replies, “they took the fleet and are using it to raid systems in the outer rim”. Gideon had a rather substantial light cruiser which could hold (according to Wookie) 3 TIE variants and 2 Lambda shuttles. From this, I think we can now reasonably assume that Axe Woves and the Nite Owls have some TIE fighters at their disposal,  and if the dispute between Bo and Axe had escalated, it could very well be those Nite Owls who are chasing Bo in her Mandalorian fighter. Especially after they learn that Bo is joining forces with Din and not planning to challenge him for the Darksababer.

    The implications of this could mean that the renegade Nite Owls and the fleet they’ve commandeered could actually be this season’s antagonist.🤔

    So, do you think it’s Bo’s former faction mates that are trying to kill her with commandeered TIE interceptors?
As always thanks for looking. 🙏
