You can't really trust the Armorer anymore. She's a leader of a cult and terrorist group that came from Death Watch.
They are basically indoctrinating and brainwashing kidnapped children.
Or... She's someone who has been working on the inside as a fellow foundling like our Mando who now has her eyes open and wants to free others.
I mean... Your scenario is more expected I suppose.
Still... People don't break away from what they were raised in so easily, especially if they find SOME value or meaning in it.
She could easily be a "rebel" and in seeing our Mando with this child burden is finding a use in him to be able to expose how their sect of Mandalorians has lost their way.
This feels like it will come to a head one way or the other. Bo-Katan, the Dark sabre, it all leads one to think the ultimate fate of Mandalore and the Mandalorian culture is what will be in the balance at some point.
It's more "Lie of omission" that's being speculated in regards to the Armorer as opposed to directly lying. Din was not at all aware of who Bo Katan was or that the helmet rule was not universal among his people, and that shows a pretty significant lack of knowledge of his own people considering how recent it is. Din would've been an adult when the Imperials lost control of Mandalore to Bo Katan during Rebels. The armorer has shown a greater knowledge of their history than Din, it's worth questioning how honest she really is.I mean, what "lies" have either of them espoused? "This is the Way"? That's not a lie, that's a difference of religious opinion. "Mandalore is cursed"? Honestly seems pretty accurate given history. "Ancient tales of Jedi"? Absolutely true, and its not like she said "Look in ruins", she told him to go out and find them, as in living ones.
Yea I kind of doubt The Armorer is part of some big conspiracy backstory.
I think the only mystery about her is the ambiguity of whether she
A) Knows that Din has been fed lies and misrepresentations and is willfully in on the cultish brainwashing.
0r
B) Was she just raised to believe it the same as him and doesn't know any better and has been honest and straightforward with him, at least as best she knows how?
