Based on what's known about the Mandalorian's Darksaber and black kyber crystals in Star Wars, the legendary weapon may be powered by the dark side.
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.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY 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.
Galaxy's Edge Hints Black Crystals Are Tainted By The Dark Side Interestingly enough, black kyber crystals have never been seen on-screen in the Star Wars galaxy. However, that fact reinforces the idea that they're hard to find. That being said, black kyber crystals can be found by visitors who come to Disney's Galaxy's Edge theme park, though the odds of finding one are extremely low, as they're hidden with the standard red tubes for Sith crystals.
"Today you have found something truly special. This small fragment of obsidian is infused with the power of the dark side. When placed inside a lightsaber or a holocron, this rare fragment with unnatural powers mined from dark side shrine will have similar properties as a red Kyber Crystal." 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 .
