** Is it that she knew how to ''fight'', or just had experience plinking around with dad's blaster? Some people have better hand-eye coordination and are naturally good shots (consider the case of Sgt Alvin York, a crack marksman whose main training was that he was a hunter prior to WW1), while others are never going to be very good shots no matter how much training they go through. Sometimes someone just picks up a new weapon and it feels perfectly natural to them, and in those cases they might be a very good shot indeed right out of the box.

* Defeating someone who defeated the Darksaber holder doesn’t necessarily convey ownership unless the intermediate party actually took the Darksaber. Bo-Katan earned it not just because she beat a cyborg who beat Djarin, but because the cyborg took the Darksaber from Djarin after beating him. If the cyborg had left the Darksaber in Djarin’s possession, it’s not clear that Bo-Katan would have earned it by beating the cyborg.

** Vader didn’t defeat Sidious in honorable combat. It was a sneak attack from behind on somebody who trusted him enough to turn his back, à la Robert Ford killing Jesse James.

** This was covered in the show the previos season's finale. Din wouldn't fight if she challenged him, he'd just give it to her. She had it just basicly given to her once before and things went to shit. It has to be won, as far as Bo is concerned, in an honest and genuine fight. Din isn't willing to do that, so she is stuck.

** Gideon never planned to fight the collected Mandalorians at all. He expected that the rumors that Mandalore was poisoned would keep them away from his hidden base, and he thought the battle over the dark saber would keep the remaining groups divided into warring factions. To his mind, they were not an imminent threat. Once his force clones were ready, they'd cut through the Mandalorians. He obviously did not expect Din Djarin's covert and the mercs to unite behind Bo Katan, and he ''absolutely'' did not expect Axe Woves to successfully crash a Star Destroyer right through his front door.

*** Alternatively/Additionally, Mayfield may have seen it more as a case of "Cold Calculus". That while blowing up the facility with everyone in it was bad, leaving it would lead to even more people, many of them totally innocent, being subjected to something he knew was a horrible fate.

*** Adding to that, Dagobah is said to be heavily mired in the Dark Side, which, depending on source, is somewhat anathema to living things. He may have basically been hiding out in an area comparable to an exclusion zone near radiation.
