Just started watching, why is this show rated TV 14? It seems like a kids show with the fighting scenes, it reminds me of power rangers from the 90s lol. I didn't know what the show was about and thought Mandalorian was evil haha. I'm watching the show and it's definitely not what I was expecting but I enjoy it. The baby yoda looking thing is adorable and I want one. I love star wars but I always find myself wanting more violence. I've been watching SW in chronological order and I'm at season 1 OF Mandalorian now. Next is boba then ahsoka then ep7.

Robotic Gunslingers, metallic tumbleweed.. enjoy friends. This ones for the stans

PLEASE NOTE: This is not meant in any negative/offensive way. Merely an observation that I found interesting and for a fun discussion.

Early Christians were considered to be a sect of Judaism during the early days. And an alternative term used was "The Way" that they referred to themselves as. Also known as Nazarenes.

It made me think of the Mandalorian's children of the watch sect and got me wondering if it was inspiration for it, as a (at the time) semi-newer sect of a religion that had notable differences from the main group (CotW vs overall Mando's and Christian Judaism vs Judaism).

Was a very interesting parallel I wanted to share, is all.

May 4th is coming up and I’m a 19yo cosplayer who would like to cosplay an age appropriate Din this year. But my main issue is trying to figure out how it would look

Dins young adult life isn’t very detailed canonically and there isn’t much fan content to give me a good idea either. We’ve seen him as a child being saved by Death Watch, and we know he worked with Ranzar Malks crew at some point before joining the guild but that’s it.

Ik he wouldn’t have his full beskar look but would it be similar to his first appearance or even less? Any Mandalorian lore experts pls help me out!

I'm guessing the practical answer behind this has to do with plot armor and whatnot, but I found it interesting to ponder.

Who exactly would Moff Gideon have sent to hunt down the Nevarro Mandalorian Covert in Season One? We only find their piled up armor aside from the Armorer, and Paz Viszla mentions "the Imperial Butchers that hunted us in the sewers", so they must have been pretty good at their job. The problem is, what type of trooper that the Imperial Remnant has access to has displayed this efficacy?

The Deathtrooper Guard of Moff Gideon seem to be the most immediate answer, as they were definitely on Nevarro in that time frame and have shown a high degree of efficacy in taking out their targets (as shown in the Battle of Scarif). However, even though Din has a little bit of a tough time taking them down, they fall relatively quickly.

Regular Stormtroopers seem unlikely, as almost all Mandalorians seen in the show are able to take them down with ease.

The Incinerator trooper could work, but why wasn't everything charred down there then? It also seems more like a weapon of mass destruction rather than a methodical hunting weapon.

His Imperial Armored Commandos (probably just the next wave of Mandalorian Supercommandos from Rebels) are probably the best match for Mandalorians head on, but they all seem to be based on Mandalore.

The Dark Troopers and Praetorian Guard seem completely far fetched and out of his reach at this time.

And side note, are Din, Paz, and the Armorer the deadliest members of the tribe, or are they all on a similar level?

Enjoy this wonderful Star Wars shower thought and let me know your theories below!

Remember how after season 3 ended, Faveraux (sp?) said they were going to write "an indefinite amount of seasons" of The Mandalorian? What happened to that? Was that just a rumor? Did he change his mind?

I’ve been seeing mixed reports about this. Has there been anything official?

All figures are SW Black Series

This cookie was part of a set that I made for an engaged couple upon their request. They presented them to their friends, asking them to be the best man and maid of honor at their wedding. The inscription on the cookies reads: "Will you become our padawans?"

It should have been strong and blaster resistant, but it starts to crack and fall off after several blaster bolts.

Which would have made The Armorer far more important to Din's story. He would have needed her to remain "Mandalorian" after every fight where his armor cracks and falls off. If he can recover the broken pieces, he can get them reforged. If they are lost, he has to find new Beskar to take to the Armorer.

Half a season in any of the 3 seasons could have added tension because he would without a chest plate until he finds more Beskar.

There would be more tension in battles where enough bolts start knocking armor off, leaving any Mandalorian far more vulnerable.

It also would have been a reason to make them perform combat like special forces IRL, where they take cover and move more tactically because they are more incentivized to not get hit. The armor is just a last resort if you do get hit as it will eventually crack.

Every time there were gun fights and Mandalorians just stood there, getting shot without a fear in the world, I felt absolutely no tension. The fights might as well have not even happened.

I can't blame the writers though, armor and blaster logic is extremely inconsistent in the Star Wars universe, even before the Disney purchase.

This just would have been a great addition to the story that would have added depth and tension to all Mandalorian characters.

Making invulnerability a finite resource would have added much needed nuance to a show where I never once fretted for the main character. Even Rey felt more vulnerable than that as the ultimate Mary Sue.

Just finished up Boba Fett! On to the N1 Starfighter, which will probably test me lol. Boba’s ship after that!
