Do you ever have a bad health day and think. man. my favorite fictional character would never let this happen to me

[cloudyysworld]

If they want to spice thing up this season they should have a recast Luke or CGI Luke appears in the last episode, a space starbuck in his hand and a lightsaber in another going "Alright lads where is my HUSBAND and SON???" and start cutting up bitches

[jackieparty]

dinluke isn’t canon???? okay then explain to me why they live on mandalore and are training their son to be a mandalorian jedi just like the first wielder of the dark saber to reunite their two cultures and because they’re actually married and in love with each other??????

how din djarin went from “traveling with me, that’s no life for a kid” to ADOPTING GROGU AND SETTLING DOWN TO GIVE HIS KID THE LIFE HE DESERVES

Din had to get a droid fixed and I started foaming at the mouth, PLEASE-

[clsmcsmii]

I can’t stop thinking about how Din Djarin and Luke Skywalker could co-parent Grogu together. Luke wouldn’t be left alone for decades. Grogu’d have two dads the Mandalorian and Jedi,one. The clan of three could be so happy together.

[djarindykes]

foolish one in the pov of din navigating his situationship with luke not wanting to pressure him out into putting a label on things bc of attachment but wanting him so desperately to the point where he accepts the heartache of it all….sigh

Okay so apparently (I did not notice before because it’s faded over time) Grogu has had the same blanket since Order 66 when Din finally finds him.

In episode 1 Grogu has his blanket. It’s turned a bit brown from probably poor washing and time. It was originally a rich bright red like Din’s village clothes in episode 1 as a child. The colour that that blanket is faded to, is the exact same colour as Din’s original chest plate, a ruddy brown.

Episode 3 is where Grogu loses that blanket in the imp base after they take Grogu into the back. When Din has his new armor and comes to get Grogu, he swaddles Grogu in a grey blanket (grey like silver one might say, to reflect Din’s new armor) which is replaced the next episode by a blue baby blanket from Sorgan. Blue is also akin to silver in a lot of ways, closer than grey even.

They both wear their Beskar pure and unpainted now. They were always paralleled. From their very first scene together to the flashbacks from both of them as children, they have always been parallel.

This story is just as much about Din as Grogu, and it’s never been about some stupid sword naming Din king. They scrapped that and said Unite Under Those Who Lead and Din has never been it. He was meant to be with his little baby soulmate and back off to fight in the galaxy in a truly Mandalorian way. Helping and being helped, making friends and honoring those relationships, adopting a foundling and having a home to go back to.

Stop complaining that ‘thematically it makes zero sense for Din NOT to rule because that’s the point of him not wanting to’ baby he don’t know how to run a society. He’s got heart and bravado and that’s about it. Bo-Katan has been suffering to keep her people together since order 66 and so far it’s their own stupidity that kept them running off whenever he didn’t have that dumb sword. You don’t want a leader who both knows and cares nothing for the position. He feels no responsibility to take charge when someone else already knows how to.

He has never been foreshadowed or paralleled with the position of Mand’alor. He has always been paralleled with Grogu though. Stop trying to force him into a position because you don’t think good stories can be told about boring little people who just live their lives and have a kid. It’s not all a tragic epic, sometimes it’s just a parent and child living their lives one monster-of-the-week at a time.

The Mandalorian Seasons 1 & 3: Direct Parallels

After rewatching The Mandalorian season 3 cohesively and thinking back to season 1, I came upon a realization that every episode of season 3 somehow directly parallels back to each respective episode of season 1. Below is a breakdown going episode-by-episode and diving deep into each parallel I noticed. Please keep in mind that these are my observations and theories, nothing more!

CHAPTER 1: THE MANDALORIAN & CHAPTER 17: THE APOSTATE

“Chapter 1: The Mandalorian” is all about setting up Din Djarin’s journey, mainly the job he’s tasked with that causes him to cross paths with a new ally, Grogu. “Chapter 17: The Apostate”—like many season openers—accomplishes the same thing: setting up Din’s journey and causing him to cross paths with a reluctant ally, Bo-Katan Kryze. IG-11 is an important part of each episode and helps to bring some comedic relief to the screen. In Chapter 1, Din utters the infamous “I like those odds” line when his odds are 4 to 1. Din also finds himself with 4 to 1 odds during the pirate showdown, where he takes down four of them and leaves Vane standing. Lastly, Chapter 1 reveals that the job Din’s taken is a very difficult one that other hunters either can’t complete or refuse to. Chapter 17 proves that Din’s journey to Mandalore is also seemingly impossible and many others refuse to do it.

CHAPTER 2: THE CHILD & CHAPTER 18: THE MINES OF MANDALORE

“Chapter 2: The Child” seals the bond between Din and Grogu as Din faces trials in his journey to bringing Grogu back to Nevarro. “Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore” seals the bond between Din and Bo-Katan as allies while Din faces trials in his journey to redemption on Mandalore. In both episodes, Grogu has to rescue Din when he’s in danger, and both times he tries to use the Force to do so. Each episode also features Din fighting off an ambush on his own, though that tends to be pretty common for him. Both episodes also featured a creature that hasn’t been seen in Star Wars live action before: the mudhorn and the Mythosaur, respectively. By the end of each of these episodes, Din’s gained at least one new ally and has accomplished his original goal (getting Grogu back to Nevarro and earning his redemption).

CHAPTER 3: THE SIN & CHAPTER 19: THE CONVERT

“Chapter 3: The Sin” and “Chapter 19: The Convert” both see their protagonists going against a set of rules they’re expected to follow in order to further what they view as the greater good. In Chapter 3, it’s Din breaking the Guild Code to rescue Grogu. In Chapter 19, it’s Penn Pershing breaking the rules of the Amnesty Program to restart his research. Both episodes feature a betrayal of sorts, Greef Karga and Elia Kane respectively. Additionally, the Children of the Watch in both episodes—most notably Paz Vizsla—start both episodes off by being hostile towards Din only to end up helping him in some way. In Chapter 3, it was saving him and Grogu from the hunters, and in Chapter 19, it was accepting his redemption as well as Bo-Katan’s. Each episode title also uses religious language.

CHAPTER 4: SANCTUARY & CHAPTER 20: THE FOUNDLING

“Chapter 4: Sanctuary” and “Chapter 20: The Foundling” each start off a 3-episode run of different adventures that fill in the storytelling space and offer the characters time to face trials and grow before the overall story starts to wrap up. In Chapter 4, Cara Dune mostly leads the effort to rescue the village. Bo-Katan fills this same role in Chapter 20 by leading the Mandalorians to rescuing the foundling. Interestingly enough, both these episodes also are some of the only to address how and when a Mandalorian should remove their helmets to eat. Chapter 4 offers some Din backstory that he gives to Omera while Chapter 20 offers some Grogu backstory. At the end of each episode, the rescues are complete, but another call to adventure haunts the protagonists.

CHAPTER 5: THE GUNSLINGER & CHAPTER 21: THE PIRATE

These two are probably the hardest to draw parallels on. “Chapter 5: The Gunslinger” starts with a dogfight, while “Chapter 21: The Pirate” features quite a long dogfight as well. Peli Motto was originally meant to appear in Chapter 21 and her introduction to the Star Wars galaxy was in Chapter 5. Fennec Shand tells Din of the Mandalorians’ fate on Nevarro in Chapter 5, but in Chapter 21, the Mandalorians are the ones taking down others on Nevarro. Each episode also leaves off on a cliffhanger that isn’t resolved by the next episode, with Chapter 5 featuring Boba Fett saving Fennec and Chapter 21 featuring the New Republic finding beskar within a destroyed shuttle.

CHAPTER 6: THE PRISONER & CHAPTER 22: GUNS FOR HIRE

This one has some of my favorite parallels, and for no good reason! In “Chapter 6: The Prisoner,” Din teams up with mercenaries he used to work for, while we see in “Chapter 22: Guns For Hire” that Axe Woves, Koska Reeves, and other Mandalorians have become their own band of mercenaries. Both episodes feature Din being very hostile towards droids, even more so than usual. They also both include notable cameos, Bill Burr and Matt Lanter for Chapter 6 and Lizzo, Jack Black, and Christopher Lloyd for Chapter 22. In Chapter 6, Din is against the side of the law, while in Chapter 22, Din is united with Bo-Katan on the side of the law. The end of Chapter 6 saw Ranzar Malk and Qin sharing some choice words about Din while the end of Chapter 22 saw Axe also sharing some choice words about Din. (It’s fun how similar these two episodes are to each other in my head!)

CHAPTER 7: THE RECKONING & CHAPTER 23: THE SPIES

“Chapter 7: The Reckoning” and “Chapter 23: The Spies” each act as a part one of the overall grand finale of their respective seasons, with each ending on a devastating cliffhanger of a main supporting character’s tragic death. Both episodes start with a somewhat reluctant team-up of Din’s collected allies to continue a journey. Each episode is also Moff Gideon’s first appearance in their respective seasons, with both featuring Moff Gideon’s holographic image on a call before his actual physical appearance. Both episodes see the groups venturing across a desolate landscape to get to where they need to go only to get led into an ambush. In Chapter 7, it’s Grogu who gets captured by Gideon, while in Chapter 23, it’s Din who gets captured by Gideon. Additionally, each episode has peril in which allies cannot be contacted by comms. Lastly, as referenced before, Chapter 7 ends with Kuiil’s tragic death, and Chapter 23 ends with Paz’s.

CHAPTER 8: REDEMPTION & CHAPTER 24: THE RETURN

“Chapter 8: Redemption” and “Chapter 24: The Return” both end on a hopeful and somewhat peaceful note for Din and Grogu with a brand-new call to action. In Chapter 8, Moff Gideon blows up Din, while in Chapter 24, Moff Gideon gets blown up. Grogu protects Din and his allies from fire in both Chapter 8 as well as Chapter 24. In Chapter 8, the Armorer tells Din he is as Grogu’s father, while in Chapter 24, Din officially adopts Grogu as his son. Din earns a mudhorn signet for Grogu in Chapter 8 and Grogu earns part of Din’s name in Chapter 24. IG-11 sacrifices himself in Chapter 8, but comes back to life to serve as the marshal of Nevarro in Chapter 24. Both episodes contain big battle scenes that eventually lead to an entire planet being liberated. Chapter 8 features the Darksaber’s first appearance in live action, while Chapter 24 features the destruction of that same weapon. Finally, Chapter 8 sees Din and Grogu leaving Nevarro, but Chapter 24 sees Din and Grogu staying there in a home of their own.
