The Mandalorian

[domarzione]

So in all of the BABY YODA! of it all, why did nobody advertise that The Mandalorian is about an orphan raised by the Death Watch to be a Space Hospitallar with nesting instincts?  I mean, I think The Child is adorable and all, but... seriously. Y'all should have made this much more clear.

Binge-watched it over the weekend, now I'm binging Ao3, and if fanon is to be believed, "Space Hospitallar with nesting instincts" applies to all Mandalorians.

Yes, seemingly. All petty jealousies and disagreements fade in light of child rescue.

"ManDADlorian." This is the Way.

But DEATH WATCH! Warrior culture! "Weapons are part of my religion" and child soldiers and DEATH WATCH.

Quite! Already planning to rewatch the relevant eps of Clone Wars and Rebels.

This came across my tumblr dash and is thought provoking, at least:

Oh, nifty! Yeah, I have faith that Filoni has an answer--it could very well be this.
