Mandalorian Season 3

That looks so cool.
The most unrealistic thing of all in this season of The Mandalorian….
Anyone who is a parent will tell you “good luck” in instructing a kid to keep a helmet on their head 24/7…
That would last about 4 hours before they would pull the helmet off and you would have to take a trip to “bathe in the healing waters of Mandoville” and be forgiven for the transgression.
Realistically, the bucket would not be something you could put on someone’s head until they are in their mid-20’s.
But, then again, the whole “never take your helmet off” thing is the silliest concept ever presented in the Star Wars universe.

I also realized that the “dry stomach” of the Raptor of Lake Powell is right in-line with “action figure storytelling”. When you view the series through this lens, so much of it suddenly makes sense.
I remember very well my Kenner Rancor being able to swallow and regurgitate other action figures…dry as a bone.

That does raise a question Ive often wondered. We know one can be Mandalorian by creed and not ethnicity but are Mandalorians inherently exclusionary to anyone that isn’t human or near human? All the helmets we’ve seen (or at least Ive seen), seem to to fit a fairly narrow band of body types. If a Mon Calamari, Twi-lek, etc wanted to be a Mandalorian, are they just out of luck?

Note to all Mandalorians;
Take extra care in the cave and don't step on the newest foundling Grogu. If anyone has a 18" diameter hamster ball, let me know.
This is the way,

I agree that the helmet thing is quite impractical. Mandalorians making more Mandalorians with their helmets on, kind of funny. "This is the way."
This article is, I believe, an excellent guide to the parallels between the Mandalorians & certain Jewish sects that follow strict & exacting rituals in their beliefs.

Certain things can be extrapolated in the parallels, such as a man or woman following 'The Way' cannot remove their head covering IN PUBLIC, but in times of intimacy between spouses, it's fine.
There's one thing that I believe cements the comparison that the writer of the article doesn't touch on, since it's from this season. When Din brings the piece of the planet to the Armorer in the first episode, the inscription is scripture from the book of Exodus 10:5&6...
"And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh."
With this info, I think there's a lot that doesn't need to be spelled out, but can be accurately inferred until proven false.

Maybe they stopped reading after this.

So, the Mandalorians built the pyramids. They are obviously Egyptian in descent.This article is, I believe, an excellent guide to the parallels between the Mandalorians & certain Jewish sects that follow strict & exacting rituals in their beliefs.

Just watched this episode and I have to say that so far the last two episodes should have had the entire middle carved out because they added nothing to the story. I'm also completely over the utterly ridiculous don't remove your helmet thing (as it's shown) after this episode. Not being able to remove your helmet except when you're alone is just idiotic. I thought maybe it was that you couldn't do it with outsiders, but after this, no it's just dumb. I also thought them bringing back those baby whatever things didn't make sense. You're telling me you crammed them in there and they just sat there without trying to eat anyone?
I forgot to add that I did like that they seemingly kept the KOTOR 2 Mandalorian duel ring rules in this. It might be a coincidence, but in KOTOR 2 they would duel and the Mando you challenge was allowed to set the terms as far as weapons or no weapons.

Digressing a bit..
Driving around town I was noticing very fine line criss-crossing the roads for miles. I was tripping out trying to figure what the hell it was for for months........

Ok, just saw the first four episodes all at once. Not too bad.
The Pershing episode was boring. And it also bothered me that there was no windshield on the speeder, but no sign of wind.
HARD EYE ROLL when Mando told Grogu about the range gauge on the N1, and specifically associated it with fuel remaining. RJ must have slipped Favreau a Benjamin to include those few seconds of dialog.
I would love to see IG-88 back, and would actually have preferred Grogo to have stayed out of the picture for a while, with Mando and IG having a kind of Lone Ranger/Tonto dynamic.
I still miss the Razor Crest. (I think that Favreau must not be a car guy. That ship, to me, was a character. I think other car guys would view it in the same way and not have discarded it so easily by having it blown up.)
I was actually fine at the beginning of this series with Mando being pretty morally ambiguous, with just a slight tendency towards the side of food/honor. As the series has progressed, they've pushed him into more of a virtuous hero role. On the other hand, I did NOT like them degrading the morals/honor of the Sedaris character.
I like Katee Sackoff much better in this season for the simple reason that her lips aren't being extended into a "trout pout" that so often occurs after the excessive use of lip fillers. It was distracting in prior seasons, so it's nice to just be able to appreciate her role now.
I agree with one of the prior posters that said Mando essentially acts like he is slightly on the spectrum, being very fixated on wanting exact things.
I knew I recognized the Jedi that saved Grogu, but didn't realize who it was until I read through the thread. So nice for Ahmed to have a better memory of SW.
