That character also has a LEGO Minifigure, so it MUST be someone important
those maybe due to lack of knowledge, the Body print is Male.

What if it's just Din with all his shit upgraded?
"You've earned your paint and antenna thing."

The character is just called "Covert Mandalorian," it's one of the Mandos who helped him escape the firefight. Lucasfilm does this where they just pick random background characters and give them to licensors like Hasbro, Lego, and Funko to turn into action figures and stuff. It doesn't mean anything.
If we do get Sabine, she'll probably have armor covered in painted designs, just like she had in Rebels. Was sort of her signature thing.
I've posted it a couple time but man, I keep coming back to "A Thousand Tears" from the ep 8 OST. It's such a great track jumping genres and sounds and the little flutter of the Mando theme in there. Probably my favorite track of the show, when those guitars hit....goddamn. Goransson knocked it clear out the park for Mando.
Who wouldn't want to be rescued to those guitar riffs?
On his best day, Boba Fett ain't got that kinda intro.
If you are waiting for Palpatine's story arc to feed into The Mandalorian, whew lad.
Loved the show, the only episode I felt somewhat average was Gunslinger. The only decision I thought to be a mistake was removing his helmet and showing his face, they should have went full Dredd. Otherwise I really loved this show so far. The Dark Saber showing up was a holy shit moment.
In th
Nah, I think seeing his face was the right move. Dredd doesn't take off his mask because him having a face isn't important. He's the faceless enforcer of the law. He's essentially a cog in a machine. Mando is a person. Seeing his face humanizes him and gives up someone to care about. Plus, we're going to be seeing it way more in season 2, now that he can take it off in front of the Child, so get used to it.

Considering Palpatine announced his return in fucking Fortnite, then anything is possible.
I liked the way they did it though, it was only for a droid and the audience, if they were going to show us his face, that was the way to do it imo. If an actual character had seen his face, I do think the show would have lost something, but luckily they played it right.
The show isn't at all headed towards a Palpatine inclusion so waiting for that intersection means you are likely not interested in the show that actually exists rn...and you are instead waiting for the arrival of one that doesn't.
I thought that the show was good but pretty basic. At least some of it feels new so I'll keep watching.
it would be interesting if one random episode involves him trying to take out a transport, unknowingly, carrying palpatine from the old Death Star. Only to have Mando fail at it.
I wonder if Dave Failoni is going to do any of season 2? Episode 5 was awful. Nothing but a nostalgia wankfest.
He can take it off in front of the child now? When was that established?
He's considered to be the child's father till he either trains him enough, or he gives him over to the jedi or his own people. And you can take helmets off in front of your family.
That was a fucking promo. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't suddenly make Fortnite canon or something. Marketing probably saw a chance to use a recorded message that was left on the cutting room floor and used it. It's not as if the movie was written with 'oh, we'll have that in Fortnite' in mind.
Nah, these sets are basically army builders. Usually they consist of stormtrooper variations or rebels. They only seldomly have a named character in them (a bounty hunter pack and a Jedi pack being the only examples I know of). If this is an important character for season 2, Lego would include it in a season 2 set releasing after summer.
haha I thought the same thing. Was this established before?
They're actually a new type of TIE, so it's only some TIE post ROTJ who have this ability it would seem. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Outland_TIE_fighter
TIE fighters haven't had folding wings until now. That's a new one, based on old concept art:
Eh, the whole not taking off your helmet thing is new anyway. I assume it's for their safety and survival following the Imperial purge of Mandalore. In both The Clone Wars and Rebels, it wasn't a thing - your helmet was just what you wore in battle because beskar could withstand blaster fire.
Interestingly enough, Mandalorian culture becoming a religion may well imply that's how it survived. The Empire was pretty damn good at stamping out the Jedi and effectively erasing their history, so it stands to reason they'd be just as good at making the galaxy forget the Mandalorians ever existed as a people.
With the reveal of the Darksaber, knowing what that weapon signifies and its importance to their culture, I'm very confident the show will cover the Mandalorian people coming out of hiding and rallying behind whoever reclaims the Darksaber and becomes Mand'alor.
And it's totally going to be Sabine. 😎
Yeah, and?
The opening crawl says a message of Palpatine has been heard throughout the Galaxy. It does not refer to 'hey, there was this message in Fortnite and this movie is the follow up of it'.
The Fortnite-thing was a promo. They probably had that message recorded to have it heard in the movie but it ended up on the cutting room floor, and marketing saw an opportunity to use it for a promo. That's all it is. You guys make it sound as if The Fortnite event is suddenly a canon event the whole movie is built on, lol.
i know, very familiar with how it works, i work in LEGO retail. the Bounty hunter pack was just as popular as this mando pack. there was also the Inferno Squadron Pack a bit back with Iden Versio
but it's it's nice to hope that it's a suit/character we can see again.
Gina is so awesome.
We need a LOT more of her next season.
Was this posted?❤
This guy is really talented (I've seen some of his other work). It's also crazy how many characters that The Mandalorian brought in, in 8 episodes time.

Gina was occasionally uneven (I think the more they asked her to do, the more her performance dipped) but she has a ton of charisma and I think an inherent kind of likability. I'm glad she's a part of the show and yeah, Rousey doesn't compare.
