Good question. I'd read them. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Didn't read the whole thread, but I like what I've seen so far. Are there any books that give more details about the Mandalorians? Then continue with Triple Zero, True Colors, Order 66, and Imperial Commando by the same author. None of it is canon anymore, but it’s probably the closest you’ll get to more depth on Mandalorians. |

Can you expand on that? Because I was always under the impression that Boba (and subsequently Jango) Fett was a Mandalorian. I get that there was a line in the Clone Wars dismissing Jango, but if the President disavowed a US citizen for one reasone or another, that person doesn't stop being an American, does it? Is "Mandalorian" an ethnicity or a religion? Aren't people from Mandalore Mandalorian? Dutchess Satine, Fen Rau, Sabine Wren, everyone else that was introduced in the Clone Wars and Rebels Mandalorian epidodes? Or is there just no clear cut definition and we'll all find out during this series? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Jango was/is mandalorian but not recognized my their government. It's like you were Catholic and the pope excommunicated you. Is "Mandalorian" an ethnicity or a religion?

"Mandalorian" in its current state in the SW universe is mostly a culture and way of life. |

I collected all the artwork off the Twitter feed along with some off the Disney+ website and made a album. Today they released the original artwork of the credit photos save one that don't have that plastered over look.

And from the subsequent replies, Mandalorians weren’t originally human. Just seems a little unnecessary to exclude the most recognizable wearers of Mando armor from the cool guy club. But I have faith in Filoni so I’ll just kick back and enjoy the ride. |

You still have to rely on Legends, aka not canon, for that to work. There is absolutely nothing in current canon that supports your theory. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
The Man-DeLorean Theory Baby Yoda is Yoda Remember Doc Brown from Back to the Future 3? 1. We know nothing of Yoda's origins, beyond his age. 2. The force balances itself - Baby Yoda born at the same time as Anakin (yin/yang). 3. Time travel exists in Star Wars universe (see Star Wars Rebels). 4. To protect Baby Yoda (and the timeline), Baby Yoda will end up being sent back in time hundreds of years. 5. None of the above violates any continuity in the other movies or TV series. |

Why have people allowed a very simple story to become so fucking convoluted and confusing over all these years?!?
At the root of it, Star Wars is a good vs evil tale - and one of the "little guy" overcoming great adversity to make a real difference in his world. It's a story everyone should be able to appreciate and identify with. Then, came the shit-show, merchandise-selling, kiddie-appealing prequels and the horrendous recent episodes with the SJW bullshit crammed down our throats with Mary Sue, et al. The Madalorian, good or bad overall, is a welcome change - thus far. It's got it's comedic scenes and all, but it's got grit too. I'm enjoying it because it's reminiscent of the original trilogy - when shit was simple, like the basic formula. I hope they keep with that basic premise and I'm hopefully optimistic they will. As always, YMMV. |

Well as my kid said Stormtroopers continue to be the Star Trek red shirts. They’ve been nerfed since 1977. The majority of nerd channels don’t like the short times per episode and I agree. 50 minutes would be standard, an hour is probably too much to ask but less than 40 is a drawback. Even though the thread includes spoilers now, I’ll save further comments till everyone else has seen #3

Just watched ep 3. I am entirely hooked.
The infiltration scene was just perfect. Loved the closer look into how the Mandos interact in the forge. The vibro blades were a nice touch, at first I thought the actors hands were just shaking. Does he still have no signet? |

I’ve heard criticisms of the length before. I personally don’t (won’t - haven’t watched it yet and likely won’t ‘til after Christmas) have a problem with that.
Why? Because I want them to tell the story they have in the arc without any padding for time or rushing to fit an artificially preconceived XX minute expectation. We want an hour or 47-50 minute show because it fits into our schedule better or because of reductions for commercials... I’m really enjoying the sci-fi Dust shorts on YouTube... They vary wildly in length, some 5 minutes, some 25+. All that matters is the story. |

Best episode so far.
-Crispy storm trooper was great. -The helmet rule is IMO is more of a sign that you have never lost a fight or been forced to remove his helmet (because that would start a fight). -Seeing the HUD inside the helmet was awesome |
