Mandalorian discussion[SPOILERS]

@SwellingFoil266Could be. It may depend on how old Din actually is and where he was operating. The group he belonged to seemed to be very isolated, and I don't think he cares about the profession itself. I think it's just him doing whatever he can to support the covert. He also didn't recognize Bo Katan, who ruled Mandalore and was a central figure on Mandalore up through "the purge".

The fact that Din doesn't recognize him is just wrong.
Considering he's a bounty hunter you think he would have heard of the best there is plus he claims hes spent a lot of time on Tatooine plus im sure people would have brought it up when seeing that he is a mandalorian at some point. (I know Boba Fetts not mandalorian but the hypothetical random civillians don't)

Could be a few possible reasons why Din doesn't seem to acknowledge Boba /was a famous bounty hunter  / At all

-The Guild could be in decline and information about it's previous activity might be limited / covered up / censored for whatever reasons. ((Likely fallen out of (galactic)political favor to some extent.)) 
This means Din (among other hunters of their time) wouldn't have access to the information regarding some of the greatest bounty hunters... It's less personal - it's just a circumstance of decreasing activity. It seems unlikely any old civilian would know about ' 'famous bounty hunters' ' more likely people who have reason to use and /or fear bounty hunters would know about Boba. Considering Bobas' age, those who knew of him could have likely died during the various wars.  

-Information about specific individual/s might be inaccurate / slander, in order to incarcerate them and those who claim to know of them.
Hutt Clans, The Empire, ' 'Mandalorian/s' ', and/or War Lords, might have reason to imprison Boba (for failing // other reasons), possibly causing them to smear his image through bribery, and cause 'Bobes to go into (further) hiding. This kind of cover up would mean that only people who knew about Boba could tell you about him - at the risk of upsetting larger than life big heads and getting into some hot water themselves . . . Just for talking about / mentioning Boba. 

-Boba was only a popular bounty hunter from a specific sector which excluded infamy on Tatooine among the outer rim - he was only there by order of his employers.
(In a specific order pertaining to the galaxies' time frame; in the episode The Box, from the Clone Wars we see a bunch of different bounty hunters with high reputations for one thing or another, gathering in one location. Then later, we see a group of bounty hunters being hired by the Empire, among them are Bossk, Ig-88, Dengar, Boba Fett, Zuckuss and 4-lom. It could be that those characters were the best / most reputable hunters of their sectors... ? I was under the impression that these hunters were galaxywide famous but that might not have been the case in new canon.  Boba might have been more popular in the Inner Rim where he'd once been delivered to a creepy king dude in a botched Bounty hunting mission ;p ??? ) 

-Din doesn't bother reading/comparing/learning about the best hunters // other hunters // Doesn't remember which trash compared him to what & when. 
He could be so focused on his personal task/s, he doesn't get caught up in who is doing what, and who did what when. If info doesn't pertain to his next targets it could be considered nonessential. Din seems to receive information from his armorer and those in higher positions in contrast to himself. He might not be the sort to look beyond what he's told to do - which aligns with him eventually leaving his cult due to personal growth. Learning about Boba might expand Dins horizons, in a way. 
Din previously didn't even know what a Jedi was?

-Boba's reputation vanished with him. 
He lost relevancy when he stopped showing up. People forgot about him. He stopped hunting due to some personal circumstances which might be explored in his personal show. 

@ToddyRocket1
Regardless of if it's actually poodoo or not, our little MandoMushroom is growing from it - kept in the dark.
Seemingly, no wool is needed over his eyes... That helmet & it's cultist ties are a better filter to keep him DIMN... 

@ArchAngeL-PCX 
Yeah, it seems as though Din Djarin's primary motivation for bounty hunting was solely to earn Beskar to supply his Foragemaster with . . .  In order to pimp himself out, focusing on fitting into his creed. Trying to earn the respect of his adoptive family - I think that's actually a common theme in stories regarding characters who grew up among families they weren't born into... They strive to do their best in everything because they probably feel guilty / burdensome? Maybe? It does seem to be a reoccurring depiction for characters with those histories, in any case... 

-------------------------------------
Oh, I forgot to mention in my random thoughts;
THE FACT THAT THE EMPIRE JUST HAPPANED TO HAVE TINY HANDCUFFS!!! LMAO.
As if Grogu even needs to be shackled. You don't need your hands to use the force. It's just too comical. 
(I believe I now love Moff Gideon. He's so amusing.) 

Andor
ahsoka
rangers of the new republic 
bad batch
droids

Lando

all confirmed for disney +

Rangers of the new republic will probably tie into The Mandalorian? Since Cara became a marshal of the New Republic, it seems to indicate we might see cameos canonically tie the two shows together. 

I was under the impression Boba would be getting his own spinoff?
But the list already looks like a portion large enough to keep me entertained without him, if that turns out to be the case. 

Plenty of different online news/journal outlets are covering the potential new shows, but it seems there's a bit more digging to do when it comes to finding out what's going on with future Star Wars games. 

Considering cancelation happens, & companies seem to be enjoying shooting themselves in the feet simply to flip-off audiences occasionally, I'd take any future potential Star Wars news with a dump truck of salt. // Which is to say; I'll be heavily skeptical about what to expect based on presentations of what's to come. 

I enjoyed that episode as well 

The last 2 are my favourites 

SLICK PAINT!

Some prisoner was awesome.

Oh yeah, that nod to Operation: Cinder.

The noise of the seismic charge 

Loved it

So.....mandlore was destroyed by operation: cinder? 
thats what i got at least

Really liked this episode.  It's so cool seeing Boba Fett and Slave I flying around.  I had a feeling Mayfield would try some cracks and get shut down with one look from Boba Fett lol!!!!  That was awesome.  Mayfield overall was surprisingly good.  A lot of character development for him confronting his former commander.  Din having to deal with a situation where he had to take his helmet off...VERY well acted.  He looked so out of his element.   Also learns the hard way that Imperial armor can't take the hits Beskar can lol.

Fennec and Cara's teamwork as snipers was cool.  They work well together which further solidifies in my mind that they are building Rangers of the New Republic around this crew...including Boba Fett.  He does turn from bounty hunting in Legends around this time period, so maybe they are moving in the same direction in the new canon.

When Din talked about Mandalore being poisoned, he may have been referring to how he viewed the situation based on his ties to the Watch.

In a Bounty Hunting handbook addressed to Boba (Not canon? I'm not sure.) The leader of the Deathwatch cult at that time had written about how Mandalore was being destroyed by its own people. It was kind of a cultural divergence. That DeathWatch were - in their own opinion - the salvation of a dying society based on specific ' ' ancient values.' ' (Jango goes out of his way to write-in excerpts claiming that the Visla character - ' 'writer' '  of this stuff was occasionally lying/was a liar/Jango killed him. ) 

If the Children of the Watch are the next generation of the Death Watch with revised policies & goals then it makes sense they'd continue to inform their charges that Mandalore was decaying from within due to traditions being abandoned.

Sabine Wren (Of Mandalore..?)  ended up making weapons for The Empire that would specifically harm wearers within Beskar armor, but then she turned to the Rebels, and I think as a result, conflicts between the Empire and Mandalore intensified, Wren managed to reverse the destructive weapons' attention to target Storm Trooper armor... Which I think was made out of Durasteel...? Which sounds like it'd be a bad idea to do because EVERYTHING is Durasteel so ...?? 0_o;;  

I'm not sure what happens after that, but the events that occur from beyond this point seem to stem from actions that go against what may or may not be potential goals for specific clans vying for political power... Which is indicated by Din's choice of words. Imo.

Anyways... I think Operation Cinder was just an Easter Egg to reference the Story Mode of SWBF 2 2017 (EA). Maybe it isn't directly related to Din's story/ other than the fact that Din has 'May around at that point, who is expressing his own background story.
'May serves as a cautionary example of  ' 'why the Empire sucks.' ' - from an Imperial's perspective.  'May revealing this part of his past provides insight for Din (& the audience)  to acknowledge that the Empire are villains 100%.

Random thought 
When 'May & Din were passing through the local impoverished village & Din looked into the eyes of one of the locals & fixated on them.
It reminded me... Jacen Syndulla might be a potential force Sensitive to answer Grogu's call? (I was trying to forget he existed.) 


Luke states, I'm a Jedi, like my father before me.

I'm not sure if force sensitivity can be passed down... but if it can, then... 

Jacen Syndulla might become force sensitive - since his father was a Jedi. 

18 pages   of discussions and season 2 is not even over yet....

Seismic charge for the win! Also I thought it was cool how they showed the inside of slave 1 rotate as they took off. I've always wondered about that lol, like I thought maybe he would be laying down when the ship was on the ground haha
