10 Things That Make No Sense About The Mandalorian

Despite being Star Wars greatest success in recent years, The Mandalorian Still have quite a few parts of its history that make no sense. Nearly five years after its debut, The Mandalorian has since run for three seasons and is currently in production for its own movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Dean Djarin and Grogu have also become staples of the franchise, cementing themselves as two of Star Wars Best letters. This success has certainly come for a reason, because his story is very popular among them Star Wars Audience – although it has still had its stumbles.

While many viewers would point to The Mandalorian Season 3, the lowest-rated installment of the series, as the weakest point in the TV show’s narrative, all three seasons have had their moments that still make no sense. Some are more trivial than others, ranging from a single moment that loses any suspended belief to a core part of the story that is now complete nonsense. Even as some of Star Wars The best story, there are 10 glaring things about The Mandalorian Which makes no sense.

The New Republic blows up a space station without knowing why

Just because it was a tracking beacon

The prison ship Heist in “Chapter 6: The Prisoner” gives viewers their first real look at anything directly related to the New Republic in the handful of years after the events of Return of the JediAnd although it successfully demonstrates just how flagging the new government is, it may have gone to an extreme. After being betrayed by Ranzar Malk’s gang, Din Djarin makes it a key part of his plan to take the activated tracking beacon and send it back with Qin. Dean’s plan is a success, and Ranzar’s Roost space station is destroyed.

Given that Migs Mayfeld says in this very episode that tracking beacons will cause New Republic attack teams to “Blow us all to hell“, this is not a huge surprise, but it still feels like a very extreme move – especially considering the fact that The X-wing pilots don’t even know why they’re destroying the space station. All it takes is their sensors picking up on a launching gunship in the space station for them to fire relentlessly. This makes the New Republic seem unnecessarily aggressive, especially in an era where they are hesitant to use their military and navy.

Dean and Grogu fly across the galaxy just to see Bo-Katan

They go back and forth just for a droid and a fit-up

Space travel is not always clear in Star Wars In terms of how far away particular things are or how long it takes to reach different planets, but additional resources such as source books and Star Wars Galaxy maps have helped to chart the distances – which has created one glaring issue in The Mandalorian Season 3. At the end of the season premiere, Dean and Grogu go from Nevarro to Kalevala, the latter of which resides in the Mandalorian system. The two planets are all the way across the galaxy from one another.

It would have been nice if Dean went into Mandalore with Bu-Ktan right after the pit stop, but he didn’t. instead, Dean takes them all the way back to TatooineWhich is just another sector or so over from Navarro. The purpose of this trip is simply to get refueled and to try to find a part for IG-11 in Peli Motto’s hangar, though Dean ends up with R5-D4 instead. Then, Dean goes back to where they started: the Mandalorian system. This seems like a waste of time and fuel for Dean.

The Mandalorians also found it easy to save their home world

Bo-Katan losing the Darksaber ended their own dedication

Bo-Katan’s search for the Darksaber ends abruptly The Mandalorian Season 2 finale, when Din Djarin accidentally earns the revered Mandalorian weapon for himself by dueling Moff Gideon. Because it must be earned in combat, Bo-Katan refuses to accept it from Dean, who tries to relent and hand it over to her. Not having the Darksaber means that Bo-Katan cannot rule in the eyes of her people, and this causes her to retreat completely from the effort – but not just her.

Ax Waves, Koska Reeves, and Bo-Katan’s other allies all surrender when she also refuses to follow Dean Djarin as their leader. Not only that, but they completely give up on their home world, seeing the Darksaber transferred to Dean Jirin – a fellow Mandalorian – as a stopgap. Although it is true that Dean had no interest in taking back the Mandalor at the time, it is still hard to believe that these Mandalorians who have been trying to reclaim their home world for a long time will simply give it all up just for the sake of the Darksaber.

Dean Djarin’s helmet can be pressure, but he still drowned

How come he drowned, but Bo-Katan and others didn’t?

“Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore” sees Djarin press his helmet for the first time as he steps out into Mandalore’s atmosphere to find R5-D4. This prevents him from breathing in any potential toxins in the air that he hasn’t yet had a chance to test, and it makes a sound similar to Darth Vader’s respirator. It’s a fascinating new development to his iconic helmet, and while it certainly serves the story at this point, it also affects two different scenes from The Mandalorian In a confusing way.

Dean almost drowned twice The MandalorianEven when he and Bo-Katan first meet in The Mandalorian Season 2 and later in the same Season 3 episode. Now that it’s been confirmed that he can print his helmet, it makes a little bit of sense that he somehow managed to drown in his full suit of armor on two separate occasions. In season 3, it can at least be explained that he had no time to press his helmet before he fell, however In season 2, he voluntarily dove into the water – and may have pressurized his helmet How he did it.

The armor allows Bu-Ktan to remove her helmet, but not Dean Dzarin

Her acceptance seems to be conditional (for now)

Part of the reason why Dean Jirin removing his helmet twice in The Mandalorian Season 2 and breaking his creed for Grogu has so much impact because the audience knows that he is sacrificing the favor of his secret and of his creed for the child. This makes it no surprise that he is excommunicated from his Mandalorian tribe by the Armorer, but what follows is certainly a bit shocking. Dean goes to great lengths to gain his redemption in the living waters beneath the mines of Mandalore, risking his life several times to do so, and he ultimately succeeds.

Then, not long after, it’s the armorer who tells Bo-Katan to remove her helmet, as she “Goes both worlds.” It’s clear that becoming alone with Bu-Ktan made the armorer more accepting of those who follow a different path, and that the story choice was intentional, but it also makes Dean’s fight for redemption look a little silly. . If the armorer had to accept those who don’t always wear their helmets, why did Dean have to almost die multiple times to be considered a Mandalorian? – And why wasn’t he the one who changed her?

Ahsoka saw Grogu’s attachments, but Luke did not

She lets him find training despite the supposed danger

Ahsoka Tano’s reasoning for not training in Grogu The Mandalorian Season 2 makes sense, especially when she indirectly references Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side, but it’s not a dealbreaker for her about Grogu receiving training as a whole. Although she is determined to let his abilities fade rather than let him wield his power, Ahsoka still gives Dean Jirin what he’s looking for by offering him another way to get Grogu trained. This is purely transactional, as she needs his help to capture Magistrate Morgan Elbeth, and this only makes the decision of hers seem worse.

Ahsoka recognizes the dangers of training someone like Grogu, who is very attached to Dean, but still lets him train anyway. Even more confusing is that once Luke Skywalker accepts Grogus’ call through the Force, he doesn’t recognize Grogus’ attachment to Dean – or if he does, he doesn’t really care about it. While it’s true that, as she says earlier in the episode, Ahsoka can’t control the wishes of others and thus doesn’t stop Grogu from being trained if he wants to be, it’s still shocking that she lets Luke try to train Grogu when she refused to.

The surname of Din Djarin was registered on Mandalore

But he was never even there

like The Mandalorian has developed, elements of his story have changed over time, and this seems to be especially true of things that were first mentioned in season 1 – including this important detail. When Din Djarin, Cara Dune and Greef Karga are pinned down in the Navarro Cantina, Dean is able to identify who their mysterious enemy is, based on the fact that Gideon knows Dean’s real name. When the Griff asks why this is important, Dean explains that Gideon was a Jewish officer at the Great Purification, and Dean’s name was only written in the “Registers on Mandalore.”

The problem with this is that Dean had never even been to Mandalore before The Mandalorian Season 3. Dean grew up on Concordia, Mandalore’s moon, and the fact that he has never been to Mandalore means that his secret was already exiled and did not visit their old home world either. It doesn’t make sense that Dean’s name would be registered on the planet Mandalor itself if he hadn’t even been there before. Unless Dean was referring to Concordia as part of Mandalore, there is no explanation for why his name is there.

Grogu has Dean Djarin’s name instead of his last

Or is “Dean” really his last name?

Easily one of the most controversial decisions in The Mandalorian So far only happens after Dean Djarin formally adopts Grogu as his son. This was a long-awaited moment since the audience first watched the bond between Dean and Grogu in the course of The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2, but the sweetness of it is fairly overshadowed by the armorer’s next words. Rather than referring to Grogu as “Grogu Djarin,” the Armorer tells Grogu his new name is “Din Grogu”—something that had not happened before in Mandalorian history.

This wouldn’t be as controversial of a decision if it was explained in the moment, or even in retrospect, but it wasn’t. instead, All it does is confuse the audience as to what this might mean for Dean’s name. It makes it possible that “Dean” was actually Dean’s real last name all along, and that his last name conforms to different naming conventions than others. Star Wars Letters. Star WarsHowever, it seems to still treat “Din” as the titular character’s first name, which makes it even more confusing that Grogu is named “Din Grogu” instead of “Grugu Djarin.”

The most important setup of Season 3 happens in another show

Dean & Grogu’s loneliness and their reunion

One of the reasons The Mandalorian Season 3 is considered the weakest of the three seasons of the TV show because the most important story setups take place in one of the spin-off shows, The Book of Boba Fett. This is a TV show that many are indifferent to The Mandalorian Viewers didn’t watch because the title refers to Boba Fett and seems to imply that the show will be about him. This is true until its fifth episode, which sees the return of Dean Jirin after the events of The Mandalorian Season 2.

This is the beginning of one of Star Wars Most confusing and controversial story choices to date. from then on, Dean and Grogu essentially drive the show’s narrative, filling viewers in on exactly what they’ve been up to since their heartbreaking goodbye In the season 2 finale. This leads to the characters’ characters not getting nearly as much of the emotional impact it deserves – because it doesn’t happen in their own show. Having such an important season 3 setup in another show still makes no sense to this day, and it certainly hurt the series in retrospect.

The Mandalorian timeline is completely broken

Source books and the shows seem to contradict each other

The most nonsense about The Mandalorian So far is his timeline, which has been severely warmed over the past five years. The timeline is easy to follow at first, with the TV show set in 9 ABY (five years after the events of Return of the Jedi), but it gets more complicated after that. Based on in-universe developments such as Navarro’s revitalization and Grogu’s growth, it seems as if a year or so passes between each season, which The Mandalorian Season 3 around 12 a.m. But this is not the case.

Comments from showrunner Jon Favreau and official source books such as Star Wars timelines have fought each other several times, with the last one being taxed here Everything from The Mandalorian Season 1 by The Book of Boba Fett Takes place in one year (9 abi). This seems impossible, given everything Dean and Grogu are going through at the time – and the fact that Grogu was supposed to be with Luke for a considerable amount of time. The Mandalorian Still has yet to explain its timeline, which will likely be a difficult task because it is nonsense at the moment.
