#Mandalorian #Breakdown #EasterEggs

So this show is now getting pretty deep into mandalorian history and culture, which might have some of you confused. We covered a lot of this backstory in our Mandalorian recap video, but I’ll also catch you up here and there in the video.

The title of the episode is the Apostate.

Doug: Yeah what’s that mean?

Wel an apostate is someone who renounces their religion, or is outcast from it. When Din jarin removed his helmet he broke the mandalorian creed, and was outcast from his people.

Doug: But not all mandalorians make you keep your helmet on. Couldn't he have just joined up with them?

Okay, so Bo-Katan mentions this here [you and your kind split off, etc]. Basically, for thousands of years the mandalorians have been warriors, forging beskar armor. And for thousands of years, they have been fighting one another. A thousand years ago, a mandalorian named Tarre Vizsla, who was once a  jedi, actually managed to unite all of Mandalore under the rule of his darksaber. That's why it’s still a symbol of mandalorian leadership–which I think will have huge implications on this show in future seasons that I’ll talk about later on.

After vizsla died, the mandalorians went right back to civil war, splitting off into different factions. Eventually they split into 2 different f=groups, death watch and the pacifists and death watch were exiled to the mandalorian moon. So the hyper religious group Din belongs to is a splinter of death watch–you can tell me the patch on their armor when they rescue him.

So let’s talk about this specific group, because the episode starts with one of their religious and cultural rituals.

We begin with the sound of hammering over the star wars logo [clip]. Which has a couple meanings. One, it has a literal meaning, as the Armorer is forging a new helmet for a foundling. But it’s also a metaphor for how they are forging a new member of their clan. The creation of new armor is a deeply personal act for mandalorians [sabine clip].

A mandalorian armor represents your ability to fight, to project your clan, and it’s a symbol of your personal identity. It’s why Din wears a mud horn on his pauldron–it's a symbol of his clan, and the love he holds for Grogu.

And of course the shot of the arrow hammering feels like a  callback to another Jon Favreau joint, Iron man. [splitscreens].

A Couple things to noise in this scene. Our own Colton Ogburn also pointed out that for a moment, the way she holds the metal is very reminiscent of the death star. Also, she pours a liquid into the pool of water before using it to cool the metal.

Doug: Yeah, why’s she doing that?

It’s to, uh, oxidize the nitrogen in the water, so it can hydrogenate the metal and make it strong.

Doug: You have no idea, do you?

I don’t, no.

Notice that the armorer keeps this skull in the chamber. This is a recreation of the skull of a mythosaur, made out of beskar. We’ve heard them mentioned in chapter 1 [ancestors rode mythosaur]. When mandalorians first settled their world, these beats were all over the place, so they had to tame and ride them. It was the first test to show their prowess as warriors, so the skull has become a symbol of their people.
