(Cue вЂњHeвЂ™s worth a lot to meвЂќ retort.)Д«ut if Jango wasnвЂ™t a Mandalorian, that means Boba Fett - his unaltered clone - wasnвЂ™t either. Because of this, heвЂ™s really not worth much to this conversation. According to The Clone Wars, Jango wasnвЂ™t Mandalorian at all - he was just a bounty hunter who acquired the armor. And thatвЂ™s not to say native Mandalorians canвЂ™t also keep the creed. And native Mandalorians are the ones you see removing their helmets. Religious Mandalorians like Din Djarin prove their devotion to the creed by never removing their helmets. When you examine the canon, the difference between the Mandalorians is pretty clear. Sabine Wren from Rebels, Sabine WrenвЂ™s mom, Gar Saxon, Prime Minister AlmecвЂ¦ basically, most of the Mandalorians featured in either The Clone Wars or Rebels casually pop their helmets off all the time. The same could be said for Bo-Katan, who, while she doesnвЂ™t mention it in вЂњThe Duchess,вЂќ was a one-time member of the Death Watch. Pre Viszla removes his helmet in almost every scene heвЂ™s in. In The Clone Wars episodes featuring the Death Watch, we begin to see Mandalorians who play it more fast and loose with the whole helmet rule. The Death Watch are also the ones we saw rescue a young Din Djarin in Season 1вЂ™s flashbacks.Д«o-Katan in animated and live-action form. Those warriors made up the Death Watch and followed Pre Viszla, a native Mandalorian and one-time wielder of the darksaber. As the pacifist Duchess Satine Kryze (the sister of Bo-Katan) tried to keep her people out of the conflict of the Clone Wars, MandaloreвЂ™s warriors were exiled to Concordia, a nearby moon. Most of what we know about the Death Watch comes from The Clone Wars series. The Children of the Watch seems to be the post-Empire evolution of the group of Mandalorian terrorists once known as the Death Watch. That makes him a Child of the Watch, which Bo-Katan describes in вЂњThe HeiressвЂќ as вЂњa cult of religious zealots that broke away from Mandalorian society вЂ¦ Their goal was to reestablish the ancient way.вЂќ вЂњNo living thing has seen me without my helmet since I swore the creed.вЂќД¬ara Dune asks if heвЂ™ll be killed for taking the helmet off, but Djarin says no, itвЂ™s just that he can never put it back on again.Дin Djarin wasnвЂ™t born on Mandalore, but he was taken in by its people, and specifically by the Death Watch. At the end of Season 1, after getting his bell rung by Moff Gideon in the final shootout on Nevarro, Mando tells IG-11 the following:

The Mandalorian series has done a pretty thorough job explaining why Din Djarin never shows anyone his face: Just like his weapons, itвЂ™s all part of his religion. ThereвЂ™s just something about Mandalorian armor that commands respect, and now thanks to the ever-expanding universe that is the Star Wars canon we know more than ever about the Mandalorians and their armor.

And I felt pretty let down by the overall laziness of this new trilogy, and also a bit angry at the entitlement of it for pretty much seizing control of the franchise as a whole by basically, вЂNah we donвЂ™t like the ending that everybodyвЂ™s been cool with for decades, letвЂ™s change it!вЂ™ I personally would feel pretty depressed if I was in the new Star Wars movie (as a main character I mean. Personally, IвЂ™ve been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a kid.

Also, maybe they fucking loved the new Star Wars! In which case thatвЂ™s fucking dope that they got to work on something they truly got to enjoy. To some actors this is just a job and maybe theyвЂ™re just happy to be working. Obviously I canвЂ™t speak on behalf of the cast.

Cannavale, who presumably wonвЂ™t be getting an invite to Star Wars Celebration any time soon, was then asked if heвЂ™d feel differently had he appeared in the movie, with the actor responding:
