Maybe seeing Han on display as Jabba's favorite decoration started a fad, which lowered the cost/size of carbon freezing units.

For the meme page, once the Spoiler ban is lifted...

I added some Mandalorian avatars to the avatar gallery. FYI.

Is it looking to be an actual thing?

Yeah. Do they sleep in it? How do they eat? Does the armor have a cleaning system that removes bodily waste, washes your skin, and airs it out will you wear it? I'm down with an armor-wearing culture, but always wearing the armor? That is a bit of a strain on my disbelief suspension.


Well I guess Episode 4 addresses that.

Only removed in private; without inviting excommunication.

So far my group is classifying this as an item adhered to by select clans.
Like orthodox religious practice in some faiths.

I watched Chapter 4: The Perfection Continues twice today. I just can't get over how good the show is. Despite having a ton of stuff I hate the idea of, it's all consistently done in an awesome way.

Baby yoda is the dumbest idea ever. Also, I love baby yoda.

Well, we know he takes his helmet off to eat. The village lady asked him when was the last time he took the helmet off and he said yesterday. We still don't know how he sleeps, if Mandalorians take showers, or how the inside of the suit is cleaned. He kept the helmet on while alone in the cockpit with The Child. The inside of that suit and helmet has got to be pretty rank.

It's been a while but I think canon agrees with you. I seem to recall seeing Mandalorian focused-episodes of TCW and Rebels where they took their helmets off in front of other people.

I liked the 4th episode. The story easily could have been expanded into a couple episodes. Cool to see some Klantooinians.

I'm looking forward to the Imperial Flametroopers showing up at some point.

I think condensing it into one episode was what saved the improbable battle scene.

Watched 5th episode. Some nostalgic background shots from Eo IV. Very Happy

Another source confirms that blaster bolt power decreases at very long range.

By the way: the range (of a sniper rifle) - the proper one.

The 5th chapter was by far the worst one yet. It was very good.

Episode 6.

This show just makes me SO happy.

That felt like an RPG mission for sure.

Appearances by classic alien species...

Superb casting choices.

Love it.

Plot twist: baby yoda is actually a sith mind controlling the mandalorian since they first met.

Laughing Laughing Laughing

edit: what if the supposed Ep IX reveal in tomorrow's Mandalorian chapter is baby yoda is actually the Emperor reborn in the clone body of the most powerful jedi of all times: Yoda Shocked

just kidding, I doubt they'll trash both the last saga film and their best SW production until now with such garbage Laughing
