I don't think you'll even need fandom for it. The creators of the show seem to be bringing a lot of pre-Disney lore back, and for Mandalorians the most important thing was clan/family. So if anyone's allowed to see his face it would be his partner and/or kids. They made Baby Yoda his kid basically, so I'd be willing to bet we'll see more of his face in s2.

I'm going to bet that at some point the helmet thing is going to be addressed and we the audience (and maybe Din himself) will be able to get a little more context for it. Its most likely something that is either specific to his clan or tribe and/or an extreme measure that sprang up in response to the destruction of Mandalore and the massacre of its people. If its something that is recent, or is a distortion of some older Mandalorian custom, then Din's search for the Jedi (which will most likely lead to him delving more into the history of the Mandalorians, per his lead through the Armorer) may reveal to him that it isn't actually necessary for him to follow this custom to still be a Mandalorian.

That is my headcanon. In The Old Republic MMO, play a sorta adopted Mandalorian that only now is getting his own armor, but otherwise keeps his helmet off.

I think Mandalorians donning their armor 24/7 is new within that timeline, because of the Purge. As an emotional reason to be always on their guard, that eventually became tradition among the few mandalorians that remained.

That's what we took from it as well, so it may actually be what was intended and not just our head canon. }:)

In other words, This Is The Way.

They now own Star Wars and Marvel, two of the biggest fandoms there are on top of their own movies and Pixar. Of course people are going to give them money.

How does he eat if he can't take his helmet off ever?

Never mind read the secret wrong... Real question! Does he just shove whatever food he finds in his pockets to eat in dark corners because there's people around?

Re: SA

(Anonymous) 2020-01-17 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
In the series, Din does eat without his helmet, just alone and when nobody is in the same room as him. I think it makes Mandalorians rather lonely.

Re: SA

(Anonymous) 2020-01-17 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Not even in in front of Baby Yoda? Huh, I imagine it would be lonely, also very inconvenient... He'd have to be looking over his shoulder just to make sure nobody's going to walk in just to have a drink.

nayrt

"Not even in in front of Baby Yoda?"

Not as of yet, but things may change after the events of the season finale.

It's not played as an inconvenience to him because he's basically a true believer raised in the doctrine. He's identifies so strongly with it he was willing to die rather than remove it in front of people.

There's an episode where he eats. He just does so alone in full view of a window with where his little yoda is playing where any of them can look over but they never do so whatever i guess lol

Re: SA

(Anonymous) 2020-01-17 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Do they say what happens if he does get caught without the mask? I imagine it must be either an awkward 'you didn't see anything' moment, or a 'now I'm going to have to kill you' thing.

it looks like its on honor system, but essentially he can't be part of the mandalorians anymore. so like i guess he could lie?

but this seems like its a recent rule that has to do with the empire massacring them and them only being allowed to come out of their hiding spot one at a time, as a way to obfuscate their numbers and identities.

I can't say I get it, but that does make sense.

That bugged the shit of of my husband. LOL. But, he's also *above* them, so maybe with the awning and the dimness of the room he's in, they can't actually see him.At least not clearly enough to matter.

I know right!? Every time I watch I'm like, "It's called a window, idiot! People can see you through it!"

Links???
