10 Star Wars Questions We Still Need Answers To

1. Who Is The Armorer?

Star Wars Questions New Version

The Armorer was first introduced in The Mandalorian and remains one of the most transfixing characters in recent Star Wars history. 

This is in large part because we've never seen her face - though we know she's portrayed by Emily Swallow - and little concrete is known about who she is.

Beyond repairing the Mandalorians' armour, she also provides spiritual counsel to them, and is very clearly held in a high regard by the tribe she leads. 

There's no questioning her skill and intelligence, but in terms of her wider motivations, personality, and her actual name, we're pretty much left in the dark.

One suspects that Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni might opt to keep The Amorer's characterisation vague indefinitely to inject some intrigue back into a franchise that, according to many fans, is a little too into the idea of fan service for its own good.

The fan theories about the Armorer's true identity are fascinatingly diverse, from being a Jedi who survived Order 66 to even being Darth Maul's follower Rook Kast. 

Take your pick, basically, because it's entirely possible we'll be left on the hook about this one for a good while - if not forever.
