Star Wars: 20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Mandalorian
Clone Wars nods, familiar weaponry, and other Mandalorian details you probably didn't catch!
The world was a very different place when Din Djarin and his eventual adopted son were first introduced to the masses on Disney+.
Yet, while the planet may have been changed forever on the back of that November 2019 release, one thing that didn't in the coming years was the frankly absurd amount of love sent the ways of the titular Mandalorian, Grogu, and the rest of the small-screen world Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni helped create.
And The Mandalorian has now wrapped up its third and biggest season yet, one stuffed full of beskar battles, unexpected twists, and flipping little green legends.
Yet, even with this Star Wars series sitting as one of the most popular things to tumble out of the galaxy far, far away in almost a decade, there's still a ton of wonderful details and elements within this 24-chapter (and counting) tale that are yet to be fully discovered by the average Mando lover.
So, with that in mind, now is likely as good a time as any to take a closer look at everything from rather familiar sounding supporting players, to the easily missed inspirations behind some of Mando's finest moments.
20. Din Djarin's Batman Moment
It turns out that the two leading lights of The Mandalorian and Batman worlds share more in common than grumbling their way through chaotic scenarios and making a cape look all kinds of badass.
When taking in Season 3's Chapter 19: The Convert, Mando can be seen trying to evade an incoming TIE squadron in his trusty N-1 Starfighter. And it's during that sequence when Din Djarin pulls off a rather familiar manoeuvre high above the surface of Kalevala.
In a way that evokes memories of Michael Keaton's Batman doing something similar in Tim Burton's 1989 picture, Mando fires himself high up, vertically into the sky before hovering in the air for just a moment as the ship floats back down to meet the enemy.
Now, it may just be a coincidence that this cool as all hell starfighter float hugely resembles Keaton's Batwing hover above the clouds. But it's an awesome one all the same.
