5. Din's New Armor Looks Amazing

Mandalorian armor in general is some of the coolest designs for sci-fi armor in the history of the genre. And while the slapdash, battle-scarred, thrown together look that Din had in Season 1 was pretty cool in its own way, visually conveying his resourcefulness as well as the implication that this dude had seen some sh*t, it's nice to see more footage of the complete reconstructed armor that we only got at the tail end of Season 1.

The new armor set makes him look more properly Mandalorian - sleek but deadly, visually striking yet practical and utilitarian. The shine job his helmet has gotten between seasons is also a definite plus.

Given how the last season went, there's no doubt that this armor will get as messed up as it did then, but the fact that it looks so clean and polished from the start will make any damage he accrues stick out more.

And of course, Din FINALLY got his jetpack!
