'The Mandalorian' Spoilers: What The Helmet Rule Means For 'Star Wars'

“The Mandalorian” has not only been telling the story of a lone gunfighter operating in the Outer Rim, but it has also been building on the lore of the warrior race in the fictitious galaxy. The show recently introduced a new rule about the helmets of the warriors, which may reveal more about the people from Mandalore.

The following article contains spoilers of “The Mandalorian” TV series.

In one of the scenes in the episode “The Sin,” Pedro Pascal’s character is confronted by Paz Vizla (Jon Favreau) for working for the Empire. However, the armorer defended him and asked him if he ever removed his helmet in front of strangers. The gunfighter said he didn’t, and everyone agreed that this was the way of the warrior’s life they have all chosen.

While the helmet rule works for the TV series, the problem is that there was no such rule for the other Mandalorians in “Star Wars.” Even in the “Rebels” and “Clone Wars” TV series there were many people from the planet who regularly took of their helmets.

Did “The Mandalorian” just create a plot hole with the new helmet rule? According to Screen Rant one possible explanation for it is that the helmet rule is restricted to the clan that Pascal’s character belongs to. There are many clans of people from Mandalore, and the TV series may explore how each one is different.

The TV series has become a big hit, and according to Screen Rant the show has managed to win praise from both fans and critics. The success of the show is significant for Lucasfilm and Disney because the sequel trilogy movies have led to a lot of division among the fans.

“The Mandalorian” is currently available only on the Disney+ streaming service. The first four episodes are available for the fans to watch online.
