This is the way

What impresses me most in the whole show is the cultural heritage of the Mandalorian. They do not become clansmen because of blood, but only because of culture. In my eyes, the woman who makes the armor is not only in charge of the fire, but also guards the fire of civilization inheritance. The same clan who were killed to save them (presumably, because only the armor was left...), even if they knew they would be exposed or even die... still support the male lead's way. After the male protagonist got the iron, in addition to making armor for himself, the others were given to the children of the same race, because his first Mandalorian iron also came in this way. This heritage is shocking. Even if this ethnic group temporarily disappears, this spiritual civilization will be passed on forever.

Chapter 9: The Marshal quotes

  • The Mandalorian: They're laying out a bantha to protect the settlement. They've studied its digestion cycle for generations. They feed the dragon to make it sleep longer. Watch, the dragon will appear.

    [a Tusken Raider howls; with a rumble, the krayt dragon appears and devours it, ignoring the bantha]

    The Mandalorian: They might be open to some fresh ideas.

  • Cobb Vanth: What are the bones?

    The Mandalorian: That's the krayt dragon.

    Cobb Vanth: And those little rocks?

    The Mandalorian: That's us.

    Cobb Vanth: It's not to scale.

    The Mandalorian: I think it is.

    Cobb Vanth: Can't be. That's too big.

    The Mandalorian: [signing with a Raider] It's to scale.

    Cobb Vanth: I've only seen its head and neck. It's a whole lot bigger than I guessed. Might be time to re-think our arrangement.

    [after signing with Mando, a Raider adds more little rocks]

    Cobb Vanth: That's more like it. Where are they getting the reinforcements?

    The Mandalorian: I volunteered your village.
