Youtube is hitting me with all the Mandalorian covers now. I gotta say, at first the theme never really did anything for me, but man has it grown on me. Might even say it will go down as a classic. That weird little bit with the climbing chords and odd timing right after the main melody finishes is great.
I think my problem with it originally was that it didn't really sound 'starwars' to me, whatever that means. It's really great though. And hey, considering this is also part of the theme song canon, it's not even close to being the most dissonant

Star Wars wise, Weathers could do his Mandalorian gig wearing adidas sweatpants, mortorcycle boots and a fez hat, adlibbing Othello he'd still do a better acting job than 99% of anything we've seen since Phantom Menace.
You can nitpick his Mandalorian job all day long, just don't forget the bar was very low.

You keep saying this. Where does it come from? I can understand an argument that boba isn't a real mando. In the legends timeline he certainly was, but in the new timeline they haven't really covered it. All we know is that he was an orphaned clone with sub par armor. But how do you get that jango wasn't?

There's a Clone Wars episode where the leader of Mandalore says that Jango was just a bounty hunter who acquired a Mando set of armor. Boba Fett is definitely not a Mandalorian.
There was no tie-in other than baby Yoda using force healing before it is used in Rise of Skywalker.

I don't remember that and it's hard to believe. He was 100% mando in the legends timeline. He was even the mandalore. It's hard to separate what bits of the story came from where, but clone wars shouldn't have been so openly countermanding what was the official canon at the time.
Clone wars or rebels? I can see rebels assfucking those stories like that.
OK cool that's enough for me. We saw it all the time in the EU, but I guess that is the first time it was on screen.

Only someone who has paid zero attention to anything concerning mandalorians, including this series, could think that. Mandalorian is not a race. You're not born one. Also, I fail to see why that's any sort of a problem.
That said, according to the legends lore, the clones were mandos, at least the more advanced ones were. Many followed the mandalorian traditions. But that hasn't been reaffirmed in the new canon yet. Unless it was in clone wars. I can't remember most of what happened there. All the canon shit got filed away in my brain with little regard for where it came from. When they came back later and threw away most of it, it fucked me up.

Carl weathers illustrates that charisma can be more important than acting. He tanked EVERY line and did it in the most enjoyable way possible. My favorite scenes almost all involved him.

The Mythosaur symbol dates all the way back to the beginning of Mandalorian culture.

Well aware, but it's meant to be tied in with Boba Fett in this series. That was the tie-in people were asking about that they missed.
