Welcome

They way Din tells Grogu that Mandalore is the home of their people (him fully considering Grogu as a part of him is also just so beautiful we love character growth) is so reminiscent of my grandparents telling us how their home countries weren’t just theirs but were our home.

Din confessing to Grogu that he’s never been to Mandalore despite the fact that being a Mandalorian is integral to his existence is eerily similar to 1st and 2nd gen kids admitting that they’ve never been to their families’ homeland.

Bo-Katan showing Din around and explaining the history and culture of Mandalore is just a diaspora kid being in their ancestral land for the first time and being shown around by someone who actually was raised in the culture/country like some tourist.

But you want to know what really killed me? What looked me in the face and said “This is a personal attack specifically just towards you”??? The moment where Din points to Concordia and tells Grogu, “I grew up there.” So close to Mandalore, yet it’s not. As a latina (specifically being Mexican and growing up in the Southwest), knowing that you’re surrounded by your culture, you barely speak the language, and geographically you’re so close to your homeland, yet you will never truly be from there?

In other words, Din “no sabo kid” Djarin teaching his adoptive son about their culture is peak Star Wars.
