#and also grumpy

While writing the previous reason (HERE) I was listening to the sountrack from the Chapter 1 (HERE) and I just noticed something interesting. Around [13:06] - which would be [23:48] in the episode - we hear this soft baby tune for the first time.

But Din has just landed on Arvala-7, so playing this part of the score seems to not make much sense. But I have two theories. The first one is very simple: it’s just a foreshadowing. A little wink to the audience who already knows what will happen and waits for The Baby. When you expect him, you can catch this tune and recognize that it’s for the character that is yet to appear on screen.

And my second theory is connected with something I’ve already mentioned in the 5th reason (HERE). Honestly... playing this sort of music when it’s just Kuiil and Din kind of proves what I already believed (probably not, but let me pretend). Which is: Kuiil, in a way, adopts Mando, just like Mando adopted The Baby.

Of course playing this kind of music for a grown man may seem rediculous, but... is it? From Kuiil’s perspective Din may have as well be fourteen. Their relationship starts with The Ugnaught rescuing Mando. Later he offers him help for nothing, encourages him to learn, teaches him, makes him more confident, guides him... If you remember that at the end he dies, because Din needed him and Din was ready to die for Baby Yoda about two hundred times, it really starts to look similar. (Even the first scenes they have together both start with one of them towering over the other right after the older one saves the younger one from death... or loosing an arm at least.)
