#chain code

(❤️ this scene & dialogue)

Din Djarin: (Approaching Boba & Fennec) This is all that survived…(Shows them his Beskar spear) Boba Fett: (Instantly recognizing what the spear is made of) Beskar. Din Djarin: (Nods yes) Boba Fett: I want you to take a look at something….

Boba Fett: (Raises his left gauntlet & activates its holographic data read-out display. Looking at the holographic data, which is written in Mando'a….) Boba Fett: My chain code has been encoded in this armor for 25 years. (Indicating hologram) See, this is me…Boba Fett. Boba Fett: (Points at one holographic symbol) This is my father, Jango Fett. (Looks up from the display at Din Djarin)

Din Djarin: (Considering Boba's words, observing the display Boba has just shown him & hearing the name of Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Jango Fett….) Din Djarin: (Din immediately understands why this man has claimed the Mandalorian armor he is now wearing) Your father was a foundling.

Boba Fett: Yes. (Deactivates the display) He even fought in the Mandalorian Civil Wars. Din Djarin: Then that armor belongs to you. Boba Fett: (Nods yes) I appreciate it's return….

THIS scene confirmed SO much: *IS Jango a Mandalorian? YES! *DOES Boba read/understand Mando'a? Uh-huh! *DOES Boba Know his Mandalorian Heritage? Yup! *AFTER All of these years is Boba FINALLY shown on screen being a bad-a$$ with & without his Mandalorian Armor? HELL YES!!!

As a long-time fan of the Mando'ade/ Boba Fett/ Jango Fett/ Jaster Mereel/ True Mandalorians & a big fan of The Mandalorian, it was so satisfying to watch this episode & witness the above-referenced exchange between Din Djarin & Boba Fett.

Boba Fett IS canonically alive! It's official!

(AND this scene FINALLY shuts down all of the "Jango Fett really wasn't a Mandalorian" osik).

@trizzone52 attempted to image correct (mirrored the image and played with color and contrast).

We can make out some letters (maybe) and for certain his name at the bottom.

According to Wookieepedia:

Chain codes identified specific biometric details of an individual and were made up of several numbers, with the final four digits signifying the subject's age. They contained other information as well, pertaining to topics such as a person's family history and criminal record.

It seems like gibberish from what we can tell but here's a blank if anyone is better at translating! Neither of us are fluent in Aurebesh 😅

Imperial Chain Codes | The Bad Batch 1.04

NOTE: JK is wearing a light blue hanky and half silver/half blue chain on his left-hand side. Tae is wearing a silver key chain and a blue with white ribbon/rope on his right-hand side.

Ok, the Gay community before we had Grindr, and before the internet, men would through the use of chains and coloured hankies to help others identify their sexual preferences.

Initially, chains were the original identifier (and kept on being used by the Lesbian community). If you wore it on the Left you were a Top and on the right, you're saying you're a bottom.

Hankies (and their colours) followed by giving more detail about certain kinks you were into, and still followed the left/right positions of the chain code...

Now I'm not saying that JK is a sailor and batter, or that Tae is very (into) anal. But the placement in particular (maybe the colours were decided because of the photoshoot theme) do suggest something. I mean BTS have stated that they work together with their stylists to create their outfits, just saying.

As a side note... does this mean that both JK and Tae are also into piercings and hustlers?
