The reason Mando does so many “side quests” is because he’s poor. He has to work for everything. He lives a self-sufficient life on the road bringing money back to his tribe to support them because Mandalorians aren’t safe and can only show their faces in town one at a time or they’re perceived as a danger because of how they look and what reputation is attributed to that appearance by many people. Almost every single episode has somebody picking a fight with Mando over the armor when he’s literally just standing there. He has to fight, scrap, save, barter, trade, and work for every single thing he has because the alternative is dying, or people he cares about dying. It doesn’t matter if it’s because they’re attacked or because they literally don’t have the money to eat, most of the Mandalorians we’ve seen live hand to mouth day by day, surviving out of sheer willpower and working together
Season 1 Episode 2: His only means of transportation (/place of living) is scavenged for parts and stolen in pieces. He’s forced to negotiate with the ones who took his stuff and do a job for them so he can get it all back before then having to rebuild the ship (when he shouldn’t have to trade anything for it to begin with)
Season 1 Episode 4: He wants somewhere safe and unassuming he can lay low with the kid and agrees to scare off some local bandits so he can have lodging. His original long term plan was to stay on Sorgan for a few months— He’s willing to fight the bandits and the Walker because that village was where he was given somewhere to eat and sleep and because he had intended to live there long term
Season 1 Episode 5: The hunter that found them on Sorgan forces him to acknowledge he’s not allowed to remain sedentary. He tries to go back to his old job, working as a bounty hunter for money; he and the kid can live on the ship, though it isn’t ideal, but he needs food, fuel, and immediate ship repairs. The betrayal of the gunslinger and confirmation from a target that word of him breaking the Guild Code has reached the literal farthest reaches of the Outer Rim solidifies that he can’t be a legitimate hunter anymore and that people who recognize him or the kid (or recognize them because they’re together) will be gunning for the reward, leading to—
Season 1 Episode 6: Mando going back to the only other life and means of making money he’s known, working shady jobs with criminals in the hope of receiving payment. The job proves even more unpredictable and dangerous than the last one and puts him back at square one again.
Season 2 Episode 1: Mando is a well-rounded character who’s been given an objective outside of just surviving to the next day. He only ends up in Mos Pelgo because he needs information, and he only agrees to fight the Krayt dragon because— as a well-rounded character— he’s promised culturally important relics of his people that he holds in the highest respect. The armor of a dead Mandalorian being given the proper respect (showing the honor he has for his people) is shown to be tied in importance with the kid. At least he’s given some food for the road because it’s clear he wasn’t being paid any money in addition to it.
Season 2 Episode 2: Chasing the barest lead on information about other Mandalorians forces him to take the dangerous passage he does; he only ends up having to survive the ice planet because of the threat of incarceration if he didn’t run. He’s not being paid in money here either AND his ship is literally barely holding together. If it was a horse he’d have to shoot it.
Season 2 Episode 3: Bo-Katan is his last lead on information about a Jedi. The child needs a Jedi teacher so he’ll be safe. By this point Mando is desperate and BKK forces him to do a dangerous job in exchange for information. He’s not getting any money this season because all of the jobs he does are in exchange for information and it’s a lot easier to manipulate and force people who need a favor from you to do whatever you tell them because you have something more specific than money they can’t get anywhere else. He doesn’t have enough money to cover a good fix of the Crest but doesn’t have anything to leverage against the mechanic who did a partial job for all the money he did have left, meaning—
Season 2 Episode 4: He has to call in a favor from a friend. Karga’s willing to cover his fuel, repairs, and docking fees, but oh Mando while you’re here I have this pesky Imperial infestation and since it’ll take a while for your ship to be repaired and you’re not busy…
Season 2 Episode 5: Now he’s finally found a Jedi. Now he may finally be able to give the kid to somebody who can protect him and teach him how to protect himself. Now the kid may finally be able to live a long, safe life, even if it means it can’t be with him. Oh right except this Jedi says she isn’t really a Jedi anymore, and also she’s kind of busy, but maybe she’ll think about it if you help her do her own thing in liberating a town—
Only for Ahsoka to then go back on her deal because she has her own thing going on. Considering how important the whole Thrawn mission is shown to be later, I’m not all that convinced she was ever going to take the kid as an apprentice. She may have been on the fence and maybe considered doing it if Elsbeth didn’t give any information up, but if the whole Ahsoka show was about her search for Thrawn, it’s obvious she has a lot more involvement in that than she’d be able to afford if she took the kid as her ward. The idea that the kid’s too attached to Mando for her to take him as a student seems like a pretty convenient excuse considering she knows this guy has zero clue about anything to do with the Jedi. It doesn’t matter if she’s right or not, she could have been upfront about having more pressing matters she was devoted to.
And then the rest of season 2 is the bigger plot. Episodes 1, 3, 7, and 8 of Season 1 were plot.
Mando has to live life on the road in a dangerous and unpredictable galaxy doing dangerous and unpredictable jobs. He’s poor. He’s a survivalist. He’s desperate. He makes friends because interpersonal ties are often the only other form of currency he has, and those ties still often come with requests for favors or work in exchange for what they can do for him. Hardly anybody is giving him anything, and even when they do, he still feels obligated to pay them back.
Hound, your posts are a breath of fresh air in a smog-choked city.
My sister and I were discussing something uncannily similar a short while back, about how Din’s jobs go in the show, how we see his practicality but also his reasonableness and, I would also say, his extreme generosity because there are multiple cases (e.g. the Jawas in Ep. 2 and Cobb with the armour) where Din didn’t have to concede to their terms—they had things that, by right, did not belong to them (the Jawas did steal his ship and Mandalorian armour does belong to Mandalorians, not to people who buy it off Jawas (regardless of how well they put it to use and their valiance in defending their town)
But that’s the charm of this character. He doesn’t just shoot every problem in his path (or, at least, he didn’t use to). And we see many instances where his striving to find another way, a more diplomatic way to handle a situation comes back around to help him later (like in sparing Mayfeld, making sure to pay Peli for her services, compromising where he could afford to when planning with Greef, etc.) That flexibility shows just how experienced he is in making his way in this galaxy.
The struggle to get by, to earn a living, to provide for the tribe, that was what made the first two seasons—and especially the first—so interesting. As much as I wish the seasons were longer than just eight episodes, those eight chapters were used pretty darn well (at first), and those side-quests provided a perfect stage for Din’s skills, his savviness, and his moral code to shine.
Yes yes yes! You’re absolutely right! (Also thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate it 😭💕)
He is incredibly generous in so many of his interactions, and that generosity often does pay off! One thing I think holds true through the entire first two seasons is that Din always gives people at LEAST one chance. Everybody gets a warning or the chance to walk away or do the right thing, and it’s only after they prove they’re going to continue being a problem that he retaliates. Sure he’s violent— But it’s only after those people cross the line. He DOES have his own moral code, whether it takes people a while to figure out exactly what rules it operates by or not. He doesn’t shoot first and ask questions later, he puts his hand on his holster and makes it clear he means business.
I think the only times there isn’t an obvious chance verbally or visibly given to the other person, it’s with the Jawas (who are ransacking his ship and he believes shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place) or Qin in the “Prisoner”— But I’d argue even then that Qin being alive and IN prison WAS his chance. “The man who left me behind is now my savior,” Qin says, but he’s alive to say it. Whatever Qin did in the past was enough that Mando left him on purpose, and we get the sense that Qin was dangerous enough Din didn’t have to. What Qin does in “The Prisoner” episode exceeded his allotted grace from Mando’s end.
And what I really like about him is that his grace sometimes extends past one chance in really interesting character moments: When Karga confronts him on the Crest in “The Sin,” Din shoots him exactly where he knows Karga has beskar covering him. I’m certain he did that on purpose because even though Karga was there to kill him if he had to, he’s also probably one of very few people outside the tribe Din considered close to a friend. He didn’t want to kill him. (He just also couldn’t have Karga following him either.)
His generosity and mediation coming back around to help him in other ways really is one of the good parts of the show because it opens up opportunities to revisit those people and places in the future. It’s always so good to see story threads come back in interesting, organic ways based on the established history. I’m definitely with you in wishing the seasons were longer, but I’m glad they utilized a lot of the episodes the way that they did. He’s just such a good character and I wish we got to see more of what he was like in those earlier episodes

Human
Summary: When Din is forced to be without his helmet, the reality hits him harder than he expects.
Warnings: no pairing, spiraling, mention of anxiety, just full on angst
Word count: 932
The med bay smells like antiseptic and burnt wires.
Din is sitting completely rigid on of the narrow cots that was placed in the corner of the room, the medical droid moving up and down in front of him, metal clicking loudly against a tray on one of the tables. His whole body aches from the crash he suffered hours ago. His shoulder plate is bent and broken, the shiny mythosaur cut in half, and blood has painted his flight suit red.
But his heart is not pounding out of his chest because of these. His helmet is laying two feet away from him, leaving him completely exposed and wanting to hide.
I just want to let you know that I love your premise of a ppcu fic with no pairing. I wish I could read it if anxiety wasn’t such a triggering topic for me I’d sooo read it. Reblogging for visibility!
the Pedro puppies interview was fun
A few more customs based on the press junket. First up is his bow tie look at the London stop. It’s kind of hidden in the shadow, but tried to get a better view in the close up. Spasticcustoms.etsy.com #pedropascal #themandalorianandgrogu #london

I had to do his look from the LA premiere too. Spasticcustoms.etsy.com #pedropascal #themandalorianandgrogu #losangeles

I thought I’d do a fun one based on him surprising guests of Smuggler’s Run at Galaxy’s Edge. It a cheaper custom, since it reuses the body I had. Spasticcustoms.etsy.com #pedropascal #themandalorianandgrogu #galaxysedge

Pedro Pascal: The Puppy Interview
I was on my work computer and these were the default headlines for the Mandalorian and Grogu.
These negative headlines are so forced. It already over performed from their projections and let's look at some facts.
The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed over 160mil opening weekend.
Its budget was 165 million.
People keep comparing it to Solo...but why? It's domestic opening was not better and its budget was 90 million more.
And Solo opened in MORE theaters.
Does anyone remember last summer, entities like Variety trying to convince us that Sinners was NOT a box office success...
Jon Favreau gave us Iron Man, he gave us Elf, he gave us The Mandalorian!
And now we've turned around and despite this Rotten Tomatoes audience score
Why try to make the narrative that this movie is not a success? There are sincere, general criticisms to be had, as with any film. But
Let's zoom in on this headline...
Yeah, let's lay it ALL on the latino lead.
Do I have to say it?
This is nothing but pure Hateration.
And in these fascist times the Holleration has indeed gotten worse.
These click baiters be cosplaying as journalists.
