The Mandalorian
Summary
A frequently disregardedStar Warsdetail drastically deepen not onlyDin Djarin ’s backstoryinThe Mandalorian , but also the wholeStar Warsgalaxy . With so muchStar Warscontent to get through and fresh movies , TV shows , comics , and account book coming out all the fourth dimension , it ’s almost unacceptable to keep up with everything the franchise has put out . Between Legends and canon , there ’s an unbelievable amount of copious lore and beetleweed - building . It ’s instinctive to neglect small detail here and there . However , there ’s one detail that ’s often overleap that has major implication for both Mando and a wandflower far , far aside .
What ’s the good way to find out Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you need to cognise to keep an eye on in going or timeline order , and how to include the TV shows .
Din Djarin Describes His Childhood Attackers As “Imperial”
InStar Wars : The Mandalorian Junior Novel , Joe Schreiber writes : " All around him , he could see Mandalorians in jet plurality , shore with their blasters out and fighting back against the imperial beard . " Something to observe is that it was droids attack Aq Vetina , not be soldiers . Further , the droids were distinctly recognizable as the ones used by the Separatists- specifically , the droids used wereB2 - serial super battle droids , which were far more dangerous and intelligent than the B1 - series droids .
boom describing his attackers as Imperials in the junior novelisation suggests the attempt take in place before long after the establishment of the Empire . The Mandalorianis set in 9 ABY- 5 long time after the event ofStar Wars : Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi . This placesThe Mandalorian30 old age after Order 66 and the formation of the Empire , and Din is thought to be between the ages of 8 and 10 when he becomes a foundling . This would mean that it is possiblethe battle of Aq Vetina took place in the early day of the Empire as they were still clearing out rebel enclaves .
The Attack Was Thought To Have Happened During The Clone Wars
Because the soldiers who attacked Aq Vetina were topnotch struggle droids , it was assumed the attack on Din Djarin ’s homeworld was launched by the Separatists during the Clone Wars . However , the fact that Din cry the attackers Imperials suggests this is n’t the case . The Empire did n’t exist during the Clone Wars , and even if he were reference the Clone Wars but replacing the names of the warring party with their advanced counterparts , it still would n’t make gumption for him to refer to the attackers as Imperial . The Republic became the Empire , not the Separatist Alliance .
The average layman would n’t sleep with the Separatists were being controlled by Palpatine the entire meter . In fact , most Separatists did n’t even know they were being led by Palpatine , as that entropy was cautiously kept a secret . It was essential to Palpatine ’s design that no one knew his use in the Clone Wars . If Din were referring to the Clone Wars , he should have said that separatist attack his homeworld , as there would be no way for him to love they were in reality under Palpatine ’s authority . The fact he said " imperial " suggests the approach could n’t have taken space during the Clone Wars .
The Empire May Have Had Access To Battle Droids
It is possible the imperial had access to Separatist battle droids . After all , Palpatine was the occult leader of both sides of the state of war . It is totally possible that after the Clone Wars end , he accept over the Separatist mill and begin using them to bring to his Imperial U. S. Army . This would suit Palpatine ’s personality quite well . After going through all the effort to start out a warfare and producing battle droids , there ’s no reasonableness why he would n’t then put those battle droids to use . Battle droids allow one to mitigate or excrete loss of life and can easy be mass - produced , making them a bully room to conserve resources .
Further , it would not be hard for the Empire to get away with taking over Separatist manufactory and putting them to use . give the fact thatthe Empire is a totalitarian government , it would be easy for them to start using the Separatist droid U. S. Army for their own design . They would n’t even have to hide it . If anyone take issue , they could simply say they might as well take an army that was used for evil and use it for skillful and , if that person kept hold noise , the Empire had no qualms about quieting their political enemy .
Was The Empire Actually Responsible For The Fall Of Aq Vetina?
If the attack on Aq Vetina really did take place during the time of the Empire , it would confirm the Mandalorians were fighting the Empire duringthe Dark Times- not just on Mandalore , but on other planets as well . The Mandalorian purges and the Night of a Thousand Tearshappened because the Mandalorians stood up to the Empire . This made the Empire deem them too much of a terror to survive . If it was truly the Empire using Separatist fight droids to attack Aq Vetina , this would mean the Mandalorians ' war against the Empire was bighearted than anyone think .
If the Mandalorians were actually travel around to different planets to fight the Empire , this would excuse why the Empire was so bent on entirely wiping them out . While the Empire was tyrannous , it was rare they destroyed a planet and its people for no clear purpose . After all , the Empire did n’t care to waste resources , and people are a imagination . InThrawn(2017 ) , it is shown the Empire enslave people , such as the Wookiees . Similarly , inAndor , it is shown the Empire also used faux imprisonment to ensure slave labor . It is somewhat surprising , then , they did n’t make use of the Mandalorians by forcing them to work for the Empire .
However , if the Mandalorians were really going around fighting the majestic military group , it would make common sense the Empire would deem them too severe to be maintain alive . After all , the Mandalorians were fearsome warriors . Din ’s flashback inThe Mandalorianseason 1 , instalment 8 makes it clean-cut the Mandalorians were strong enough to take on the droid army . If they were mount a large resistance to Imperial control , it would make signified for the Empire to hunt them down .
Even though this scene is n’t talked about much beyond its significance to Din Djarin as a character , it has broader implication for theStar war universe as a whole . If the attack on Aq Vetina really was launched by the Empire , it means the war between the Empire and the Mandalorians was a much bigger deal than antecedently thought . It would be interesting to see this war explored in more particular in otherStar Warsmedia , andThe Mandalorianhas the opportunity to do so in its hereafter .
