Isn't it just hunter green? I don't think there's meant to be much behind it.
Spoilers The Mandalorian Season 3
- Thread starter JD
- Start date
Maybe Boba did a stint on Mandalor or one of its worlds shortly after the Clone Wars. Maybe when he got his chain code he decided to investigate Jango's roots and took what he liked and left the creed behind. But, as the Armorer says "The Mythosaur belongs to all Mandaloreans. It is always acceptable to wear".
I suppose, though the value of it as camouflage is dubious at best for a hunter that operates in all kinds of environments and climates. Plus the orange shoulders & kneepads, red gauntlets, and the white and blue jetpack rather stand out, no? If that's not bad enough; everywhere he walks he jingles like he's wearing spurs, so not terribly stealthy either way.
It doesn't matter so much if one sticks to the old asinine EU idea of all Mandalorians being highly individualistic vagabond space-viking-spartans. But in canon, armour paint generally denotes clan and house affiliation. So it's hard to write it off as meaningless, especially as noted previously; he takes the time to restore it all.
The Mythosaur isn't much of a mystery since it's been adopted as a catch-all Mano symbol (though still a little odd for a person proclaiming "I never said I was [Mandalorian]".) That's kind of like someone that wears a very prominent cross necklace and then being all "who said I was a Christian!?"
The chest symbol is the real head scratcher. That has the look of a regimental patch, or coat of arms of some sort (especially by pure happenstance of art direction it has an aurebesh letter on it.) May not even be Mandalorian in origin because: aurebesh, not Mando script.
I suppose for all we know it could be a bounty guild thing, though we've never seen anything like it anywhere else.
Similarly the old 'Journeyman Protector' idea doesn't work either given that 1) we've already seen the Protectors of Concorde Dawn in canon and none of them wore anything like that (though they did sport a very different symbol from one of the earlier Boba prototype costumes.) And 2) it really doesn't fit Boba's backstory, nor does it make much sense for it to be Jango's. I mean it's kind of like if your dad was a cop that got kicked off the force before you were even born, and you as a full grown adult just randomly go around wearing his old badge. That's weird.

I think we can safely establish that Fett isn't sane and weird is just another Tuesday for him.

It's probably not originally meant as Aurebesh since that was not developed at the time of Empire Strikes Back. But, it's not like there is only one way to stylistically design letters. English alone bears out the fact that you can stylized a letter in multiple different ways.
Case in point: that exact character being an alternate way of rendering a '7'.
Probably how it ended up in aurebesh in the first place since (as was the case with most of the made-up sci-fi graphical script in original the movies) the lettering on the shuttle tydirium graphic was created by altering existing letters on one of those old Letraset dry transfer sheets (Eurostile Black Extended IIRC.)

The "Gallery" episode for season 3 is up.
Yeah, nothing massively interesting to be honest. Don't get me wrong it's not bad by any means, it's just that with only an hour to cover the whole season, it's mostly talking heads, with a few anecdotes here and there. The only BtS detail that actually jumped out at me was that one of the Jedi in the flashback scene appears to have been a male Mirialan. I don't recall spotting that in the actual show.
I just watched it and I enjoyed every minute of it. I always relish hearing from creators about how they create something so magnificent. It was especially great not just hearing from the lead actors and directors (and Jon and Dave), but also from the costumers, set designers, stunt coordinators, and particularly the puppeteers. It was also wonderful seeing Jack Black's and Lizzo's behind-the-scenes super enthusiasm about being involved, although I wish we had gotten more from Christopher Lloyd.
I agree it should've been more than one episode for the whole season, but for what it was, it was great. I did notice when I pulled up the episode that season two only got two episodes, so I guess the budget for Gallery dropped. I'm reminded of how Doctor Who: Confidential slowly disappeared during the Moffat era for the same reason.

Well it's not like the first season had a huge budget. It was mostly one round-table discussion intercut with BtS b-roll footage. The footage was clearly taken regardless; the only extra production cost is in editing it into a narrative documentary, which seems like it should be comparatively negligible.
Personally I think it's a mistake to have these as Disney+ exclusives. They should just upload them to youtube so they can at least promote the show and the platform. I mean that's what 'making of' docs used to be made for.
The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 will be getting a Blu-ray release (along with Loki and WandaVision).

Slight correction: according to that article, it's the first two seasons of Mando.
Thank you for the correction. Edits have been made.
